Scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves by many small particles, embedded in a given medium, is studied. Physical properties of the particles are described by their boundary impedances. The limiting equation is obtained for the effective…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with finite class group $G$ such that every class contains a prime divisor. Then every non-unit $a \in H$ can be written as a finite product of atoms, say $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k$. The set $\mathsf L (a)$ of…

Through the analysis of the definition of the duration of proper time of a particle given by the length of its world line, we show that there is no transitivity of the coordinate time function derived from the definition, so there exists an…
