چکیده

The modified unrestricted effective-medium refractive index is defined as one that yields accurate values of a representative set of far-field scattering characteristics (including the scattering matrix) for an object made of randomly heterogeneous materials. We validate the concept of the modified unrestricted effective-medium refractive index by comparing numerically exact superposition T-matrix results for a spherical host randomly filled with a large number of identical small inclusions and Lorenz-Mie results for a homogeneous spherical counterpart. A remarkable quantitative agreement between the superposition T-matrix and Lorenz-Mie scattering matrices over the entire range of scattering angles demonstrates unequivocally that the modified unrestricted effective-medium refractive index is a sound (albeit still phenomenological) concept provided that the size parameter of the inclusions is sufficiently small and their number is sufficiently large. Furthermore, it appears that in cases when the concept of the modified unrestricted effective-medium refractive index works, its actual value is close to that predicted by the Maxwell-Garnett mixing rule.

Approximation of an additive mapping in various normed spaces

In this paper, using the fixed point and direct methods, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the following Cauchy-Jensen additive functional equation: begin{equation}label{main} fleft(frac{x+y+z}{2}right)+fleft(frac{x-y+z}{2}right)=f(x)+f(z)end{equation} in various normed spaces. The concept of Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability originated from Th. M. Rassias’ stability theorem t...

BEST APPROXIMATION IN QUASI TENSOR PRODUCT SPACE AND DIRECT SUM OF LATTICE NORMED SPACES

We study the theory of best approximation in tensor product and the direct sum of some lattice normed spacesX_{i}. We introduce quasi tensor product space anddiscuss about the relation between tensor product space and thisnew space which we denote it by X boxtimesY. We investigate best approximation in direct sum of lattice normed spaces by elements which are not necessarily downwardor upward a...

برآورد انقباضی در مدل‌های رگرسیونی بیضوی مقید

In the restricted elliptical linear model, an approximation for the risk of a general shrinkage estimator of the regression vector-parameter is given. Superiority condition of the shrinkage estimator over the restricted estimator is investigated under the elliptical assumption. It is evident from numerical results that the shrinkage estimator performs better than the unrestricted one...

Optical properties of a semi-infinite medium consist of graphene based hyperbolic meta-materials with tilted optical axis

In this paper, the  optical properties of a semi-infinite medium composed of graphen-based hyperbolic meta-materials with the optical axis were tilted with respect to its boundary with air, by using the  Maxwell equations; then  the homogeneous effective medium approximation method was  studied. The results showed that the orientation of the structure layers (geometric induced anisotropy) affec...
