The authors consider the simplest quantum mechanics model of solids, the tight binding model, and prove that in the continuum limit, the energy of tight binding model converges to that of the continuum elasticity model obtained using Cauchy-Born rule. The technique in this paper is based mainly on spectral perturbation theory for large matrices.

A central problem in the mathematical analysis of fluid dynamics is the asymptotic limit of the fluid flow as viscosity goes to *** is particularly important when boundaries are present since vorticitv is typically generated at the boundary as a result of boundary layer *** boundary laver theory,developed by Prandtl about a hundred years ago,has become a standard tool in addressing these *** at the mathematical level,there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of these questions and the validity of the boundary layer *** this article,we review recent progresses on the analysis of Prandtl’s equation and the related issue of the zero-viscosity limit for the solutions of the Navier-Stokes *** also discuss some directions where progress is expected in the near future.

In this paper we present two applications of a Stability Theorem of Hilbert frames to nonharmonic Fourier series and wavelet Riesz basis. The first result is an enhancement of the Paley-Wiener type constant for nonharmonic series given by Duffin and Schaefer in [6] and used recently in some applications (see (3]). In the case of an orthonormal basis, our estimate reduces to Kadec' optimal 1/4 result. The second application proves that a phenomenon discovered by Daubechies and Tchamitchian [4] for the orthonormal Meyer wavelet basis (stability of the Riesz basis property under small changes of the translation parameter) actually holds for a large class of wavelet Riesz bases.

Isospectrality is a general fundamental concept often involving whether various operators can have identical spectra, i.e., the same set of eigenvalues. In the context of the Laplacian operator, the famous question "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" concerns whether different shaped drums can have the same vibrational modes. The isospectrality of a lattice in d-dimensional Euclidean space Rd is a tantamount to whether it is uniquely determined by its theta series, i.e., the radial distribution function g2(r). While much is known about the isospectrality of Bravais lattices across dimensions, little is known about this question of more general crystal (periodic) structures with an n-particle basis (n ≥ 2). Here, we ask, What is nmin(d), the minimum value of n for inequivalent (i.e., unrelated by isometric symmetries) crystals with the same theta function in space dimension d? To answer these questions, we use rigorous methods as well as a precise numerical algorithm that enables us to determine the minimum multi-particle basis of inequivalent isospectral crystals. Our algorithm identifies isospectral 4-, 3- and 2-particle bases in one, two and three spatial dimensions, respectively. For many of these isospectral crystals, we rigorously show that they indeed possess identical g2(r) up to infinite r. Based on our analyses, we conjecture that nmin(d) = 4, 3, 2 for d = 1, 2, 3, respectively. The identification of isospectral crystals enables one to study the degeneracy of the ground-state under the action of isotropic pair potentials. Indeed, using inverse statistical-mechanical techniques, we find an isotropic pair potential whose low-temperature configurations in two dimensions obtained via simulated annealing can lead to both of two isospectral crystal structures with n = 3, the proportion of which can be controlled by the cooling rate. Our findings provide general insights into the structural and ground-state degeneracies of crystal structures as determined by radia

A Monte Carlo scheme for the search of extensive conserved quantities in lattice gas automata models is described. It is based on an approximation to the microscopic dynamics and it amounts to estimating the dimension of the eigenspace with eigenvalue 1 of a linear operator related to the lattice gas automata model evolution operator linearized around equilibrium distributions. The applicability of this technique is limited to models with collision rules satisfying semi-detailed balance.

The purpose of this paper is to study the motion of a spinless axisymmetric rigid body in a Newtonian field when we suppose the motion of the center of mass of the rigid body is on a Keplerian orbit. In this case the system can be reduced to a Hamiltonian system with configuration space of a two-dimensional sphere. We prove that the restricted planar motion is analytical nonintegrable and we find horseshoes due to the eccentricity of the orbit. In the case I-3/I-1 > 4/3, we prove that the system on the sphere is also analytical nonintegrable.
