This paper focuses on rotational phenomena of rigid body kinematics. It discusses them in a group-theoretic approach as completely as possible, using methods and notations as intuitive as possible. With a review of current literature, this…
The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of a class of self- attracting motions on R^d . Using stochastic approximation methods, these processes have already been studied by Bena\"im, Ledoux and Raimond (2002) in a compact…
We consider a model that approximates vortex rings in the axisymmetric 3D Euler equation by the movement of almost rigid bodies described by Newtonian mechanics. We assume that the bodies have a circular cross-section and that the fluid is…
The late-time phase-ordering kinetics of the O(n) model for a non-conserved order parameter are considered for the case where the O(n) symmetry is broken by the initial conditions or by an external field. An approximate theoretical…
When light is passing through a rotating medium the optical polarisation is rotated. Recently it has been reasoned that this rotation applies also to the transmitted image (Padgett et al. 2006). We examine these two phenomena by extending…
The paper concerns with Wilson-Cowan neural model with impulses. The main novelty of the study is that besides the traditional singularity of the model, we consider singular impulses. A new technique of analysis of the phenomenon is…
We tackle the problem of learning a rotation invariant latent factor model when the training data is comprised of lower-dimensional projections of the original feature space. The main goal is the discovery of a set of 3-D bases poses that…
We consider the class of dissipative reaction-diffusion-convection systems on the circle and obtain conditions under which the final (at large times) phase dynamics of a system can be described by an ODE with Lipschitz vector field in…
This is the first of several monographs to be devoted to the optics of accelerated systems. They are being published for the benefit of those who may wish to have another way of looking at kineoptical problems, and also to demonstrate that…
In this paper, we study the well-posedness for a coupled PDE/ODE system describing the interaction of several massive point vortices moving within a vorticity backgound in a 2D ideal incompressible fluid. The points are driven by the…
Recently [A. Xuereb, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 013602 (2010)], we calculated the radiation field and the optical forces acting on a moving object inside a general one-dimensional configuration of immobile optical elements. In this…
In the present paper a simple dynamical model for computing the osmotically driven fluid flow in a variety of complex, non equilibrium situations is derived from first principles. Using the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation, the basic…
The dynamics of fronts, or kinks, in dispersive media with gain and losses is considered. It is shown that the front parameters, such as the velocity and width, depend on initial conditions. This result is not typical for dissipative…
This paper is based on MacColl's [1] solution of the equation of motion for a linear (harmonic) oscillator subject to the laws of special relativity in the rest frame of the center of attraction. MacColl's result can be extended to the…
In this paper we introduce a proposal for the kinematics of bodies in uniform circular motion. This model could contribute for the explanation of the two main problems of contemporary cosmology: dark matter and dark energy. We use one of…
The main theme of the article is the study of discrete systems of material points subjected to constraints not only of a geometric type (holonomic constraints) but also of a kinematic type (nonholonomic constraints). The setting up of the…
We derive from kinetic theory, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics the minimal continuum-level equations governing the flow of a binary, non-electrolytic mixture in an isotropic porous medium with osmotic effects. For dilute mixtures, these…
In 1992 G. B. Ermentrout and J. B. McLeod published a landmark study of traveling wave fronts for a differential-integral equation modeling a neural network. Since then a number of authors have extended the model by adding an additional…
Multistationarity in molecular systems underlies switch-like responses in cellular decision making. Determining whether and when a system displays multistationarity is in general a difficult problem. In this work we completely determine the…
The paper is concerned with the problem on rolling of a homogeneous ball on an arbitrary surface. New cases when the problem is solved by quadratures are presented. The paper also indicates a special case when an additional integral and…
