We investigate the critical behavior of three-dimensional antiferromagnetic CP (ACP) models in cubic lattices, which are characterized by a global U(N) symmetry and a local U(1) gauge symmetry. Assuming that critical fluctuations are associated with a staggered gauge-invariant (hermitian traceless matrix) order parameter, we determine the corresponding Landau-GinzburgWilson (LGW) model. For N =...

In this paper the characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows with heat transfer are obtained along with artificial compressibility of Chorin. At first, compatibility equations and pseudo characteristics for three-dimensional flows are derived from five governing equations (continuity equation, Momentum equations in three directions, and energy equation) and then results ...

BACKGROUND Advances in three-dimensional imaging and three-dimensional printing technology have expanded the frontier of presurgical design for microtia reconstruction from two-dimensional curved lines to three-dimensional perspectives. This study presents an algorithm for combining three-dimensional surface imaging, computer-assisted design, and three-dimensional printing to create patient-spe...

The advantages of digital media such as the Internet and CD-ROMs lie in the fact that their contents are easy to duplicate, edit, and distribute. These advantages, however, are double-edged swords, because they also facilitate unauthorized use of such contents. Data embedding, which places information into the contents themselves, is an approach to address this issue. Embedded information can b...

We consider a variational problem for three-dimensional (3D) classical lattice models. We construct the trial state as a two-dimensional product of local variational weights that contain auxiliary variables. We propose a stable numerical algorithm for the maximization of the variational partition function per layer. Numerical stability and efficiency of the new method is examined through its ap...
