    Gevrey estimates of the resolvent and sub-exponential time-decay of solutions

    Full text link
    In this article, we study a class of non-selfadjoint Schr{\"o}dinger operators H which are perturbation of some model operator H 0 satisfying a weighted coercive assumption. For the model operator H 0 , we prove that the derivatives of the resolvent satisfy some Gevrey estimates at threshold zero. As application, we establish large time expansions of semigroups e --tH and e --itH for t > 0 with subexponential time-decay estimates on the remainder, including possible presence of zero eigenvalue and real resonances

    Power-Law Slip Profile of the Moving Contact Line in Two-Phase Immiscible Flows

    Full text link
    Large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on two-phase immiscible flows show that associated with the moving contact line, there is a very large 1/x1/x partial-slip region where xx denotes the distance from the contact line. This power-law partial-slip region is verified in large-scale adaptive continuum simulations based on a local, continuum hydrodynamic formulation, which has proved successful in reproducing MD results at the nanoscale. Both MD and continuum simulations indicate the existence of a universal slip profile in the Stokes-flow regime, well described by vslip(x)/Vw=1/(1+x/als)v^{slip}(x)/V_w=1/(1+{x}/{al_s}), where vslipv^{slip} is the slip velocity, VwV_w the speed of moving wall, lsl_s the slip length, and aa is a numerical constant. Implications for the contact-line dissipation are discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure

    Thermophysical properties of liquid carbon dioxide under shock compressions: Quantum molecular dynamic simulations

    Full text link
    Quantum molecular dynamic simulations are introduced to study the dynamical, electrical, and optical properties of carbon dioxide under dynamic compressions. The principal Hugoniot derived from the calculated equation of states is demonstrated to be well accordant with experimental results. Molecular dissociation and recombination are investigated through pair correlation functions, and decomposition of carbon dioxide is found to be between 40 and 50 GPa along the Hugoniot, where nonmetal-metal transition is observed. In addition, the optical properties of shock compressed carbon dioxide are also theoretically predicted along the Hugoniot

    On Murty-Simon Conjecture II

    Full text link
    A graph is diameter two edge-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter two edge-critical graph on nn vertices is at most n24\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4} \rfloor and the extremal graph is the complete bipartite graph Kn2,n2K_{\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor, \lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil}. In the series papers [7-9], the Murty-Simon Conjecture stated by Haynes et al. is not the original conjecture, indeed, it is only for the diameter two edge-critical graphs of even order. In this paper, we completely prove the Murty-Simon Conjecture for the graphs whose complements have vertex connectivity \ell, where =1,2,3\ell = 1, 2, 3; and for the graphs whose complements have an independent vertex cut of cardinality at least three.Comment: 9 pages, submitted for publication on May 10, 201

    Solid quantization for non-point particles

    Full text link
    In quantum field theory, elemental particles are assumed to be point particles. As a result, the loop integrals are divergent in many cases. Regularization and renormalization are necessary in order to get the physical finite results from the infinite, divergent loop integrations. We propose new quantization conditions for non-point particles. With this solid quantization, divergence could be treated systematically. This method is useful for effective field theory which is on hadron degrees of freedom. The elemental particles could also be non-point ones. They can be studied in this approach as well.Comment: 7 page
