Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: The interface between a heavy electron coherent metallic phase and an incoherent normal metal phase is discussed. The Fermi momentum mismatch between the two phases causes the carriers to scatter at the interface. The interface conductance is a monotonous increasing function of conduction electron density, n_c, and is less than 60% of that of a clean heavy fermion metal at half-filling ($n_c=1$) and can be measured experimentally. Interface experiments can be used as probe of the nature of the homogenous heavy-fermion state and provide important information on the effects of inhomogeneities in heavy-fermion alloys.

description: This study includes the educational utilization of Visual-culture digital-products, such as a documentary film, photographs, and historical texts. The research aim was for the students to develop visual literacy and enhance historical understanding through critical thinking by using products of visual-digital culture. Through the research questions, we examined (1) the integration of semiotic interpretation of visual representations on the Ellis-Island European immigration to the USA, and (2) the change of content understanding, image interpretation, and emotional interpretation by students after the use of visual-digital culture. A didactic intervention was conducted for 16–20-year-old students, according to our visual-literacy method by taking into consideration the assumptions of Burke, and Avgerinou and Petterson. The comparative results of the action-research three phases were presented with data-visualization about content understanding, image interpretation, and emotional interpretation of immigration. Conclusions were drawn regarding the acquisition of visual-literacy skills according to the students’ social representations. Suggestions were also formulated.

description: Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) is a ubiquitous diffusion process in which the memory effects of the stochastic transport result in the mean squared particle displacement following a power law, $\langle {Δr}^2 \rangle \sim t^α$, where the diffusion exponent $α$ characterizes whether the transport is subdiffusive, ($α<1$), diffusive ($α= 1$), or superdiffusive, ($α>1$). Due to the abundance of fBm processes in nature, significant efforts have been devoted to the identification and characterization of fBm sources in various phenomena. In practice, the identification of the fBm sources often relies on solving a complex and ill-posed inverse problem based on limited observed data. In the general case, the detected signals are formed by an unknown number of release sources, located at different locations and with different strengths, that act simultaneously. This means that the observed data is composed of mixtures of releases from an unknown number of sources, which makes the traditional inverse modeling approaches unreliable. Here, we report an unsupervised learning method, based on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization, that enables the identification of the unknown number of release sources as well the anomalous diffusion characteristics based on limited observed data and the general form of the corresponding fBm Green's function. We show that our method performs accurately for different types of sources and configurations with a predetermined number of sources with specific characteristics and introduced noise.

Analytic approach to the ground-state energy of charged anyon gases

description: We derive an approximate analytic formula for the ground-state energy of the charged anyon gas. Our approach is based on the harmonically confined two-dimensional (2D) Coulomb anyon gas and a regularization procedure for vanishing confinement. To take into account the fractional statistics and Coulomb interaction we introduce a function, which depends on both the statistics and density parameters (nu and r_s, respectively). We determine this function by fitting to the ground state energies of the classical electron crystal at very large r_s (the 2D Wigner crystal), and to the Hartree-Fock (HF) energy of the spin-polarized 2D electron gas, and the dense 2D Coulomb Bose gas at very small r_s. The latter is calculated by use of the Bogoliubov approximation. Applied to the boson system (nu=0) our results are very close to recent results from Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. For spin-polarized electron systems (nu=1) our comparison leads to a critical judgment concerning the density range, to which the HF approximation and MC simulations apply. In dependence on nu, our analytic formula yields ground-state energies, which monotonously increase from the bosonic to the fermionic side if r_s > 1. For r_s leq 1 it shows a nonmonotonous behavior indicating a breakdown of the assumed continuous transformation of bosons into fermions by variation of the parameter nu .

description: Algorithm NCL is designed for general smooth optimization problems where first and second derivatives are available, including problems whose constraints may not be linearly independent at a solution (i.e., do not satisfy the LICQ). It is equivalent to the LANCELOT augmented Lagrangian method, reformulated as a short sequence of nonlinearly constrained subproblems that can be solved efficiently by IPOPT and KNITRO, with warm starts on each subproblem. We give numerical results from a Julia implementation of Algorithm NCL on tax policy models that do not satisfy the LICQ, and on nonlinear least-squares problems and general problems from the CUTEst test set.

description: We explore the mass-to-light ratio in galaxy clusters and its relation to the cluster mass. We study the relations among the optical luminosity ($L_{op}$), the cluster mass ($M_{200}$) and the number of cluster galaxies within $r_{200}$ ($N_{gal}$) in a sample of 217 galaxy clusters with confirmed 3D overdensity. We correct for projection effects, by determining the galaxy surface number density profile in our cluster sample. This is best fitted by a cored King profile in low and intermediate mass systems. The core radius decreases with cluster mass, and, for the highest mass clusters, the profile is better represented by a generalized King profile or a cuspy Navarro, Frenk & White profile. We find a very tight proportionality between $L_{op}$ and $N_{gal}$, which, in turn, links the cluster mass-to-light ratio to the Halo Occupation Distribution $N_{gal}$ vs. $M_{200}$. After correcting for projection effects, the slope of the $L_{op}-M_{200}$ and $N_{gal}-M_{200}$ relations is found to be $0.92\pm0.03$, close, but still significantly less than unity. We show that the non-linearity of these relations cannot be explained by variations of the galaxy luminosity distributions and of the galaxy M/L with the cluster mass. We suggest that the nonlinear relation between number of galaxies and cluster mass reflects an underlying nonlinear relation between number of subhaloes and halo mass.

description: Background
Antenatal depression is common among pregnant women and negatively affects mother and baby. Its signs and symptoms are often masked by normal pregnancy changes resulting in under-diagnosis and potential under-treatment. Non-availability of screening tools for ante-natal depression has also hindered detection.
Objective
This study aimed to validate two depression screening tools among pregnant women attending Harare polyclinics.
Methods
The findings are from 375 pregnant women, attending Harare polyclinic, who were followed up from pregnancy until six weeks post-delivery. They were in their second/third trimester and were interviewed between January and April 2018. They answered questions that included signs of feeling sad. Two mental health doctors asked them further questions to confirm whether or not they were depressed. The information collected was used to check whether the questions about signs of sadness could pick those women who were depressed.
Results
The EPDS assessed three ideas while PHQ-9 assessed just one idea. They were good and reliable to check depression in pregnancy
Conclusion
While both tools performed well in screening for depression among pregnant women in Harare and they were both reliable, the PHQ-9 is a better tool because it assesses only one idea, it is straightforward.
A communication-efficient nonlocal measurement with application to communication complexity and bipartite gate capacities

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Two dual questions in quantum information theory are to determine the communication cost of simulating a bipartite unitary gate, and to determine their communication capacities. We present a bipartite unitary gate with two surprising properties: 1) simulating it with the assistance of unlimited EPR pairs requires far more communication than with a better choice of entangled state, and 2) its communication capacity is far lower than its capacity to create entanglement. This suggests that 1) unlimited EPR pairs are not the most general model of entanglement assistance for two-party communication tasks, and 2) the entangling and communicating abilities of a unitary interaction can vary nearly independently. The technical contribution behind these results is a communication-efficient protocol for measuring whether an unknown shared state lies in a specified rank-one subspace or its orthogonal complement.

description: Background: Demand-side barriers to vaccination among rural and mobile pastoralists in Chad are not well understood. We hypothesize that mobile pastoralist in Chad face specific demand-side barriers to access vaccination services. Understanding the factors that caregivers in these communities consider, explicitly or implicitly, in order to decide whether or not to vaccinate a child are essential elements to increasing acceptance of vaccination.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in a rural health district in southern Chad with 12 KII and four FGDs) comprising 35 participants (men and women). Participants were caregivers, traditional chiefs, local and religious leaders, and health officials and staff. We conducted a content analysis using pre-defined set of categories for vaccination hesitancy.

Results: The demand-side barriers reported most frequently in FGDs were mistrust of the EPI and polio vaccination outreach services (53%, n = 94), followed by health system issues (34%, n = 94), and concerns related to potential harm of vaccines (13%, n = 94). Concerns identified by participants followed similar pattern with issues on mistrust being most frequently reported and issues with harm least frequently reported.

Conclusion: Local health systems must plan for the periodic presence of pastoralist communities in their zones of responsibility and create more mutual trust.
The development of a high sensitivity ac susceptometer and its application to the study of high temperature superconductors
Creators: name: Bidinosti, Christopher Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The development of a high sensitivity ac susceptometer is outlined in this thesis. The intended use of this device is for the measurement of the magnetic field dependent penetration depth of high temperature superconductors in the Meissner state. The nature of the field depence may be useful in discerning the superconducting pairing state in these materials. Test measurements on the completed ac susceptometer show that its field dependent background is too large to extract any meaningful results from this experiment. However, the device has been used successfully to measure the temperature dependent penetration depth and the vortex melting transition of the high temperature superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O[sub 6.95].

description: The nu=5/2 fractional quantum Hall state is studied numerically, directly including the effects of electron scattering between neighboring Landau levels. Significant reduction of the excitation gap caused by the LL mixing explains the discrepancy between earlier calculations and experiments. On the other hand, LL mixing also considerably reduces overlaps with the Moore--Read wavefunction, raising a question of the actual realization of nonabelian quasiparticles in present experiments.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio Nf/Nc which can be kept of order one, present a good singularity at the origin and are weakly curved elsewhere. We support our field theory interpretation by studying a variety of features like R-symmetry breaking, instantons, Seiberg duality, Wilson loops and pair creation, running of couplings and domain walls. In a second part of this paper, we address a different problem: the analysis of the interesting physics of different members of a family of supergravity solutions dual to (unflavored) N=1 SYM plus some UV completion.

description: The DELTAS ‘Learning Research Programme’ (LRP) works alongside the DELTAS Africa Capacity Building Programme to produce research-based learning about how to equitably develop internationally competitive and effective researchers and research institutions in Africa. Nested within the wider DELTAS LRP, this study explores the views and lived-experiences of female and male DELTAS supported research fellows within three selected DELTAS Consortia in order to understand the barriers and facilitators to gender equitable scientific career progression. The study adopted a qualitative data collection method, through conducting In-depth interviews with DELTAS supported fellows and Key informant interviews with consortia research leaders/directors, programme managers/coordinators, monitoring and evaluation officers, human resources managers, and supervisors (co-PIs). Preliminary findings show that the career progression of female and male researchers to senior positions within the DELTAS supported institutions is influenced by many factors, including those set out below as individual, socio-cultural and institutional challenges. Current mechanisms in place for addressing some of the barriers have also been highlighted. This paper concludes with suggestions for improvement and future plans as put forward by study participants, which we have categorized as institutional level approaches and Programme-wide approaches.

Existing solutions may produce suboptimal samples or are complex to implement. We present methods to approximate given shapes with user-tunable number of spheres to balance between accuracy and simplicity: touching medial/scale-axis polar balls and k-means smallest enclosing circles. Our methods are easy to implement, run efficiently, and can approach quality similar to manual construction.

description: Objectives: Depression is a public health problem occurring globally and is often missed in clinical setting. Depression and diabetes are common conditions in primary care setting and they commonly co-occur. The cooccurrence of these two conditions can complicate diabetes outcome. The study aimed at determining whether
the patient health questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) will be able to screen for depression in patient with diabetes in Malawi they way it is supposed to measure it.
Methods:The study was conducted in two non communicable diseases (NCD) clinics in Lilongwe district in Malawi from December 2017 till April 2018. A total of 323 patients with diabetes were screened with the PHQ-9 and later underwent diagnostic interview.
Results: Two-fifth of the patients with diabetes suffered from either minor or major depression.
Conclusions: The PHQ-9 was found to be a useful screening tool in NCD clinics in Malawi as it was able to measure depression the way it was supposed to measure and should be considered by clinicians.

description: Intensive usage of antimicrobials in management of animal diseases may cause selection for resistance among microorganisms. While One-health concept aims to attain optimal health for humans, animals and environment, this approach is largely still theoretical in the developing countries like Uganda. This study aimed at assessing antimicrobial use in pastoralist communities of Kasese district.
Questionnaires were administered to assess antibiotic consumption both in animals and humans, self-medication and other variables as per the conceptual framework. In-depth interviews were conducted among the veterinary officers, veterinary drug vendors, human health facility in-charges in both public and private health facilities and operator of human Pharmacies and drug shops.
A majority of the participants, had no understanding of antimicrobial resistance though they recognize that it is an issue that could affect individuals or families. Farmers believed that mitigation of AMR transmission can be achieved through taking antibiotics only when prescribed by the qualified medical personnel, reducing antimicrobial use on the farm, simple hand washing, and prescription of antibiotics only when they are needed and increasing uptake of immunization.
In order to attain optimal health for humans, animals and environment, the Global and the National action plans need to bring farmers into the picture

As known, wave features are revealed at propagation in ultra-narrow collimators as well as at glancing reflection from smooth flat and/or strongly curved surfaces. All these phenomena can be described within the general formalism of X-ray channeling.

description: Antimicrobial resistance is a worldwide public health emergency that requires urgent attention. We aimed at establishing the magnitude of antimicrobial resistance among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae carried in the gut of out-patients from pastoralist communities of rural Western Uganda.
The study was carried out among pastoralists living in and around the Queen Elizabeth Protected Area (QEPA). Stool samples were collected from individuals from pastoralist communities who presented to the health facilities with fever and/or diarrhea without malaria and delivered to the microbiology laboratory of College of Health Sciences-Makerere University for processing, culture and drug susceptibility testing.
Generally, high antibiotic resistance patterns were detected among E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolated. High resistance against cotrimoxazole 74%, ampicillin 67%, amoxicillin/clavulanate 37%, and ciprofloxacin 31% was observed among the E. coli. In K. pneumoniae, cotrimoxazole 68% and amoxicillin/clavulanate 46%, were the most resisted antimicrobials.
We demonstrated high antimicrobial resistance, including multidrug resistance, among E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates from pastoralist out-patients. We recommend a One Health approach to establish the sources and drivers of this problem to inform public health.

description: The PHOBOS experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is studying interactions of heavy nuclei at the largest energies available in the laboratory. The high multiplicity of particles created in heavy ion collisions makes precise vertex reconstruction possible using information from a spectrometer and a specialized vertex detector with relatively small acceptances. For lower multiplicity events, a large acceptance, single layer multiplicity detector is used and special algorithms are developed to reconstruct the vertex, resulting in high efficiency at the expense of poorer resolution. The algorithms used in the PHOBOS experiment and their performance are presented.

In particular: 1) we give shorter versions of Almgren's proofs of the existence of Dir-minimizing Q-valued functions, of their Hoelder regularity and of the dimension estimate of their singular set; 2) we propose an alternative intrinsic approach to these results, not relying on Almgren's biLipschitz embedding; 3) we improve upon the estimate of the singular set of planar Dir-minimizing functions by showing that it consists of isolated points.

description: Familiar textbook quantum mechanics assumes a fixed background spacetime to define states on spacelike surfaces and their unitary evolution between them. Quantum theory has changed as our conceptions of space and time have evolved. But quantum mechanics needs to be generalized further for quantum gravity where spacetime geometry is fluctuating and without definite value. This paper reviews a fully four-dimensional, sum-over-histories, generalized quantum mechanics of cosmological spacetime geometry. This generalization is constructed within the framework of generalized quantum theory. This is a minimal set of principles for quantum theory abstracted from the modern quantum mechanics of closed systems, most generally the universe. In this generalization, states of fields on spacelike surfaces and their unitary evolution are emergent properties appropriate when spacetime geometry behaves approximately classically. The principles of generalized quantum theory allow for the further generalization that would be necessary were spacetime not fundamental. Emergent spacetime phenomena are discussed in general and illustrated with the example of the classical spacetime geometries with large spacelike surfaces that emerge from the `no-boundary' wave function of the universe. These must be Lorentzian with one, and only one, time direction. The essay concludes by raising the question of whether quantum mechanics itself is emergent.

description: We simulate the early stages of the evolution of turbulent, virialized, high-mass protostellar cores, with primary attention to how cores fragment, and whether they form a small or large number of protostars. Our simulations use the Orion adaptive mesh refinement code to follow the collapse from ~0.1 pc scales to ~10 AU scales, for durations that cover the main fragmentation phase, using three-dimensional gravito-radiation hydrodynamics. We find that for a wide range of initial conditions radiation feedback from accreting protostars inhibits the formation of fragments, so that the vast majority of the collapsed mass accretes onto one or a few objects. Most of the fragmentation that does occur takes place in massive, self-shielding disks. These are driven to gravitational instability by rapid accretion, producing rapid mass and angular momentum transport that allows most of the gas to accrete onto the central star rather than forming fragments. In contrast, a control run using the same initial conditions but an isothermal equation of state produces much more fragmentation, both in and out of the disk. We conclude that massive cores with observed properties are not likely to fragment into many stars, so that, at least at high masses, the core mass function probably determines the stellar initial mass function. Our results also demonstrate that simulations of massive star forming regions that do not include radiative transfer, and instead rely on a barotropic equation of state or optically thin heating and cooling curves, are likely to produce misleading results.

description: Thermoelectric power due to coherent electron transmission through a quantum dot is theoretically studied. In addition to the known features related to resonant peaks, we show that a novel significant structure appears between the peaks. This structure arises from the so-called transmission zero, which is characteristic of coherent transmission through several quantum levels. Because of sensitivity to phase-breaking effect in quantum dots, this novel structure indicates degree of coherency in the electron transmission.

description: Στο πρώτο μισό του 5ου αιώνα π.Χ. ο Ευριπίδης παρουσίασε τον «Ιππόλυτο Καλυπτόμενο», έργο το οποίο δημιούργησε αρνητικές αντιδράσεις στο κοινό λόγω της προκλητικής συμπεριφοράς της Φαίδρας προς τον γιο του άντρα της, Θησέα. Χρονικά ακολούθησε η «Φαίδρα» του Σοφοκλή, έργο το οποίο παρουσιάστηκε μάλλον ως απάντηση στον «Ιππόλυτο Καλυπτόμενο», έργο χαμενο για εμάς σήμερα. Ο Ευριπίδης ασχολείται και δεύτερη φορά με τον ίδιο μύθο, παρουσιάζοντας το 428 π.Χ. τον «Ιππόλυτο Στεφανηφόρο», στον οποίο προσπάθησε να προβάλλει την Φαίδρα πιο ηθική και συνετή ενώ την συμπεριφορά της ως μέρος θεϊκού σχεδίου. Ο Σενέκας πήρε στοιχεία από τα δύο έργα του Ευριπίδη αλλά και από άλλα διακείμενα προκειμένου να συνθέσει την «Φαίδρα» του. Η δική του ηρωίδα πλησιάζει στις αντιδράσεις της περισσότερο την Φαίδρα του «Ιππόλυτου Καλυπτόμενου» και παρουσιάζεται προκλητική στην συμπεριφορά της. Ο Σενέκας μιμείται σε μεγάλο βαθμό το πρότυπό του, τον Ευριπίδη και αντλεί στοιχεία από πολλά ακόμη διακείμενα αλλά δεν αντιγράφει απλώς τις αρχαίες ελληνικές τραγωδίες. Συνθέτει με το προσωπικό του ύφος και εντάσσει πολύ ενδιαφέρουσες καινοτομίες.
description: At the first half of the fifth century B.C. Euripides presented “Hippolytus Veiled”, a play that caused negative reactions to the audience because of the Phaedra’s provoking behaviour to the son of her husband, Theseus. The “Phaedra” of Sophocles came after and was a play that had been presented as an answer to the “Hippolytus Veiled” which is lost today. Euripides deals with the same myth for a second time and presents “Hippolytus Bearer of the Garland” at 428 B.C. This time tried to present Phaedra more moral and virtuous, with a behaviour as a result of a divine plan. Seneca took elements from the two plays of Euripides and from other intertexts in order to present his “Phaedra”. The personality of his heroine seems to come near to Phaedra from “Hippolytus Veiled” because he is presenting her immoral and not modest. Seneca imitates his model, Euripides, he also took elements from other intertexts but he does not just copying the plots of the ancient greek tragedies. He is composing with his personal style and he brings very interesting innovations.

Περιλαμβάνει τον εκκλησιαστικό βίο της Ιεράς Μητροπόλεως Καλαβρύτων και Αιγιαλείας απ’ αρχής του Χριστιανισμού μέχρι σήμερα, τα εν ενεργεία Ιερά Μοναστήρια και τα Μοναστήρια που έχουν μεταβληθεί σε Προσκυνήματα. Η ιστορική διερεύνηση των μοναστηριών μας εντάσσει στα πλαίσια της χριστιανικής και εκκλησιαστικής ιστορίας. Επιπλέον συμβάλλει κατά ένα μεγάλο ποσοστό στην ανάδειξη μνημείων αρχιτεκτονικής και μνημείων τέχνης. Τέλος με την παρούσα εργασία έγινε προσπάθεια να τονιστεί όχι μόνο η πνευματική αλλά και η εθνική προσφορά των μοναστηριών στις κατά τόπους περιοχές και την γύρω Ελλάδα ως κέντρα αντίστασης κατά των κατακτητών, ως αποθήκες τροφίμων, πολεμοφοδίων αλλά και ως χώροι φιλοξενίας για τα γυναικόπαιδα.
description: The present job reports the Holy Monasteries of the Holy Metropolis Kalavryta and Aegion. It includes the ecclesiastical life of the Holy Metropolis Kalavryta and Aegion at the beginning of the Christianity until today, the active Holy Monasteries and the Monasteries which became Adorations. The historical investigation from the Monasteries put us to the frame of christian and ecclesiastical history. Also, it contributes to a big share at the election architecture monuments and art monuments. At the end, with this job became effort to accent not only the spirit but also the national offer of the Monasteries at these places and the around Greece as centre resistance against the conquerors, as storages for foods, for munitions but also as hospitality places for the children and the women.
Holonomic constraints : an analytical result

description: Systems subjected to holonomic constraints follow quite complicated dynamics that could not be described easily with Hamiltonian or Lagrangian dynamics. The influence of holonomic constraints in equations of motions is taken into account by using Lagrange multipliers. Finding the value of the Lagrange multipliers allows to compute the forces induced by the constraints and therefore, to integrate the equations of motions of the system. Computing analytically the Lagrange multipliers for a constrained system may be a difficult task that is depending on the complexity of systems. For complex systems, it is most of the time impossible to achieve. In computer simulations, some algorithms using iterative procedures estimate numerically Lagrange multipliers or constraint forces by correcting the unconstrained trajectory. In this work, we provide an analytical computation of the Lagrange multipliers for a set of linear holonomic constraints with an arbitrary number of bonds of constant length. In the appendix of the paper, one would find explicit formulas for Lagrange multipliers for systems having 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bonds of constant length, linearly connected.

description: Today's world is struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic, as one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. During the lockdown caused by this disease, many financial losses have been inflicted on people and all industries. One of the fastest ways to save these industries from the COVID-19 is to provide a reliable solution for people's health assessment. In this article, blockchain technology is used to propose a model which provides and validates the health certificates for people who travel or present in society. For this purpose, we take advantage of blockchain features in protecting people's privacy. Since a variety of antibody and human health proving tests against the virus are developing, this study tries simultaneously to design an integrated and secure system to meet the authenticity and accuracy of different people's health certificates for the companies requiring these certifications. In this system, on the one hand, there are qualified laboratories that are responsible for performing standard testing and also providing results to the system controller. Finally, people are considered as the end-user of the system. To provide test information for the entities, the mechanism of KYC tokens will be used based on the Stellar private blockchain network. In this mechanism, the user will buy a certain amount of KYC tokens from the system controller. These tokens are charged in the user's wallet, and the user can send these tokens from his wallet to any destination company, to exchange the encrypted health certificate information. Finally, considering the appropriate platform provided by blockchain technology and the requirement of a reliable and accurate solution for issuing health certificates during the Covid-19 pandemic or any other disease, this article offers a solution to meet the requirements.

Accuracy of the Post-Newtonian Approximation: Optimal Asymptotic Expansion for Quasi-Circular, Extreme-Mass Ratio Inspirals

description: We study the accuracy of the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation and its formal region of validity, by investigating its optimal asymptotic expansion for the quasi-circular, adiabatic inspiral of a point particle into a Schwarzschild black hole. By comparing the PN expansion of the energy flux to numerical calculations in the perturbative Teukolsky formalism, we show that (i) the inclusion of higher multipoles is necessary to establish the accuracy of high-order PN terms, and (ii) the region of validity of PN theory is largest at relative O(1/c^6) (3PN order). The latter result suggests that the series diverges beyond 3PN order, at least in the extreme mass-ratio limit, probably due to the appearance of logarithmic terms in the energy flux. The study presented here is a first formal attempt to determine the region of validity of the PN approximation using asymptotic analysis. Therefore, it should serve as a template to perform similar studies on other systems, such as comparable-mass quasi-circular inspirals computed by high-accuracy numerical relativistic simulations.
