We compare observed Pioneer Venus orbiter (PVO) gravity profiles over Aphrodite Terra to profiles predicted from models of thermal isostasy, mantle convection, and Airy compensation. Similar approaches are used in order to investigate how well the models can be distinguished with the PVO data. Topography profiles across Aphrodite are compared to model spreading ridge profiles in order to furthe...

We examine selective reflection (SR) spectrum of an Airy beam at an interface between a dielectric and a homogeneous atomic medium. It is shown that both the general reflection (GR) and the SR of Airy beams exhibit accelerating dynamics with a parabolic trajectory, however, the accelerating rate for the SR is slightly greater than that for the GR. Due to interaction of atoms and the Airy beams ...

We analyse theoretically the spatiotemporal dynamics of two incoherent counterpropagating Airy beams interacting in a photorefractive crystal under focusing conditions. For a large enough nonlinearity strength the interaction between the two Airy beams leads to light-induced waveguiding. The stability of the waveguide is determined by the crystal length, the nonlinearity strength and the beam's...

a general notion of completely monotone functionals on an ordered banach algebra b into a proper h*-algebra a with an integral representation for such functionals is given. as an application of this result we have obtained a characterization for the generalized completely continuous monotone functions on weighted foundation semigroups. a generalized version of bochner’s theorem on foundation se...

in this paper, we characterize multiresolution analysis(mra) parseval frame multiwavelets in l^2(r^d) with matrix dilations of the form (d f )(x) = sqrt{2}f (ax), where a is an arbitrary expanding dtimes d matrix with integer coefficients, such that |deta| =2. we study a class of generalized low pass matrix filters that allow us to define (and construct) the subclass of mra tight frame multiwav...

We demonstrate experimentally the generation and near-field imaging of nondiffracting surface waves, plasmonic Airy beams, propagating on the surface of a gold metal film. The Airy plasmons are excited by an engineered nanoscale phase grating, and demonstrate significant beam bending over their propagation. We show that the observed Airy plasmons exhibit self-healing properties, suggesting nove...

In this paper, the Elzaki transform method is used for solving two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problems in plane polar coordinates. Airy stress function was used to express the stress compatibility equation as a biharmonic equation. Elzaki transform was applied with respect to the radial coordinate to a modified form of the stress compatibility equation, and the biharmonic equation simplified t...
