In order to attain a satisfactory reproduction in physical and numerical models of Nature's sea states, much development of the description of these sea states has to take place. This paper gives a discussion (i) of the problems that can be considered as solved today, and (ii) of the problem areas where much research is still needed. Firstly, the paper presents the basic definition of the directional spread of energy (for a given frequency) as derived from a field record. This definition is necessarily a statistical one and leads directly to the determination in practice of the directional spectrum. Secondly, the parameterization of spectra is discussed and it is proposed to express one-dimensional storm spectra by means of the four -parameter F.1 .-spectrum, which is more manageable than the JONSWAP-spectrum. Thirdly, it is concluded that the first order components of any spectrum have random phases.

Finite Result

The principal-value (PV) integral has proved a useful tool in many fields of physics. The PV is a specific method for obtaining a finite result for an improper integral. When the integration passes through a simple pole, one speaks of a "first-order" PV. In this paper, we examine first-order PV integrals and analyze several of their important properties. First, we discuss how the PV agrees with one's naïve expectation about these integrals. Next, we show that the basic definition of the first-order PV gives a generalized formula for the complex-variable PV expression. Finally, we show the correspondence between the finite-limit PV integral of x–1 along the real axis and the path integral of z–1 (where z = x + iy) in the complex plane.PACS Nos.: 02.90.+p, 05.90.+m

Prediction Strategy

Summary We study predictions of reversals of Earth’s axial magnetic dipole field that are based solely on the dipole’s intensity. The prediction strategy is, roughly, that once the dipole intensity drops below a threshold, then the field will continue to decrease and a reversal (or a major excursion) will occur. We first present a rigorous definition of an intensity threshold-based prediction strategy and then describe a mathematical and numerical framework to investigate its validity and robustness in view of the data being limited. We apply threshold-based predictions to a hierarchy of numerical models, ranging from simple scalar models to 3D geodynamos. We find that the skill of threshold-based predictions varies across the model hierarchy. The differences in skill can be explained by differences in how reversals occur: if the field decreases towards a reversal slowly (in a sense made precise in this paper), the skill is high, and if the field decreases quickly, the skill is low. Such a property could be used as an additional criterion to identify which models qualify as Earth-like. Applying threshold-based predictions to Virtual Axial Dipole Moment (VADM) paleomagnetic reconstructions (PADM2M and Sint-2000) covering the last two million years, reveals a moderate skill of threshold-based predictions for Earth’s dynamo. Besides all of their limitations, threshold-based predictions suggests that no reversal is to be expected within the next 10 kyr. Most importantly, however, we show that considering an intensity threshold for identifying upcoming reversals is intrinsically limited by the dynamic behavior of Earth’s magnetic field.

AbstractThe deformability condition for submanifolds of fixed degree immersed in a graded manifold can be expressed as a system of first order PDEs. In the particular but important case of ruled submanifolds, we introduce a natural choice of coordinates, which allows to deeply simplify the formal expression of the system, and to reduce it to a system of ODEs along a characteristic direction. We introduce a notion of higher dimensional holonomy map in analogy with the one-dimensional case [29], and we provide a characterization for singularities as well as a deformability criterion.

We report off-shell Noether currents obtained from off-shell Noether potentials for first-order general relativity described by n-dimensional Palatini and Holst Lagrangians including the cosmological constant. These off-shell currents and potentials are achieved by using the corresponding Lagrangian and the off-shell Noether identities satisfied by diffeomorphisms generated by arbitrary vector fields, local SO(n) or SO(n−1,1) transformations, ‘improved diffeomorphisms’, and the ‘generalization of local translations’ of the orthonormal frame and the connection. A remarkable aspect of our approach is that we do not use Noether’s theorem in its direct form. By construction, the currents are off-shell conserved and lead naturally to the definition of off-shell Noether charges. We also study what we call the ‘half off-shell’ case for both Palatini and Holst Lagrangians. In particular, we find that the resulting diffeomorphism and local SO(3,1) or SO(4) off-shell Noether currents and potentials for the Holst Lagrangian generically depend on the Immirzi parameter, which holds even in the ‘half off-shell’ and on-shell cases. We also study Killing vector fields in the ‘half off-shell’ and on-shell cases. The current theoretical framework is illustrated for the ‘half off-shell’ case in static spherically symmetric and Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker spacetimes in four dimensions.

First Order Phase

Abstract Recent work has shown that certain deformations of the scalar potential in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity can be written as double-scaled matrix models. However, some of the deformations exhibit an apparent breakdown of unitarity in the form of a negative spectral density at disc order. We show here that the source of the problem is the presence of a multi-valued solution of the leading order matrix model string equation. While for a class of deformations we fix the problem by identifying a first order phase transition, for others we show that the theory is both perturbatively and non-perturbatively inconsistent. Aspects of the phase structure of the deformations are mapped out, using methods known to supply a non-perturbative definition of undeformed JT gravity. Some features are in qualitative agreement with a semi-classical analysis of the phase structure of two-dimensional black holes in these deformed theories.

Abstract Most analyses of fluid flow in porous media are conducted under the assumption that the permeability is constant. In some “stress-sensitive” rock formations, however, the variation of permeability with pore fluid pressure is sufficiently large that it needs to be accounted for in the analysis. Accounting for the variation of permeability with pore pressure renders the pressure diffusion equation nonlinear and not amenable to exact analytical solutions. In this paper, the regular perturbation approach is used to develop an approximate solution to the problem of flow to a linear constant-pressure boundary, in a formation whose permeability varies exponentially with pore pressure. The perturbation parameter αD is defined to be the natural logarithm of the ratio of the initial permeability to the permeability at the outflow boundary. The zeroth-order and first-order perturbation solutions are computed, from which the flux at the outflow boundary is found. An effective permeability is then determined such that, when inserted into the analytical solution for the mathematically linear problem, it yields a flux that is exact to at least first order in αD. When compared to numerical solutions of the problem, the result has 5% accuracy out to values of αD of about 2—a much larger range of accuracy than is usually achieved in similar problems. Finally, an explanation is given of why the change of variables proposed by Kikani and Pedrosa, which leads to highly accurate zeroth-order perturbation solutions in radial flow problems, does not yield an accurate result for one-dimensional flow. Article Highlights Approximate solution for flow to a constant-pressure boundary in a porous medium whose permeability varies exponentially with pressure. The predicted flowrate is accurate to within 5% for a wide range of permeability variations. If permeability at boundary is 30% less than initial permeability, flowrate will be 10% less than predicted by constant-permeability model.

Incorrect Usage

AbstractIn this paper I shall examine the use and misuse of some astronomical terminology as it is commonly found in the literature. The incorrect usage of common terms, and sometimes the terms themselves, can lead to confusion by the reader and may well indicate misconceptions by the authors. A basic definition of the Be phenomena is suggested and other stellar characteristics whose interpretation may change when used for non-spherical stars, is discussed. Special attention is paid to a number of terms whose semantic nature is misleading when applied to the phenomena they are intended to represent. The use of model-dependent terms is discussed and some comments are offered which are intended to improve the clarity of communication within the subject.

Person Game

Abstract We propose a new version of formula size game for modal logic. The game characterizes the equivalence of pointed Kripke models up to formulas of given numbers of modal operators and binary connectives. Our game is similar to the well-known Adler–Immerman game. However, due to a crucial difference in the definition of positions of the game, its winning condition is simpler, and the second player does not have a trivial optimal strategy. Thus, unlike the Adler–Immerman game, our game is a genuine two-person game. We illustrate the use of the game by proving a non-elementary succinctness gap between bisimulation invariant first-order logic $\textrm{FO}$ and (basic) modal logic $\textrm{ML}$. We also present a version of the game for the modal $\mu $-calculus $\textrm{L}_\mu $ and show that $\textrm{FO}$ is also non-elementarily more succinct than $\textrm{L}_\mu $.

We consider a general class of one-dimensional parabolic systems, mainly coupled in the diffusion term, which, in fact, can be of the degenerate type. We derive some new L1-gradient type estimates for its solutions which are uniform in the sense that they do not depend on the coefficients nor on the size of the spatial domain. We also give some applications of such estimates to gas dynamics, filtration problems, a p-Laplacian parabolic type equation and some first order systems of Hamilton–Jacobi or conservation laws type.
