Dimensional Reduction is applied to QCD in order to compute various renor-malization constants in the DR scheme at higher orders in perturbation theory. In particular, the β function and the anomalous dimension of the quark masses are derived to three-loop order. Special emphasis is put on the proper treatment of the so-called ε-scalars and the additional couplings which have to be considered.

We present a formulation and implementation of MBller-Plesset perturbation theory in a pseudospectral framework. At the second-order level, the pseudospectral formulation is a formally a factor of N/n faster than conventional approaches, while the third order is formally faster by a factor of n, where Nis the number of atomic orbitals and n is the number of occupied orbitals. The accuracy of th...

We present a novel third-order theory W 1 1 of bounded arithmetic suitable for reasoning about PSPACE functions. This theory has the advantages of avoiding the smash function symbol and is otherwise much simpler than previous PSPACE theories. As an example we outline a proof in W 1 1 that from any configuration in the game of Hex, at least one player has a winning strategy. We then exhibit a tr...

The structure formation scenario based on gravitational instability has been studied for a long time. The Lagrangian perturbative method for the cosmological fluid describes the nonlinear evolution of density fluctuation rather well. Zel’dovich [1] proposed a linear Lagrangian approximation for dust fluid. This approximation is called the Zel’dovich approximation (ZA) [1–6]. ZA describes the ev...

We calculate the non-linear matter power spectrum using the 3rd-order perturbation theory without ignoring the pressure gradient term. We consider a semi-realistic system consisting of two matter components with and without pressure, and both are expanded into the 3rd order in perturbations in a self-consistent manner, for the first time. While the pressured component may be identified with bar...

geometrically nonlinear governing equations for a plate with linear viscoelastic material are derived. the material model is of boltzmann superposi¬tion principle type. a third-order displacement field is used to model the shear deformation effects. for the solution of the nonlinear governing equations the dynamic relaxation (dr) iterative method together with the finite difference discretizati...
