Universality of level spacing distributions in classical chaos

2007

Abstract We suggest that random matrix theory applied to a matrix of lengths of classical trajectories can be used in classical billiards to distinguish chaotic from non-chaotic behavior. We consider in 2D the integrable circular and rectangular billiard, the chaotic cardioid, Sinai and stadium billiard as well as mixed billiards from the Limacon/Robnik family. From the spectrum of the length matrix we compute the level spacing distribution, the spectral auto-correlation and spectral rigidity. We observe non-generic (Dirac comb) behavior in the integrable case and Wignerian behavior in the chaotic case. For the Robnik billiard close to the circle the distribution approaches a Poissonian dis…

Physical interpretation of laser phase dynamics

1990

The basic features characterizing the dynamical evolution of the phase of a detuned-laser field under an unstable regime are physically interpreted in terms of dispersive and dynamical effects. A general method for obtaining any attractor projection containing the phase information is established, which provides evidence for the heteroclinic character of the attractor in the presence of cavity detuning for any emission regime.

Wavelet-like orthonormal bases for the lowest Landau level

1994

As a first step in the description of a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field, such as encountered in the fractional quantum Hall effect, we discuss a general procedure for constructing an orthonormal basis for the lowest Landau level, starting from an arbitrary orthonormal basis in L2(R). We discuss in detail two relevant examples coming from wavelet analysis, the Haar and the Littlewood-Paley bases.

Laguerre Matrix-Collocation Method to Solve Systems of Pantograph Type Delay Differential Equations

2020

In this study, an improved matrix method based on collocation points is developed to obtain the approximate solutions of systems of high-order pantograph type delay differential equations with variable coefficients. These kinds of systems described by the existence of linear functional argument play a critical role in defining many different phenomena and particularly, arise in industrial applications and in studies based on biology, economy, electrodynamics, physics and chemistry. The technique we have used reduces the mentioned delay system solution with the initial conditions to the solution of a matrix equation with the unknown Laguerre coefficients. Thereby, the approximate solution is…

Trivial S-Matrices, Wigner-Von Neumann Resonances and Positon Solutions of the Integrable Nonlinear Evolution Equations

1996

It is well known that the scattering matrix is different from the unit matrix in the case of 1-dimensional Schrodinger operator with smooth rapidly decreasing nonzero potential. This no more true in the case of the slowly decreasing and oscillating potentials for which the absence of scattering is accompanied by the occurrence of the Wigner-von Neumann resonances embedded in the positive absolutely continuous spectrum. Taken as initial conditions in the KdV like integrable partial differential equations these potentials generate interesting family of explicit solutions. Below we will call them positon or multipositon solutions. The interaction of an arbitrary finite number of positons and s…

Experimental and numerical investigations of a two-body floating-point absorber wave energy converter in regular waves

2019

Abstract This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the hydrodynamics of a two-body floating-point absorber (FPA) wave energy converter (WEC) under both extreme and operational wave conditions. In this study, the responses of the WEC in heave, surge, and pitch were evaluated for various regular wave conditions. For extreme condition analysis, we assume the FPA system has a survival mode that locks the power-take-off (PTO) mechanism in extreme waves, and the WEC moves as a single body in this scenario. A series of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations was performed for the survival condition analysis, and the results were validated with the measurements from exper…

Applications of wavelets to quantum mechanics: A pedagogical example

1995

We discuss in many details two quantum mechanical models of planar electrons which are very much related to the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. In particular, we discuss the localization properties of the trial ground states of the models starting from considerations on the numerical results on the energy. We conclude that wavelet theory can be conveniently used in the description of the system. Finally we suggest applications of our results to the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect.

A paradigm of fullerene

2009

We study the dynamics of an electron constrained over the surface of a rigid sphere, with geometrical parameters similar to those of the C60 fullerene, embedded in a low intensity linearly polarized laser field. The model is shown to emit odd harmonics of the laser even at very low field intensity. For more intense laser fields, the spectrum presents odd harmonics and hyper-Raman lines shaped in a broad plateau. The spectrum of the model is compared to that theoretically obtained by other authors for more realistic models of C60. It is concluded that the model can be used as a paradigm for mesoscopic molecules in the fullerene family, particularly in practical applications where it is conve…

Two-dimensional spectroscopy for the study of ion Coulomb crystals

2015

Ion Coulomb crystals are currently establishing themselves as a highly controllable test-bed for mesoscopic systems of statistical mechanics. The detailed experimental interrogation of the dynamics of these crystals however remains an experimental challenge. In this work, we show how to extend the concepts of multi-dimensional nonlinear spectroscopy to the study of the dynamics of ion Coulomb crystals. The scheme we present can be realized with state-of-the-art technology and gives direct access to the dynamics, revealing nonlinear couplings even in the presence of thermal excitations. We illustrate the advantages of our proposal showing how two-dimensional spectroscopy can be used to detec…
