Ultimately, the phenomenon of percolation is concerned with connectedness. P.G. deGennes, winner of the 1991 Prize in Physics for his profound work on the theoretical physics ...

The Hiller-Sucher-Feinberg (HSF) identity for matrix elements of Dirac's delta-function is used to obtain an alternative equation for the electron density. Asymptotics of the ...

In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of I = 1/2 nuclei that are scalar coupled to quadrupolar spins, a tensor operator product (TOP) basis set provides a convenient ...

In this paper, we give an algorithm to show how to construct y as a formal power series in x in a given equation f(x,y) = 0, where f is in C[x,y]. Since we can always ...

In the previous issue of this journal, we saw how the heat equation in one dimension found a noteworthy application in economics, therein providing a bridge from the physical ...

A four lecture undergraduate engineering course on variational methods and stress analysis. Lecture 1: Fundamentals of elasticity: strain energy density, generalised Hooke's ...

This paper presents a theory of noncommutative functions which results in an algorithm for determining where they are "matrix convex". Of independent interest is a theory of ...

In this work the optical transmission spectra of silicon oxide (SiO2), silicon nitrides (Si3N4), silicon-rich oxynitrides (SiOxNy), and antireflective coatings (ARCs), ...

This is a tool for looking for cocyclic Hadamard matrices over a finite group G for which a homological model hG is known, as described by V.Alvarez, J.A.Armario, M.D.Frau ...

Abstract The "No Free Lunch Theorem" in global optimization (see wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_in_search_and_optimization) states that roughly the same number of function ...
