Bonchev Str., Bl. 21, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract. The consideration of some non-standard parametric Lagrangian leads to a fictitious dynamical system which turns out to be equivalent to the Euler problem for finding out all possible shapes of the lamina. Integrating the respective differential equations one arrives at novel explicit parameteri- zations of the Euler’s elastica curves. The geometry of the inflexional elastica and especially that of the figure “eight” shape is studied in some detail and the close relationship between the elastica problem and mathematical pendulum is outlined. 1. Introduction The elastic behaviour of roads and beams which attracts a continuous attention since the time of Galileo, Bernoulli and Euler has generated recently a renewed interest in plane [2, 3, 15], space [18] and space forms [1, 11]. The first elastic problem was posed by Galileo around 1638 who asked the question about the force required to break a beam set into a wall. James (or Jakob) Bernoulli raised in 1687 the question concerning the shape of the beam and had also succeeded in solving the case of the so called rectangular elastica (second case from the top in Fig. 1). Later on in 1742 Daniel Bernoulli wrote a letter to Euler in which he had suggested to him to solve the general problem of the elastica. Following closely this sugges- tion Euler cast the problem in the variational form and presented the solution in an Appendix to his book on variational calculus which appeared in 1744. Euler begins his investigation with establishing the equation of static equilibrium of the “lamina” by means of the variational techniques developed in his treatise and then rederives it from mechanical principles developed earlier by James Bernoulli. The 175 176 Peter Djondjorov, Mariana Hadzhilazova, Ivaïlo Mladenov and Vassil Vassilev Bernoulli-Euler theory which considers only bending deformations and neglects shear deformations and stretching of the center line of the beam is given in detail by Love [13]. The corresponding solutions were found by using the equivalence of the elastica with that of the mathematical pendulum (see also Section five below). Nine different classes can be distinguished and Love presents figures for the sev- enth of them (cf. Fig.1 below). Later on Birkhoff and de Boor [2] have found the fundamental equation of the Euler elastica without length constraint (i.e., the so called free elastica) 1 κ¨(s) + κ3(s) = 0: (1) 2 Here κ(s) is the curvature of the arclength parameterized smooth curve in the plane and the dots denote the derivatives with respect to its natural parameter s. In what follows we will derive the intrinsic equation of the non-free elastica by introducing a fictitious dynamical system and present its explicit solutions in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions and elliptic integrals. We hope that these dynamical considerations could be of some interest in the many other situations as well. 2. The Fictitious Dynamical System Assuming that λ is a positive real number let us consider the following system of nonlinearly coupled ordinary differential equations x¨ − λzz_ = 0 (2) z¨ + λzx_ = 0: (3) It is quite natural to consider equations (2) and (3) as equations describing the dynamics of a particle moving in XOZ plane. It is easy to check by a direct computation that equations (2) and (3) are the Euler- Lagrange equations d d F − F = 0; F − F = 0 (4) ds x_ x ds z_ z associated with an action functional whose Lagrangian F can be taken of the form 1 λ F (x; z; x;_ z;_ t) = x_ 2 +z _2 − z (zx_ − xz_) 2 3 in which λ plays the role of the Lagrange multiplier. The particle trajectories γ(s) = x (s) determined by the parametric equation x (s) = (x(s); z (s)) (5) which we will assume to be traced with unit speed, i.e., x_ 2(s) +z _2(s) = 1 (6) Explicit Parameterization of Euler’s Elastica 177 describe the plane curve we are seeking. 3. Integration A theorem in the classical differential geometry (see e.g. [17]) claims that any plane curves is determined uniquely (up to Euclidean motion in the plane) by its curvature which in our settings can be written as κ(s) =x _z¨ − z_x:¨ (7) It is easy to see also that the equations (2) and (3) imply κ(s) = −λz(s): (8) This claim can be proved in the following manner: multiplying (3) by x_ and sub- tracting from it the result of multiplication of (2) by z_ and taking into account (6) we get exactly (8) x_z¨ − z_x¨ = −λz: Actually, the integration of (2) is immediate and produces λz2 x_ = + µ (9) 2 where µ is the integration constant. Inserting the expression for x_ from (9) into (3) leads to the equation λ2z3 z¨ + + λµz = 0: (10) 2 When rewritten in terms of the curvature the above equation becomes 1 κ¨(s) + κ3(s) + σκ(s) = 0; σ = λµ (11) 2 which is known as the intrinsic equation [3] of the elastica with tension σ and in this way we have reduced our fictitious dynamical system to the elastica problem. Continuing with the integration of (10) we get λ2z4 z_2 = − − λµz2 + C (12) 4 where C is another integration constant which however is not arbitrary but fixed by (6), i.e., C = 1 − µ2: (13) It is a trivial matter to find that the right hand side of equation (12) can be factorized in the form λ2 2(1 − µ) 2(1 + µ) − z2 z2 + (14) 4 λ λ 178 Peter Djondjorov, Mariana Hadzhilazova, Ivaïlo Mladenov and Vassil Vassilev which allows the equation itself to be rewritten as Z dz λs r = · (15) 2(1−µ) 2 2 2(1+µ) 2 λ − z z + λ Examination of the above integral leads to the conclusion that µ should be strictly smaller than one and further analysis shows that we have the following obvious possibilities: A) µ 2 (−1; 1) B) µ = −1 C) µ < −1. These possibilities will be considered below case by case: a) Introducing 2(1 − µ) 2(1 + µ) a2 = ; c2 = · (16) λ λ The integration in this case can be done with the help of the Jacobian elliptic func- tion cn(u; k) in which u is the argument and k is the so called modulus of the elliptic function (for more details on the elliptic functions, their integrals and prop- erties see e.g. [7] and [10]) p p r1 − µ z(s) = a cn(− λs, k) = a cn( λs, k); k = (17) 2 b) The integration of the second case is performed via the hyperbolic functions and one easily gets p 2 sech(s λ) z(s) = p · (18) λ c) After some preparation the integration in the last case leads also to an expression in terms of Jacobian elliptic function. For that purpose we have to change the parameter µ with ν = −µ, which means that the range of the new parameter is the ν > 1 part of the real line. Besides, it turns out convenient to introduce new parameters a^ and c^ in place of a and c used in (15), i.e., 2(ν + 1) 2(ν − 1) a^2 = ; c^2 = (19) λ λ so that this time we have to evaluate Z dz λs = · (20) p(^a2 − z2)(z2 − c^2) 2 Integrating it we obtain s s s λ(ν + 1) λ(ν + 1) 2 z(s) =a ^ dn(− s; k^) =a ^ dn( s; k^); k^ = · (21) 2 2 ν + 1 Explicit Parameterization of Euler’s Elastica 179 The above results should be completed by the integration of equation (9) in the appropriate setting and in this way we find respectively the parameterizations: 2 p p A) x(s) = p E am λs, k ; k − s; z(s) = a cn( λs, k) λ p p 2 tanh( λs) 2 sech( λs) B) x(s) = p − s; z(s) = p (22) λ λ s s λ(ν + 1) λ(ν + 1) C) x(s) =aE ^ (am( s; k^); k^) − νs; z(s) =a ^ dn ( s; k^) 2 2 in which E(u; k) and F (u; k) (which will appear later on) denote the incomplete elliptic integrals of the second respectively first kind depending on the argument u and modulus k, and am (t; k) denotes the Jacobian amplitude function (cf. [7, 10]). Actually, the integral (20) can be expressed in a slightly different form and this gives another curve p 2 2 cn(u(s); k^) sn(u(s); k^) C0) x(s) =aE ^ (am(u(s); k^); k^) − − νs pλ(ν + 1) dn(u(s); k^) (23) s c^ λ(ν + 1) z(s) = ; u(s) = s dn(u(s); k^) 2 which coincides with (22 C) (as it should be) if translated along the X axis at distance ! p rν + 1 νK(k^) ± 2 E(am(K(k^); k^); k^) − λ pλ(ν + 1) where K(k^) is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind [7, 10]. 4. Some Geometrical Remarks A few comments are in order here. E.g., already Euler had detected nine species of elastic curves while in Fig.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".

    On the Moduli of a Quantized Elastica in P and KdV Flows: Study of Hyperelliptic Curves as an Extension of Euler’s Perspective of Elastica I Shigeki MATSUTANI∗ and Yoshihiro ONISHIˆ † ∗8-21-1 Higashi-Linkan Sagamihara, 228-0811 Japan †Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Iwate University, Ueda, Morioka, Iwate, 020-8550 Japan Abstract Quantization needs evaluation of all of states of a quantized object rather than its stationary states P with respect to its energy. In this paper, we have investigated moduli elas of a quantized elastica, a quantized loop with an energy functional associated with the Schwarz derivative,M on a Riemann sphere P. Then it is proved that its moduli space is decomposed to a set of equivalent classes determined by flows obeying the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy which conserve the energy. Since the flow P obeying the KdV hierarchy has a natural topology, it induces topology in the moduli space elas. P M Using the topology, is classified. Melas Studies on a loop space in the category of topological spaces Top are well-established and its cohomological properties are well-known. As the moduli space of a quantized elastica can be regarded as a loop space in the category of differential geometry DGeom, we also proved an existence of a functor between a triangle category related to a loop space in Top and that in DGeom using the induced topology. As Euler investigated the elliptic integrals and its moduli by observing a shape of classical elastica on C, this paper devotes relations between hyperelliptic curves and a quantized elastica on P as an extension of Euler’s perspective of elastica.

    :: View email as a web page :: The spring of 1995 was a crowded season in indie-rock history. Pavement dropped their polarizing third album, the willfully messy and frequently brilliant Wowee Zowee. Yo La Tengo continued their hit streak of low-key masterworks with Eletr-O-Pura. Illinois fuzz-rock quartet Hum hit hard with Youʼd Prefer An Astronaut, and Teenage Fanclub produced one of their finest jangle-pop efforts, Grand Prix. Wilco, Elastica, and Apples In Stereo put out well-regarded debuts. And Red House Painters hit a new high-water mark with Ocean Beach. But even in an era when classic indie records seemed to come out every week, there was nothing quite like Alien Lanes, the eighth full-length LP by a band from Dayton, Ohio called Guided By Voices. Released on April 4, 1995, Alien Lanes arrived with baked-in mythology. It had been supposedly recorded for just $10 in various concrete basements around Dayton by a group of blue-collar guys in their mid-30s. Uproxx dug into the history of this classic and produced this great oral history. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS RINA SAWAYAMA This budding indie-pop star is among the buzziest acts to emerge this year, with an ear-catching single called “STFU” that’s like Carly Rae Jepsen if she spent years obsessing over Korn’s Follow The Leader.
