The Lagrangian field-antifield formalism of Batalin and Vilkovisky (BV) is used to investigate the application of the collec- tive coordinate method to soliton quantisation. In field theories with soliton solutions, the Gaussian fluctuation operator has zero modes due to the breakdown of global symmetries of the Lagrangian in the soliton solutions. It is shown how Noether identities and local symmetries of the Lagrangian arise when collective coordinates are introduced in order to avoid divergences related to these zero modes. This transformation to collective and fluctuation degrees of freedom is interpreted as a canonical transformation in the symplectic field-antifield space which induces a time-local gauge symmetry. Separating the corresponding Lagrangian path integral of the BV scheme in lowest order into harmonic quantum fluctuations and a free motion of the collective coordinate with the classical mass of the soliton, we show how the BV approach clarifies the relation between zero modes, collective coordinates, gauge invariance and the center- of-mass motion of classical solutions in quantum fields. Finally, we apply the procedure to the reduced nonlinear O(3) oe-model.^L
This article will discuss a qualitative, topological and robust world-modelling technique with special regard to navigation-tasks for mobile robots operating in unknownenvironments. As a central aspect, the reliability regarding error-tolerance and stability will be emphasized. Benefits and problems involved in exploration, as well as in navigation tasks, are discussed. The proposed method demands very low constraints for the kind and quality of the employed sensors as well as for the kinematic precision of the utilized mobile platform. Hard real-time constraints can be handled due to the low computational complexity. The principal discussions are supported by real-world experiments with the mobile robot
Die Theorie der mehrdimensionalen Systeme ist ein relativ junges Forschungsgebiet innerhalb der Systemtheorie, erste Arbeiten stammen aus den 70er Jahren. Hauptmotiv für das Studium multidimensionaler Systeme war die Notwendigkeit einer Erweiterung der Theorie der digitalen Filter, die in der klassischen, eindimensionalen Signalverarbeitung (zeitabhängige Signale) Anwendung finden, auf den Bereich der Bildverarbeitung, also auf zweidimensionale Signale.; Die Vorlesung beschäftigt sich daher in ihrem ersten Teil mit skalaren zweidimensionalen Systemen und beschränkt sich im wesentlichen auf den linearen Fall. Untersucht werden zweidimensionale Filter, ihre wichtigsten Eigenschaften, Kausalität und Stabilität, sowie ihre Zustandsraum- realisierungen, etwa die Modelle von Roesser und Fornasini-Marchesini. Parallelen und Unterschiede zur eindimensionalen Systemtheorie werden betont.; Im zweiten Teil der Vorlesung werden allgemeine höherdimensionale und multivariable Systeme behandelt. Für diese Systeme erweist sich der von Jan Willems begründete Zugang zur Systemtheorie, der sogenannte behavioral approach, als zweckmäßig. Grundlegende Ideen dieses Ansatzes sowie eine der wichtigsten Methoden zum Rechnen mit Polynomen in mehreren Variablen, die Theorie der Gröbnerbasen, werden vorgestellt.
Fallbasiertes Schliessen (engl.: Case-based Reasoning) hat in den vergangenen Jahren zunehmende Bedeutung für den praktischen Einsatz in realen Anwendungsbereichen erlangt. In dieser Arbeit werden zunächst die allgemeine Vorgehensweise und die verschiedenen Teilaufgaben des fallbasierten Schliessens vorgestellt. Anschliessend wird auf die charakteristischen Eigenschaften eines Anwendungsbereiches eingegangen und an der konkreten Aufgabe der Kreditwürdigkeitsprüfung die Realisierung eines fallbasierten Ansatzes in der Finanzwelt beschrieben.
The magnetic anisotropy of Co/Cu~001! films has been investigated by the magneto-optical Kerr effect, both in the pseudomorphic growth regime and above the critical thickness where strain relaxation sets in. A clear correlation between the onset of strain relaxation as measured by means of reflection high-energy electron diffraction and changes of the magnetic anisotropy has been found.
Die zunehmende Zerstörung der Natur durch die Auswirkungen von Produktion und Konsum, die steigende Sensibilität der Bevölkerung für ökologische Themen sowie eine verschärfte Umweltgesetzgebung führen im Management der Unternehmen zu einem stärkeren Umwelt bewußtsein. Dabei wird immer häufiger versucht, den Belangen der Umwelt durch die Inte gration ökologischer Aspekte in die Unternehmenspolitik Rechnung zu tragen. Das Ziel eines derartigen betrieblichen Umweltmanagements ist es, umweltrelevante Schwachstellen des Unternehmens zu erkennen, um Ansatzpunkte für eine Verbesserung der ökolo gischen Situation zu erhalten und diese umzusetzen.
We present results of anisotropy and exchange-coupling studies of asymmetric Co/Cr/Fe trilayers and superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Cr~001!/Mg~001! buffers and substrates. The magnetic properties have been investigated using both the longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect and ferromagnetic resonance. The hysteresis data obtained from the trilayer system were fit to a theoretical model which contains both bilinear and biquadratic coupling. The effective in-plane anisotropy was found to be of fourfold symmetry with the same easy-axis orientation for both the Fe and Co layers. An analysis of the easy-axis hysteresis loops indicates long-period oscillatory coupling and also suggests a short periodic coupling. We show that weakly antiferromagnetically coupled asymmetric films might serve as potential candidates for improved spin-valve systems.
The paper presents some new estimates on the gain term of the Boltzmann collision operator. For Maxwellian molecules, it is shown that the L -norm of the gain term can be bounded in terms of the L1 and L -norm of the density function f. In the case of more general collision kernels, like the hard-sphere interaction potential, the gain term is estimated pointwise by the L -norm of the density function and the loss term of the Boltzmann collision operator.
Some formulae, containing logarithmic derivatives of (smooth) measures on infinitedimensional spaces, arise in quite different situations. In particular, logarithmic derivatives of a measure are inserted in the Schr"odinger equastion in the space consisting of functions that are square integrable with respect to this measure, what allows us to describe very simply a procedure of (canonical) quantization of infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with the linear phase space. Further, the problem of reconstructing of a measure by its logarithmic derivative (that was posed in [1] independently of any applications) can be equivalent either to the problem of finding the "ground state" (considered as some measure) for infinite-dimensional Schr"odinger equation, or to the problem of finding an invariant measure for a stochastic differential equation (that is a central question of so-called stochastic quantization), or to the problem of recenstruc ting "Gibbsian measure by its specification" (i.e. by a collection of finite-dimensional conditional distributions). Logarithmic derivatives of some measure appear in Cameron-Martin-Girsanov-Maruyama formulae and in its generalizations related to arbitrary smooth measures; they allow also to connect these formulae and the Feynman-Kac formulae. This note discusses all these topics. Of course due to its shortness the presentation is formal in main, and precise analitical assumptions are usually absent. Actually only a list of formulae with small comments is given. Let us mention also that we do not consider at all so-called Dirichlet forms to which a great deal of literature is devoted (cf. [3] and references therein to the works of S. Alberion and others).
