Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3A1-L10 Phase Boundaries and Anisotropy Via Multiple-Order Theory for an Fcc Alloy(European Mathematical Society Publishing House, 2003) Tanoğlu, Gamze; Braun, Richard J.; Cahn, John W.; McFadden, Geoffrey B.The dependence of thermodynamic properties of planar interphase boundaries (IPBs) and antiphase boundaries (APBs) in a binary alloy on an fcc lattice is studied as a function of their orientation. Using a recently developed diffuse interface model based on three non-conserved order parameters and the concentration, and a free energy density that gives a realistic phase diagram with one disordered phase (A1) and two ordered phases (L12 and L10) such as occur in the Cu-Au system, we are able to find IPBs and APBs between any pair of phases and domains, and for all orientations. The model includes bulk and gradient terms in a free energy functional, and assumes that there is no mismatch in the lattice parameters for the disordered and ordered phases.We catalog the appropriate boundary conditions for all IPBs and APBs. We then focus on the IPB between the disordered A1 phase and the L10 ordered phase. For this IPB we compute the numerical solution of the boundary value problem to find its interfacial energy, γ as a function of orientation, temperature, and chemical potential (or composition). We determine the equilibrium shape for a precipitate of one phase within the other using the Cahn-Hoffman "-vector" formalism. We find that the profile of the interface is determined only by one conserved and one non-conserved order parameter, which leads to a surface energy which, as a function of orientation, is "transversely isotropic" with respect to the tetragonal axis of the L10 phase. We verify the model's consistency with the Gibbs adsorption equation.Article Citation - WoS: 81Citation - Scopus: 79The Resonant Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in Cold Plasma Physics. Application of Bäcklund-Darboux Transformations and Superposition Principles(Cambridge University Press, 2007) Lee, Jiunhung; Pashaev, Oktay; Rogers, Colin; Schief, W. K.A system of nonlinear equations governing the transmission of uni-axial waves in a cold collisionless plasma subject to a transverse magnetic field is reduced to the recently proposed resonant nonlinear Schrödinger (RNLS) equation. This integrable variant of the standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation admits novel nonlinear superposition principles associated with Bäcklund-Darboux transformations. These are used here, in particular, to construct analytic descriptions of the interaction of solitonic magnetoacoustic waves propagating through the plasma.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Lebesgue-Stieltjes Measure on Time Scales(TUBITAK, 2009) Deniz, Aslı; Ufuktepe, ÜnalThe theory of time scales was introduced by Stefan Hilger in his Ph. D. thesis in 1988, supervised by Bernd Auldbach, in order to unify continuous and discrete analysis [5]. Measure theory on time scales was first constructed by Guseinov [4], then further studies were made by Guseinov-Bohner [1], Cabada-Vivero [2] and Rzezuchowski [6]. In this article, we adapt the concept of Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure to time scales. We define Lebesgue-Stieltjes Δ and ▶-measures and by using these measures, we define an integral adapted to time scales, specifically Lebesgue-Stieltjes Δ-integral. We also establish the relation between Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure and Lebesgue-Stieltjes Δ-measure, consequently between Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral and Lebesgue-Stieltjes Δ-integral.Article Boundary Shape and Casimir Energy(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2009) Ahmedov, Hacı; Duru, İsmail HakkıCasimir energy changes are investigated for geometries obtained by small but arbitrary deformations of a given geometry for which the vacuum energy is already known for the massless scalar field. As a specific case, deformation of a spherical shell is studied. From the deformation of the sphere we show that the Casimir energy is a decreasing function of the surface-to-volume ratio. The decreasing rate is higher for less smooth deformations.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Vortex Images and Q-Elementary Functions(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2008) Pashaev, Oktay; Yılmaz, OğuzIn the present paper, the problem of vortex images in the annular domain between two coaxial cylinders is solved by the q-elementary functions. We show that all images are determined completely as poles of the q-logarithmic function, and are located at sites of the q-lattice, where a dimensionless parameter q = r 2 2/r 2 1 is given by the square ratio of the cylinder radii. The resulting solution for the complex potential is represented in terms of the Jackson q-exponential function. Our approach in this paper provides an efficient path to rediscover known solutions for the vortex-cylinder pair problem and yields new solutions as well. By composing pairs of q-exponents to the first Jacobi theta function and conformal mapping to a rectangular domain we show that our solution coincides with the known one, obtained before by elliptic functions. The Schottky-Klein prime function for the annular domain is factorized explicitly in terms of q-exponents. The Hamiltonian, the Kirchhoff-Routh and the Green functions are constructed. As a new application of our approach, the uniformly rotating exact N-vortex polygon solutions with the rotation frequency expressed in terms of q-logarithms at Nth roots of unity are found. In particular, we show that a single vortex orbits the cylinders with constant angular velocity, given as the q-harmonic series. Vortex images in two particular geometries with only one cylinder as the q → ∞ limit are studied in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Integrable Hierarchies and Information Measures(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2008) Parwani, Rajesh R.; Pashaev, OktayIn this paper we investigate integrable models from the perspective of information theory, exhibiting various connections. We begin by showing that compressible hydrodynamics for a one-dimensional isentropic fluid, with an appropriately motivated information theoretic extension, is described by a general nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Depending on the choice of the enthalpy function, one obtains the cubic NLS or other modified NLS equations that have applications in various fields. Next, by considering the integrable hierarchy associated with the NLS model, we propose higher order information measures which include the Fisher measure as their first member. The lowest members of the hierarchy are shown to be included in the expansion of a regularized Kullback-Leibler measure while, on the other hand, a suitable combination of the NLS hierarchy leads to a Wootters type measure related to a NLS equation with a relativistic dispersion relation. Finally, through our approach, we are led to construct integrable relativistic NLS equations.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 11Extensions of Weakly Supplemented Modules(Mathematica Scandinavica, 2008) Alizade, Rafail; Büyükaşık, EnginIt is shown that weakly supplemented modules need not be closed under extension (i.e. if U and M/U are weakly supplemented then M need not be weakly supplemented). We prove that, if U has a weak supplement in M then M is weakly supplemented. For a commutative ring R, we prove that R is semilocal if and only if every direct product of simple R-modules is weakly supplemented.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 14Rings Whose Modules Are Weakly Supplemented Are Perfect. Applications To Certain Ring Extensions(Mathematica Scandinavica, 2009) Büyükaşık, Engin; Lomp, ChristianIn this note we show that a ring R is left perfect if and only if every left R-module is weakly supplemented if and only if R is semilocal and the radical of the countably infinite free left R-module has a weak supplement.Article Second Order Diffraction of Water Waves by a Bottom Mounted Vertical Circular Cylinder and Some Related Numerical Problems(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2007) Yılmaz, OğuzA Hankel transformation is used to obtain the second order diffraction solution of vertical cylinder of circular cross section. The improper integral over the free surface is tackled carefully. The singularity at the free surface is overcome effectively using a third order nonlinear transformation. Numerical results for free surface elevations compare well with the published data.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15Analysis of a Corner Layer Problem in Anisotropic Interfaces(Southwest Missouri State University, 2006) Alikakos, N. D.; Bates, P. W.; Cahn, J. W.; Fife, P. C.; Fusco, G.; Tanoğlu, GamzeWe investigate a model of anisotropic diffuse interfaces in ordered FCC crystals introduced recently by Braun et al and Tanoglu et al [3, 18, 19], focusing on parametric conditions which give extreme anisotropy. For a reduced model, we prove existence and stability of plane wave solutions connecting the disordered FCC state with the ordered Cu3Au state described by solutions to a system of three equations. These plane wave solutions correspond to planar interfaces. Different orientations of the planes in relation to the crystal axes give rise to different surface energies. Guided by previous work based on numerics and formal asymptotics, we reduce this problem in the six dimensional phase space of the system to a two dimensional phase space by taking advantage of the symmetries of the crystal and restricting attention to solutions with corresponding symmetries. For this reduced problem a standing wave solution is constructed that corresponds to a transition that, in the extreme anisotropy limit, is continuous but not differentiable. We also investigate the stability of the constructed solution by studying the eigenvalue problem for the linearized equation. We find that although the transition is stable, there is a growing number 0(1/ε), of critical eigenvalues, where 1/ε ≫ 1 is a measure of the anisotropy. Specifically we obtain a discrete spectrum with eigenvalues λn = ε2/3 μn with μn ∼ Cn2/3, as n → +∞. The scaling characteristics of the critical spectrum suggest a previously unknown microstructural instability.
