A canonical relativistic formulation is introduced to quantize electromagnetic field in the presence of a polarizable and magnetizable moving medium. The medium is modeled by a continuum of the second rank antisymmetric tensors in a phenomenological way. The covariant wave equation for the vector potential and the covariant constitutive equation of the medium are obtained as the EulerLagrange e...

in classical mechanics, considering hook’s law stress is a linear function of strain. while in strain gradient theory stress is a function of strain and strain differentials. in this paper, novel formulation relating stress and strain and also new boundary conditions are derived based on minimum potential energy principle. in strain gradient theory a length coefficient parameter is defined. thi...

For a generic n-degree polynomial system which contains n+1 polynomials in n variables, we give the construction of the generic mixed Cayley-Sylvester resultant matrix. There are n− 1 generic mixed Cayley-Sylvester resultant matrices between the classical Cayley resultant matrix and the classical Sylvester resultant matrix. The entries of these new resultant matrix are of degree m(1 < m < n + 1...

In this paper, we consider large-scale linear discrete ill-posed problems where the right-hand side contains noise. Regularization techniques such as Tikhonov regularization are needed to control the effect of the noise on the solution. In many applications such as in image restoration the coefficient matrix is given as a Kronecker product of two matrices and then Tikhonov regularization proble...

We study Rainich-like conditions for symmetric and trace-free tensors T. For arbitrary even rank we find a necessary and sufficient differential condition for a tensor to satisfy the source free field equation. For rank 4, in a generic case, we combine these conditions with previously obtained algebraic conditions to obtain a complete set of algebraic and differential conditions on T for it to ...
