Dynamics and statistical mechanics of non-linear systems
The exact partition function of the sine-Gordon field is calculated. This provides a complete thermal description of the system; as an example we have calculated the thermal densities of the soliton excitations. In the overlayers of adsorbed atoms the coupling of the displacement field of the atoms to the strain imposed on it is shown to preserve the continuous nature of the commensurate-incommensurate transition, with a shift in the transition temperature. The coupling is shown to produce a very inhomogeneous strain. The inclusion of thermal fluctuations in the transition is shown to produce a square-root dependence of the observed misfit parameters on the temperature (pressure). It is also shown that a crystalline order is established in the commensurate phase, but there is no true long-range order in the incommensurate phase. We present a theoretical model which predicts an insulator-to-metal transition in doped trans-polyacetylene. An inhomogeneous charge distribution in the polyacetylene fibrils with a localisation depth of 5 Å gives the experimentally observed critical dopant concentration of y⁎ ≈ 1 %. We present a thorough non-linear analysis of the one-dimensional magnetic materials CsNiF3 and (CH3)4NMnCJ3 (TMMC). The neutron scattering data on CsNiF3 are interpreted as the first observation of a breather soliton. We give an argument which indicates that CsNiF3 is a quantum sine-Gordon system with a substantial quantum correction to the kink mass. The results are extended to TMMC.

Superconductive and insulating inclusions for linear and non-linear conductivity equations
Brander, Tommi; Ilmavirta, Joonas; Kar, Manas (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2018)We detect an inclusion with infinite conductivity from boundary measurements represented by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the conductivity equation. We use both the enclosure method and the probe method. We use the ... -
Linear and non-linear flow mode in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
ALICE Collaboration (Elsevier B.V., 2017)The second and the third order anisotropic flow, V2 and V3, are mostly determined by the corresponding initial spatial anisotropy coefficients, ε2 and ε3, in the initial density distribution. In addition to their dependence ... -
Motor skill competence and moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity : a linear and non-linear cross-sectional analysis of eight pooled trials
Barnett, L. M.; Verswijveren, S. J. J. M.; Colvin, B.; Lubans, D. R.; Telford, R. M.; Lander, N. J.; Schott, N.; Tietjens, M.; Hesket, K. D.; Morgan, P. J.; Hinkley, T.; Downing, K. L.; Telford, R. D.; Cohen, K. E.; Ridgers, N. D.; Abbott, G. (Biomed Central, 2024)Background Few studies have examined the relationship between motor skill competence and device-measured physical activity in large samples and none have used non-linear modelling. This study assessed the linear and ... -
A linear approach for the nonlinear distributed parameter identification problem
Tai, Xue-Cheng; Neittaanmäki, Pekka (Birkhäuser, 1991)In identifying the nonlinear distributed parameters we propose an approach, which enables us to identify the nonlinear distributed parameters by just solving linear problems. In this approach we just need to identify linear ... -
