The propagation of modes in a smoothly non-uniform Timoshenko beam is considered. We present an asymptotic theory of interaction of two modes whose phase velocities intersect at a single point and are non-tangent there. The high-frequency regime in the time-harmonic case and propagation of discontinuities are both considered.

The following problem is studied. Consider two linear homogeneous second-order ordinary differential equations of the form ry''+r'y'=fy (eqn.1) and ru''+r'u'=gu (eqn.2). These equations are chosen to be formally self-adjoint. The function /spl upsi/(z) is defined as a product of the arbitrary solutions y(z) and g(z) of these equations. /spl upsi/:=yu. It is assumed that the functions r(z), f(z), and g(z) are analytical functions. Moreover, if applications to special functions are studied then r(z) may be taken a polynomial, and f(z) g(z) are fractions of two polynomials. The question arises: what is the differential equation for which the function /spl upsi/(z) is a solution? A more sophisticated question is: is there a differential equation for which singularities are located only at the points where singularities of eqs. 1 and 2 are? These are discussed.

We consider the diffraction of shortwave radiation by a convex body with the boundary having a jump of curvature. In cross-section the boundary consists of two parts: convex and planar, smoothly joined. A special case of diffraction by the curve with the curvature jump is under consideration: the jump point is situated in the penumbra region. Using asymptotic methods we obtain new formulae for the wave field in the main approximation in problems with Dirichlet, Neumann and impedance boundary conditions.

The question of uniqueness for problems describing the interaction of submerged bodies with an ideal unbound fluid is far from resolution. In the present work a new criterion of uniqueness is suggested based on Green's integral identity and the maximum principle for elliptic differential equations. The criterion is formulated as an inequality involving integrals of the Green's function over bodies' wetted contours, and when being satisfied guarantees uniqueness of the problem. This criterion is quite general and applicable for any number of bodies of arbitrary shape (satisfying the exterior sphere condition) and in any dimension.

The problem of describing a negative spectrum of the periodic self-adjoint Schroedinger operator is very popular in quantum mechanics and it is called the tight-binding approximation. Our aim is to show that the main aspects of the theory are illustrated by a very simple one-dimensional example of minus the second derivative with arbitrary boundary conditions at the vertices of the lattice. We consider one-dimensional Schroedinger equation.

We consider the ordinary differential equation of the second order x/spl uml/+/spl psi/(/spl epsi/t) sin(x-/spl phi/(/spl epsi/t))=0 with the coefficients /spl psi/ and /spl phi/ depending slowly on time. By using a Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB)-like method we construct two asymptotic series for a general solution of the equation in the limit /spl epsi//spl rarr/0 (adiabatic limit). One of them is true when the variable t is far from the zeroes of the coefficient /spl psi/ and the other one is valid in the neighborhoods of these these zeroes.

The solution of the Schro/spl uml/dinger equation with potential sin /spl phi//r ((r,/spl phi/)-polar coordinates) presents serious mathematical difficulties which so far have prevented the reliable calculation of the electrical resistivity of edge dislocations in metals. The nature of the difficulties is analyzed by studying related, explicitly solvable problems and by physical reasoning. It is argued that a complete solution will show a logarithmic dependence on an external cut-off radius and that this may account for the experimental results. A recursion-formula approach based on Hankel transformations and a mathematical technique originally developed for Mathieu functions promise to permit a full solution of the scattering problem.

A two-dimensional body moves forward with constant velocity in an inviscid incompressible fluid under gravity. The fluid consists of two layers having different densities, and the body intersection interface between the layers. The boundary value problem for the velocity potential is considered in the framework of linearized water-wave theory. The problem is augmented by a pair of physically justified supplementary conditions at points where the body intersects the interface. The extended problem is reduced to an integro-algebraic system. The solvability of the system is proved.
