Stationary and time-dependent solutions of a nonlinear Kramers equation, as well as its associated nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, are investigated within the context of Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics. Since no general analytical time-dependent solutions are found for such a nonlinear Kramers equation, an ansatz is considered and the corresponding asymptotic behavior is studied a...

The development of different forms of measurement models for impedance has allowed examination of key assumptions on which the use of such models to assess error structure are based. The stochastic error structures obtained using the transfer-function and Voigt measurement models were identical, even when non-stationary phenomena caused some of the data to be inconsistent with the Kramers–Kroni...

Because direct measurements of the refractive index of hemoglobin over a large wavelength range are challenging, indirect methods deserve particular attention. Among them, the Kramers-Kronig relations are a powerful tool often used to derive the real part of a refractive index from its imaginary part. However, previous attempts to apply the relations to solutions of human hemoglobin have been s...

Kramers-Krönig (K-K) analysis of harmonic generation optical data is usually greatly limited by the technical inability to measure data over a wide spectral range. Data inversion for real and imaginary part of χ(nω;ω, ..., ω) can be more efficiently performed if the knowledge of one of the two parts of the susceptibility in a finite spectral range is supplemented with a single measurement of th...

We have studied the nonlinear index of refraction of pink ruby between 565 nm and 610 nm using nondegenerate two wave mixing at 77 K and 294 K. Our new results support the model originally proposed by Venkatesan and McCall based on the large cross section of the transition from the Kramers doublets to the charge transfer band. In addition, we show that two-wave mixing can be used for accurate d...
