The objective of this article is to derive an analytical solution for a two-dimensional temperature field in a hollow cylinder, which is subjected to a periodic boundary condition at the outer surface, while the inner surface is insulated. The material is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic with time-independent thermal properties. Because of the time-dependent term in the boundary condition, Duhamel's theorem is used to solve the problem for a periodic boundary condition. The periodic boundary condition is decomposed using the Fourier series. This condition is simulated with harmonic oscillation; however, there are some differences with the real situation. To solve this problem, first of all the boundary condition is assumed to be steady. By applying the method of separation of variables, the temperature distribution in a hollow cylinder can be obtained. Then, the boundary condition is assumed to be transient. In both these cases, the solutions are separately calculated. By using Duhamel's theorem, the temperature distribution field in a hollow cylinder is obtained. The final result is plotted with respect to the Biot and Fourier numbers. There is good agreement between the results of the proposed method and those reported by others for this geometry under a simple harmonic boundary condition.

Here we consider the initial-boundary value problems in a homogeneous cylindrical domain YI Ω ×+ ( Ω+ is an open two-dimensional bounded simply connected domain with a boundary 5 ∂Ω ∈C , 2 \ Ω≡ Ω − + R is the open exterior of the domain Ω+ , [0, ] YI ≡ Y is the height of the cylinder) on a time interval [0, ] TI ≡ T . The initial conditions and the boundary conditions on the bases of the cylinder are zero, and the boundary conditions on the lateral surface of the cylinder are given by the function 1 2 wx x yt ( , , ,) ( 1 2 (, ) x x ∈∂Ω , Y y ∈ I , T t I ∈ ). An approximate solution of such problems is obtained through the combined use of the Fourier method and the collocation boundary element method based on piecewise quadratic interpolation (PQI). The solution to the problem in the cylinder is expanded in a Fourier series in terms of eigenfunctions of the operator 2 By yy ≡ ∂ with the corresponding zero boundary conditions. The coefficients of such a Fourier series are solutions of problems for two-dimensional heat equations 2 2 t ∇ =∂ + u u ku . With a low smoothness of the functions w in the variable y, the weight of solutions at large values of k increases and the accuracy of solving the problem in the cylinder decreases. To maintain accuracy on a uniform grid, the step of discretization of the boundary function w with respect to the variable y is decreased by a factor of j. Here j is an averaged value of the quantity Y k π depending on the function w. In addition, the steps of discretization of functions ( ) 2 exp − τ k with respect to the variable τ in domains τ≤πT k are reduced by a factor of 2 2 k π . The steps in the remaining ranges of values τ and the steps by the other variables remain unchanged. The approximate solutions obtained on the basis of this procedure converge stably to exact solutions in the 2 ( ) LI I Y T × -norm with a cubic velocity uniformly with respect to sets of functions w, bounded by norm of functions with low smoothness in the variable y, uniformly along the length of the generatrix of the cylinder Y , and uniformly in the domain Ω . The latter is also associated with the use of PQI along the curve ∂Ω over the variable 2 2 ρ≡ − r d , which is carried out at small values of r ( d and r are the distances from the observed point of the domain Ω to the boundary ∂Ω and to the current point of integration along ∂Ω , respectively). The theoretical conclusions are confirmed by the results of the numerical solution of the problem in a circular cylinder, where the dependence of the boundary functions w on y is given by the normalized eigenfunctions of the differential operator By which vary in a sufficiently large range of values of k .

A two-dimensional mathematical model estimating the torque of a Halbach Array surface permanent magnet (SPM) motor with a non-overlapping winding layout is developed. The magnetic field domain for the two-dimensional (2-D) motor model is divided into five regions: slots, slot openings, air gap, rotor magnets and rotor back iron. Applying the separation of variable method, an expression of magnetic vector potential distribution can be represented as Fourier series. By considering the interface and boundary conditions connecting the proposed regions, the Fourier series constants are determined. The proposed model offers a computationally efficient approach to analyze SPM motor designs including those having a Halbach Array. Since the tooth-tip and slots parameters are included in the model, the electromagnetic performance of an SPM motor, described using the cogging torque, back-EMF and electromagnetic torque, can be calculated as function of the slots and tooth-tips effects. The proposed analytical predictions are compared with results obtained from finite-element analysis. Finally, a performance comparison between a conventional and Halbach Array SPM motor is performed.

Abstract We discuss some convergence and divergence properties of twodimensional (Nörlund) logarithmic means of two-dimensional Walsh–Fourier series of functions both in the uniform and in the Lebesgue norm. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence regarding the modulus of continuity of the function, and also the function space.

In the framework of quantum probability, we present a simple geometrical mechanism which gives rise to binomial distributions, Gaussian distributions, Poisson distributions, and their interrelation. More specifically, by virtue of coherent states and a toy analogue of the Bargmann transform, we calculate the probability distributions of the position observable and the Hamiltonian arising in the representation of the classic group SU(2). This representation may be viewed as a constrained harmonic oscillator with a two-dimensional sphere as the phase space. It turns out that both the position observable and the Hamiltonian have binomial distributions, but with different asymptotic behaviours: with large radius and high spin limit, the former tends to the Gaussian while the latter tends to the Poisson.
