The formalism of Greensite for treating the spacetime signature as a dynamical degree of freedom induced by quantum fields is considered, for spacetimes with nontrivial topology of the kind R ×T1, for varying D. It is shown that a dynamical origin for the Lorentzian signature is possible in the five-dimensional space R × T with small torus radius (periodic boundary conditions), as well as in fo...

The existence and Hausdorff dimension of the global attractor for discretization of a damped wave equation with the periodic nonlinearity under the periodic boundary conditions are studied for any space dimension. The obtained Hausdorff dimension is independent of the mesh sizes and the space dimension and remains small for large damping, which conforms to the physics.

The integrability of the one-dimensional long range supersymmetric t-J model has previously been established for both open systems and those closed by periodic boundary conditions through explicit construction of its integrals of motion. Recently the system has been extended to include the effect of magnetic flux, which gives rise to a closed chain with twisted boundary conditions. While the t-...

In this article, Adomian decomposition method is successfully applied to find an approximate analytical solution of a Stefan problem subject to periodic boundary condition. By using initial and boundary conditions, the explicit solutions of the temperature distribution and the position of moving interface are evaluated and numerical results are depicted graphically. The method performs extremel...

Asymptotics and functional form of correlators in the XX-spin chain of finite length. Abstract We verify the functional form of the asymptotics of the spin-spin equal-time correlation function for the XX-chain, predicted by the hypothesis of conformal invariance at large distances and by the bosonization procedure. We point out that bosonization pocedure also predicts the functional form of the...

In 1957 Abrikosov published his work on periodic solutions to the linearized Ginzburg-Landau equations. Abrikosov’s analysis assumes periodic boundary conditions, which are very different from the natural boundary conditions the minimizer of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional should satisfy. In the present work we prove that the global minimizer of the fully non-linear functional can be appr...

The shape-dependent universality of the excess percolation cluster number and cross-configuration probability on a torus is discussed. Besides the aspect ratio of the torus, the universality class depends upon the twist in the periodic boundary conditions, which for example are generally introduced when triangular lattices are used in simulations.

Many multiscale methods are based on the idea of extracting macroscopic behavior of solutions by solving an array of microscale models over small domains. A key ingredient in such multiscale methods is the boundary condition and the size of the computational domain over which the microscale problems are solved. This problem is systematically investigated in the present paper in the context of m...

Consider the d-dimensional euclidean space E d. Two main results are presented: First, for any N 2 N, the number of types of periodic equivariant tilings (T ; ?) that have precisely N orbits of (2; 4; 6 : : :)-ags with respect to the symmetry group ?, is nite. Second, for any N 2 N, the number of types of convex, periodic equivariant tilings (T ; ?) that have precisely N orbits of tiles with re...

Weidong Min Abstract. This paper presents an algorithm based on shrunken polyhedron and mapping to mesh a convex polyhedron using mixed elements, with mostly hexahedra, but including some tetrahedra, pyramids, and wedges. It is part of a scheme for automatically meshing an arbitrary 3D geometry. The scheme rst decomposes a 3D geometry into a set of convex polyhedra. Then the boundary quadrilate...
