1999-02-01 | Numerical Study of Inhomogeneous Pre-Big-Bang Inflationary Cosmology | We study numerically the inhomogeneous pre-big-bang inflation in a
spherically symmetric space-time. We find that a large initial inhomogeneity
suppresses the onset of the pre-big-bang inflation. We also find that even if
the pre-big-bang inflationary stage is realized, the initial inhomogeneities
are not homogenized. ... | 9902003v1 |

1999-09-30 | Does a dynamical system lose energy by emitting gravitational waves? | We note that Eddington's radiation damping calculation of a spinning rod
fails to account for the complete mass integral as given by Tolman. The missing
stress contributions precisely cancel the standard rate given by the
'quadrupole formula'. This indicates that while the usual 'kinetic' term can
properly account for ... | 9909095v1 |

2001-06-06 | Black Hole Decay Rates in Large Extra Dimensions | We study the evaporation of black holes in space-times with extra dimensions
of size L. We show that the luminosity is greatly damped when the horizon

2001-11-29 | Decoherence and gravitational backgrounds | We study the decoherence process associated with the scattering of stochastic

the analytic determination of the highly damped (asymptotic) quasi-normal modes
of small Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) black holes. We comment the result as
compared to the recent numerical data of Konoplya and Zhidenko. | 0309090v2 |

modes(QNM's) of Rarita-Schwinger perturbations outside a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m
black hole. We obtain four kinds of possible expressions of effective
potentials, which are proved to be of the same spectra of quasinormal mode
frequencies. The quasinormal ... | 0505161v1 |

chambers. A specially designed circuit plucks the wire using the Lorentz force

$\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-$ with the unitary model \cite{KS-86} for
helicity 2 amplitude. In contrast to previous analysis \cite{CELLO} we do not

1994-06-10 | QCD Transport Theory | Because of the long range of the gauge interactions, the collective behaviour
of quarks and gluons plays a decisive role in the transport processes.

finite relaxation rates... | 9406277v1 |
1994-08-08 | Gluon Decay as a Mechanism for Strangeness Production in a Quark-Gluon Plasma | A calculation of thermal gluon decay shows that this process contributes
significantly to strangeness production in a quark-gluon plasma. Our analysis

2003-06-01 | Asymptotic Quasinormal Frequencies of d-dimensional Schwarzschild Black Holes | We determine the quasinormal frequencies for all gravitational perturbations
of the d-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, in the infinite damping limit.
Using the potentials for gravitational perturbations derived recently by
Ishibashi and Kodama, we show that in all cases the asymptotic real part of the
frequency is... | 0306004v2 |
2005-02-15 | Linear Cosmological Perturbations in D-brane Gases | We consider linear cosmological perturbations on the background of a D-brane
gas in which the compact dimensions and the dilaton are stabilized. We focus on
long wavelength fluctuations and find that there are no instabilities. In
particular, the perturbation of the internal space performs damped oscillations
and decay... | 0502133v2 |
2006-10-09 | Links. Relating different physical systems through the common QFT algebraic structure | In this report I review some aspects of the algebraic structure of QFT
related with the doubling of the degrees of freedom of the system under study.
I show how such a doubling is related to the characterizing feature of QFT
consisting in the existence of infinitely many unitarily inequivalent
representations of the ca... | 0610094v1 |
2006-11-21 | Gravitational spectrum of black holes in the Einstein-Aether theory | Evolution of gravitational perturbations, both in time and frequency domains,
is considered for a spherically symmetric black hole in the non-reduced
Einstein-Aether theory. It is shown that real oscillation frequency and damping
rate are larger for the Einstein-Aether black hole than for the Schwarzschild
black hole. ... | 0611226v2 |
1996-11-27 | Symmetry breaking perturbations and strange attractors | The asymmetrically forced, damped Duffing oscillator is introduced as a
prototype model for analyzing the homoclinic tangle of symmetric dissipative
systems with \textit{symmetry breaking} disturbances. Even a slight fixed
asymmetry in the perturbation may cause a substantial change in the asymptotic
behavior of the sy... | 9611217v1 |
2000-04-10 | Penalty approximation for non smooth constraints in vibroimpact | We examine the penalty approximation of the free motion of a material point
in an angular domain; we choose an over-damped penalty, and we prove that if
the first impact point is not at the vertex, then, the limit of the
approximation exists and is described by Moreau's rule for anelastic impacts.
The proofs rely on ... | 0004054v1 |
2004-12-22 | Adaptation and nonlinear parametrization: nonlinear dynamics prospective | We consider adaptive control problem in presence of nonlinear parametrization
of uncertainties in the model. It is shown that despite traditional approaches
require for domination in the control loop during adaptation, it is not often
necessary to use such energy inefficient compensators it in wide range of
application... | 0412444v1 |
2006-05-31 | Subgeometric rates of convergence of f-ergodic strong Markov processes | We provide a condition for f-ergodicity of strong Markov processes at a
subgeometric rate. This condition is couched in terms of a supermartingale
property for a functional of the Markov process. Equivalent formulations in
terms of a drift inequality on the extended generator and on the resolvent
kernel are given. Resu... | 0605791v1 |
2007-02-13 | Integral Equations in the Theory of Levy Processes | In this article we consider the Levy processes and the corresponding
semigroup. We represent the generator of this semigroup in a convolution form.
Using the obtained convolution form and the theory of integral equations we
investigate the properties of a wide class of Levy processes (potential,
quasi-potential, the pr... | 0702378v1 |
2000-01-03 | Slow Motion of Charges Interacting Through the Maxwell Field | We study the Abraham model for $N$ charges interacting with the Maxwell
field. On the scale of the charge diameter, $R_{\phi}$, the charges are a
distance $\eps^{-1}R_{\phi}$ apart and have a velocity $\sqrt{\eps} c$ with
$\eps$ a small dimensionless parameter. We follow the motion of the charges
over times of the orde... | 0001002v1 |
2001-02-07 | Post-Coulombian Dynamics at Order 1.5 | We study the dynamics of N charges interacting with the Maxwell field. If
their initial velocities are small compared to the velocity of light, c, then
in lowest order their motion is governed by the static Coulomb Lagrangian. We
investigate higher order corrections with an explicit control on the error
terms. The Darw... | 0102004v1 |
2000-02-23 | Dynamics of Kinks in One- and Two- Dimensional Hyperbolic Models with Quasi-Discrete Nonlinearities | We study the evolution of fronts in the Klein-Gordon equation when the
nonlinear term is non-homogeneous. Extending previous works on homogeneous
nonlinear terms, we describe the derivation of an equation governing the front
motion, which is strongly nonlinear, and, for the two-dimensional case,
generalizes the damped ... | 0002043v1 |
2000-04-20 | Spontaneous pattern formation in driven nonlinear lattice | We demonstrate the spontaneous formation of spatial patterns in
a damped, ac-driven cubic Klein-Gordon
lattice. These
patterns are composed of arrays of intrinsic localized modes
characteristic for nonlinear lattices. We analyze the modulation
instability leading to this spontaneous pattern formation. Our

2000-08-18 | Correlations and fluctuations of matrix elements and cross sections | The fluctuations and correlations of matrix elements of cross sections are
investigated in open systems that are chaotic in the classical limit. The form
of the correlation functions is discussed within a statistical analysis and
tested in calculations for a damped quantum kicked rotator. We briefly comment
on the modi... | 0008023v1 |
2001-04-26 | Statistical Theory for Incoherent Light Propagation in Nonlinear Media | A novel statistical approach based on the Wigner transform is proposed for
the description of partially incoherent optical wave dynamics in nonlinear
media. An evolution equation for the Wigner transform is derived from a
nonlinear Schrodinger equation with arbitrary nonlinearity. It is shown that
random phase fluctuat... | 0104063v2 |
2001-06-13 | Power fluctuations in a driven damped chaotic pendulum | In this paper we investigate the power fluctuations in a driven, dampted
pendulum. When the motion of the pendulum is chaotic, the average power
supplied by the driving force is equal to the average dissipated power only for
an infinite long time period. We measure the fluctuations of the supplied power
during a time e... | 0106016v1 |
2001-07-06 | Soliton ratchets | The mechanism underlying the soliton ratchet, both in absence and in presence
of noise, is investigated. We show the existence of an asymmetric internal mode
on the soliton profile which couples, trough the damping in the system, to the
soliton translational mode. Effective soliton transport is achieved when the
intern... | 0107011v1 |
2001-07-18 | Effects of Transport Memory and Nonlinear Damping in a Generalized Fisher's Equation | Memory effects in transport require, for their incorporation into reaction
diffusion investigations, a generalization of traditional equations. The
well-known Fisher's equation, which combines diffusion with a logistic
nonlinearity, is generalized to include memory effects and traveling wave
solutions of the equation a... | 0107043v1 |
2002-03-05 | Broken symmetries and pattern formation in two-frequency forced Faraday waves | We exploit the presence of approximate (broken) symmetries to obtain general
scaling laws governing the process of pattern formation in weakly damped
Faraday waves. Specifically, we consider a two-frequency forcing function and
trace the effects of time translation, time reversal and Hamiltonian structure
for three ill... | 0203004v1 |
2002-03-09 | One-fluid description of turbulently flowing suspension | We suggested a one-fluid model of a turbulent dilute suspension which
accounts for the ``two-way'' fluid-particle interactions by $k$-dependent
effective density of suspension and additional damping term in the
Navier-Stokes equation. We presented analytical description of the particle
modification of turbulence includ... | 0203016v1 |
2002-04-11 | Lorenz deterministic diffusion | The Lorenz 1963 dynamical system is known to reduce in the steady state to a
one-dimensional motion of a classical particle subjected to viscous damping in
a past history-dependent potential field. If the potential field is substituted
by a periodic function of the position, the resulting system shows a rich
dynamics w... | 0204020v1 |
2002-12-30 | Parametrically Driven Dark Solitons | We show that unlike the bright solitons, the parametrically driven kinks are
immune from instabilities for all dampings and forcing amplitudes; they can
also form stable bound states. In the undamped case, the two types of stable
kinks and their complexes can travel with nonzero velocities. | 0212052v1 |
2003-03-31 | Anholonomy and Geometrical Localization in Dynamical Systems | We characterize the geometrical and topological aspects of a dynamical system
by associating a geometric phase with a phase space trajectory. Using the
example of a nonlinear driven damped oscillator, we show that this phase is
resilient to fluctuations, responds to all bifurcations in the system, and also
finds new ge... | 0303071v1 |
2003-08-05 | Variational method for finding periodic orbits in a general flow | A variational principle for determining unstable periodic orbits of flows as
well as unstable spatio-temporally periodic solutions of extended systems is
proposed and implemented. An initial loop approximating a periodic solution is
evolved in the space of loops toward a true periodic solution by a minimization
of loca... | 0308008v1 |
2003-09-08 | Gibbs attractor: a chaotic nearly Hamiltonian system, driven by external harmonic force | A chaotic autonomous Hamiltonian systems, perturbed by small damping and
small external force, harmonically dependent on time, can acquire a strange
attractor with properties similar to that of the canonical distribution - the
Gibbs attractor. The evolution of the energy in such systems can be described
as the energy d... | 0309026v1 |
