Multiple solutions and fermion mass effect in QED_3

Due to the negligible non-perturbation effect in the low-energy region, quantum chromodynamics （QCD） is limited to be applied to hadron problems in particle physics. However, QED has mature non-perturbation models which can be applied to Fermi acting-energy between quark and gluon. This paper applies quantum electrodynamics in 2 ＋ 1 dimensions （QED3） to the Fermi condensation problems. First, the Dyson-Schwinger equation which the fermions satisfy is constructed, and then the Fermi energy gap is solved. Theoretical calculations show that within the chirality limit, there exist three solutions for the energy gap; beyond the chirality limit, there are two solutions; all these solutions correspond to different fermion condensates. It can be concluded that the fermion condensates within the chirality limit can be used to analyze the existence of antiferromagnetic, pseudogap, and superconducting phases, and two fermion condensates are discovered beyond the chirality limit.

Application of cusp catastrophe theory to reliability analysis of slopes in open-pit mines

A method of slope reliability analysis was developed by imposing a state equation on the limit equilibrium theory, given the basis of a fixed safety factor technique. Among the many problems of reliability analysis, the most important problem is to find a performance function. We have created a new method of building a limit state equation for planar slip surfaces by applying the mathematical cusp catastrophe theory. This new technique overcomes the defects in the traditional rigid limit equilibrium theory and offers a new way for studying the reliability problem of planar slip surfaces. Consequently, we applied the technique to a case of an open-pit mine and compared our results with that of the traditional approach. From the results we conclude that both methods are essentially consistent, but the reliability index calculated by the traditional model is lower than that from the catastrophic model. The catastrophe model takes into consideration two possible situations of a slope being in the limit equilibrium condition, i.e., it may or may not slip. In the traditional method, however, a slope is definitely considered as slipping when it meets the condition of a limit equilibrium. We conclude that the catastrophe model has more actual and instructive importance compared to the traditional model.

Non-relativistic Limit of Dirac Equations in Gravitational Field and Quantum Effects of Gravity

Based on unified theory of electromagnetic interactions and gravitational interactions, the non-relativistic limit of the equation of motion of a charged Dirac particle in gravitational field is studied. From the Schroedinger equation obtained from this non-relativistic limit, we can see that the classical Newtonian gravitational potential appears as a part of the potential in the Schroedinger equation, which can explain the gravitational phase effects found in COW experiments. And because of this Newtonian gravitational potential, a quantum particle in the earth＇s gravitational field may form a gravitationally bound quantized state, which has already been detected in experiments. Three different kinds of phase effects related to gravitational interactions are studied in this paper, and these phase effects should be observable in some astrophysical processes. Besides, there exists direct coupling between gravitomagnetic field and quantum spin, and radiation caused by this coupling can be used to directly determine the gravitomagnetic field on the surface of a star.

The equation of motion of a viscoelastic rod of density rod p is considered when the Constitutive Relationships contains fractional derivatives （in the Riemann-Liouville sense） of order β, 0 ≤ β ≤ 1. The solution of this equation is given in a general case. It is shown that for the limit values of the derivative index ,β, i.e. when β = 0 or β = 1, the general solution gives rise to classical solutions of hyperbolic and parabolic equations.

In this paper we will see that, under certain conditions, the techniques of generalized moment problem will apply to numerically solve an Volterra integral equation of first kind or second kind. Volterra integral equation is transformed into a one-dimensional generalized moment problem, and shall apply the moment problem techniques to find a numerical approximation of the solution. Specifically you will see that solving the Volterra integral equation of first kind f（t） = {a^t K（t, s）x（s）ds a ≤ t ≤ b or solve the Volterra integral equation of the second kind x（t） =f（t）＋{a^t K（t,s）x（s）ds a ≤ t ≤ b is equivalent to solving a generalized moment problem of the form un = {a^b gn（s）x（s）ds n = 0,1,2… This shall apply for to find the solution of an integrodifferential equation of the form x＇（t） = f（t） ＋ {a^t K（t,s）x（s）ds for a ≤ t ≤ b and x（a） = a0 Also considering the nonlinear integral equation： f（x）= {fa^x y（x-t）y（t）dt This integral equation is transformed a two-dimensional generalized moment problem. In all cases, we will find an approximated solution and bounds for the error of the estimated solution using the techniques ofgeneralized moment problem.

Slope stability analysis of Southern slope of Chengmenshan copper mine,China

The engineering geology and hydrogeology in the southern slope of Chengmenshan copper mine are very complicated,because there is a soft-weak layer between two kinds of sandstones.Field investigations demonstrate that some instability problems might occur in the slope.In this research,the southern slope,which is divided into six sections(I-0,I-1,I-2,II-0,II-1 and II-2),is selected for slope stability analysis using limit equilibrium and numerical method.Stability results show that the values of factor of safety(FOS) of sections I-0,I-1 and I-2 are very low and slope failure is likely to happen.Therefore reinforcement subjected to seismic,water and weak layer according to sections were carried out to increase the factor of safety of the three sections,two methods were used;grouting with hydration of cement and water to increase the cohesion(c) and pre-stressed anchor.Results of reinforcement showed that factor of safety increased more than 1.15.

The authors study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the heat equation and a number of evolution equations using scaling techniques. It is proved that in the framework of bounded data stabilization need not occur and the general asymptotic behaviour is complex. This behaviour reflects for large times, even on compact sets, the complexity of the initial data at infinity.

Mean field limit of a dynamical model of polymer systems

This paper provides a mathematically rigorous foundation for self-consistent mean field theory of the polymeric physics. We study a new model for dynamics of mono-polymer systems. Every polymer is regarded as a string of points which are moving randomly as Brownian motions and under elastic forces. Every two points on the same string or on two different strings also interact under a pairwise potential V. The dynamics of the system is described by a system of N coupled stochastic partial differential equations （SPDEs）. We show that the mean field limit as N -＋ c~ of the system is a self-consistent McKean-Vlasov type equation, under suitable assumptions on the initial and boundary conditions and regularity of V. We also prove that both the SPDE system of the polymers and the mean field limit equation are well-posed.

Furthermore, we also obtain the rates of the convergence.
