However, the values of R extracted in this way are less reliable than Rq obtained above from asymptotic analysis, not only because this is a pseudocontact model but also because of uncertainty in v [104]. The rigorous alternative to this model is the straightforward calculation of r from Eq. (3.10), using in Eq. (3.4) an exact k(t) obtained as a solution of the DET equations (3.34) and (3.35). The authentic concentration dependence of k(c) obtained with contact DET will be compared in Section XII.B with other estimates of the same quantity made with a number of competing theories and approximations.

It has been shown (Adler et al. 1990) from a rigorous asymptotic, lubrication-theory analysis that lubrication concepts cannot lead to a singular behavior of the viscosity of a spatially periodic suspension in which layers of particles slide past one another. This means that the use of Eq. (9.3.8), for example, which employs lubrication concepts to characterize suspension viscosity is limited to suspensions where particle layering does not take place, for example, where the microstructure is random. 

We carry out an analysis of the spectrum the Hiickel model of dimerized polyacetylene, both for cycUc and open chain boundary conditions, with special emphasis on the linear polyene with odd number of ir bonds. We also perform explicit perturbation expansion up to second order in the nuclear displacements. The asymptotic analysis of first- and second-order perturbation theory reveals that some behaviours assumed in the literature are not correct. 

Meyer was known for his researeh in asymptotic analysis, partial differential equations, plasma physics, water waves, meteorology, and in gas dynamics. In the latter field he explored supercritical nozzle flows. In water waves theory, the fundamental hydraulics were studied in collaboration with Joseph B. Keller (1923-), including wave refraction and resonance, extending short wave asymptotics to obtain notable advances in the spatial theory of the classical water waves with applications to both coastal and shelf oceanography. He was a member of the Australian Academy of Sciences. Meyer was an individualist who marched to no one s drum but his own. 

Asymptotic analysis is not rigorous in mathematics. One needs to prove further the convergence of q> to as e goes to zero. This could be done by some techniques, e.g. the F-convergence theory [28], which is a useful tool to prove the convergence of a sequence of variational problems [17]. 

One possibility for improving the theory is to take into account higher order terms in the virial expansion. This has been done by Mulder for an aligned hard-rod fluid [66]. Mulder has taken into account the third- and fourth-order terms and has been able to obtain the numerical values of the transition density and the smectic period in very good agreement with the results of computer simulations [67]. The critical packing fraction and the dimensionless smectic wavelength observed are rjf ji =036 and 1.27 while the theoretical results are tlN-A 0-37 and A =1.34 [66]. Recently Poniwierski performed an asymptotic analysis of the nematic-smectic A transition in the system of... 

One would be in an ad-hoc fashion to assume that, because of the tendency toward interpenetration, near the crack tips the crack surfaces would come in smooth contact and form a cusp, and the resulting contact region would consist of a single uninterrupted zone rather than the sum of a series of discrete zones as implied by the oscillatory nature of the elastic solution (see Comninou [ll], Atkinson [l2]). Another way is to assume that near the crack tip the linear theory is not valid and to use a large deformation nonlinear theory. An asymptotic analysis using such a theory was provided by Knowles and Sternberg [l3] for the plane stress interface crack problem in two bonded dissimilar incompressible Neo-Hookean materials which shows no oscillatory behavior for stresses or... 

Here one solves the Boltzmann equation, known from the kinetic theory of gases, in a fully discretized fashion. Space is discretized into a regular array of lattice sites, time is discretized, and velocities are chosen such that one time step will connect only nearby lattice sites. Free streaming along the lattice links alternates with local on-site collisions. Care must be taken to restore isotropy and Galilean invariance in the hydrodynamic Umit, and asymptotic analysis is an indispensable tool in this process. Further details will be provided in the following sections. 

R. Although expressions for this parameter exist, they are derived by a hybrid of molecular mechanical and thermodynamic arguments which are not at present known to be consistent as droplet size decreases (8). An analysis of the size limitation of the validity of these arguments has, to our knowledge, never been attempted. Here we evaluate these expressions and others which are thought to be only asymptotically correct. Ve conclude, from the consistency of these apparently independent approaches, that the surface of tension, and, therefore, the surface tension, can be defined with sufficient certainty in the size regime of the critical embryo of classical nucleation theory.
