Problems of nonlinear dynamics: II. Suppression of chaos and control of dynamical systems
Problems of nonlinear dynamics: II. Suppression of chaos and control of dynamical systems
A.Yu. Loskutov
The second part of the paper (The first part entitled "Problems of Nonlinear Dynamics: I. Chaos" is published in Moscow University Phys. Bull., no. 2, p. 1, 2001) concerned with the newest problems of nonlinear dynamics is a survey of recent results on the theory of control of nonlinear (in particular, chaotic) dynamical systems and suppression of chaos. Modern approaches to stabilizing the unstable behavior of deterministic systems and methods for bringing dynamical systems into a given mode of motion best suited for applications have been described.

Passive scalar transfer in stochastic steady flow
S.V. Novikov, D.D. Sokolov
Passive scalar behavior in a turbulent flow is compared with that in a steady flow of liquid with stochastic trajectories. Mixing of the admixture distribution with speed determined by turbulent diffusion is replaced, in a steady flow, by a phase of catastrophically fast leveling of admixture gradients.

Threshold reactions in crossed constant electromagnetic field with nonzero invariant $E^2-H^2$
V.N. Rodionov, A.M. Mandel
Influence of an external static electromagnetic field of special configuration (a superposition of a crossed ($E=H$) and a magnetic field) on certain processes of quantum electrodynamics, nonlinear phenomena in atomic physics and on a number of processes in semiconductor physics has been considered. A fundamental difference in influence produced by the crossed and the magnetic field on the probability of the reactions in question has been. demonstrated. A simple algorithm has been described that allows us to pass from the results valid for nonrelativistic limit in a crossed constant field to the case of the field with nonzero invariant $E^2-H^2\ne0$.

V.Ch. Zhukovsky, I.V. Mamsurov
The definition of a magnetic field with finite helicity and its correspondence to the topological Chern-Simons (CS) charge of the initial non-Abelian pure gauge field configuration has been considered. Zero-mode solutions of the Dirac equation have been obtained. Their properties have been investigated.

Show AbstractModulation method of generating classical squeezed states
Modulation method of generating classical squeezed states
Yu.E. D'yakov
A new method of realization of transformations of the type "unsqueezed state <--> squeezed state" has been suggested and analyzed, in which a simple linear system with a modulator (an M-system) is used. It has been shown that the M-system is phase sensitive for a harmonic signal, namely, in this case the amplitude of the output signal can essentially depend on the phase of the input signal.

Aperture effects in laser beams propagating through atmospheric channels with intermittent turbulence
T.I. Arsenyan, A.M. Zotov, P.V. Korolenko, M.S. Maganova, A.V. Mesnyankin
The influence of aperture of collimated laser beams propagating through atmospheric channels under the conditions of intermittent turbulence on the transformation of their space-time structure has been experimentally investigated. It has been found that there exists a critical value of beam exit aperture approximating the size of the first Fresnel zone of the channel, the excess of which results in stochastic radiation. The change of statistical characteristics of radiation for the near-critical aperture has been considered.

Dynamics of gas flows in long microchannels
K.V. Zhukovskii
Steady flow of three-dimensional compressible isothermal flows in long microchannels has been considered with due regard for molecular effects. Using the expansions of the Navier-Stokes equation in terms of a small parameter (channel height-to-length ratio), the solutions for streamlined velocity, pressure distribution and mass flow have been obtained. The influence of compressibility and rarefaction effects on gas flow dynamics as well as the influence of the flow slipping on the tracer scale along the channel walls on pressure, velocity profiles, and mass transfer have been studied.

Relationship between exchange and relativistic energies defining linear magnetoelectric effect in Cr$_2$O$_3$ antiferromagnet
S.S. Krotov, A.V. Lisnyak
The linear magnetoelectric effect in $\mathrm{Cr_2O_3}$ 3 within the framework of a phenomenological approach has been considered. The longitudinal (an external field is parallel to the three-fold axis) and the transverse part of the effect in $\mathrm{Cr_2O_3}$ are shown to be dictated by the exchange and relativistic interactions, respectively. This explains the change in the magnetoelectric effect tensor $\alpha_{ij}$ under the spin-flop transition and determines the toroidal moment $\textbf{T}$ vector components which are other than zero in the $\mathrm{Cr_2O_3}$ spin-Hop phase.

A smooth transition from one dielectric response mechanism to another caused by frequency and temperature variations and the fulfillment of the universal fractal-power law for the $\lg\epsilon'(\lg\omega)$ and $\lg\epsilon''(\lg\omega)$ dependences have been demonstrated by the example of low-frequency dielectric dispersion of triglycineselenate single crystals near the Curie point.
