Linear stability of a rotating liquid column revisited

We revisit the somewhat classical problem of the linear stability of a rigidly rotating liquid column in this article. Although the literature pertaining to this problem dates back to 1959, the relation between inviscid and viscous stability criteria has not yet been clarified. While the viscous criterion for stability, given by $We < n^2 + k^2 -1$ , is both necessary and sufficient, this relation has only been shown to be sufficient in the inviscid case. Here, $We = \rho \varOmega ^2 a^3 / \gamma$ is the Weber number and measures the relative magnitudes of the centrifugal and surface tension forces, with $\varOmega$ being the angular velocity of the rigidly rotating column, $a$ the column radius, $\rho$ the density of the fluid and $\gamma$ the surface tension coefficient; $k$ and $n$ denote the axial and azimuthal wavenumbers of the imposed perturbation. We show that the subtle difference between the inviscid and viscous criteria arises from the surprisingly complicated picture of inviscid stability in the $We$ – $k$ plane. For all $n > 1$ , the viscously unstable region, corresponding to $We > n^2 + k^2-1$ , contains an infinite hierarchy of inviscidly stable islands ending in cusps, with a dominant leading island. Only the dominant island, now infinite in extent along the $We$ axis, persists for $n=1$ . This picture may be understood, based on the underlying eigenspectrum, as arising from the cascade of coalescences between a retrograde mode, that is the continuation of the cograde surface-tension-driven mode across the zero Doppler frequency point, and successive retrograde Coriolis modes constituting an infinite hierarchy.

Multi-Elliptic Rogue Wave Clusters of the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation on Different Backgrounds

In this work we analyze the multi-elliptic rogue wave clusters as new solutions of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE). Such structures are obtained on uniform backgrounds by using the Darboux transformation scheme of order $n$ with the first $m$ evolution shifts that are equal, nonzero, and eigenvalue-dependent, while the imaginary parts of all eigenvalues tend to one. We show that an Akhmediev breather of $n-2m$ order appears at the origin of the $(x,t)$ plane and can be considered as the central rogue wave of the cluster. We show that the high-intensity narrow peak, with characteristic intensity distribution in its vicinity, is enclosed by $m$ ellipses consisting of the first-order Akhmediev breathers. The number of maxima on each ellipse is determined by its index and the solution order. Since rogue waves in nature usually appear on a periodic background, we utilize the modified Darboux transformation scheme to build these solutions on a Jacobi elliptic dnoidal background. We analyze the minor semi-axis of all ellipses in a cluster as a function of an absolute evolution shift. We show that the cluster radial symmetry in the $(x,t)$ plane is violated when the shift values are increased above a threshold. We apply the same analysis on Hirota equation, to examine the influence of a free real parameter and Hirota operator on the cluster appearance. The same analysis can be extended to the infinite hierarchy of extended NLSEs.

ON THE DECIDABILITY OF THE INTERSECTION OF ALL TABULAR P N L-LOGICS

В (Попов 2018) проводилось исследование счетно-бесконечной иерархии табличных P N L-логик - логик P N L[3], P N L[4], P N L[5] и т. д. Центральный результат предлагаемой статьи: ∩i∈N P N L[i + 2] является разрешимой паранормальной логикой. In previous work (Попов 2018), we studied one countably infinite hierarchy of tabular P N L-logics (that is, P N L[3], P N L[4], P N L[5] and so on). The central result of the present article: ∩i∈N P N L[i + 2] is a decidable paranormal logic.

Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Hierarchy: Negative Times

The Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation is known to be the leading term of a semi-infinite hierarchy of integrable equations with evolutions given by times with positive numbers. Here, we introduce new hierarchy directed to negative numbers of times. The derivation of such systems, as well as the corresponding hierarchy, is based on the commutator identities. This approach enables introduction of linear differential equations that admit lifts up to nonlinear integrable ones by means of the special dressing procedure. Thus, one can construct not only nonlinear equations, but corresponding Lax pairs as well. The Lax operator of this evolution coincides with the Lax operator of the “positive” hierarchy. We also derive (1 + 1)-dimensional reductions of equations of this hierarchy.

Other Families of Rational Solutions to the KPI Equation

Aims / Objectives: We present rational solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KPI) in terms of polynomials in x, y and t depending on several real parameters. We get an infinite hierarchy of rational solutions written as a quotient of a polynomial of degree 2N(N + 1) - 2 in x, y and t by a polynomial of degree 2N(N + 1) in x, y and t, depending on 2N - 2 real parameters for each positive integer N. Place and Duration of Study: Institut de math´ematiques de Bourgogne, Universit´e de Bourgogne Franche-Cont´e between January 2020 and January 2021. Conclusion: We construct explicit expressions of the solutions in the simplest cases N = 1 and N = 2 and we study the patterns of their modulus in the (x; y) plane for different values of time t and parameters. In particular, in the study of these solutions, we see the appearance not yet observed of three pairs of two peaks in the case of order 2.

Integrability of Riemann-Type Hydrodynamical Systems and Dubrovin’s Integrability Classification of Perturbed KdV-Type Equations

Dubrovin’s work on the classification of perturbed KdV-type equations is reanalyzed in detail via the gradient-holonomic integrability scheme, which was devised and developed jointly with Maxim Pavlov and collaborators some time ago. As a consequence of the reanalysis, one can show that Dubrovin’s criterion inherits important parts of the gradient-holonomic scheme properties, especially the necessary condition of suitably ordered reduction expansions with certain types of polynomial coefficients. In addition, we also analyze a special case of a new infinite hierarchy of Riemann-type hydrodynamical systems using a gradient-holonomic approach that was suggested jointly with M. Pavlov and collaborators. An infinite hierarchy of conservation laws, bi-Hamiltonian structure and the corresponding Lax-type representation are constructed for these systems.

Theism, Possible Worlds, and the Multiverse

God is traditionally taken to be a perfect being, and the creator and sustainer of all that is. So, if theism is true, what sort of world should we expect? To answer this question, we need an account of the array of possible worlds from which God is said to choose. It seems that either there is (a) exactly one best possible world; or (b) more than one unsurpassable world; or (c) an infinite hierarchy of increasingly better worlds. Influential arguments for atheism have been advanced on each hierarchy, and these jointly comprise a daunting trilemma for theism. In this paper, I argue that if theism is true, we should expect the actual world to be a multiverse comprised of all and only those universes which are worthy of creation and sustenance. I further argue that this multiverse is the unique best of all possible worlds. Finally, I explain how his unconventional view bears on the trilemma for theism.

Quantum calculus of Fibonacci divisors and infinite hierarchy of Bosonic–Fermionic Golden quantum oscillators

Starting from divisibility problem for Fibonacci numbers, we introduce Fibonacci divisors, related hierarchy of Golden derivatives in powers of the Golden Ratio and develop corresponding quantum calculus. By this calculus, the infinite hierarchy of Golden quantum oscillators with integer spectrum determined by Fibonacci divisors, the hierarchy of Golden coherent states and related Fock–Bargman representations in space of complex analytic functions are derived. It is shown that Fibonacci divisors with even and odd [Formula: see text] describe Golden deformed bosonic and fermionic quantum oscillators, correspondingly. By the set of translation operators we find the hierarchy of Golden binomials and related Golden analytic functions, conjugate to Fibonacci number [Formula: see text]. In the limit [Formula: see text], Golden analytic functions reduce to classical holomorphic functions and quantum calculus of Fibonacci divisors to the usual one. Several applications of the calculus to quantum deformation of bosonic and fermionic oscillator algebras, [Formula: see text]-matrices, geometry of hydrodynamic images and quantum computations are discussed.
