The classical method of solving electromagnetic field problems involving boundary perturbations is reformulated in a way that is both more general and simpler. The new formulation makes it easier to apply the theory to the class of boundaries amenable to the classical formulation, and shows that it can also be applied to other boundary shapes. As an example, the perfectly conducting sphere with surface perturbations has been treated, using the methods appropriate only for boundaries in the classical class and also using those applicable to the larger class. Some experimental results which appear to support the theory are reported.

Without using the perturbation theory, the article demonstrates a possibility of superluminal information-carrying signals in standard quantum electrodynamics using the example of scattering of quantum electromagnetic field by an excited atom.

AbstractThis paper investigates the stimulated transition process of a uniformly moving atom in interaction with a thermal bath of the quantum electromagnetic field. Using the perturbation theory, the atomic stimulated emission and absorption rates are calculated. The results indicate that the atomic transition rates depend crucially on the atomic velocity, the temperature of the thermal bath, and the atomic polarizability. As these factors change, the atomic stimulated transition processes can be enhanced or weakened at different degrees. In particular, slowly moving atoms in the thermal bath with high temperature ($$T\gg \omega _{0}$$ T ≫ ω 0 ) perceive a smaller effective temperature $$T \big ( 1-\frac{1}{10} v^{2} \big )$$ T ( 1 - 1 10 v 2 ) for the polarizability perpendicular to the atomic velocity or $$T \big ( 1-\frac{3}{10} v^{2} \big )$$ T ( 1 - 3 10 v 2 ) for the polarizability parallel to the atomic velocity. However, ultra-relativistic atoms perceive no influence of the background thermal bath. In turn, in terms of the atomic transition rates, this paper explores and examines the relativity of temperature of the quantum electromagnetic field.

Abstract In this study a possible application of time-dependent canonical perturbation theory to a fast nonlinear time-periodic Hamiltonian with strong internal excitation is considered. It is shown that if the time-periodic unperturbed part is quadratic, the Hamiltonian may be canonically transformed to an equivalent form in which the new unperturbed part is time-invariant so that the time-dependent canonical perturbation theory may be successfully applied. For this purpose, the Liapunov-Floquet (L-F) transformation and its inverse associated with the unperturbed time-periodic quadratic Hamiltonian are computed using a recently developed technique. Action-angle variables and time-dependent canonical perturbation theory are then utilized to find the solution in the original coordinates. The results are compared for accuracy with solutions obtained by both numerical integration and by the classical method of directly applying the time-dependent perturbation theory in which the time-periodic quadratic part is treated as another perturbation term. A strongly excited Mathieu-Hill quadratic Hamiltonian with a cubic perturbation and a nonlinear time-periodic Hamiltonian without a constant quadratic part serve as illustrative examples. It is shown that, unlike the classical method in which the internal excitation must be weak, the proposed formulation provides accurate solutions for an arbitrarily large internal excitation.

The perturbation theory for transonic flow is further developed for solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions or for experimental results. The strained coordinate technique is used to treat changes in location of any shock waves or large gradients.


The electron kernel functions are derived from solutions of the second-order wave equation, using the proper-time parametrization. Iterated kernel functions are introduced and a gauge-independent perturbation theory is developed. The separation of singular parts proceeds in terms of the iterated kernel functions valid in the absence of an electromagnetic field, and the singular expressions which have to be compensated in order to determine the physically significant part of the vacuum polarization are obtained in a more transparent form than those given originally by Heisenberg.

Electric vehicles (EVs) with wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are convenient, but WPT technology will produce a strong stray electromagnetic field (EMF) in the surrounding space when the system works with high power. Shielding coils can reduce stray EMF efficiently without additional control, and they have advantages of being simple, light, and cheap. In this paper, the series-opposing structure is compared systematically with the inductive structure based on circuit theory and electromagnetic field theory. Simplified circuit models are proposed to give an intuitive and comprehensive analysis of transfer efficiency. Electric field analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) is used to explain the functional principles of shielding coils and to compare the EMF distribution excited by two structures. The simulation results show that both structures decrease the mutual inductance and perform better than the system without shielding coils when they have the same transfer efficiency. Further, the inductive structure system performs best. The most important between two structures is that the shielding effects is independent of turns of shielding coils for inductive structure, while it can be adjusted by changing turns of shielding coils for the series-opposing structure. The experimental results show that the EMF is reduced by 65% for the inductive structure and 40% for the series-opposing structure. The theoretical analysis is confirmed by experimental results.

With the purpose to compare the physical features of the electromagnetic field, we describe the synthesis of optical singularities propagating in the free space and on a metal surface. In both cases the electromagnetic field has a slit-shaped curve as a boundary condition, and the singularities correspond to a shock wave that is a consequence of the curvature of the slit curve. As prototypes, we generate singularities that correspond to fold and cusped regions. We show that singularities in free space may generate bifurcation effects while plasmon fields do not generate these kinds of effects. Experimental results for free-space propagation are presented and for surface plasmon fields, computer simulations are shown.

A new formulation of the Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory is applied to the derivation of the vibrational eigenvalues of the perturbed Morse oscillator (PMO). This formulation avoids the conventional projection of the Ψ corrections on the basis of unperturbed eigenfunctions [Formula: see text], or the projection of the nonhomogeneous Schrödinger equations on [Formula: see text], it gives simple expressions for each E correction [Formula: see text] free of summations and integrals. When the PMO is characterized by the potential U = UM + UP (where UM is the unperturbed Morse potential), the eigenvalue of a vibrational level ν is given by: [Formula: see text]. According to the new formulation the correction £, [Formula: see text] is given by [Formula: see text], where σp(r) is a particular solution of the nonhomogeneous differential equation y″ + f y = sp; here [Formula: see text], sp is well known for each p: for p = 0, [Formula: see text]; for [Formula: see text]. For the numerical application one single routine is used, that of integrating y″ + f y = s, where the coefficients are known as well as the initial values. An example is presented for the Huffaker PMO of the (carbon monoxide) CO-X1Σ+ state. The vibrational eigenvalues Eν are obtained to a good accuracy (with p = 4) even for high levels. This result confirms the validity of this new formulation and gives a semianalytic expression for the PMO eigenvalues.
