The adsorption of helium on spherical cavities is investigated employing finite range density functional theory. It is known that for films outside spherical walls, a growth instability occurs above a critical film thickness. ...

We present a unified approach to the study of Radon transforms related to symmetric groups and to general linear groups GLn(q), regarded as q−analogues of the former. In both cases, we define a sequence of generalized ...

In a work published in this journal by Z.W. Wang, G.Z. Li, D.R. Guan, X.Z. Yi, and A.J. Lou [J. Colloid Interface Sci. 246 (2002) 302], an iterative method for the determination of the potential around a colloidal particle ...

The properties of excitons formed in spherical quantum dots are studied using the k⋅p method within the Hartree approximation. The spherical quantum dots considered have a central core and several concentric layers of ...

In 1964 Pommerenke introduced the notion of linear invariant family for locally injective analytic functions defined in the unit disk of the complex plane. Following Ma and Minda (who extended this notion to spherical ...

The main purpose of this paper is to compute all irreducible spherical functions on G = SL(2, ℂ) of arbitrary type δ ∈ K̂, where K = SU(2). This is accomplished by associating to a spherical function Φ on G a matrix valued ...

A new class of multivariate skew-normal distributions, fundamental skew-normal distributions and their canonical version, is developed. It contains the product of independent univariate skew-normal distributions as a special ...

In Part 1 we study the spherical functions on compact symmetric pairs of arbitrary rank under a suitable multiplicity freeness assumption and additional conditions on the branching rules. The spherical functions are taking ...
