Wave propagation in a random medium: The solution of the m-nth moment equation with different wavenumbers

The moment equation with different wavenumbers and different transverse coordinates for wave propagation in a random medium is a linear differential equation. It often appears in the study of problems related to wave propagation in a random medium. The differential equation can be converted into an integral equation by using Green's functions and the integral equation can be solved by iteration. The moment equation is solved by the method of successive scatters, too. The solution of the moment equation is a Dyson expansion. The physical implication of the successive solution of the moment equation with different wavenumbers is explained.

Vector Representation of Interacting Dirac Equation

Using the Clifford algebra, a vectorial equation for the Dirac spinorial equation is constructed and the relation with the Klein—Gordon equation becomes transparent. The equation interacting with the electromagnetic field leads to a nontrivial generalization for the interacting Klein—Gordon equation. The Lagrangian density for this interaction is given.     

Numerical solution of the spinor Bethe-Salpeter equation and the goldstein problem

The spinor Bethe-Salpeter equation describing bound states of a fermion-antifermion pair with massless-boson exchange reduces to a single (uncoupled) partial differential equation for special combinations of the fermion-boson couplings. For spinless bound states with positive or negative parity this equation is a generalization to nonvanishing bound-state masses of the equations studied by Kummer and Goldstein, respectively. In the tight-binding limit the Kummer equation has a discrete spectrum, in contrast to the Goldstein equation, while for loose binding only the generalized Goldstein equation has a nonrelativistic limit. For intermediate binding energies the equations are solved numerically. The generalized Kummer equation is shown to possess a discrete spectrum of coupling constants for all bound-state masses. For the generalized Goldstein equation a discrete spectrum of coupling constants is found only if the binding energy is smaller than a critical value.     

The electromagnetic coupling in Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau theory

We analyze the electromagnetic coupling in the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau (KDP) equation. Since the KDP equation which describes spin-0 and spin-1 bosons is of Dirac type, we examine some analogies with and differences from the Dirac equation. The main difference with the Dirac equation is that the KDP equation contains redundant components. We will show that as a result certain interaction terms in the Hamilton form of the KDP equation do not have a physical meaning and will not affect the calculation of physical observables. We point out that a second order KDP equation derived by Kemmer as an analogy to the second order Dirac equation is of limited physical applicability as (i) it belongs to a class of second order equations which can be derived from the original KDP equation and (ii) it lacks a back-transformation which would allow one to obtain solutions of the KDP equation out of solutions of the second order equation.

Application of the complex point source method to the Schrödinger equation

The paraxial wave equation is a reduced form of the Helmholtz equation. Its solutions can be directly obtained from the solutions of the Helmholtz equation by using the method of complex point source. We applied the same logic to quantum mechanics, because the Schrödinger equation is parabolic in nature as the paraxial wave equation. We defined a differential equation, which is analogous to the Helmholtz equation for quantum mechanics and derived the solutions of the Schrödinger equation by taking into account the solutions of this equation with the method of complex point source. The method is applied to the problem of diffraction of matter waves by a shutter.     

A linear equation for Wilson loops

The Makeenko–Migdal loop equation is non-linear and first order in the area derivative, but we show that for simple loops in QCD₂ it is possible to reformulate this equation as a linear equation with second order derivatives. This equation is a bound state Schrödinger equation with a three-dimensional Coulomb potential. Thus, loop dynamics leads to a surprising new picture of confinement, where this phenomenon is due to a (bound state) localization in loop space, with the Wilson loops decaying exponentially outside a characteristic radius.     

A new approach of solving Green’s function for wave propagation in an inhomogeneous absorbing medium

A new approach is developed to solve the Green's function that satisfies the Hehmholtz equation with complex refractive index. Especially, the Green's function for the Helmholtz equation can be expressed in terms of a one-dimensional integral, which can convert a Helmholtz equation into a Schr?dinger equation with complex potential. And the Schr?dinger equation can be solved by Feynman path integral. The result is in excellent agreement with the previous work.     

A variational principle for the Landau equation

The Landau equation describing the collective modes of an infinite many-fermion system is cast into a form which displays explicitly its structure as a homogeneous Fredholm equation of the second kind with non-symmetric kernel. A variational principle appropriate to this equation is constructed by noting the analogy to the integral form of the Schrödinger equation. The Landau equation is also re-expressed in terms of two coupled equations with symmetric kernels.     

On the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources

The modified discrete KP equation is the Bäcklund transformation for the Hirota’s discrete KP equation or the Hirota-Miwa equation. We construct the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources via source generation procedure and clarify the algebraic structure of the resulting coupled modified discrete KP system by presenting its discrete Gram-type determinant solutions. It is also shown that the commutativity between the source generation procedure and Bäcklund transformation is valid for the discrete KP equation. Finally, we demonstrate that the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources yields the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources through a continuum limit. The continuum limit of an explicit solution to the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources also gives the explicit solution for the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources.     

Dirac Equation in Space–Time with Torsion

The Dirac equation in a curved space–time endowed with compatible affine connection is reconsidered. After a detailed decomposition of the total action, the equation is obtained by varying with respect to the Dirac spinor and the torsion field. The result is a known Dirac-like equation with constraints that can be interpreted as the equation of a self-interacting spin 1/2 particle in curved space–time. The scheme is then translated into the language of the 2-spinor formalism of curved space–time based on the choice of a null tetrad frame. The spinorial equation so obtained coincides with the standard one in case of no torsion, while in general it remains a nonlinear equation describing a self-interacting spin 1/2 particle. The nonlinearity is produced by the interaction of the particle with its own current that remains conserved as in the free torsion case.     

ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF THE 2n-DIMENSIONAL FOKKER-PLANCK EQUATION WITH HARMONIC OSCILLATOR POTENTIAL

An analytical solution is obtained for the 2n-dimensiona Fokker-Planck equation (F-P equation for short) with the harmonic oscillator potential. A few steps are involved in the derivation. First,the Lagrangian subsidiary equation is solved; then with its integral constants as new variables of the F-P equation, the diffusion equation is obtained and solved; at last, expressed in the original phase space, the solution of the F-P equation .is finally obtained. The analysis for the solution is made. The solution is a Gaussian type function and a δ-function of time. If a particle moves in a well in ali directions, then as t→∞, the distribution function can reach a stationary nonzero distribution-Maxuwell-Boltzmann type distribution (M-B distribution for short).As an example, the 2-dimensional F-P equation is solved and discussed in detail.     

An operator splitting method for the Degasperis–Procesi equation

An operator splitting method is proposed for the Degasperis–Procesi (DP) equation, by which the DP equation is decomposed into the Burgers equation and the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (BBM) equation. Then, a second-order TVD scheme is applied for the Burgers equation, and a linearized implicit finite difference method is used for the BBM equation. Furthermore, the Strang splitting approach is used to construct the solution in one time step. The numerical solutions of the DP equation agree with exact solutions, e.g. the multipeakon solutions very well. The proposed method also captures the formation and propagation of shockpeakon solutions, and reveals wave breaking phenomena with good accuracy.     

Symmetries and conserved quantities of discrete wave equation associated with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice system

In this paper, we present a new method to obtain the Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of the discrete wave equation with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice equations. Firstly, the wave equation is transformed into a simple difference equation with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice method. Secondly, according to the invariance of the discrete wave equation and the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice equations under infinitesimal transformation of dependent and independent variables, we derive the discrete determining equation and the discrete restricted equations. Thirdly, a series of the discrete analogs of conserved quantities, the discrete analogs of Lie groups, and the characteristic equations are obtained for the wave equation. Finally, we study a model of a biological macromolecule chain of mechanical behaviors, the Lie symmetry theory of discrete wave equation with the Ablowitz-Ladik-Lattice method is verified.     

Master equations with memory for systems driven by classical noise

A non-Markovian master equation is obtained for a two level atom driven by a phase noisy laser. The derivation is based on obtaining an equation for the density operator of the system averaged over the previous histories of the external noise. Averaging over the current value of the noise variable by means of the Zwanzig-Nakajima projection operator technique leads to a master equation with memory and a local-in-time master equation. The solutions to the resultant non-Markovian master equation, the structural properties of the equation, and the amenability of the equation to unravelling by the quantum trajectory method are all investigated.     

Peaked Traveling Wave Solutions to a Generalized Novikov Equation with Cubic and Quadratic Nonlinearities

The Camassa-Holm equation, Degasperis-Procesi equation and Novikov equation are the three typical integrable evolution equations admitting peaked solitons. In this paper, a generalized Novikov equation with cubic and quadratic nonlinearities is studied, which is regarded as a generalization of these three well-known studied equations. It is shown that this equation admits single peaked traveling wave solutions, periodic peaked traveling wave solutions, and multi-peaked traveling wave solutions.     

Fractional statistical mechanics

The Liouville and first Bogoliubov hierarchy equations with derivatives of noninteger order are derived. The fractional Liouville equation is obtained from the conservation of probability to find a system in a fractional volume element. This equation is used to obtain Bogoliubov hierarchy and fractional kinetic equations with fractional derivatives. Statistical mechanics of fractional generalization of the Hamiltonian systems is discussed. Liouville and Bogoliubov equations with fractional coordinate and momenta derivatives are considered as a basis to derive fractional kinetic equations. The Fokker-Planck-Zaslavsky equation that has fractional phase-space derivatives is obtained from the fractional Bogoliubov equation. The linear fractional kinetic equation for distribution of the charged particles is considered.     

Mass transport theory for the Toda lattices, dispersive and dissipative

To establish mass transport theory on nonlinear lattices, we formulate the Korteweg–deVries (KdV) equation and the Burgers equation using the flow variable representation so as to facilitate comparison with the Boltzmann equation and with the Cahn–Hilliard equation in classical statistical mechanics. We also study Toda lattice microdynamics using the Flaschka representation, and compare with the Liouville equation. Like the linear diffusion equation, the Boltzmann equation and the Liouville equation are to be solved for a distribution function, which is intrinsically probabilistic. Transport theory in linear systems is governed by the isotropic motions of the kinetic equations. In contrast, the KdV perturbation equation derived from the Toda lattice microdynamics expresses hydrodynamic mass transport. The KdV equation in hydrodynamics and the Burgers equation in thermodynamics do not involve a probability distribution function. The nonlinear lattices do not retain isotropy of the mass transport equations. In consequence, it is proposed that in the presence of hydrodynamic flows to the left, KdV wave propagation proceeds to the right. This basic property of the KdV system is extended to thermodynamics in the Burgers system. These features arise because linear systems are driven towards an equilibrium by molecular collisions, whereas the inhomogeneities of the nonlinear lattices are generated by the potential energy of interaction. Diffusion as expressed by the Burgers equation is governed not only by a chemical potential, but also by the Toda lattice potential energy.     

Perturbation Theory for Isotropic Landau-Lifschitz Equation Based on Inverse Scattering Transformation

The perturbation theory for the Landau-Lifschitz equation for isotropic chain with correction, which is based on the inverse scattering transform (IST), is developed to treat Landau-Lifschitz equation for a spin chain with axis asymmetry. The time-evolution equation of parameters and a formula for the first-order correction is given by treating the equation with axis symmetry as a perturbation to the isotropic equation.
