Fast Algorithm For Generating Sorted Contour Strings, Norman L. Jones, Michael J. Kennard, Alan K. Zundel

Faculty Publications

Automatic generation of contours for graphical display and map plotting has been studied extensively since the early days of computing. The individual segments making up a contour line are often determined by subdividing the object of interest into small triangles and computing the contours assuming a linear variation on each triangle. However, efficient storage of contour data and the need to place labels (automatically) or to smooth the contours require that the contours be generated in continuous strings of segments. A simple approach to generate such strings is to sort the randomly generated contour segments. Since sorting can be time-consuming, …

Entangling Macroscopic Quantum States, John C. Howell, John A. Yeazell

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

Spatial entanglements of macroscopic quantum systems are proposed. The which-path uncertainty of a single photon passing through a beam splitter is transformed into the which-path uncertainty of two macroscopic fields via two quantum nondemolition measurements. The macroscopic fields are nonlocally correlated.

Statistical Continuum Theory For Large Plastic Deformation Of Polycrystalline Materials, Brent L. Adams, S. Ahzi, H. Garmestani, S. Lin

Faculty Publications

This paper focuses on the application of statistical continuum mechanics to the prediction of mechanical response of polycrystalline materials and microstructure evolution under large plastic deformations. A statistical continuum mechanics formulation is developed by applying a Green's function solution to the equations of stress equilibrium in an infinite domain. The distribution and morphology of grains (crystals) in polycrystalline materials is represented by a set of correlation functions that are described by the corresponding probability functions. The elastic deformation is neglected and a viscoplastic power law is employed for crystallographic slip in single crystals. In this formulation, two- and three-point probability …

The Structure Of Free Semigroup Algebras, Kenneth R. Davidson, Elias Katsoulis, David R. Pitts

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

A free semigroup algebra is WOT-closed algebra generated by an n-tuple of isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. The interest in these algebras arises primarily from two of their interesting features. The first is that they provide useful information about unitary invariants of representations of the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras. The second is that they form a class of nonself-adjoint operator algebras which are of interest in their own right. This class contains a distinguished representative, the "non-commutative Toeplitz algebra", which is generated by the left regular representation of the free semigroup on n letters and denoted . This paper provides a general …

Search For Transits Of A Short-Period, Sub-Saturn Extrasolar Planet Orbiting Hd 46375, Gregory W. Henry

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

Precise brightness measurements of HD 46375 have been acquired with an automatic telescope to search for transits of its short-period, sub-Saturn extrasolar planet. Transits of the companion do not occur, indicating that the inclination of the orbit i is less than 83° and sin i is less than 0.992. This upper limit on sin i still preserves the possibility that the mass of the planet is less than Saturn's. Analysis of the photometry for HD 46375 reveals no photometric variability larger than 0.0001 ± 0.0002 mag at the orbital period of the planet. This effectively eliminates starspots and stellar pulsations …

Restricted Words By Adjacencies, Don Rawlings

Mathematics

A recurrence, a determinant formula, and generating functions are presented for enumerating words with restricted letters by adjacencies. The main theorem leads to refinements (with up to two additional parameters) of known results on compositions, polyominoes, and permutations. Among the examples considered are (1) the introduction of the ascent variation on compositions, (2) the enumeration of directed vertically convex polyominoes by upper descents, area, perimeter, relative height, and column number, (3) a tri-variate extension of MacMahon's determinant formula for permutations with prescribed descent set, and (4) a combinatorial setting for an entire sequence of bibasic Bessel functions.

On Size, Circumference And Circuit Removal In 3-Connected Matroids, Manoel Lemos, James Oxley

Faculty Publications

This paper proves several extremal results for 3-connected matroids. In particular, it is shown that, for such a matroid M, (i) if the rank r(M) of M is at least six, then the circumference c(M) of M is at least six and, provided |E(M)| ≥4r(M) - 5, there is a circuit whose deletion from M leaves a 3-connected matroid; (ii) if r(M) ≥4 and M has a basis B such that M\e is not 3-connected for all e in E(M) - B, then |E(M)| ≤3r(M) - 4; and (iii) if M is minimally 3-connected but not hamiltonian, then |E(M)| ≤3r(M) …

Univercity News (2000-06-05)

UniverCity News, 1998-2001

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

Electron Acceleration And The Propagation Of Ultrashort High-Intensity Laser Pulses In Plasmas, Xiaofang Wang, Mohan Krishnan, Ned Saleh, Haiwen Wang, Donald P. Umstadter

Donald Umstadter Publications

Reported are interactions of high-intensity laser pulses ( λ = 810 nm and l≤3×10¹⁸ W/cm²) with plasmas in a new parameter regime, in which the pulse duration ( τ = 29 fs) corresponds to 0.6–2.6 plasma periods. Relativistic filamentation is observed to cause laser-beam breakup and scattering of the beam out of the vacuum propagation angle. A beam of megaelectronvolt electrons with divergence angle as small as 1° is generated in the forward direction, which is correlated to the growth of the relativistic filamentation. Raman scattering, however, is found to be much less than previous long-pulse …
