Droplets on insulating material suffer a nonvanishing total ponderomotive force because of the inhomogeneity of the surrounding electric field. A series expansion of this total force is proven in a two-dimensional setting by determining the line charge density at the boundary of the test body via a Fredholm integral equation, which is solved by Fourier techniques. The influence of electric char...

We derive an effective Lagrangian for meson fields. This is done in the light-cone gauge for two-dimensional large-Nc QCD by using the bilocal auxiliary field method. The auxiliary fields are bilocal on light-cone space and their Fourier transformation determines the parton momentum distribution. As the first test of our method, the ’t Hooft equation is derived from the effective Lagrangian. E-...

The scattering of SH-waves by a Griffith crack in an infinitely long elastic strip situated at an asymmetric position has been analyzed. Applying Fourier transform, the mixed boundary value problem has been reduced to the solution of dual integral equations which finally has been reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of second kind. The numerical values of stress intensity fac...

We consider an inverse heat conduction problem, the Sideways Heat Equation, which is a model of a problem, where one wants to determine the temperature on both sides of a thick wall, but where one side is inaccessible to measurements. Mathematically it is formulated as a Cauchy problem for the heat equation in a quarter plane, with data given along the line x = 1, where the solution is wanted f...

as the equation for the spaces of generalized functions. Making use of the fundamental solution of the heat equation we solve the general solutions and the stability problems of this equation in the spaces of tempered distributions and Fourier hyperfunctions. Moreover, using the regularizing functions, we extend these results to the space of distributions. 2000 MSC: 39B82; 46F05.

An analytical method of integrating ordinary differential equations with non-constant coefficients arising from an elastic membrane concept for inverse shape design is presented utilizing Fourier series formulation. The non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation with non-constant coefficients mimics forced oscillations of a system of mass-damper-spring elements linked in parallel where coef...

We study the scattering theory for the coupled Maxwell-Schrödinger equation under the Coulomb gauge condition in three space dimensions. This equation belongs to the borderline between the short range case and the long range one. We construct modified wave operators for that equation for small scattered states with no restriction on the support of the Fourier transform of them.

We construct generalized grand-canonicaland canonical Gibbs measures for a Hamiltonian system described in terms of a complex scalar field that is defined on a circle and satisfies a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a focusing nonlinearity of order p < 6. Key properties of these Gibbs measures, in particular absence of “phase transitions” and regularity properties of field samples, are estab...
