Duality between Bessel Functions and Chebyshev Polynomials in Expansions of Functions

In expansions of arbitrary functions in Bessel functions or Spherical Bessel functions, a dual partner set of polynomials play a role. For the Bessel functions, these are the Chebyshev polynomials of first kind and for the Spherical Bessel functions the Legendre polynomials. These two sets of functions appear in many formulas of the expansion and in the completeness and (bi)-orthogonality relations. The analogy to expansions of functions in Taylor series and in moment series and to expansions in Hermite functions is elaborated. Besides other special expansion, we find the expansion of Bessel functions in Spherical Bessel functions and their inversion and of Chebyshev polynomials of first kind in Legendre polynomials and their inversion. For the operators which generate the Spherical Bessel functions from a basic Spherical Bessel function, the normally ordered (or disentangled) form is found.

A useful electroencephalography(EEG) marker of brain plasticity: delta waves

Plasticity is a natural property of living organisms that is crucial for adaptation and evolution.Over the last decades,the availability of sophisticated neuroimaging techniques（in particular,functional magnetic resonance imaging（f MRI）,and transcranial magnetic stimulation（TMS））,has made it possible to explore in vivo the on-line functioning of brain and its plasticity.However,

Delta-Davidson method for interior eigenproblem in many-spin systems

Many numerical methods,such as tensor network approaches including density matrix renormalization group calculations,have been developed to calculate the extreme/ground states of quantum many-body systems.However,little attention has been paid to the central states,which are exponentially close to each other in terms of system size.We propose a delta-Davidson(DELDAV)method to efficiently find such interior(including the central)states in many-spin systems.The DELDAV method utilizes a delta filter in Chebyshev polynomial expansion combined with subspace diagonalization to overcome the nearly degenerate problem.Numerical experiments on Ising spin chain and spin glass shards show the correctness,efficiency,and robustness of the proposed method in finding the interior states as well as the ground states.The sought interior states may be employed to identify many-body localization phase,quantum chaos,and extremely long-time dynamical structure.

A Particle Interacting with V-shaped Potential Decorated by a Dirac Delta Function Interaction at Center

The Schrodinger equation for a particle in the V-shaped potential decorated by a repulsive or attractive Dirac delta function interaction at the center is solved, demonstrating the crucial influence of point interaction on the even-parity states of the original system without decoration. As strength of the attraction increases, the ground state energy falls down without limit; and in limit of infinitely large attraction, the ground state approaches a singular state. Our analysis and conclusion can be readily generalized to any one-dimensional system a particle interacts with symmetrical potential plus the Dirac delta function interaction at the center.

On the Laplace transform of delta function

Delta function is an important function in mathematics and physics. In this paper, the Laplace transforms of δ(t)and δ(t-τ)have been discussed in detail. After the Laplace transform of δ(t)is analyzed, the author has found that three aspects should be taken into account, i.e. τ→0+, τ→0- andτ=0; and it is the same with the Laplace transform of δ(t-τ). Then the results of the Laplace transform of Delta function have been obtained in a rigorous and comprehensive sense.

Boundary Conditions for Sturm-Liouville Equation with Transition Regions and Barriers or Wells

By means of expansions of rapidly in infinity decreasing functions in delta functions and their derivatives, we derive generalized boundary conditions of the Sturm-Liouville equation for transitions and barriers or wells between two asymptotic potentials for which the solutions are supposed as known. We call such expansions “moment series” because the coefficients are determined by moments of the function. An infinite system of boundary conditions is obtained and it is shown how by truncation it can be reduced to approximations of a different order (explicitly made up to third order). Reflection and refraction problems are considered with such approximations and also discrete bound states possible in nonsymmetric and symmetric potential wells are dealt with. This is applicable for large wavelengths compared with characteristic lengths of potential changes. In Appendices we represent the corresponding foundations of Generalized functions and apply them to barriers and wells and to transition functions. The Sturm-Liouville equation is not only interesting because some important second-order differential equations can be reduced to it but also because it is easier to demonstrates some details of the derivations for this one-dimensional equation than for the full three-dimensional vectorial equations of electrodynamics of media. The article continues a paper that was made long ago.

Spatial Agglomeration of Exhibition Enterprises on a Regional Scale in China

During the past two decades, the exhibition industry in China has been developing rapidly and has become an important part of the modern service industry, particularly the agglomeration characteristics of exhibition enterprises highlighted on the regional scale. Although the development of theoretical research on the western exhibition industry has taken place over time, the spatial perspective has not been at the centre of attention so far. This paper aims to fill this gap and report on the agglomeration characteristics of exhibition enterprises and their influential factors. Based on data about exhibition enterprises in the Pearl River Delta(PRD) during 1991–2013, using the Ripley K function analysis and kernel density estimation, this research identifies that: 1) the exhibition enterprise on the regional scale is significantly characterized by spatial agglomeration, and the agglomeration density and scale are continuously increasing; 2) the spatial pattern of agglomeration has developed from a single-center to multi-center form. Meanwhile, this paper profiles the factors influencing the spatial agglomeration of exhibition enterprises by selecting the panel data of nine cities in the PRD in 1999, 2002, 2006 and 2013. The results show that market capacity, urban informatization level and exhibition venues significantly influence the location choice of exhibition enterprises. Among them, the market capacity is a variable that exerts a far greater impact than other factors do.

Boundary conditions: An effect of average of microscopic Maxwell’s equations

It is well known that the macroscopic Maxwell’s equations can be obtained from the corresponding microscopic or atomic equations by a proper averaging process. The purpose of this paper is to present the macroscopic Maxwell’s equations which are valid in all regions of space, including an interface between two different media; and the boundary conditions can naturally emerge from the macroscopic equations as an effect of average of the microscopic Maxwell’s equations. In addition, the application of the unit step functions and the Dirac delta function to our discussion not only permits great mathematical simplicity but also gives rise to convenient physical concepts for the description and representation of the actual fields in the vicinity of the interface.

A Donsker Delta Functional Approach to Optimal Insider Control and Applications to Finance

We study optimal insider control problems,i.e.,optimal control problems of stochastic systemswhere the controller at any time t,in addition to knowledge about the history of the system up to this time,also has additional information related to a future value of the system.Since this puts the associated controlled systems outside the context of semimartingales,we apply anticipative white noise analysis,including forward integration and Hida-Malliavin calculus to study the problem.Combining this with Donsker delta functionals,we transform the insider control problem into a classical(but parametrised)adapted control system,albeit with a non-classical performance functional.We establish a sufficient and a necessary maximum principle for such systems.Then we apply the results to obtain explicit solutions for some optimal insider portfolio problems in financial markets described by Itô-Lévy processes.Finally,in the Appendix,we give a brief survey of the concepts and results we need from the theory of white noise,forward integrals and Hida-Malliavin calculus.

The distribution of normalized zero-sets of random meromorphic functions

This paper is concerned with the distribution of normalized zero-sets of random meromorphic functions.The normalization of the zero-set plays the same role as the counting function for a meromorphic function in Nevanlinna theory.The results generalize the theory of Shiffman and Zelditch on the distribution of the zeroes of random holomorphic sections of powers of positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundles.As in a very special case,our paper resembles a form of First Main Theorem in classical Nevanlinna Theory.

Discontinuous mechanical behaviors of existing shield tunnel with stiffness reduction at longitudinal joints

An analytical model is proposed to estimate the discontinuous mechanical behavior of an existing shield tunnel above a new tunnel. The existing shield tunnel is regarded as a Timoshenko beam with longitudinal joints. The opening and relative dislocation of the longitudinal joints can be calculated using Dirac delta functions. Compared with other approaches, our method yields results that are consistent with centrifugation test data. The effects of the stiffness reduction at the longitudinal joints (α and β), the shearing stiffness of the Timoshenko beam GA, and different additional pressure profiles on the responses of the shield tunnel are investigated. The results indicate that our proposed method is suitable for simulating the discontinuous mechanical behaviors of existing shield tunnels with longitudinal joints. The deformation and internal forces decrease as α, β, and GA increase. The bending moment and shear force are discontinuous despite slight discontinuities in the deflection, opening, and dislocation. The deflection curve is consistent with the additional pressure profile. Extensive opening, dislocation, and internal forces are induced at the location of mutation pressures. In addition, the joints allow rigid structures to behave flexibly in general, as well as allow flexible structures to exhibit locally rigid characteristics. Owing to the discontinuous characteristics, the internal forces and their abrupt changes at vulnerable sections must be monitored to ensure the structural safety of existing shield tunnels.

Anisotropic edge enhancement in optical scanning holography with spiral phase filtering

Anisotropic edge enhancement is simulated using a spiral phase plate （SPP） in optical scanning holography （OSH）. We propose to use a delta function and an SPP as the pupil functions to realize anisotropic edge enhancement. The interference of these two pupils is used to two-dimensionally scan an object to record its edge-only information. This is done in three ways： first, by shifting the SPP, second, by using two offset SPPs of same charge, and finally, by using two oppositely charged SPPs. Our computer simulations show the capability of selectively enhancing the edges of a given obiect.

Stochastic quantization and ergodic theorem for density of diffusions

For a given probability density function p（x） on R^d, we construct a （non-stationary） diffusion process xt, starting at any point x in R^d, such that 1/T ∫_o^T δ（xt-x）dt converges to p（x） almost surely. The rate of this convergence is also investigated. To find this rate, we mainly use the Clark-Ocone formula from Malliavin calculus and the Girsanov transformation technique.

Let f and g be distributions and let gn = （g ＊ δn）（x）, where δn （x） is a certain converging to the Dirac delta function. The non-commutative neutrix product fog of f and g to be the limit of the sequence {fgn }, provided its limit h exists in the sense that sequence is defined N-lim n-∞（f（x）g,, （x）, φ（x）〉 = （h（x）, φ（x）},for all functions p in 2.
