On Stability of Switched Linear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Reflecting Boundaries
0 comments Posted by Dagwood EngelbergAmin, Saurabh; Hante, Falk M.; and Bayen, Alexandre M.
Abstract
We consider stability of an infinite dimensional switching system, posed as a system of linear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with reflecting boundaries, where the system parameters and the boundary conditions switch in time. Asymptotic stability of the solution for arbitrary switching is proved under commutativity of the advective velocity matrices and a joint spectral radius condition involving the boundary data.

Abstract
The frequency dependence of the longitudinal differential mobility of hot electrons is calculated using velocity averaging over the before- and after- scattering ensembles by the single-particle Monte Carlo simulation of the steady state. A dynamic negative differential mobility (NOM), due to the transit-time resonance of hot electrons in the momentum space under the predominant role of spontaneous emission of optical phonons at low lattice temperature, is observed in n-lnP. The frequency- and field-behaviour of the NOM and the noise characteristics, as well as the possibilities to use the effect for amplification and generation of the millimetre-wave radiation, are investigated. The techniques for the experimental investigation of the transit-time resonance are discussed. The noise temperature measurements are shown to be the most suitable tool for this. The transit-time resonance characteristics in n-lnP are compared with the experimentally realized and theoretically calculated parameters of the cyclotron resonance NEMAG in p-Ge. The conditions for the generation and amdification are found to be better in the former case than in the latter one.
Mutual Decentralized Synchronization for Intervehicle Communications
0 comments Posted by Dagwood EngelbergSourour, Essam and Nakagawa, Masao
Abstract
Data exchange among vehicles can improve road safety and capacity. Most of the proposed intervehicle data communication systems require intervehicle synchronization. Synchronization must be done in a decentralized manner. In this paper, we propose a new mutual decentralized synchronization system. Using a devoted carrier frequency, each vehicle transmits a continuous periodic train of pulses. The aim of the synchronization system is to make these periodic pulses synchronous to indicate the start of data slots in slotted ALOHA types of media access protocol. Each vehicle measures the power of pulses of other vehicles as well as the time difference between other pulses and its own pulse. Using this information, each vehicle shifts its own pulse transmission time toward a weighted average of other pulse transmission times. Eventually, all periodic pulse trains are synchronized. The system performance is evaluated in nonfading and fading channels.

Abstract
It is argued that immense physical resources - for nonlocal communication, espionage, and exponentially-fast computation - are hidden from us by quantum noise, and that this noise is not fundamental but merely a property of an equilibrium state in which the universe happens to be at the present time. It is suggested that 'non-quantum' or nonequilibrium matter might exist today in the form of relic particles from the early universe. We describe how such matter could be detected and put to practical use. Nonequilibrium matter could be used to send instantaneous signals, to violate the uncertainty principle, to distinguish non-orthogonal quantum states without disturbing them, to eavesdrop on quantum key distribution, and to outpace quantum computation (solving NP-complete problems in polynomial time).

Two-Dimensional Navier–Stokes Equations Driven by a Space–Time White Noise

Abstract
We study the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions perturbed by a space–time white noise. It is shown that, although the solution is not expected to be smooth, the nonlinear term can be defined without changing the equation. We first construct a stationary martingale solution. Then, we prove that, for almost every initial data with respect to a measure supported by negative spaces, there exists a unique global solution in the strong probabilistic sense.

Abstract
A non-local continuum model for strain-softening simply taking plastic strain or damage variable as a non-local variable is derived by using the additive decomposition principle of finite deformation gradient. At the same time, variational equations, their finite element formulations and numerical convoluted integration algorithm of the model in current configuration usually called co-moving coordinate system are given. Stability and convergence of the model are proven by means of the weak convergence theorem of general function and the convoluted integration theory. Mathematical and physical properties of the characteristic size for material or structure are accounted for within the context of a statistical weighted or kernel function, and way is investigated. Numerical simulation shows that this model is suitable for to analyzing deformation localization problems.
