The eigenvalue problem of the Hamiltonian operator associated with plane elasticity problems is investigated.The eigenfunctions of the operator are directly solved with mixed boundary conditions for the displacement and stress in a rectangular region.The completeness of the eigenfunctions is then proved,providing the feasibility of using separation of variables to solve the problems.A general solution is obtained with the symplectic eigenfunction expansion theorem.

The symplectic eigenfunction expansion theorem and its application to the plate bending equation

This paper deals with the bending problem of rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported. It is proved that there exists no normed symplectic orthogonal eigenfunction system for the associated infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian operator H and that the two block operators belonging to Hamiltonian operator H possess two normed symplectic orthogonal eigenfunction systems in some space. It is demonstrated by using the properties of the block operators that the above bending problem can be solved by the symplectic eigenfunction expansion theorem, thereby obtaining analytical solutions of rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges supported in any manner.

Completeness of eigenfunction systems for the product of two symmetric operator matrices and its application in elasticity

The completeness theorem of the eigenfunction systems for the product of two 2 × 2 symmetric operator matrices is proved. The result is applied to 4 × 4 infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian operators. A modified method of separation of variables is proposed for a separable Hamiltonian system. As an application of the theorem, the general solutions for the plate bending equation and the free vibration of rectangular thin plates are obtained. Finally, a numerical test is analysed to show the correctness of the results.

Solving ground eigenvalue and eigenfunction of spheroidal wave equation at low frequency by supersymmetric quantum mechanics method

The spheroidal wave functions are found to have extensive applications in many branches of physics and mathematics. We use the perturbation method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics to obtain the analytic ground eigenvalue and the ground eigenfunction of the angular spheroidal wave equation at low frequency in a series form. Using this approach, the numerical determinations of the ground eigenvalue and the ground eigenfunction for small complex frequencies are also obtained.

Eigenfunction expansion method and its application to two-dimensional elasticity problems based on stress formulation

This paper proposes an eigenfunction expansion method to solve twodimensional （2D） elasticity problems based on stress formulation. By introducing appropriate state functions, the fundamental system of partial differential equations of the above 2D problems is rewritten as an upper triangular differential system. For the associated operator matrix, the existence and the completeness of two normed orthogonal eigenfunction systems in some space are obtained, which belong to the two block operators arising in the operator matrix. Moreover, the general solution to the above 2D problem is given by the eigenfunction expansion method.

Skeletons of 3D Surfaces Based on the Laplace-Beltrami Operator Eigenfunctions

In this work we describe the algorithms to construct the skeletons, simplified 1D representations for a 3D surface depicted by a mesh of points, given the respective eigenfunctions of the Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Operator (LBO). These functions are isometry invariant, so they are independent of the object’s representation including parameterization, spatial position and orientation. Several works have shown that these eigenfunctions provide topological and geometrical information of the surfaces of interest [1] [2]. We propose to make use of that information for the construction of a set of skeletons, associated to each eigenfunction, which can be used as a fingerprint for the surface of interest. The main goal is to develop a classification system based on these skeletons, instead of the surfaces, for the analysis of medical images, for instance.

A NEW METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING PSEUDO ORTHOGONAL PROPERTIES OF EIGENFUNCTION EXPANSION FORM IN FRACTURE MECHANICS

A new and simple method is developed to establish the pseudo orthogonal properties (POP) of the eigenfunction expansion form (EEF) of crack-tip stress complex potential functions for cracked anisotropic and piezoelectric materials, respectively. Di?erent from previous research, the complex argument separation technique is not required so that cumbersome manipulations are avoided. Moreover, it is shown, di?erent from the previous research too, that the orthogonal properties of the material characteristic matrices A and B are no longer necessary in obtaining the POP of EEF in cracked piezoelectric materials. Of the greatest signi?cance is that the method presented in this paper can be widely extended to treat many kinds of problems concerning path- independent integrals with multi-variables.

New tomographic reconstruction technique based on Laplacian eigenfunction

This letter proposes a new tomographic reconstruction procedure based on the Laplacian eigenfunction(LEF) patterns, which are independent of the plasma cross-section and do not require the flux surface information. The process is benchmarked for the experimental data of Heliotron J plasma and the results are compared with the least-squares approximation by a Phillips–Tikhonov(PT)-type regularization, which is widely used as the standard technique for tomographic reconstruction. The reconstruction based on the LEF is found to be capable of determining the magnetic axis at different time locations efficiently in comparison with the PT-type regularization.

Eigenfunction expansion method of upper triangular operator matrixand application to two-dimensional elasticity problems based onstress formulation

This paper studies the eigenfunction expansion method to solve the two dimensional （2D） elasticity problems based on the stress formulation. The fundamental system of partial differential equations of the 2D problems is rewritten as an upper tri angular differential system based on the known results, and then the associated upper triangular operator matrix matrix is obtained. By further research, the two simpler com plete orthogonal systems of eigenfunctions in some space are obtained, which belong to the two block operators arising in the operator matrix. Then, a more simple and conve nient general solution to the 2D problem is given by the eigenfunction expansion method. Furthermore, the boundary conditions for the 2D problem, which can be solved by this method, are indicated. Finally, the validity of the obtained results is verified by a specific example.

Slip flow in an annular sector duct using radial eigenfunctions

The fully developed slip flow in an annular sector duct is solved by expansions of eigenfunctions in the radial direction and boundary collocation on the straight sides. The method is efficient and accurate. The flow field for slip flow differs much from that of no-slip flow. The Poiseuille number increases with increased inner radius, opening angle, and decreases with slip.

Asymptotic Approximation of the Eigenvalues and the Eigenfunctions for the Orr-Sommerfeld Equation on Infinite Intervals

Asymptotic eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the Orr-Sommerfeld equation in two-dimensional and three-dimensional incompressible flows on an infinite domain and on a semi-infinite domain are obtained. Two configurations are considered, one in which a short-wave limit approximation is used, and another in which a long-wave limit approximation is used. In the short-wave limit, Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) methods are utilized to estimate the eigenvalues, and the eigenfunctions are approximated in terms of Green’s functions. The procedure consists of transforming the Orr-Sommerfeld equation into a system of two second order ordinary differential equations for which the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions can be approximated. In the long-wave limit approximation, solutions are expressed in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. Our procedure works regardless of the values of the Reynolds number.

Fourier coefficients of restrictions of eigenfunctions

Let{e_(j)}be an orthonormal basis of Laplace eigenfunctions of a compact Riemannian manifold(M,g).Let H■M be a submanifold and{ψ_(k)}be an orthonormal basis of Laplace eigenfunctions of H with the induced metric.We obtain joint asymptotics for the Fourier coefficients<γHe_(j),ψ_(k)>L^(2)(H)=∫He_(j),ψ_(k)dV_(H)of restrictionsγHe_(j)of e_(j)to H.In particular,we obtain asymptotics for the sums of the norm-squares of the Fourier coefficients over the joint spectrum{(μ_(k),λ_(j))}^(∞)_(j,k-0)of the(square roots of the)Laplacian△_(M)on M and the Laplacian△_(H)on H in a family of suitably‘thick'regions in R^(2).Thick regions include(1)the truncated coneμ_(k)/λ_(j)∈[a,b]■(0,1)andλ_(j)≤λ,and(2)the slowly thickening strip|μ_(k)-cλ_(j)|≤w(λ)andλ_(j)≤λ,where w(λ)is monotonic and 1■w(λ)≤λ^(1/2).Key tools for obtaining the asymptotics include the composition calculus of Fourier integral operators and a new multidimensional Tauberian theorem.
