MAPPING CLOSURE APPROXIMATION FOR REACTIVE SCALARS IN RANDOM FLOWS

The Mapping Closure Approximation(MCA)approach is developed to describe the statistics of both conserved and reactive scalars in random flows.The statistics include Probability Density Function(PDF),Conditional Dissipation Rate(CDR)and Conditional Laplacian(CL).The statistical quantities are calculated using the MCA and compared with the results of the Direct Nu- merical Simulation(DNS).The results obtained from the MCA are in agreement with those from the DNS.It is shown that the MCA approach can predict the statistics of reactive scalars in random flows.

Production of Charged Scalars from the Littlest Higgs Model Associated with Top Quark at LHC

The littlest Higgs （LH） model is the most economical one among various little Higgs models, which predicts the existence of the charged scalars Φ^±. In this paper, we study the production of the charged Higgs boson Φ^- with single top quark via the process gb →tΦ^- at the CERN Large Hadron Collider （LHC）. The numerical results show that the production cross section is sma/ler than 0.2 pb in most of the parameters space, it is very difficult to observe the signatures of the charged scalars via the process pp → gb ＋ X → tΦ^- ＋ X at the LHC experiments. However, it can open a window to distinguish the top-pions in the TC2 model or charged Higgs in the MSSM from Φ^±.

Anomalous scaling in a non-Gaussian random shell model for passive scalars

In this paper, we have introduced a shell-model of Kraichnan＇s passive scalar problem. Different from the original problem, the prescribed random velocity field is non-Gaussian and σ correlated in time, and its introduction is inspired by She and Levveque （Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 336 （1994））. For comparison, we also give the passive scalar advected by the Gaussian random velocity field. The anomalous scaling exponents H（p） of passive scalar advected by these two kinds of random velocities above are determined for structure function with values of p up to 15 by Monte Carlo simulations of the random shell model, with Gear methods used to solve the stochastic differential equations. We find that the H（p） advected by the non-Gaussian random velocity is not more anomalous than that advected by the Gaussian random velocity. Whether the advecting velocity is non-Gaussian or Gaussian, similar scaling exponents of passive scalar are obtained with the same molecular diffusivity.

Probability Distribution Function of Passive Scalars in Shell Models

A shell-model version of passive scalar problem is introduced, which is inspired by the model of K. Ohkitani and M. Yakhot [K. Ohkitani and M. Yakhot, Phys. Rev. Lett. 60 （1988） 983; K. Ohkitani and M. Yakhot, Prog. Theor. Phys. 81 （1988） 329]. As in the original problem, the prescribed random velocity field is Gaussian and 5 correlated in time. Deterministic differential equations are regarded as nonlinear Langevin equation. Then, the Fokker-Planck equations of PDF for passive scalars are obtained and solved numerically. In energy input range （n 〈 5, n is the shell number.）, the probability distribution function （PDF） of passive scalars is near the Gaussian distribution. In inertial range （5≤ n ≤ 16） and dissipation range （n ≥ 17）, the probability distribution function （PDF） of passive scalars has obvious intermittence. And the scaling power of passive scalar is anomalous. The results of numerical simulations are compared with experimental measurements.

Influence of Velocity Shell Correlations on Anomalous Scaling Exponents of Passive Scalars in Shell Models

We propose a new approach to the old-standing problem of the anomaly of the scaling exponents of passive scalars of turbulence. Different to the original problem, the distribution function of the prescribed random velocity field is multi-dimensional normal and delta-correlated in time. Here, our random velocity field is spatially correlative. For comparison, we also give the result obtained by the Gaussian random velocity field without spatial correlation. The anomalous scaling exponents H（p） of passive scalar advected by two kinds of random velocity above are determined for structure function up to p= 15 by numerical simulations of the random shell model with Runge-Kutta methods to solve the stochastic differential equations. We observed that the H（p） ＇s obtained by the multi-dimeasional normal distribution random velocity are more anomalous than those obtained by the independent Gaussian random velocity.

Influence of velocity spatiotemporal correlations on the anomalous scaling exponents of passive scalars

In this paper, we consider spatial-temporal correlation functions of the turbulent velocities. With numerical simulations on the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada （GOY） shell model, we show that the correlation function decays exponentially. The advecting velocity field is regarded as a colored noise field, which is spatially and temporally correlative. For comparison, we are also given the scaling exponents of passive scalars obtained by the Gaussian random velocity field, the multi-dimensional normal velocity field and the She-Leveque velocity field, introduced by She, et al. We observe that extended self-similarity sealing exponents H（p）/H（2） of passive scalar obtained by the colored noise field are more anomalous than those obtained by the other three velocity fields.

Upper Bound of Scalars in the Integer Sub-decomposition Method： The Theoretical Aspects

The focal point of this paper is to present the theoretical aspects of the building blocks of the upper bounds of ISD （integer sub-decomposition） method defined by kP = k11P ＋ k12ψ1 （P） ＋ k21P ＋ k22ψ2 （P） with max {｜k11｜, ｜k12｜} 〈 Ca√n and max{｜k21｜, ｜k22｜}≤C√, where C=I that uses efficiently computable endomorphisms ψj for j=1,2 to compute any multiple kP of a point P of order n lying on an elliptic curve E. The upper bounds of sub-scalars in ISD method are presented and utilized to enhance the rate of successful computation of scalar multiplication kP. Important theorems that establish the upper bounds of the kernel vectors of the ISD reduction map are generalized and proved in this work. The values of C in the upper bounds, that are greater than 1, have been proven in two cases of characteristic polynomials （with degree 1 or 2） of the endomorphisms. The upper bound of ISD method with the case of the endomorphism rings over an integer ring Z results in a higher rate of successful computations kP. Compared to the case of endomorphism rings, which is embedded over an imaginary quadratic field Q = [4-D]. The determination of the upper bounds is considered as a key point in developing the ISD elliptic scalar multiplication technique.

Higgs-like(pseudo)scalars in AdS_(4),marginal and irrelevant deformations in CFT_(3),and instantons on S^(3)

Employing a 4-form ansatz of 11-dimensional supergravity over a non-dynamical AdS_(4)×S^(7)/Z_(k)background and setting the internal space as an S1 Hopf fibration on CP3,we obtain a consistent truncation.The(pseudo)scalars,in the resulting scalar equations in Euclidean AdS_(4)space,may be considered to arise from(anti)M-branes wrapping around the internal directions in the(Wick-rotated)skew-whiffed M2-brane background(as the resulting theory is for anti-M2-branes),thus realizing the modes after swapping the three fundamental representations 8_(s),8_(c),and 8_(v) of SO(8).Taking the backreaction on the external and internal spaces,we obtain the massless and massive modes,corresponding to exactly marginal and marginally irrelevant deformations on the boundary CFT3,respectively.Subsequently,we obtain a closed solution for the bulk equation and compute its correction with respect to the background action.Next,considering the Higgs-like(breathing)mode m^(2)=18,having all supersymmetries as well as parity and scale-invariance broken,solving the associated bulk equation with mathematical methods,specifically the Adomian decomposition method,and analyzing the behavior near the boundary of the solutions,we realize the boundary duals in the SU(4)×U(1)-singlet sectors of the ABJM model.Then,introducing the new dual deformationΔ_(+)=3,6 operators made of bi-fundamental scalars,fermions,and U(1)gauge fields,we obtain the SO(4)-invariant solutions as small instantons on a three-sphere with the radius at infinity,which correspond to collapsing bulk bubbles leading to big-crunch singularities.

A FLEXIBLE OBJECTIVE-CONSTRAINT APPROACH AND A NEW ALGORITHM FOR CONSTRUCTING THE PARETO FRONT OF MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS

In this article, a novel scalarization technique, called the improved objective-constraint approach, is introduced to find efficient solutions of a given multiobjective programming problem. The presented scalarized problem extends the objective-constraint problem. It is demonstrated that how adding variables to the scalarized problem, can lead to find conditions for (weakly, properly) Pareto optimal solutions. Applying the obtained necessary and sufficient conditions, two algorithms for generating the Pareto front approximation of bi-objective and three-objective programming problems are designed. These algorithms are easy to implement and can achieve an even approximation of (weakly, properly) Pareto optimal solutions. These algorithms can be generalized for optimization problems with more than three criterion functions, too. The effectiveness and capability of the algorithms are demonstrated in test problems.

A GENERALIZED SCALAR AUXILIARY VARIABLE METHOD FOR THE TIME-DEPENDENT GINZBURG-LANDAU EQUATIONS

This paper develops a generalized scalar auxiliary variable(SAV)method for the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations.The backward Euler method is used for discretizing the temporal derivative of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations.In this method,the system is decoupled and linearized to avoid solving the non-linear equation at each step.The theoretical analysis proves that the generalized SAV method can preserve the maximum bound principle and energy stability,and this is confirmed by the numerical result,and also shows that the numerical algorithm is stable.

Helmholtz decomposition with a scalar Poisson equation in elastic anisotropic media

P-and S-wave separation plays an important role in elastic reverse-time migration.It can reduce the artifacts caused by crosstalk between different modes and improve image quality.In addition,P-and Swave separation can also be used to better understand and distinguish wave types in complex media.At present,the methods for separating wave modes in anisotropic media mainly include spatial nonstationary filtering,low-rank approximation,and vector Poisson equation.Most of these methods require multiple Fourier transforms or the calculation of large matrices,which require high computational costs for problems with large scale.In this paper,an efficient method is proposed to separate the wave mode for anisotropic media by using a scalar anisotropic Poisson operator in the spatial domain.For 2D problems,the computational complexity required by this method is 1/2 of the methods based on solving a vector Poisson equation.Therefore,compared with existing methods based on pseudoHelmholtz decomposition operators,this method can significantly reduce the computational cost.Numerical examples also show that the P and S waves decomposed by this method not only have the correct amplitude and phase relative to the input wavefield but also can reduce the computational complexity significantly.

High-Order Decoupled and Bound Preserving Local Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for a Class of Chemotaxis Models

In this paper,we explore bound preserving and high-order accurate local discontinuous Galerkin(LDG)schemes to solve a class of chemotaxis models,including the classical Keller-Segel(KS)model and two other density-dependent problems.We use the convex splitting method,the variant energy quadratization method,and the scalar auxiliary variable method coupled with the LDG method to construct first-order temporal accurate schemes based on the gradient flow structure of the models.These semi-implicit schemes are decoupled,energy stable,and can be extended to high accuracy schemes using the semi-implicit spectral deferred correction method.Many bound preserving DG discretizations are only worked on explicit time integration methods and are difficult to get high-order accuracy.To overcome these difficulties,we use the Lagrange multipliers to enforce the implicit or semi-implicit LDG schemes to satisfy the bound constraints at each time step.This bound preserving limiter results in the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition,which can be solved by an efficient active set semi-smooth Newton method.Various numerical experiments illustrate the high-order accuracy and the effect of bound preserving.

On Scalar Planck Waves

The sound of space-time at the large scale is observed in the form of gravitational waves, which are disturbances in space-time produced by wavelike distortions (or kinks) in the gravitational field of an accelerating parcel or distribution of energy. In this study, we investigate a hypothetical wave mode of quantum space-time, which suggests the existence of scalar Planck waves. According to this hypothesis, the sound of quantum space-time corresponds to kinks propagating in the gravitational displacement field of an oscillating energy density. In evaluating the emission of scalar Planck waves and their effect on the geometry of space-time, one finds that they not only transport a vanishingly small amount of energy but can also be used to simulate gravity.

Static Axially Symmetric Models and Structure Scalars in Self-Interacting Brans–Dicke Gravity

This paper investigates static axially symmetric models in self-interacting Brans-Dicke gravity. We discuss physically feasible sources of models, derive field equations as well as evolution equations from Bianchi identities and construct structure scalars. Using these scalars and evolution equations, the inhomogeneity factors of the system are evaluated. It is found that structure scalars related to double dual of Riemann tensor control the density inhomogeneity. Finally, we obtain exact solutions of homogenous isotropic and inhomogeneous anisotropic spheroid models. It turns out that homogenous solutions reduce to Schwarzschild type interior solutions for a spherical case. We conclude that homogenous models involve homogenous distribution of scalar field whereas inhomogeneous correspond to inhomogeneous sca/ar field.

Structure of Massive “Standard Model” Particles

The massive vector bosons Z o, W ± and the scalar Higgs-boson H o assumed in weak interaction theory, but also the six quarks required in strong interactions are well understood in an alternative quantum field theory of fermions and bosons: Z o and W ± as well as all quark-antiquark states (here only the tt¯state is discussed) are described by bound states with scalar coupling between their massless constituents and have a structure similar to leptons. However, the scalar Higgs-boson H o corresponds to a state with vector coupling between the elementary constituents. Similar scalar states are expected also in the mass region of the mesons ω (0.782 GeV) - Υ ( 9.46 GeV). The underlying calculations can be run on line using the Web-address https://h2909473.stratoserver.net.

Numerical Modeling of Mass Transfer in the Interaction between River Biofilm and a Turbulent Boundary Layer

In this article dedicated to the modeling of vertical mass transfers between the biofilm and the bulk flow, we have, in the first instance, presented the methodology used, followed by the presentation of various results obtained through analyses conducted on velocity fields, different fluxes, and overall transfer coefficients. Due to numerical constraints (resolution of relevant spatial scales), we have restricted the analysis to low Schmidt numbers (Sc=0.1, Sc=1, and Sc=10) and a single roughness Reynolds number (Re*=150). The analysis of instantaneous concentration fields from various simulations revealed logarithmic concentration profiles above the canopy. In this zone, the concentration is relatively homogeneous for longer times. The analysis of results also showed that the contribution of molecular diffusion to the total flux depends on the Schmidt number. This contribution is negligible for Schmidt numbers Sc≥0.1, but nearly balances the turbulent flux for Sc=0.1. In the canopy, the local Sherwood number, given by the ratio of the total flux (within or above the canopy) to the molecular diffusion flux at the wall, also depends on the Schmidt number and varies significantly between the canopy and the region above. The exchange velocity, a purely hydrodynamic parameter, is independent of the Schmidt number and is on the order of 10% of in the present case. This study also reveals that nutrient absorption by organisms near the wall depends on the Schmidt number. Such absorption is facilitated by lower Schmidt numbers.

Dynamic of Scalar Bosons in Aharonov-Bohm Magnetic Field

We study the dynamic of scalar bosons in the presence of Aharonov-Bohm magnetic field. First, we give the differential equation that governs this dynamic. Secondly, we use variational techniques to show that the following Schrödinger-Newton equation: , where A is an Aharonov-Bohm magnetic potential, has a unique ground-state solution.

Nature of light scalars through photon-photon collisions

The surprising thing is that arising almost 50 years ago from the linear sigma model （LSM） with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry, the light scalar meson problem has become central in the nonperturbative quantum chromodynamics （QCD） for it has been made clear that LSM could be the low energy realization of QCD. First we review briefly signs of four-quark nature of light scalars. Then we show that the light scalars are produced in the two photon collisions via four-quark transitions in contrast to the classic P wave tensor qq mesons that are produced via two-quark transitions γγ→qq. Thus we get new evidence of the four-quark nature of these states.

Dark Contributions to h→μ^(+)μ^(-) in the Presence of a μ-Flavored Vector-Like Lepton

A simple extension of the standard model(SM) with a μ-flavored vector-like lepton(VLL) doublet and a real singlet scalar can have an interesting implication to the h→μ^(+)μ^(-)decay while offering the simplest possible explanation for the dark matter(DM) phenomenology.Assuming the real singlet scalar to be a viable DM candidate,it has been shown that the muon Yukawa coupling can have a negative contribution at the oneloop order if the 2^(nd) generation SM leptons are allowed to couple with the VLL doublet.The stringent direct detection bounds corresponding to a real singlet scalar DM can easily be relaxed if the SM quark sector was augmented with a dimension-6 operator at some new physics(NP) scale Λ_(NP).Thus,this model presents a significant phenomenological study where the muon Yukawa coupling can be corrected within a real singlet scalar DM framework.The considered parameter space can be tested/constrained through the high luminosity run of the LHC(HL-LHC) and future direct detection experiments.
