The investigation of deformation waves behavior in elastic shells is one of the important trends in the contemporary wave dynamics. There exist mathematical models of wave motions in infinitely long geometrically non-linear shells, containing viscous incompressible liquid based on the related hydroelasticity problems, which are derived by the shells dynamics and viscous incompressible liquid equations in the form of centralized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations. In addition, mathematical models or the wave process in infinitely long geometrically non-linear coaxial cylindrical elastic shells are obtained by the perturbation method. These models differ from the known ones by the consideration of incompressible liquid between the shells, based on the related hydroelasticity problems. These problems are described by shell dynamics and viscous incompressible liquid equations with corresponding edge conditions in the form of generalized KdV equations system. The paper presents the investigation of wave occurrences in two geometrically non-linear elastic coaxial cylindrical shells of Kirchhoff-Love type, containing viscous incompressible liquid both in between and inside, and surrounded by an elastic medium, acting in both normal and longitudinal directions. The difference schemes of Crank-Nicholson type are obtained for the considered equations system by taking into account liquid impact and with the help of Grobner basis construction. To generate these difference schemes, the basic integral difference correlations, approximating initial equations system, were used.

We considered models of three identical atoms in a line with molecular pair interactions and diatomic molecule scattered by an atom or tunneling through potential barriers. The models are formulated as 2D elliptic boundary-value problems (BVPs) in the Jacobi and polar coordinates. The BVP in Jacobi coordinates solved by finite element method of high-order accuracy for discrete spectrums of models under consideration. To solve the scattering problems the BVP in polar coordinates are reduced by means of Kantorovich method to a system of second-order ordinary differential equations with respect to the radial variable using the expansion of the desired solutions in the set of angular basis functions that depend on the radial variable as a parameter. The efficiency of the elaborated method, algorithms and programs is demonstrated by benchmark calculations of the resonance scattering, metastable and bound states of the considered models and also by a comparison of results for bound states of the three atomic system in the framework of direct solving the BVP by FEM and Kantorovich reduction.

Light interacts with materials in a variety of ways; this article focuses on determination of refraction and absorption characterized by a material’s refractive index. We discuss some of the useful models for the frequency dependence of the refractive index, and practical approaches to calculating refractive indices of thin films and thick substrates. The efficiency of manufacturing of existing and successful creation of new devices of solid-state micro- and nanoelectronics largely depends on the level of development of the technology for manufacturing layers of various materials with a thickness of several nanometers to tens of micrometers. A high degree of perfection of layered structures and particularly structures based on dielectric and/or metallic films with nanometer thickness is needed for their successful application in micro-, nano-, acousto-, microwave and optoelectronics. It is impossible to achieve high degree of perfection without the use of high-precision methods of measuring electrophysical parameters of dielectric and semiconductor materials and structures, metallic films. We have developed the program “Multilayer”, which serves both to simulate the propagation of light through multilayer thin-film layered media, and to determine the dielectric (permittivity tensor of anisotropic films) and geometric (physical and optical thicknesses of the film) parameters of various thin-film coatings. The base mathematical models applied for the description of the light wave propagation through a homogeneous optical medium and for the determination of the optical characteristics of thin layers of optical materials based on the results of light intensity measurements are described. The main mathematical formalism employed in the program is based on solving the Maxwell’s equations for propagation of light through anisotropic stratified media. The algorithm uses the Berreman matrices of order

Due to the rapidly growing number of user’s equipments, operating in the LTE (Long-Term Evolution) mobile radio network, it became necessary to find methods to reduce the user load and signaling message’s traffic. New rules and procedures of devices communication are created to downsize network resources. This article explores the procedure for establishing a connection between mobile user’s equipment and the LTE base station. Such possible solution of transferring small data generated by machine-to-machine connections (M2M, Machine-to-Machine) was presented in the technical report TR 37.868 of the 3GPP consortium (3rd Generation Partnership Project). This approach implies the use of the random access channel (RACH) to interconnect between devices. Effective usage of the procedure for establishing a connection through a random access radio channel is based on the analysis of time-probability characteristics, such as the access success probability and failed access probability, average access delay. In this article we proposed analytical model in term of Markov chain to find these characteristics and present numerical analysis, considering collisions of preamble message, retransmissions of signalling messages and the boundary conditions on the number of possible retransmissions. The accuracy of the proposed analytical model was verified using programming environment R.

Article is devoted to search of algebraic integrals of the ordinary differential equations in the systems of computer algebra. The main attention is paid to development of practical instructions for work with an original package for Sage called in honor of M. N. Lagutinski. At the beginning of article Beaune’s problem is formulated: for a given differential equation, we need to identify whether it is in the form of rational integral, and if the answer is true, we need to quadrature it. The difficulties of finding the upper bound of the integral order and its value for solving differential equations practically are discussed, bounded Beaune’s problem is formulated. Our work is based on the method of M. N. Lagutinski. The theory and its realization are tested on the problems from Text-Book on Differential Equations by A. F. Filippov. The numerical experiments, which were carried out, show that the method makes it possible to identify the existence of the rational integral without taking much resources and time. However, using the method to calculate integrals is very time-consuming. In conclusion, recommendations on the optimal use of the method of Lagutinski are given. All calculations are executed in the computer algebra system Sage.
