Influence of O-H···Pt interactions on photoluminescent response in the (Bu4N)2{[Pt(bph)(CN)2][phenylene-1,4-diresorcinol]} framework.

Tunable photoluminescence (PL) is one of the hot topics in current materials science, and research performed on the molecular phases is at the forefront of this field. We present the new (Et4N)2[PtII(bph)(CN)2]·rez3·1/3H2O (Pt2rez3) (bph = biphenyl-2,2'-diyl; rez3 = 3,3",5,5"-tetrahydroxy-1,1':4',1"-terphenyl,phenylene-1,4-diresorcinol coformer, a linear quaternary hydrogen bond donor) co-crystal salt based on the recently appointed promising [PtII(bph)(CN)2]2- luminophore. Within the extended hydrogen-bonded subnetwork [PtII(bph)(CN)2]2- complexes and rez3 coformer molecules form two types of contacts: the rez3O-H···Ncomplex ones in the equatorial plane of the complex and non-typical rez3O-H···Pt ones along its axial direction. The combined structural, PL, and DFT approach distinguished the rez3O-H···Pt synthons to promote the noticeable uniform redshift of bph ligand centered (LC) emission compared to the LC emission of (Et4N)2[PtII(bph)(CN)2]·H2O (Pt2) precursor owing to the direct interference of the phenol group into the PtII-bph orbital system via altering the CT processes. The high-resolution emission spectra for Pt2 and Pt2rez3 were successfully reproduced at 77 K by using the Franck-Cordon expressions. The possibility to tune PL properties along the plausible continuum of rez3O-H···Pt synthons is indicated, considering various scenarios of molecular occupation of the space above and below the complex plane.

Wetzel families and the continuum

AbstractWe provide answers to a question brought up by Erdős about the construction of Wetzel families in the absence of the continuum hypothesis: A Wetzel family is a family of entire functions on the complex plane which pointwise assumes fewer than values. To be more precise, we show that the existence of a Wetzel family is consistent with all possible values of the continuum and, if is regular, also with Martin's Axiom. In the particular case of this answers the main open question asked by Kumar and Shelah [Fund. Math. 239 (2017) no. 3, 279–288]. In the buildup to this result, we are also solving an open question of Zapletal on strongly almost disjoint functions from Zapletal [Israel J. Math. 97 (1997) no. 1, 101–111]. We also study a strongly related notion of sets exhibiting a universality property via mappings by entire functions and show that these consistently exist while the continuum equals .

Error bounds for Gauss–Jacobi quadrature of analytic functions on an ellipse

For the Gauss–Jacobi quadrature on [ − 1 , 1 ] [-1,1] , the location is estimated where the kernel of the error functional for functions analytic on an ellipse and its interior in the complex plane attains its maximum modulus. For the Jacobi weight ( 1 − t ) α ( 1 + t ) β (1-t)^\alpha (1+t)^\beta ( α > − 1 \alpha >-1 , β > − 1 \beta >-1 ) except for the Gegenbauer weight ( α = β \alpha =\beta ), the location is the intersection point of the ellipse with the real axis in the complex plane. For the Gegenbauer weight, it is the intersection point(s) with either the real or the imaginary axis or other axes with angle 1 4 π \tfrac {1}{4}\pi and 3 4 π \tfrac {3}{4}\pi . Our results support the empirical results provided by Gautschi and Varga [SIAM J. Numer. Anal, 20 (1983), pp. 1170–1186] for the Jacobi weight, the Gegenbauer weight and the Legendre weight. The results obtained are also illustrated numerically.

Quantum Tunneling and Complex Dynamics in the Suris’s Integrable Map

Quantum tunneling in a two-dimensional integrable map is studied. The orbits of the map are all confined to the curves specified by the one-dimensional Hamiltonian. It is found that the behavior of tunneling splitting for the integrable map and the associated Hamiltonian system is qualitatively the same, with only a slight difference in magnitude. However, the tunneling tails of the wave functions, obtained by superposing the eigenfunctions that form the doublet, exhibit significant differences. To explore the origin of the difference, we observe the classical dynamics in the complex plane and find that the existence of branch points appearing in the potential function of the integrable map could play the role of yielding non-trivial behavior in the tunneling tail. The result highlights the subtlety of quantum tunneling, which cannot be captured in nature only by the dynamics in the real plane.

Sharpening Littlewood subordination principle with univalent symbol

AbstractLet be a subharmonic function on the open unit disc , centered at the origin of the complex plane, and let be a holomorphic function such that . A classical result, known as Littlewood subordination principle, states , where and are integral means over the circle of radius centered at the origin, of the functions and , respectively. In this note, we obtain an unexpected improvement of Littlewood subordination principle in the case when the function is univalent, by proving that where . We also list some applications of this result including an improved variant of Rogosinski theorem with univalent symbol.

FRACTAL PROPERTIES OF THE GENERALIZED MANDELBROT SET WITH COMPLEX EXPONENT

Mandelbrot set, which was provided as a highlight in fractal and chaos, is studied by many researchers. With the extension of Mandelbrot set to generalized [Formula: see text] set with different kinds of exponent [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] set), properties are hard to understand when [Formula: see text] is a complex number. In this paper, fractal property of generalized [Formula: see text] set with complex exponent [Formula: see text] is studied. First, a relation is constructed between generalized [Formula: see text] set with complex and real exponent. Then, distribution of [Formula: see text] set on complex plane is researched. Meanwhile, symmetry of generalized [Formula: see text] set is proved. Finally, graphics, generated by escape time algorithm, are the validated results of this paper.

Asymptotic approximations of complex order tangent, Tangent-Bernoulli and Tangent-Genocchi polynomials

In this study, asymptotic formulas for complex order Tangent, Tangent-Bernoulli, and Tangent-Genocchi polynomials are obtained through the method of contour integration, strategically avoiding branch cuts in the process. By employing this technique, the paper elucidates the behavior of these polynomials in the complex plane. Additionally, the investigation expands upon the Taylor series expansion of these functions, revealing alternative asymptotic expansions. This dual approach not only enhances our understanding of the asymptotic properties of these polynomials but also offers alternative mathematical perspectives, enriching the existing body of knowledge in this field.

Multiple skin transitions in two-band non-Hermitian systems with long-range nonreciprocal hopping

Abstract Non-Hermitian skin effect is a prominent feature in non-Hermitian physics, leading to novel topological properties and expanding the traditional energy band theories. In this paper, we investigate a two-band non-Hermitian system in which multiple skin transitions are induced by long-range nonreciprocal hopping. The spectral winding number under periodic boundary conditions reveals the localization directions of skin states. Further, we present the analytical solution of transition points by tracing the self-intersecting points on the complex plane. Interestingly, the current system exhibits the abundant non-Hermitian skin effects, including the normal, W-shaped, and bipolar localization properties, which the eigenstate distributions and the generalized Brillouin zone can clearly illustrate. We also provide a phase diagram to represent the skin transition properties of the system comprehensively. Further, we demonstrate that the multimer non-Hermitian lattices also present the anomalous skin effect and multiple transitions, which occur in the region of the bulk band touching, the same as the two-band lattice. Moreover, a feasible scheme is proposed to realize the current non-Hermitian system with long-range nonreciprocal hopping by a topoelectrical circuit. This work further supplies the content of skin transitions and may help us explore more plentiful localization features in the two-band non-Hermitian systems.

NEW CONJECTURES FOR THE ENTIRE FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FRACTIONAL CALCULUS

In this paper, we address the entire Fourier sine and cosine integrals related to the Mittag-Leffler function. We guess that the entire functions have the real zeros in the entire complex plane. They can be connected with the well-known conjectures in analytic number theory. They are considered as the special solutions for the time-fractional diffusion equation within the Caputo fractional derivative.

Nucleon resonance parameters from Roy–Steiner equations

A reliable determination of the pole parameters and residues of nucleon resonances is notoriously challenging, given the required analytic continuation into the complex plane. We provide a comprehensive analysis of such resonance parameters accessible with Roy–Steiner equations for pion–nucleon scattering—a set of partial-wave dispersion relations that combines the constraints from analyticity, unitarity, and crossing symmetry—most prominently of the Δ(1232) resonance. Further, we study the Roper, N(1440), resonance, which lies beyond the strict domain of validity, in comparison to Padé approximants, comment on the role of subthreshold singularities in the S-wave, and determine the residues of the f0(500), ρ(770), and f0(980) resonances in the t-channel process ππ→N¯N. The latter allows us to test—for the first time fully model independently in terms of the respective residues—universality of the ρ(770) couplings and the Goldberger–Treiman relation expected if the scalars behaved as dilatons, in both cases revealing large deviations from the narrow-resonance limit.

Underwater descattering with polarization line constraint

It is effective to use polarization information for underwater descattering. However, existing methods always consider only the degree of linear polarization (DoLP) and ignore the angle of linear polarization (AoLP). In this paper, we propose a novel polarization imaging model on the complex plane that considers both the DoLP and the AoLP. Our model unifies and generalizes the polarization imaging model. Based on the model, we design an effective descattering method that can restore the intensity and polarization information from degraded images. In our method, we propose a polarization quantization to reduce polarization states from 1.8×1016 to only thousands. We propose a polarization line constraint, by which each distinct polarization state produces a polarization line in a degraded image on the complex plane. By the constraint, the clear image and its polarization states can be restored from its corresponding degraded image. To validate our method, we give an image quality metric for evaluating the accuracy of the restored polarization information. Experimental results show that our method is competitive with other state-of-the-art methods and achieves the best performance in terms of the underwater metrics.

The Small-N Series in the Zero-Dimensional O(N) Model: Constructive Expansions and Transseries

AbstractWe consider the zero-dimensional quartic O(N) vector model and present a complete study of the partition function Z(g, N) and its logarithm, the free energy W(g, N), seen as functions of the coupling g on a Riemann surface. We are, in particular, interested in the study of the transseries expansions of these quantities. The point of this paper is to recover such results using constructive field theory techniques with the aim to use them in the future for a rigorous analysis of resurgence in genuine quantum field theoretical models in higher dimensions. Using constructive field theory techniques, we prove that both Z(g, N) and W(g, N) are Borel summable functions along all the rays in the cut complex plane $$\mathbb {C}_{\pi } =\mathbb {C}{\setminus } \mathbb {R}_-$$ C π = C \ R - . We recover the transseries expansion of Z(g, N) using the intermediate field representation. We furthermore study the small-N expansions of Z(g, N) and W(g, N). For any $$g=|g| e^{\imath \varphi }$$ g = | g | e ı φ on the sector of the Riemann surface with $$|\varphi |<3\pi /2$$ | φ | < 3 π / 2 , the small-N expansion of Z(g, N) has infinite radius of convergence in N, while the expansion of W(g, N) has a finite radius of convergence in N for g in a subdomain of the same sector. The Taylor coefficients of these expansions, $$Z_n(g)$$ Z n ( g ) and $$W_n(g)$$ W n ( g ) , exhibit analytic properties similar to Z(g, N) and W(g, N) and have transseries expansions. The transseries expansion of $$Z_n(g)$$ Z n ( g ) is readily accessible: much like Z(g, N), for any n, $$Z_n(g)$$ Z n ( g ) has a zero- and a one-instanton contribution. The transseries of $$W_n(g)$$ W n ( g ) is obtained using Möbius inversion, and summing these transseries yields the transseries expansion of W(g, N). The transseries of $$W_n(g)$$ W n ( g ) and W(g, N) are markedly different: while W(g, N) displays contributions from arbitrarily many multi-instantons, $$W_n(g)$$ W n ( g ) exhibits contributions of only up to n-instanton sectors.

On a multiplier operator induced by the Schwarzian derivative of univalent functions

AbstractIn this paper, we study a multiplier operator which is induced by the Schwarzian derivative of univalent functions with a quasiconformal extension to the extended complex plane. As applications, we show that the Brennan conjecture is satisfied for a large class of quasidisks. We also establish a new characterization of asymptotically conformal curves and of the Weil–Petersson curves in terms of the multiplier operator.

Period-doubling cascade route to chaos in an initially curved microbeam resonator exposed to fringing-field electrostatic actuation

AbstractThis paper explores the chaotic dynamics of a piezoelectrically laminated initially curved microbeam resonator subjected to fringing-field electrostatic actuation, for the first time. The resonator is fully clamped at both ends and is coated with two piezoelectric layers, encompassing both the top and bottom surfaces. The nonlinear motion equation which is obtained by considering the nonlinear fringing-field electrostatic force, includes geometric nonlinearities due to the mid-plane stretching and initial curvature. The motion equation is discretized using Galerkin method and the reduced order system is numerically integrated over the time for the time response. The variation of the first three natural frequencies with respect to the applied electrostatic voltage is determined and the frequency response curve is obtained using the combination of shooting and continuation methods. The bifurcation points have been examined and their types have been clarified based on the loci of the Floquet exponents on the complex plane. The period-doubled branches of the frequency response curves originating from the period doubling (PD) bifurcation points are stablished. It's demonstrated that the succession PD cascades leads to chaotic behavior. The chaotic behavior is identified qualitatively by constructing the corresponding Poincaré section and analyzing the response's associated frequency components. The bifurcation diagram is obtained for a wide range of excitation frequency and thus the exact range in which chaotic behavior occurs for the system is determined. The chaotic response of the system is regularized and controlled by applying an appropriate piezoelectric voltage which shifts the frequency response curve along the frequency axis.

Large-W limit of the knapsack problem.

We formulate the knapsack problem (KP) as a statistical physics system and compute the corresponding partition function as an integral in the complex plane. The introduced formalism allows us to derive three statistical-physics-based algorithms for the KP: one based on the recursive definition of the exact partition function, another based on the large weight limit of that partition function, and a final one based on the zero-temperature limit of the second. Comparing the performances of the algorithms, we find that they do not consistently outperform (in terms of runtime and accuracy) dynamic programming, annealing, or standard greedy algorithms. However, the exact partition function is shown to reproduce the dynamic programming solution to the KP, and the zero-temperature algorithm is shown to produce a greedy solution. Therefore, although dynamic programming and greedy solutions to the KP are conceptually distinct, a statistical physics formalism introduced reveals that the large weight-constraint limit of the former leads to the latter. We conclude by discussing how to extend this formalism in order to obtain more accurate versions of the introduced algorithms and other similar combinatorial optimization problems.

Realization of synchronized modulations by stator flux trajectory tracking for low‐carrier‐ratio induction motor drives

SummaryCompared with asynchronous voltage modulations, the synchronous space vector modulation (Syn‐SVPWM) can suppress current harmonics for high‐power induction motors (IM) by generating symmetrical voltage pulses. However, it is difficult to build a high‐performance current regulator based on Syn‐SVPWM because of the requirements of fixed voltage phases and the nonsymmetrical switching sequences in Syn‐SVPWM. Therefore, this manuscript proposes the equivalent realization of Syn‐SVPWM by the concept of stator flux trajectory tracking (SFTT). The new method controls the stator flux vector to move along evenly distributed flux samples in the complex plane. Then, the synchronization and symmetries of voltage pulses are maintained by organizing the switching sequence between adjacent flux samples. Meanwhile, the torque can be changed by online updating the control period based on the inverse torque model. Consequently, the proposed method can provide fast torque response with Syn‐SVPWM in a simple manner because it does not have to compensate the phase contradiction and to extract the fundamental of sampled current. Both simulations and experiments have verified the effectiveness of proposed method.

Numerical Investigation of Stratified Slope Failure Containing Rough Non-Persistent Joints Based on Distinct Element Method

To address the critical issue of slope stability in jointed rock masses with complex and rough structural planes, a rough joint network model using the Fourier transform was proposed and applied to the Shilu open pit mine. The on-site structural plane survey results were combined with MATLAB and PFC2D to establish numerical models for slope stability analysis considering both linear-jointed and rough-jointed rock slopes. By comparing the slip body and fracture distribution, it was found that the rough-jointed slope was stabler than the linear-jointed slope. In addition, the fracture patterns and slip displacement were significantly influenced by the inclination and undulation of the bedding planes. Slip failure patterns occurred when the angle of inclination was set at 60°. The joints played a crucial role in inducing the shear strength of slope rock masses, and the slide area was mainly observed in the shallow slope surface for inclination angles of 0° and 45°, and in the middle deep area for 60° and 90°. These results demonstrated the importance of considering rough non-persistent fractures when developing a new numerical model for slope failure modes.

Growth of meromorphic solution related to linear difference equations and value sharing

In this paper, we consider the growth of meromorphic solutions of complex linear difference equations of certain types and derive some results, which improve the results of Chiang and Feng [On the Nevanlinna characteristic of f ( z + η ) and difference equations in the complex plane. Ramanujan J. 2008;16(1):105–129; On the growth of logarithmic differences, difference quotients and logarithmic derivatives of meromorphic functions. Trans Am Math Soc. 2009;361:3767–3791] and Chen [Growth and zeros of meromorphic solution of some linear difference equations. J Math Anal Appl. 2011;373:235–241]. Also in this paper, we consider the sharing value problems of entire functions with their difference operators and obtain a result which improves the result of Li, Yang and Yi [Entire functions sharing an entire function of smaller order with their shifts. Proc Jpn Acad. 89 (A) (2013), 34–39]. Moreover, we show by illustrating a number of examples that our results are best possible in certain senses.

Non-inertial interpretation of the Dirac oscillator

Non-inertial physics is seldom considered in quantum mechanics and this contrasts with the ubiquity of non-inertial reference frames. Here, we show an application to the Dirac oscillator which provides a fundamental model of relativistic quantum mechanics. The model emerges from a term linearly dependent on spatial coordinates added to the momentum of the free-particle Dirac Hamiltonian. The definition generates peculiar features (mutating vacuum energy, non-Hermitian momentum, accidental degeneracies of the spectrum, etc). We interpret these anomalies in terms of inertial effects. The demonstration is based on the decoupling of the Dirac equation from the stereographic projection that maps the 3D geometry of the dynamical problem to the complex plane. The decoupling shows that the fundamental mechanical model underpinning the Dirac oscillator reduces to the representation of the oscillator in the rotating reference frame attached to the orbital angular momentum. The resulting Coriolis-like contribution to the Hamiltonian accounts for the peculiarities of the model (mutating vacuum energy, form of the non-minimal correction to the momentum, classical intrinsic spin and gain of its quantum value, accidental degeneracies of the energy spectrum, supersymmetric potential). The suggested interpretation has an interdisciplinary character where stereographic geometry, classical physics of the Coriolis effect and quantum physics of Dirac particles contribute to the definition of one of the few exactly soluble models of relativistic quantum mechanics.
