The asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue for general linear cooperative elliptic systems with small diffusion rates is determined. As an application, we show that if a cooperative system of ordinary differential equations has a unique positive equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable, then the corresponding reaction-diffusion system with either the Neumann boundary conditi...

We investigate the diffusion of particles on heterogeneous lattices with two kinds of nonequivalent sites. General analytical expressions for the chemical and jump diffusion coefficients have been derived in the case of strong inhomogeneity. We have calculated coverage dependencies of the diffusion coefficients and other necessary thermodynamic quantities for some representative values of the l...

It is long known that the Fokker-Planck equation with prescribed constant coefficients of diffusion and linear friction describes the ensemble average of the stochastic evolutions in velocity space of a Brownian test particle immersed in a heat bath of fixed temperature. Apparently, it is not so well known that the same partial differential equation, but now with constant coefficients which are...

Recent progress in state-resolved kinetic models of thermal relaxation and dissociation of oxygen based on highfidelity transition rate coefficients is presented. Specifically, three types of collisions encountered in high-temperature flows are discussed: O2–O, O2–N, and O2–N2. For these molecular systems, the thermal relaxation times and dissociation rate coefficients, obtained from extensive ...

Let Φ be a reduced root system of rank r. A Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series for Φ is a Dirichlet series in r complex variables s1, . . . , sr, initially converging for Re(si) sufficiently large, that has meromorphic continuation to C and satisfies functional equations under the transformations of C corresponding to the Weyl group of Φ. A heuristic definition of such series was given in [BB...

A countable class of integrable dynamical systems, with four dimensional phase space and conserved quantities in involution (Hn, In) are exhibited. For n = 1 we recover Clebsch sytem. All these systems are also integrable at the quantum level.

Abstract. In a recent paper [1] we have constructed the spin and tensor representations of SO(4) from which the invariant weight can be derived for the Barrett-Crane model in quantum gravity. By analogy with the SO(4) group, we present the complexified Clebsch-Gordan coefficients in order to construct the Biedenharn-Dolginov function for the SO(3,1) group and the spherical function as the Loren...

Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras which have the quantum parameter h built into their structure. They have been defined concretely as certain submodules Lh(g) of the quantized enveloping algebras Uh(g). On them the quantum Lie bracket is given by the quantum adjoint action. Here we define for any finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra g an abstract quantum Lie alge...

The 1|1-supertransvectants are the osp(1|2)-invariant bilinear operations on weighted densities on the supercircle S, the projective version of R. These operations are analogues of the famous Gordan transvectants (or Rankin-Cohen brackets). We prove that supertransvectants coincide with the iterated Poisson and ghost Poisson brackets on R and apply this result to construct star-products.

Using charged hard spheres model as an example, the dense one-component plasma is considered. For this model the Enskog-Landau kinetic equation is obtained and its normal solution is found using Chapman-Enskog method. Transport coefficients are obtained numerically and analytically and compared with the experimental data available. PACS: 05.60.+w, 05.70.Ln, 05.20.Dd, 52.25.Dg, 52.25.Fi.
