We present and discuss the derivation of a nonlinear non-local integro-differential equation for the macroscopic time evolution of the conserved order parameter ρ(r, t) of a binary alloy undergoing phase segregation. Our model is a d-dimensional lattice gas evolving via Kawasaki exchange dynamics, i.e. a (Poisson) nearest–neighbor exchange process, reversible with respect to the Gibbs measure f...

In this thesis, a new grammar formalism called (local) Tree Description Grammar (TDG) is presented that generates tree descriptions. This grammar formalism brings together some of the central ideas in the context of Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG) on the one hand, and approaches to underspecified semantics for scope ambiguities on the other hand. First a general definition of TDGs is presented, a...

Extreme uplift associated with the formation of the 2.02 Ga Vredefort dome has exposed a substantial cross section through the crystalline early Archean basement complex rocks of the Kaapvaal craton. The rocks comprise polydeformed high-grade tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) gneisses, migmatites and late-tectonic intrusive granitoids that straddle the upper amphibolite-to granulite–faci...

let a be a banach algebra. a is called ideally amenable if for every closed ideal i of a, the first cohomology group of a with coefficients in i* is trivial. we investigate the closed ideals i for which h1 (a,i* )={0}, whenever a is weakly amenable or a biflat banach algebra. also we give some hereditary properties of ideal amenability.

let r and s be reduced rings with identities whose idempotents are central, and let m be an(r, s)-bimodule such that annr (m)=0. in this paper, we determine first the structure of automorphisms ofthe triangular ring, =sr mt0, and then, for all automorphisms α ,β of t we determine the structureof (α,β)-derivations of t.

Let A be a Banach algebra and X a Banach A-bimodule, the derivation D : A → X is semi-inner if there are ξ, μ ∈ X such that D(a) = a.ξ − μ.a, (a ∈ A). A is called semi-amenable if every derivation D : A → X∗ is semi-inner. The dual Banach algebra A is Connes semi-amenable (resp. approximately semi-amenable) if, every D ∈ Z1w _ (A,X), for each normal, dual Banach A-bimodule X, is semi -inner (re...

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring with extended centroid $C$, $U$ the Utumi quotient ring of $R$ and $m,n>0$ are fixed integers. We show that if $R$ admits derivation $d$ such that $b[[d(x), x]_n,[y,d(y)]_m]=0$ for all $x,yin R$ where $0neq bin R$, then there exists a central idempotent element $e$ of $U$ such that $eU$ is commutative ring and $d$ induce a zero derivation on $(1-e)U$. ...

This paper studies the Klein-Gordon equation and two modifications in an infinite Cantor set a fractal space-time. Their variational formulations are established discussed, spatio-temporal discontinuity requires both spatio-fractal derivative temporal for practical applications. Some basic properties of local fractional two-scale elucidated, derivation Euler-Lagrange is illustrated.

We consider the relationship between derivations and local power series quotients for a locally multiplicatively convex Fr echet algebra (this includes the case of a Banach algebra). In x2 we derive necessary conditions for a commutative Fr echet algebra to have a local power series quotient. Our main result here is Proposition 2.6, which shows that if the generating element has nite closed des...

We present an analytic derivation for the enhancement of local optical chirality in the near field of plasmonic nanostructures by tuning the far-field polarization of external light. We illustrate the results by means of simulations with an achiral and a chiral nanostructure assembly and demonstrate that local optical chirality is significantly enhanced with respect to circular polarization in ...
