✦ Synopsis

We apply the Smaller ALignment Index (SALI) method to a four-dimensional mapping of accelerator dynamics in order to distinguish rapidly, reliably and accurately between ordered and chaotic motion. The main advantage of this index is that it tends exponentially to zero in the case of chaotic orbits, while it fluctuates around non-zero values in the case of quasiperiodic trajectories. Thus, it avoids the notorious ambiguities concerning the eventual convergence of (maximum) Lyapunov exponents to (positive) non-zero values. Exploiting the different behavior of SALI in these two cases we produce phase space 'charts' where regions of chaos and order are clearly identified. Evaluating the percentage of chaotic and escaping orbits as a function of the distance from the origin we are able to estimate rapidly and accurately the boundaries of the dynamical aperture of a proton beam, passing repeatedly through an array of magnetic focusing elements.

The harmonic function in the open unit disc D = {z ∈ C||z| < 1} can be written as a sum of an analytic and an anti-analytic function, f = h(z) + g(z), where h(z) and g(z) are analytic functions in D, and are called the analytic part and co-analytic part of f , respectively.

In this paper the problem of using measured modal parameters to detect and locate damage in plate-like structures is investigated. Many methods exist for locating damage in a structure given the modal properties before and after damage. Unfortunately, many of these methods require a correlated ®nite

When the sparse-matrix/canonical grid (SMCG) method is applied to analyse scattering of randomly positioned dielectric spheroids, the impedance matrix is decomposed into a strong interaction matrix and a weak interaction matrix. The strong interaction portion of the matrix-vector multiplication is c
