Strong Grobner bases for polynomials over a principal ideal ring

Grobner bases have been generalised to polynomials over a commutative ring A in several ways. Here we focus on strong Grobner bases, also known as D-bases. Several authors have shown that strong Grobner bases can be effectively constructed over a principal ideal domain. We show that this extends to any principal ideal ring. We characterise Grobner bases and strong Grobner bases when A is a principal ideal ring. We also give algorithms for computing Grobner bases and strong Grobner bases which generalise known algorithms to principal ideal rings. In particular, we give an algorithm for computing a strong Grobner basis over a finite-chain ring, for example a Galois ring.

Energy localization in the Peyrard-Bishop DNA model

We study energy localization on the oscillator chain proposed by Peyrard and Bishop to model DNA. We search numerically for conditions with initial energy in a small subgroup of consecutive oscillators of a finite chain and such that the oscillation amplitude is small outside this subgroup on a long time scale. We use a localization criterion based on the information entropy and verify numerically that such localized excitations exist when the nonlinear dynamics of the subgroup oscillates with a frequency inside the reactive band of the linear chain. We predict a mimium value for the Morse parameter (mu>2.25) (the only parameter of our normalized model), in agreement with the numerical calculations (an estimate for the biological value is mu=6.3). For supercritical masses, we use canonical perturbation theory to expand the frequencies of the subgroup and we calculate an energy threshold in agreement with the numerical calculations.

Deterministic Solutions for a Step-growth Polymerization

Chain topology, including branch node, chain link and cross-link dynamics that contribute to the number of elastically active strands and junctions, are calculated using purely deterministic derivations. Solutions are not coupled to population density distributions. An eigenzeit transformation assists in the conversion of expressions derived by chemical reaction principles from time to conversion space, yielding transport phenomena type expressions where the rate of change in the molar concentrations of branch nodes with respect to conversion is expressed as functions of the fraction of reactive sites on precursors and reactants. Analogies are hypothesized to exist in cross-linking space that effectively distribute branch nodes with i reacted moieties between cross-links having j bonds extending to the gel. To obtain solutions, reacted sites on nodes or links with finite chain extensions are examined in terms of stoichiometry associated with covalent bonding. Solutions replicate published results based on Miller and Macosko’s recursive procedure and results obtained from truncated weighted sums of population density distributions as suggested by Flory.

Neue Methoden zur Computersimulation von Polymersystemen auf verschiedenen Längenskalen und ihre Anwendungen

In dieser Dissertation stellen wir einen neuen Ansatz zurModellierungvon Polymersystemen vor. Es werden (von methodischer Seiteher) zweiautomatisierte Iterationschemata dazu eingeführt,Kraftfeldparametermesoskopischer Polymersysteme systematisch zu optimieren:DasSimplex-Verfahren und das Struktur-Differenzen-Verfahren. Sowerdendiejenigen Freiheitsgrade aus Polymersystemen eliminiert,die einehohe Auflösung erfordern, was die Modellierung größerersystemeermöglicht. Nach Tests an einfachen Flüssigkeiten werdenvergröberteModelle von drei prototypischen Polymeren (Polyacrylsäure,Polyvinylalkohol und Polyisopren) in unterschiedlichenUmgebungen(gutes Lösungsmittel und Schmelze) entwickelt und ihrVerhalten aufder Mesoskala ausgiebig geprüft. Die zugehörige Abbildung(vonphysikalischer Seite her) so zu gestalten, daß sie dieunverwechselbaren Charakteristiken jedes systems auf diemesoskopischeLängenskala überträgt, stellt eine entscheidende Anforderungan dieautomatisierten Verfahren dar. Unsere Studien belegen, daß mesoskopische Kraftfeldertemperatur- unddichtespezifisch sind und daher bei geändernden Bedingungennachoptimiert werden müssen. Gleichzeitig läßt sichabschätzen, beiwelchen Umgebungsbedingungen dies noch nicht notwendig wird.In allenFällen reichen effektive Paarpotentiale aus, einrealistischesmesoskopisches Modell zu konstruieren. VergröberteSimulationenwerden im Falle der Polyacrylsäure erfolgreich gegenexperimentelleLichtstreudaten getestet. Wir erzielen für Molmassen bis zu300000g/mol eine hervorragende Übereinstimmung für denhydrodynamischenRadius. Unsere Ergebnisse erklären auch Korrekturen zudessenVerhalten als Funktion der Kettenlänge ('Skalenverhalten'). Im Fallevon Polyisopren untersuchen wir sowohl statische als auchdynamischeGrößen und stellen klare Unterschiede unserer Ergebnisse zudeneneines einfachen semi-flexiblen Mesoskalenmodells fest. InderProteinforschung werden aus Datenbanken gewonnene effektivePaarwechselwirkungen dazu verwendet, die freie Energie einesneuensystems vorherzusagen. Wir belegen in einem Exkurs mittelsGittersimulationen, daß es selbst in einfachsten Fällennicht gelingt,dies auch nur qualitativ korrekt zu bewerkstelligen.

Transport across two interacting quantum dots: Bulk Kondo, Kondo box, and molecular regimes

We analyze the transport properties of a double quantum dot device with both dots coupled to perfect conducting leads and to a finite chain of N noninteracting sites connecting both of them. The interdot chain strongly influences the transport across the system and the local density of states of the dots. We study the case of a small number of sites, so that Kondo box effects are present, varying the coupling between the dots and the chain. For odd N and small coupling between the interdot chain and the dots, a state with two coexisting Kondo regimes develops: the bulk Kondo due to the quantum dots connected to leads and the one produced by the screening of the quantum dot spins by the spin in the finite chain at the Fermi level. As the coupling to the interdot chain increases, there is a crossover to a molecular Kondo effect, due to the screening of the molecule (formed by the finite chain and the quantum dots) spin by the leads. For even N the two Kondo temperatures regime does not develop and the physics is dominated by the usual competition between Kondo and antiferromagnetism between the quantum dots. We finally study how the transport properties are affected as N is increased. For the study we used exact multiconfigurational Lanczos calculations and finite-U slave-boson mean-field theory at T=0. The results obtained with both methods describe qualitatively and also quantitatively the same physics.

Singularities of the dynamical structure factors of the spin-1/2 XXX chain at finite magnetic field

We study the longitudinal and transverse spin dynamical structure factors of the spin-1/2 XXX chain at finite magnetic field h, focusing in particular on the singularities at excitation energies in the vicinity of the lower thresholds. While the static properties of the model can be studied within a Fermi-liquid like description in terms of pseudoparticles, our derivation of the dynamical properties relies on the introduction of a form of the ‘pseudofermion dynamical theory’ (PDT) of the 1D Hubbard model suitably modified for the spin-only XXX chain and other models with two pseudoparticle Fermi points. Specifically, we derive the exact momentum and spin-density dependences of the exponents ζτ(k) controlling the singularities for both the longitudinal  and transverse (τ = t) dynamical structure factors for the whole momentum range  , in the thermodynamic limit. This requires the numerical solution of the integral equations that define the phase shifts in these exponents expressions. We discuss the relation to neutron scattering and suggest new experiments on spin-chain compounds using a carefully oriented crystal to test our predictions.

A note on units of finite local rings in an ascending chain

In this paper we present matrices over unitary finite commutative local rings connected through an ascending chain of containments, whose elements are units of the corresponding rings in the chain such that the McCoy ranks are the largest ones.

Linear codes over finite local rings in a chain

For a positive integer $t$, let \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ccccccccc} (\mathcal{A}_{0},\mathcal{M}_{0}) & \subseteq & (\mathcal{A}_{1},\mathcal{M}_{1}) & \subseteq & & \subseteq & (\mathcal{A}_{t-1},\mathcal{M}_{t-1}) & \subseteq & (\mathcal{A},\mathcal{M}) \\ \cap & & \cap & & & & \cap & & \cap \\ (\mathcal{R}_{0},\mathcal{M}_{0}^{2}) & & (\mathcal{R}_{1},\mathcal{M}_{1}^{2}) & & & & (\mathcal{R}_{t-1},\mathcal{M}_{t-1}^{2}) & & (\mathcal{R},\mathcal{M}^{2}) \end{array} \end{equation*} be a chain of unitary local commutative rings $(\mathcal{A}_{i},\mathcal{M}_{i})$ with their corresponding Galois ring extensions $(\mathcal{R}_{i},\mathcal{M}_{i}^{2})$, for $i=0,1,\cdots,t$. In this paper, we have given a construction technique of the cyclic, BCH, alternant, Goppa and Srivastava codes over these rings. Though, initially in \cite{AP} it is for local ring $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{M})$, in this paper, this new approach have given a choice in selection of most suitable code in error corrections and code rate perspectives.
