AbstractIn a recently published paper Matsumura et al. (2010) (hereafter M10), we have studied the evolution of three-planet systems in dissipating gas disks by using a hybrid N-body and one-dimensional gas disk evolution code. In this article, we highlight some results which are only briefly mentioned in M10.

The Titius–Bode law governs the planet distribution in our Solar system. In this paper a possible explanation is proposed based on inelastic collision effects among planetessimals during the evolution of the Solar system. The main purpose of this paper is, however, to introduce a strategy to study phenomena driven by rare but drastic events such as colllisions in the planetary problem. Many complex systems evolve through rare but violent events, so that an efficient strategy to simulate such systems is desirable. An event-driven strategy is proposed in this article, and is used to produce many runs of 108 year evolution history of planetary systems. I have found that the Titius–Bode law holds approximately, if the gravitational effect (scattering) and the collisions are taken into account. The result illustrates the importance of inelastic collisions, which are often neglected in the standard classical mechanics courses. Therefore, for completeness, other simpler particle systems under the effect of inelastc collisions, such as one-dimensional systems, are also included.

We discuss the problem known in economics as backward dynamics occurring in models of perfect foresight, intertemporal equilibrium described mathematically by implicit difference equations. In a previously published paper [Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 31 (2007), 1633–1671], we showed that by means of certain mathematical methods and results known as inverse limits theory it is possible to establish a correspondence between the backward dynamics of a noninvertible map and the forward dynamics of a related invertible map acting on an appropriately defined space of sequences, each of whose elements corresponds to an intertemporal equilibrium. We also proved the existence of different types of topological attractors for one-dimensional models of overlapping generations. In this paper, we provide an extension of those results, constructing a Lebesgue-like probability measure on spaces of infinite sequences that allows us to distinguish typical from exceptional dynamical behaviors in a measure–theoretical sense, thus proving that all the topological attractors considered in MR07 are also metric attractors. We incidentally also prove that the existence of chaos (in the Devaney–Touhey sense) backward in time implies (and is implied by) chaos forward in time.

AbstractObservations of circumstellar disks around stars as a function of stellar properties such as mass, metallicity, multiplicity, and age, provide constraints on theories concerning the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Utilizing ground- and space-based data from the far–UV to the millimeter, astronomers can assess the amount, composition, and location of circumstellar gas and dust as a function of time. We review primarily results from the Spitzer Space Telescope, with reference to other ground- and space-based observations. Comparing these results with those from exoplanet search techniques, theoretical models, as well as the inferred history of our solar system, helps us to assess whether planetary systems like our own, and the potential for life that they represent, are common or rare in the Milky Way galaxy.

AbstractWe have numerically investigated the dust evolution in a protoplanetary accretion disk which is described by a time-dependent one-dimensional (radial) α-model. The coagulation of particles due to cohesive collisions is calculated by solving the non-linear Smoluchowski equation. The feedback of the dust evolution and the related opacity changes to the disk evolution is explicitly treated. Three different regimes during the evolution of the grain population can be identified.

Several conceptual errors in a recently published paper ({\it Rev.\ Mex.\ F\'{\i}s.\ E} {\bf 64} (2018) 47) dealing with the damped one-dimensional harmonic oscillator are pointed out.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

Recent progress in the electron-mirror microscopy (EMM), e.g., an improvement of its resolving power together with an increase of the magnification makes it useful for investigating the ferroelectric domain physics. English has recently observed the domain texture in the surface layer of BaTiO3. The present authors ) have developed a theory by which one can evaluate small one-dimensional electric fields and/or topographic step heights in the crystal surfaces from their EMM pictures. This theory was applied to a quantitative study of the surface pattern of BaTiO3).

The synaptic connections in cat retina that link photoreceptors to ganglion cells have been analyzed quantitatively. Our approach has been to prepare serial, ultrathin sections and photograph en montage at low magnification (˜2000X) in the electron microscope. Six series, 100-300 sections long, have been prepared over the last decade. They derive from different cats but always from the same region of retina, about one degree from the center of the visual axis. The material has been analyzed by reconstructing adjacent neurons in each array and then identifying systematically the synaptic connections between arrays. Most reconstructions were done manually by tracing the outlines of processes in successive sections onto acetate sheets aligned on a cartoonist's jig. The tracings were then digitized, stacked by computer, and printed with the hidden lines removed. The results have provided rather than the usual one-dimensional account of pathways, a three-dimensional account of circuits. From this has emerged insight into the functional architecture.

Since the first discovery of high Tc Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor by Maeda et al, many EM works have been done on it. The results show that the superconducting phases have a type of ordered layer structures similar to that in Y-Ba-Cu-O system formulated in Bi2Sr2Can−1CunO2n+4 (n=1,2,3) (simply called 22(n-1) phase) with lattice constants of a=0.358, b=0.382nm but the length of c being different according to the different value of n in the formulate. Unlike the twin structure observed in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system, there is an incommensurate modulated structure in the superconducting phases of Bi system superconductors. Modulated wavelengths of both 1.3 and 2.7 nm have been observed in the 2212 phase. This communication mainly presents the intergrowth of these two kinds of one-dimensional modulated structures in 2212 phase.
