Sivashinsky's [Acta Astron. 4, 1177 (1977)] nonlinear integrodifferential equation for the shape of corrugated one-dimensional flames is ultimately reducible to a 2N -body problem, involving the 2N complex poles of the flame slope. Thual, Frisch, and Hénon [J. Phys. (France) 46, 1485 (1985)] derived singular linear integral equations for the pole density in the limit of large steady wrinkles (N...

This paper presents a numerical exploration of the behavior of thèsliced cone' laboratory apparatus, a simple model of wind-driven ocean circulation in a basin entirely bounded by continental shelves. The asymptotic (large time) variability of the ow is studied as a function of forcing strength using the techniques of dynamical systems theory. This approach sheds light on the transitions which ...

Neighborhoods and neighborhood sequences play important roles in several branches of pattern analysis. In earlier papers in Zn only certain special (e.g. periodic or octagonal) sequences were investigated. In this paper we study neighborhood sequences which are either ultimately periodic or allow at every neighborhood to do nothing at no cost. We give finite procedures and descriptive theoretic...

Network calculus offers powerful tools to analyze the performances in communication networks, in particular to obtain deterministic bounds. This theory is based on a strong mathematical ground, notably by the use of (min,+) algebra. However, the algorithmic aspects of this theory have not been much addressed yet. This paper is an attempt to provide some efficient algorithms implementing network...

Advances in manufacturing techniques may now realize virtually any imaginable microstructures, paving the way for architected materials with properties beyond those found nature. This has lead to a quest closing gaps property-space by carefully designed metamaterials. Development of mechanical metamaterials gone from open truss lattice structures closed plate stiffness close theoretical bounds....

The ability to create multi-scale, periodic colloidal assemblies with unique properties is important to emerging applications. Dynamically manipulating colloidal structures via tunable kT-scale attraction can provide the opportunity to create particle-based nano- and microstructured materials that are reconfigurable. Here, we report a novel tactic to obtain reconfigurable, multi-scale, periodic...

We present a field theoretic treatment of an adiabatic quantum motor. We explicitly discuss a motor termed Thouless motor which is based on a Thouless pump operating in reverse. When a sliding periodic potential is considered as the motor degree of freedom, a bias voltage applied to the electron channel sets the motor in motion. We investigate a Thouless motor whose electron channel is modeled ...

agriculture as one of the major economic sectors of iran, has an important role in gross domestic production by providing about 14% of gdp. this study attempts to forecast the value of the agriculture gdp using periodic autoregressive model (par), as the new seasonal time series techniques. to address this aim, the quarterly data were collected from march 1988 to july 1989. the collected data w...
