A path to Balmer's formula: the Pythagorean search for simplicity and harmony
D V Redzic
A derivation of Balmer's formula is presented, guided by the principles of simplicity and harmony.
Relativity with or without light and Maxwell
D V Redžić
The complex relationship between Einstein's second postulate and the Maxwell electromagnetic theory is elucidated. A simple deduction of the main results of the Ignatowski approach…
Covariant formulation of electrodynamics in isotropic media revisited
D V Redžić
This paper resolves a persistent ambiguity regarding the covariant formulation of electrodynamics in a vacuum, as well as of Minkowski's electrodynamics of moving isotropic media.…
Two paths towards circulation time derivative (Maxwell's revisited)
Dragan V Redzic
The time derivative of the circulation of a vector field over a moving and deforming closed curve, $\frac {\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t}\oint \boldsymbol{A} \cdot \mat…
Markov Chains and Unambiguous Automata
Christel Baier, Stefan Kiefer, Joachim Klein +2
Unambiguous automata are nondeterministic automata in which every word has at most one accepting run. In this paper we give a polynomial-time algorithm for model checking discrete-…
Direct calculation of length contraction and clock retardation
D. V. Redzic
For simple electromagnetic models of a rod and a clock, a change of the shape of the rod and of the rate of the clock when they are set in uniform motion is calculated exactly, emp…
On the Laplacian of 1/r
Dragan V Redzic
A novel definition of the Laplacian of 1/r is presented, suitable for advanced undergraduates.
Time-dependent fields of a current-carrying wire
D. V. Redzic, V. Hnizdo
The electric and magnetic fields of an infinite straight wire carrying a steady current which is turned on abruptly are determined using Jefimenko's equations, starting from the st…
Charges and fields in a current-carrying wire
Dragan V. Redzic
Charges and fields in a straight, infinite, cylindrical wire carrying a steady current are determined in the rest frames of ions and electrons, starting from the standard assumptio…
Length contraction puzzle solved?
Dragan V Redzic
It is argued that the `perspectival change' of a physical object in special relativity may be given a natural dynamical explanation in terms of a change in the object under the act…
