Fresnel Equations Derived Using a Non-Local Hidden-Variable Particle Theory

Problem: The Fresnel equations describe the proportions of reflected and transmitted light from a surface, and are conventionally derived from wave theory continuum mechanics. Particle-based derivations of the Fresnel equations appear not to exist. Approach: The objective of this work was to derive the basic optical laws from first principles from a particle basis. The particle model used was the Cordus theory, a type of non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) theory that predicts specific substructures to the photon and other particles. Findings: The theory explains the origin of the orthogonal electrostatic and magnetic fields, and re-derives the refraction and reflection laws including Snell’s law and critical angle, and the Fresnel equations for s and p-polarisation. These formulations are identical to those produced by electromagnetic wave theory. Contribution: The work provides a comprehensive derivation and physical explanation of the basic optical laws, which appears not to have previously been shown from a particle basis. Implications: The primary implications are for suggesting routes for the theoretical advancement of fundamental physics. The Cordus NLHV particle theory explains optical phenomena, yet it also explains other physical phenomena including some otherwise only accessible through quantum mechanics (such as the electron spin g-factor) and general relativity (including the Lorentz and relativistic Doppler). It also provides solutions for phenomena of unknown causation, such as asymmetrical baryogenesis, unification of the interactions, and reasons for nuclide stability/instability. Consequently, the implication is that NLHV theories have the potential to represent a deeper physics that may underpin and unify quantum mechanics, general relativity, and wave theory.

GLOBAL STABILITY OF TRAVELING WAVEFRONTS FOR NONLOCAL REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH TIME DELAY

This paper is concerned with the stability of traveling wavefronts for a population dynamics model with time delay. Combining the weighted energy method and the comparison principle, the global exponential stability of noncritical traveling wavefronts （waves with speeds c 〉 c＊, where c=c＊ is the minimal speed） is established, when the initial perturbations around the wavefront decays to zero exponentially in space as x → -∞, but it can be allowed arbitrary large in other locations, which improves the results in[9, 18, 21].

Random Attractors for Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Distribution Derivatives on Unbounded Domains

In this paper, we prove the existence of random attractors for a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation with distribution derivatives on unbounded domains. The nonlinearity is dissipative for large values of the state and the stochastic nature of the equation appears spatially distributed temporal white noise. The stochastic reaction-diffusion equation is recast as a continuous random dynamical system and asymptotic compactness for this demonstrated by using uniform estimates far-field values of solutions. The results are new and appear to be optimal.

In this paper, we prove an important existence and uniqueness theorem for a fractional order Fredholm – Volterra integro-differential equation with non-local and global boundary conditions by converting it to the corresponding well known Fredholm integral equation of second kind. The considered in this paper has been solved already numerically in [1].

UNIFORM QUASI-DIFFERENTIABILITY OF SEMIGROUP TO NONLINEAR REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH SUPERCRITI C AL EXPONENT

A new approach, is established to show that the semigroup {S（t）≥0 generated by a reaction-diffusion equation with supercritical exponent is uniformly quasi-differentiable in L^q（Ω） （2 ≤ q 〈 ∞） with respect to the initial value. As an application, this proves the upper-bound of fractal dimension for its global attractor in the corresponding space.

At last, it is simulated with a higher order equation by using the present methods.

Relation between the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation and reaction-diffusion system

The complex Ginzburg-Landau equation （CGLE） has been used to describe the travelling wave behaviour in reaction-diffusion （RD） systems. We argue that this description is valid only when the RD system is close to the Hopf bifurcation, and is not valid when a RD system is away from the onset. To test this, we study spirals and anti-spirals in the chlorite-iodide-malonic acid （CIMA） reaction and the corresponding OGLE. Numerical simulations confirm that the OGLE can only be applied to the CIMA reaction when it is very near the Hopf onset.

Wave equations and reaction-diffusion equations with several nonlinear source terms

The initial boundary value problem of wave equations and reaction-diffusion equations with several nonlinear source terms in a bounded domain is studied by potential well method. The invarianee of some sets under the flow of these problems and the vacuum isolation of solutions are obtained by introducing a family of potential wells. Then the threshold result of global existence and nonexistence of solutions are given. Finally, the problem with critical initial conditions are discussed.

NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF A NONLINEAR REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION

A nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation is studied numerically by a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method, which has been proved to be 2nd-order accurate in time and 4th-order in space. The comparison between the exact and numerical solutions of progressive waves shows that this numerical scheme is quite accurate, stable andefflcient. It is also shown that any local disturbance will spread, have a full growth and finally form two progressive waves propagating in both directions. The shape and the speed of the long term progressive waves are determined by the system itself, and do not depend on the details of the initial values.

Continuity Equation in Presence of a Non-Local Potential in Non-Commutative Phase-Space

We studied the continuity equation in presence of a local potential, and a non-local potential arising from electron-electron interaction in both commutative and non-commutative phase-space. Furthermore, we examined the influence of the phase-space non-commutativity on both the locality and the non-locality, where the definition of current density in commutative phase-space cannot satisfy the condition of current conservation, but with the steady state, in order to solve this problem, we give a new definition of the current density including the contribution due to the non-local potential. We showed that the calculated current based on the new definition of current density maintains the current. As well for the case when the non- commutativity in phase-space considered, we found that the conservation of the current density completely violated;and the non-commutativity is not suitable for describing the current density in presence of non-local and local potentials. Nevertheless, under some conditions, we modified the current density to solve this problem. Subsequently, as an application we studied the Frahn-Lemmer non-local potential, taking into account that the employed methods concerning the phase-space non-commutativity are both of Bopp-shift linear transformation through the Heisenberg-like commutation relations, and the Moyal-Weyl product.

Finite volume element method for analysis of unsteady reaction-diffusion problems

A finite volume element method is developed for analyzing unsteady scalar reaction-diffusion problems in two dimensions. The method combines the concepts that are employed in the finite volume and the finite element method together. The finite volume method is used to discretize the unsteady reaction-diffusion equation, while the finite element method is applied to estimate the gradient quantities at cell faces. Robustness and efficiency of the combined method have been evaluated on uniform rectangular grids by using available numerical solutions of the two-dimensional reaction-diffusion problems. The numerical solutions demonstrate that the combined method is stable and can provide accurate solution without spurious oscillation along the high-gradient boundary layers.

INVESTIGATION OF THE SCATTERING OF HARMONIC ELASTIC WAVES BY TWO COLLINEAR SYMMETRIC CRACKS USING THE NON-LOCAL THEORY

The scattering of harmonic waves by two collinear symmetric cracks is studied using the non-local theory. A one-dimensional non-local kernel was used to replace a two-dimensional one for the dynamic problem to obtain the stress occurring at the crack tips. The Fourier transform was applied and a mixed boundary value problem was formulated. Then a set of triple integral equations was solved by using Schmidt's method. This method is more exact and more reasonable than Eringen's for solving this problem. Contrary to the classical elasticity solution, it is found that no stress singularity is present at the crack tip. The non-local dynamic elastic solutions yield a finite hoop stress at the crack tip, thus allowing for a fracture criterion based on the maximum dynamic stress hypothesis. The finite hoop stress at the crack tip depends on the crack length, the lattice parameter and the circular frequency of incident wave.

We consider the problem of viscosity solution of integro-partial differential equation( IPDE in short) with one obstacle via the solution of reflected backward stochastic dif ferential equations(RBSDE in short) with jumps. We show the existence and uniqueness of a continuous viscosity solution of equation with non local terms, if the generator is not monotonous and Levy's measure is infinite.

MAXIMAL ATTRACTORS OF CLASSICAL SOLUTIONS FOR REACTION DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH DISPERSION

The paper first deals with the existence of the maximal attractor of classical solution for reaction diffusion equation with dispersion, and gives the sup-norm estimate for the attractor. This estimate is optimal for the attractor under Neumann boundary condition. Next, the same problem is discussed for reaction diffusion system with uniformly contracting rectangle, and it reveals that the maximal attractor of classical solution for such system in the whole space is only necessary to be established in some invariant region. Finally, a few examples of application are given.

Analysis of anomalous transport based on radial fractional diffusion equation

Anomalous transport in magnetically confined plasmas is investigated by radial fractional transport equations.It is shown that for fractional transport models,hollow density profiles are formed and uphill transports can be observed regardless of whether the fractional diffusion coefficients(FDCs)are radially dependent or not.When a radially dependent FDC<D_(α)(r)1 is imposed,compared with the case under=D_(α)(r)1.0,it is observed that the position of the peak of the density profile is closer to the core.Further,it is found that when FDCs at the positions of source injections increase,the peak values of density profiles decrease.The non-local effect becomes significant as the order of fractional derivative a 1 and causes the uphill transport.However,as a 2,the fractional diffusion model returns to the standard model governed by Fick’s law.

INVESTIGATION OF A GRIFFITH CRACK SUBJECT TO UNIFORM TENSION USING THE NON-LOCAL THEORY BY A NEW METHOD

Field equations of the non-local elasticity are solved to determine the state of stress in a plate with a Griffith crack subject to uniform tension. Then a set of dual-integral equations is solved using a new method, namely Schmidt's method. This method is more exact and more reasonable than Eringen's a one Sor solving this kind of problem. Contrary to the solution of classical elasticity, it is found that no stress singularity is present ar the crack tip. The significance of this result is that the fracture criteria are unified at both the macroscopic and the microscopic scales. The finite hoop stress at the crack tip depends on the crack length.
