Title: Adomian decomposition method reformulated using dimensionless nonlinear perturbation theory
The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is a universal approach to solving governing equations in various engineering and technological applications. The applicability of the ADM is almost limitless due to its universal applicability, but its convergence rate and numerical accuracy are sensitive to the number of truncated terms in series solutions. More importantly, Adomian formalism still holds unresolved issues regarding the mismatch of the order of the expansion parameter. The current work provides an in-depth analysis of Adomian's decomposition method, Lyapunov's stability theory, and the nonlinear perturbation theory to resolve the fundamental mismatch with physical interpretation.  more » « less

  1. In this study, we present an efficient integral decomposition approach called the restricted-kinetic-balance resolution-of-the-identity (RKB-RI) algorithm, which utilizes a tunable RI method based on the Cholesky integral decomposition for in-core relativistic quantum chemistry calculations. The RKB-RI algorithm incorporates the restricted-kinetic-balance condition and offers a versatile framework for accurate computations. Notably, the Cholesky integral decomposition is employed not only to approximate symmetric large-component electron repulsion integrals but also those involving small-component basis functions. In addition to comprehensive error analysis, we investigate crucial conditions, such as the kinetic balance condition and variational stability, which underlie the applicability of Dirac relativistic electronic structure theory. We compare the computational cost of the RKB-RI approach with the full in-core method to assess its efficiency. To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the RKB-RI method proposed in this work, we employ actinyl oxides as benchmark systems, leveraging their properties for validation purposes. This investigation provides valuable insights into the capabilities and performance of the RKB-RI algorithm and establishes its potential as a powerful tool in the field of relativistic quantum chemistry.

  2. Abstract We present the first suite of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies for a dark sector that consists of cold dark matter and a strongly dissipative subcomponent. The simulations are implemented in GIZMO and include standard baryons following the FIRE-2 galaxy formation physics model. The dissipative dark matter is modeled as atomic dark matter (aDM), which forms a dark hydrogen gas that cools in direct analogy to the Standard Model. Our suite includes seven different simulations of ∼1010Msystems that vary over the aDM microphysics and the dwarf’s evolutionary history. We identify a region of aDM parameter space where the cooling rate is aggressive and the resulting halo density profile is universal. In this regime, the aDM gas cools rapidly at high redshifts, and only a small fraction survives in the form of a central dark gas disk; the majority collapses centrally into collisionless dark “clumps,” which are clusters of subresolution dark compact objects. These dark clumps rapidly equilibrate in the inner galaxy, resulting in an approximately isothermal distribution that can be modeled with a simple fitting function. Even when only a small fraction (∼5%) of the total dark matter is strongly dissipative, the central densities of classical dwarf galaxies can be enhanced by over an order of magnitude, providing a sharp prediction for observations.

  3. The model of an anisotropic interface in an elastic particulate composite with initial stress is developed as the first-order approximation of a transversely isotropic interphase between an isotropic matrix and spherical particles. The model involves eight independent parameters with a clear physical meaning and conventional dimensionality. This ensures its applicability at various length scales and flexibility in modeling the interfaces, characterized by the initial stress and discontinuity of the displacement and stress fields. The relevance of this model to the theory of material interfaces and its applicability in nanomechanics is discussed. The proposed imperfect interface model is incorporated in the unit cell model of a spherical particle composite with thermal stress owing to uniform temperature change. The rigorous solution to the model boundary value problem is obtained using the multipole expansion method. The reported accurate numerical data confirm the correctness of the developed theory, provide an estimate of its accuracy and applicability limits in the multiparticle environment, and reveal significant effects of the interphase or interface anisotropy and initial stress on the local fields and overall thermoelastic properties of the composite.

  4. Throughout many scientific and engineering fields, including control theory, quantum mechanics, advanced dynamics, and network theory, a great many important applications rely on the spectral decomposition of matrices. Traditional methods such as the power iteration method, Jacobi eigenvalue method, and QR decomposition are commonly used to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square and symmetric matrix. However, these methods suffer from certain drawbacks: in particular, the power iteration method can only find the leading eigen-pair (i.e., the largest eigenvalue and its corresponding eigenvector), while the Jacobi and QR decomposition methods face significant performance limitations when facing with large scale matrices. Typically, even producing approximate eigenpairs of a general square matrix requires at least O(N^3) time complexity, where N is the number of rows of the matrix. In this work, we exploit the newly developed memristor technology to propose a low-complexity, scalable memristor-based method for deriving a set of dominant eigenvalues and eigenvectors for real symmetric non-negative matrices. The time complexity for our proposed algorithm is O(N^2 /Δ) (where Δ governs the accuracy). We present experimental studies to simulate the memristor-supporting algorithm, with results demonstrating that the average error for our method is within 4%, while its performance is up to 1.78X better than traditional methods.

  5. Summary Nonparametric covariate adjustment is considered for log-rank-type tests of the treatment effect with right-censored time-to-event data from clinical trials applying covariate-adaptive randomization. Our proposed covariate-adjusted log-rank test has a simple explicit formula and a guaranteed efficiency gain over the unadjusted test. We also show that our proposed test achieves universal applicability in the sense that the same formula of test can be universally applied to simple randomization and all commonly used covariate-adaptive randomization schemes such as the stratified permuted block and the Pocock–Simon minimization, which is not a property enjoyed by the unadjusted log-rank test. Our method is supported by novel asymptotic theory and empirical results for Type-I error and power of tests.
