Published: April 2020

The aim of this article is to show the way to get both, exact and analytical approximate solutions for certain variational problems with moving boundaries but without resorting to Euler formalism at all, for which we propose two methods: the Moving Boundary Conditions Without Employing Transversality Conditions (MWTC) and the Moving Boundary Condition Employing Transversality Conditions (METC). It is worthwhile to mention that the first of them avoids the concept of transversality condition, which is basic for this kind of problems, from the point of view of the known Euler formalism. While it is true that the second method will utilize the above mentioned conditions, it will do through a systematic elementary procedure, easy to apply and recall; in addition, it will be seen that the Generalized Bernoulli Method (GBM) will turn out to be a fundamental tool in order to achieve these objectives.

The fundamental goal of this research is to suggest a novel mathematical operator for modeling visceral leishmaniasis, specifically the Caputo fractional-order derivative. By utilizing the Fractional Euler Method, we were able to simulate the dynamics of the fractional visceral leishmaniasis model, evaluate the stability of the equilibrium point, and devise a treatment strategy for the disease. The endemic and disease-free equilibrium points are studied as symmetrical components of the proposed dynamical model, together with their stabilities.

Berezin Quantization, Conformal Welding and the Bott-Virasoro Group.

Following Nag-Sullivan, we study the representation of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle on the Hilbert space of holomorphic functions. Conformal welding provides triangular decompositions for the corresponding symplectic transformations. We apply Berezin formalism and lift this decomposition to operators acting on the Fock space.

Generalization of Powell's results to population out of steady state.

Phys Rev E

Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, ul. Kasprzaka 44/52, 01-224 Warsaw, Poland.

Since the seminal work of Powell, the relationships between the population growth rate, the probability distributions of generation time, and the distribution of cell age have been known for the bacterial population in a steady state of exponential growth. Here we generalize these relationships to include an unsteady (transient) state for both the batch culture and the mother machine experiment. In particular, we derive a time-dependent Euler-Lotka equation (relating the generation-time distributions to the population growth rate) and a generalization of the inequality between the mean generation time and the population doubling time.

The footprint of linear dichroism in infrared 2D-Correlation spectra.

On the level of the Bouguer-Beer-Lambert approximation, the effects introduced by linear dichroism into absorbance spectra can be simulated by classic linear dichroism theory. If wave optics and dispersion theory are employed, linear dichroism can be modelled with a 4x4 matrix formalism. For linear dichroism theory, the angle between polarization direction and transition moment can be seen as a perturbation which allows to calculate corresponding infrared 2D correlation spectra.

Conserved quantities of Euler-Lagrange system via complex Lagrangian.

Heliyon

June 2023

Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Jackson State University, 1400 J R Lynch Street, Jackson, MS, 39257, USA.

In this work we use complex Lagrangian technique to obtain Noether-like operators and the associated conserved quantities of an Euler-Lagrange (EL) system. We show that the three new conserved quantities namely, Noether conserved quantity, Lie conserved quantity and Mei conserved quantity reported by Fang et al. [1] for an EL-system and even more in numbers by Nucci [2] can also be obtained via complex variational formalism.
