The question of the interpretation of Wheeler-DeWitt solutions in the context of cosmological models is addressed by implementing the Hamiltonian constraint as a spinor wave equation in minisuperspace. We offer a relative probability interpretation based on a non-closed vector current in this space and a prescription for a parametrisation of classical solutions in terms of classical time. Such a prescription can accommodate classically degenerate metrics describing manifolds with signature change. The relative probability density, defined in terms of a Killing vector of the DeWitt metric on minisuperspace, should permit one to identify classical loci corresponding to geometries for a classical manifold. This interpretation is illustrated in the context of a quantum cosmology model for two-dimensional dilaton gravity.

The Kerr-Schild double copy in Lifshitz spacetime Alçak, Gökhan; Gümüş, Mehmet Kemal; Tek, Mustafa (2021-05-01) The Kerr-Schild double copy is a map between exact solutions of general relativity and Maxwell’s theory, where the nonlinear nature of general relativity is circumvented by considering solutions in the Kerr-Schild form. In this paper, we give a general formulation, where no simplifying assumption about the background metric is made, and show that the gauge theory source is affected by a curvature term that characterizes the deviation of the background spacetime from a constant curvature spacetime. We demons...
A new time-domain boundary element formulation for generalized models of viscoelasticity Akay, Ahmet Arda; Gürses, Ercan; Göktepe, Serdar (2023-05-01) The contribution is concerned with the novel algorithmic formulation for generalized models of viscoelasticity under quasi-static conditions within the framework of the boundary element method (BEM). The proposed update algorithm is constructed for a generic rheological model of linear viscoelasticity that can either be straightforwardly simplified to recover the basic Kelvin and Maxwell models or readily furthered towards the generalized models of viscoelasticity through the serial or parallel extensions. ...
General analysis of self-dual solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in (1+2) dimensions Dereli, T; Obukhov, YN (2000-07-15) The solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-Chem-Simons theory are studied in (1+2) dimensions with the self-duality condition imposed on the Maxwell field. We give a closed form of the general solution which is determined by a single function having the physical meaning of the quasilocal angular momentum of the solution. This function completely determines the geometry of spacetime, also providing the direct computation of the conserved total mass and angular momentum of the configurations.
A Non-Galerkin Spatial-Domain Approach for Efficient Calculation of the Dispersion Characteristics of Microstrip Lines Guedue, Tamer; Alatan, Lale (2008-07-11) In the analysis of dispersion characteristics of microstrip lines, spectral domain approaches has been preferred as opposed to the spatial domain calculations since the spatial domain Green's functions corresponding to the microstrip structure require the numerical evaluation of inverse Fourier transform integrals which are computationally expensive. However as demonstrated in Bernal, J. et al, (2000), the discrete complex image representation of the spatial domain Greenpsilas functions eliminates the need ...
The differential quadrature solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations using several time-integration schemes Meral, Gulnihal; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-04-01) Three different time-integration schemes, namely the finite difference method (FDM) with a relaxation parameter, the least-squares method (LSM) and the finite element method (FEM), are applied to the differential quadrature (DQM) solution of one-dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations. In the solution procedure, the space derivatives are discretized using DQM, which may also be used without the need of boundary conditions. The aim of the paper is to find computationally more efficient ti...
