Friedel oscillations in quantum degenerate collisional plasma. Screening of point charge
A. V. Latyshev; A. A. Yushkanov
2010 arXiv Open Access
Research of influence of collisions on Friedel oscillations in quantum degenerate collisional plasma (T=0) is carried out for the first time. It is shown that presence of collisions in plasma leads to exponential decreasing of amplitude and phase shift of the Friedel oscillations. In linear approximation the phase shift is equal to the half of quantity inverse to product of Fermi's wave number by free length path of electrons. The correct expression for longitudinal dielectric permeability of the quantum collisional plasma found by the authors (see arxiv:1001.3937 [math-ph] 22 Jan 2010) is used.

Landau Diamagnetism of Degenerate Collisional Plasma
A. V. Latyshev; A. A. Yushkanov
2010 arXiv Open Access
For the first time the kinetic description of Landau diamagnetism for degenerate collisional plasma is given. The correct expression for transverse electric conductivity of the quantum plasma, found by authors (see arXiv:1002.1017 [math-ph] 4 Feb 2010) is used. In work S. Dattagupta, A.M. Jayannavar and N. Kumar [Current science, V. 80, No. 7, 10 April, 2001] was discussed the important problem of dissipation (collisions) influence on Landau diamagnetism. The analysis of this problem is given with the use of exact expression for transverse conductivity of quantum plasma.

A wavelet add-on code for new-generation N-body simulations and data de-noising (JOFILUREN)
Alessandro B. Romeo; Cathy Horellou; Joeran Bergh
2004 arXiv Open Access DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.08303.x
Wavelets are a new and powerful mathematical tool, whose most celebrated applications are data compression and de-noising. In Paper I (Romeo, Horellou & Bergh 2003, astro-ph/0302343), we have shown that wavelets can be used for removing noise efficiently from cosmological, galaxy and plasma N-body simulations. The expected two-orders-of-magnitude higher performance means, in terms of the well-known Moore's law, an advance of more than one decade in the future. In this paper, we describe a wavelet add-on code designed for such an application. Our code can be included in common grid-based N-body codes, is written in Fortran, is portable and available on request from the first author. The code can also be applied for removing noise from standard data, such as signals and images.

Outgoing radiation from an isolated collisionless plasma
Simone Calogero
2003 arXiv Open Access DOI: 10.1007/s00023-004-0165-9
The asymptotic properties at future null infinity of the solutions of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system whose global existence for small data has been established by the author in a previous work are investigated. These solutions describe a collisionless plasma isolated from incoming radiation. It is shown that a non-negative quantity associated to the plasma decreases as a consequence of the dissipation of energy in form of outgoing radiation. This quantity represents the analogue of the Bondi mass in general relativity.

Radiation-Reaction on the Straight-Line Motion of a Point Charge accelerated by a constant applied Electric Field in an Electromagnetic Bopp-LandΓ©-Thomas-Podolsky vacuum
Ryan J. McGuigan; Michael K. -H. Kiessling
2025 arXiv Open Access
The radiation-reaction problem of standard Lorentz electrodynamics with point charges is pathological, standing in contrast to Bopp--LandΓ©--Thomas--Podolsky (BLTP) electrodynamics where it is in fact well-defined and calculable, as reported in a previous publication. To demonstrate the viability of BLTP electrodynamics, we consider the BLTP analogue of the radiation reaction of a classical point charge accelerated from rest by a static homogeneous capacitor plate field, and calculate it up to $O(\varkappa^4)$ in a formal expansion about $\varkappa=0$ in powers of $\varkappa$, Bopp's reciprocal length, a new electrodynamics parameter introduced by BLTP theory. In a paper by Carley and Kiessling (arXiv:2303.01720 [physics.class-ph]) the radiation-reaction corrections to test-particle motion were explicitly computed to $O(\varkappa^3)$, the first non-vanishing order. In this article a crucial question regarding this ``small-$\varkappa$'' expansion, raised by Carley and Kiessling, is answered as follows: The motions computed with terms $O(\varkappa^3)$ included are mathematically accurate approximations to {physically reasonable} solutions of the actual BLTP initial value problem for short times $t$, viz. when $\varkappa c t \ll 1$, where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuo, but their unphysical behavior over {much} longer times does not accurately approximate the actual BLTP solutions even when the dimensionless parameter $\varkappa e^2 / |m_b| c^2 \ll 1$, where $e$ is the elementary charge and $m_b$ the bare rest mass of the electron. This has the important implication that BLTP electrodynamics remains a viable contender for an accurate classical electrodynamics with point charges that does not suffer from the infinite self-interaction problems of textbook Lorentz electrodynamics with point charges.

Yet another approach to the inverse square law and to the circular character of the hodograph of Kepler orbits
Adel Alameh
2021 arXiv Open Access
The law of centripetal force governing the motion of celestial bodies in eccentric conic sections, has been established and thoroughly investigated by Sir Isaac Newton in his Principia Mathematica. Yet its profound implications on the understanding of such motions is still evolving. In a paper to the royal academy of science, Sir Willian Hamilton demonstrated that this law underlies the circular character of hodographs for Kepler orbits. A fact which was the object of ulterior research and exploration by Richard Feynman and many other authors [1]. In effect, a minute examination of the geometry of elliptic trajectories, reveals interesting geometric properties and relations, altogether, combined with the law of conservation of angular momentum lead eventually, and without any recourse to dealing with differential equations, to the appearance of the equation of the trajectory and to the derivation of the equation of its corresponding hodograph. On this respect, and for the sake of founding the approach on solid basis, I devised two mathematical theorems; one concerning the existence of geometric means, and the other is related to establishing the parametric equation of an off-center circle, altogether compounded with other simple arguments ultimately give rise to the inverse square law of force that governs the motion of bodies in elliptic trajectories, as well as to the equation of their inherent circular hodographs.

Numerical analysis of a penalization method for the three-dimensional motion of a rigid body in an incompressible viscous fluid
Claire Bost; Georges-Henri Cottet; Emmanuel Maitre
2009 arXiv Open Access
We present and analyze a penalization method wich extends the the method of [1] to the case of a rigid body moving freely in an incompressible fluid. The fluid-solid system is viewed as a single variable density flow with an interface captured by a level set method. The solid velocity is computed by averaging at avery time the flow velocity in the solid phase. This velocity is used to penalize the flow velocity at the fluid-solid interface and to move the interface. Numerical illustrations are provided to illustrate our convergence result. A discussion of our result in the light of existing existence results is also given. [1] Ph. Angot, C.-H. Bruneau and P.

Can the tidal quality factors of terrestrial planets and moons scale as positive powers of the tidal frequency?
Michael Efroimsky
2007 arXiv Open Access
In geophysics and seismology, it is a common knowledge that the quality factors Q of the mantle and crust materials scale as the tidal frequency to a positive fractional power (Karato 2007, Efroimsky and Lainey 2007). In astronomy, there exists an equally common belief that such rheological models introduce discontinuities into the equations and thus are unrealistic at low frequencies. We demonstrate that, while such models indeed make the conventional expressions for the tidal torque diverge for vanishing frequencies, the emerging infinities reveal not the impossible nature of one or another rheology, but a subtle flaw in the underlying mathematical model of friction. Flawed is the common misassumption that the tidal force and torque are inversely proportional to the quality factor. In reality, they are proportional to the sine of the tidal phase lag, while the inverse quality factor is commonly identified with the tangent of the lag. The sine and tangent of the lag are close everywhere {\it{except in the vicinity of the zero frequency}}. Reinstating of this detail tames the fake infinities and rehabilitates the "impossible" scaling law (which happens to be the actual law the mantles obey). This preprint is a pilot paper. A more comprehensive treatise on tidal torques is to be published (Efroimsky and Williams 2009).

Universal Scaling in Saddle-Node Bifurcation Cascades (II) Intermittency Cascade
Jes\us San-Mart\Δ±n
2005 arXiv Open Access
The presence of saddle-node bifurcation cascade in the logistic equation is associated with an intermittency cascade; in a similar way as a saddle-node bifurcation is associated with an intermittency. We merge the concepts of bifurcation cascade and intermittency. The mathematical tools necessary for this process will describe the structure of the Myrberg-Feigenbaum point.
