the dynamic response of a transversely isotropic, linearly elastic layer bonded to the surface of a half-space of a different transversely isotropic material under arbitrary shape surface loads is considered. with the help of displacements and stresses green’s functions, an analytical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements and stresses at any point in both surface l...

Abstract We prove an identity in distribution between two kinds of partition functions for the log-gamma directed polymer model: (1) point-to-point function a quadrant and (2) point-to-line octant. As application, we that free energy octant obeys phase transition depending on strength noise along boundary. This (de)pinning by randomness was first predicted physics Kardar 1985 proved rigorously ...

On the setting of Siegel upper half-space we study spaces bounded and vanishing mean oscillations which are defined in terms Berezin transform, use them to characterize compact Hankel operators on Bergman space. When symbols specialized be holomorphic, its corresponding Bloch space half-space.

The processes of cultural transformation in Britain in the second half of the 20th century, the fall of the Empire, immigration from former colonies and the expansion of the multiculturalism, have influenced new ways of looking at the conceptions of identity of diasporic subjects within Britain. Examining these experiences, diasporic novelists write about the second generation immigrants in con...

Full-duplex (FD) wireless is an attractive communication paradigm with high potential for improving network capacity and reducing delay in wireless networks. Despite significant progress on the physical layer development, the challenges associated with developing medium access control (MAC) protocols for heterogeneous networks composed of both legacy half-duplex (HD) and emerging FD devices hav...

The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...

The structure of the set of compact constant mean curvature surfaces whose boundary is a given Jordan curve in R seems far from being understood. We shall consider a simple, but interesting, situation concerning this problem: Assume that M be an embedded compact H-surface in R+ = {x3 ≥ 0} with ∂M = Γ ⊂ P = {x3 = 0}. Then, there is little known about the geometry and topology of M in terms of Γ....

the asymmetric problem of rocking rotation of a circular rigid disk embedded in a finite depth of a transversely isotropic half-space is analytically addressed. the rigid disk is assumed to be in frictionless contact with the elastic half-space. by virtue of appropriate green's functions, the mixed boundary value problem is written as a dual integral equation. employing further mathematica...
