Decay to asymptotic steady state in one-dimensional logistic-like mappings is characterized by considering a phenomenological description supported by numerical simulations and confirmed by a theoretical description. As the control parameter is varied bifurcations in the fixed points appear. We verified at the bifurcation point in both; the transcritical, pitchfork and period-doubling bifurcations, that the decay for the stationary point is characterized via a homogeneous function with three critical exponents depending on the nonlinearity of the mapping. Near the bifurcation the decay to the fixed point is exponential with a relaxation time given by a power law whose slope is independent of the nonlinearity. The formalism is general and can be extended to other dissipative mappings.
A dynamical phase transition from integrability to non-integrability for a family of 2-D Hamiltonian mappings whose angle, θ , diverges in the limit of vanishingly action, I, is characterised. The mappings are described by two parameters: (i) , controlling the transition from integrable ( = 0) to non-integrable ( = 0); and (ii) γ , denoting the power of the action in the equation which defines the angle. We prove the average action is scaling invariant with respect to either or n and obtain a scaling law for the three critical exponents.
h i g h l i g h t sA physical air-entraining method has been reported. The properties of high porosity cement-based foam materials have been investigated. Influence of water-cement ratio and HPMC on material properties has been analyzed. Pore structure formation mechanism has been clarified.
a b s t r a c tHigh porosity cement-based foam materials were prepared through physical air-entraining method and the pore structure and the properties of materials were characterized. The results show that water-cement ratio and Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) content have crucial influence on material properties. When the water-cement ratio was 0.9 and the content of HPMC was 0.4%, the cement-based foam material with the porosity of 94.33% and thermal conductivity value of 0.049 W/(m K) could be obtained. The formation mechanism of pore structure was analyzed that water-cement ratio and HPMC content affect the bubble film toughness which influence on material properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
