  • orthogonality relations for fluid structural waves in a three dimensional rectangular duct with flexible walls
    Proceedings of The Royal Society A: Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2009
    Co-Authors: J B Lawrie
    Abstract:

    An exact expression for the fluid-coupled structural waves that propagate in a three-dimensional, rectangular waveguide with elastic walls is presented in terms of the non-separable Eigenfunctions ψ n ( y , z ). It is proved that these Eigenfunctions are linearly dependent and that an Eigenfunction expansion representation of a suitably smooth function f ( y , z ) converges point-wise to that function. Orthogonality results for the derivatives ψ n y ( a , z ) are derived which, together with a partial orthogonality relation for ψ n ( y , z ), enable the solution of a wide range of acoustic scattering problems. Two prototype problems, of the type typically encountered in two-part scattering problems, are solved, and numerical results showing the displacement of the elastic walls are presented.

  • on Eigenfunction expansions associated with wave propagation along ducts with wave bearing boundaries
    Ima Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2007
    Co-Authors: J B Lawrie
    Abstract:

    A class of boundary value problems, that has application in the propagation of waves along ducts in which the boundaries are wave-bearing, is considered. This class of problems is characterised by the presence of high order derivatives of the dependent variable(s) in the duct boundary conditions. It is demonstrated that the underlying Eigenfunctions are linearly dependent and, most signiflcantly, that an Eigenfunction expansion representation of a suitably smooth function, say f(y), converges point-wise to that function. Two physical examples are presented. It is demonstrated that, in both cases, the Eigenfunction representation of the solution is rendered unique via the application of suitable edge conditions. Within the context of these two examples, a detailed discussion of the issue of completeness is presented.

  • the Eigenfunction expansion method in multi factor quadratic termstructure models
    Social Science Research Network, 2006
    Co-Authors: Nina Boyarchenko, Sergei Levendorskii
    Abstract:

    We propose the Eigenfunction expansion method for pricing options in linear-quadratic terms structure models. The eigenvalues, Eigenfunctions and adjoint functions are calculated using elements of the representation theory of Lie algebras not only in the self-adjoint case but in non-selfadjoint case as well; the Eigenfunctions and adjoint functions are expressed in terms of the Hermite polynomials. We demonstrate that the method is efficient for pricing caps, floors and swaptions, if time to maturity is 1 year or more. We also consider the subordination of the same class of models, and show that in the framework of the Eigenfunction expansion approach, the subordinated models are (almost) as simple as pure Gaussian models. We study the dependence of option prices on the type of non-Gaussian innovations, and suggest parameters' fitting procedures based on the properties of the asymptotic expansions.

  • Decoupling of the leading contribution in the discrete BFKL Analysis of High-Precision HERA Data
    Springer, 2017
    Co-Authors: Kowalski Henri, Lipatov L. N., Ross D. A., Schulz O.
    Abstract:

    We analyse, in NLO, the physical properties of the discrete eigenvalue solution for the BFKL equation. We show that a set of Eigenfunctions with positive eigenvalues, $ \omega $ , together with a small contribution from a continuum of Eigenfunctions with negative $ \omega $ , provide an excellent description of high-precision HERA $F_2$ data in the region, $x 6 $ $\hbox {GeV}^2$ . The phases of the Eigenfunctions can be obtained from a simple parametrisation of the pomeron spectrum, which has a natural motivation within BFKL. The data analysis shows that the first Eigenfunction decouples completely or almost completely from the proton. This suggests that there exists an additional ground state, which is naturally saturated and may have the properties of the soft pomeron

  • Decoupling of the leading contribution in the discrete BFKL Analysis of High-Precision HERA Data
    2017
    Co-Authors: Kowalski H., Lipatov L. N., Ross D. A., Schulz O.
    Abstract:

    We analyse here in NLO the physical properties of the discrete eigenvalue solution for the BFKL equation. We show that a set of positive Eigenfunctions, $\omega$, together with a small contribution from a continuum of negative $\omega$, provide an excellent description of high-precision HERA $F_2$ data in the region, $x < 0.001, Q^{2} > 6 GeV^2$. The phases of the Eigenfunctions can be obtained from a simple parametrisation of the pomeron spectrum, which has a natural motivation within BFKL. The data analysis shows that the first Eigenfunction decouples or nearly decouples from the proton. This suggests that there exist an additional ground state, which has no nodes

  • the number of nodal domains on quantum graphs as a stability index of graph partitions
    Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Rami Band, Gregory Berkolaiko, Hillel Moshe Raz, Uzy Smilansky
    Abstract:

    The Courant theorem provides an upper bound for the number of nodal domains of Eigenfunctions of a wide class of Laplacian-type operators. In particular, it holds for generic Eigenfunctions of a quantum graph. The theorem stipulates that, after ordering the eigenvalues as a non decreasing sequence, the number of nodal domains ν n of the n th Eigenfunction satisfies n ≥ ν n . Here, we provide a new interpretation for the Courant nodal deficiency d n = n − ν n in the case of quantum graphs. It equals the Morse index — at a critical point — of an energy functional on a suitably defined space of graph partitions. Thus, the nodal deficiency assumes a previously unknown and profound meaning — it is the number of unstable directions in the vicinity of the critical point corresponding to the n th Eigenfunction. To demonstrate this connection, the space of graph partitions and the energy functional are defined and the corresponding critical partitions are studied in detail.
