Abstract We consider a one-dimensional system of interacting particles (which can be atoms, molecules, ions, etc.), in which particles are subjected to a bistable potential the double-well shape of which is tunable via a shape deformability parameter. Our objective is to examine the impact of shape deformability on the order of transition in quantum tunneling in the bistable system, and on the possible existence of exact solutions to the transfer-integral operator associated with the partition function of the system. The bistable potential is represented by a class composed of three families of parametrized double-well potentials, whose minima and barrier height can be tuned distinctly. It is found that the extra degree of freedom, introduced by the shape deformability parameter, favors a first-order transition in quantum tunneling, in addition to the second-order transition predicted with the $$\phi ^4$$ ϕ 4 model. This first-order transition in quantum tunneling, which is consistent with Chudnovsky’s conjecture of the influence of the shape of the potential barrier on the order of thermally assisted transitions in bistable systems, is shown to occur at a critical value of the shape-deformability parameter which is the same for the three families of parametrized double-well potentials. Concerning the statistical mechanics of the system, the associate partition function is mapped onto a spectral problem by means of the transfer-integral formalism. The condition that the partition function can be exactly integrable, is determined by a criterion enabling exact eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the transfer-integral operator. Analytical expressions of some of these exact eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are given, and the corresponding ground-state wavefunctions are used to compute the probability density which is relevant for calculations of thermodynamic quantities such as the correlation functions and the correlation lengths.

Abstract In this study, the electronic and optical properties of single or core/shell quantum dots, which are formed depending on the parameters in the selected Konwent potential, are investigated. Namely, the effects of the size and geometric shapes of quantum dots on the binding energy of the on-center donor impurity, the total absorption coefficient and refractive index which are including transitions between the some confined states, and the electromagnetically induced transparency between the lowest six confined states related to the donor impurity are investigated. We have used the diagonalization method by choosing a wave function based on the Bessel and Spherical Harmonics orthonormal function to find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the electron confined within the quantum dots which have different types mentioned above. To calculate the optical absorption coefficients and electromagnetically induced transparency related to shallow-donor impurity, a two- and three-level approach in the density matrix expansion is used, respectively.

Abstract We show that if the solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional massless Dirac equation for a given 1D potential are known, then they can be used to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the same potential, orientated at an arbitrary angle, in a tilted anisotropic 2D Dirac material. This simple set of transformations enables all the exact and quasi-exact solutions associated with 1D quantum wells in graphene to be applied to the confinement problem in tilted Dirac materials such as borophene. We also show that smooth electron waveguides in tilted Dirac materials can be used to manipulate the degree of valley polarization of quasiparticles travelling along a particular direction of the channel. We examine the particular case of the hyperbolic secant potential to model realistic top-gated structures for valleytronic applications.

This study was designed to obtain the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding Eigenfunctions of the Quantum Harmonic oscillator through an alternative approach. Starting with an appropriate family of solutions to a relevant linear di erential equation, we recover the Schr¨odinger Equation together with its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator via the use of Gram Schmidt orthogonalization process in the usual Hilbert space. Significantly, it was found that there exists two separate sequences arising from the Gram Schmidt Orthogonalization process; one in respect of the even eigenfunctions and the other in respect of the odd eigenfunctions.

In this paper, the perturbation theory is extended to be applicable for systems containing conformable derivative of fractional order [Formula: see text]. This is needed as an essential and powerful approximation method for describing systems with conformable differential equations that are difficult to solve analytically. The work here is derived and discussed for the conformable Hamiltonian systems that appears in the conformable quantum mechanics. The required [Formula: see text]-corrections for the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are derived. To demonstrate this extension, three illustrative examples are given, and the standard values obtained by the traditional theory are recovered when [Formula: see text].

This paper provides a method to bound and calculate any eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of n-th order boundary value problems with sign-regular kernels subject to two-point boundary conditions. The method is based on the selection of a particular type of cone for each eigenpair to be determined, the recursive application of the operator associated to the equivalent integral problem to functions belonging to such a cone, and the calculation of the Collatz–Wielandt numbers of the resulting functions.

Abstract Theoretically, based on a waveguide model, the expression of the tangential stress is formulated for steady, two-dimensional incompressible fluid flow over a flat plate in turbulent boundary layer. It is dependent on some factors, one of them, the behaviour of the last damping mode eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions, that are deduced from solution Orr-Sommerfeld equation by spectral Chebyshev collocation Method. Verification of the latter method is investigated by comparison the deduced formula of turbulent tangential stress with experimental data. In addition to, weight factors in this expression are connected to define the condition of dynamical system solution for multiple 3-wave resonance. This system is solved numerically, and the dynamic invariant is normalized to obtain the time average of the square modulus harmonic, and sub harmonics amplitudes by theorem Birkhoff-Khinchin. Comparison is made between the time-averaged and the phase average for the square modulus of harmonic, and sub harmonic amplitudes that defined on the unit sphere, in the state of multiple 3-wave resonance.

AbstractWe consider the Dirac system on the interval [0, 1] with a spectral parameter $$\mu \in {\mathbb {C}}$$ μ ∈ C and a complex-valued potential with entries from $$L_p[0,1]$$ L p [ 0 , 1 ] , where $$1\le p$$ 1 ≤ p . We study the asymptotic behavior of its solutions in a strip $$|\mathrm{Im}\,\mu |\le d$$ | Im μ | ≤ d for $$\mu \rightarrow \infty $$ μ → ∞ . These results allow us to obtain sharp asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Sturm–Liouville operators associated with the aforementioned Dirac system.

Numerous sound propagation models in underwater acoustics are based on the representation of a sound field in the form of a decomposition over normal modes. In the framework of such models, the calculation of the field in a range-dependent waveguide (as well as in the case of 3D problems) requires the computation of normal modes for every point within the area of interest (that is, for each pair of horizontal coordinates x,y). This procedure is often responsible for the lion’s share of total computational cost of the field simulation. In this study, we present formulae for perturbation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of normal modes under the water depth variations in a shallow-water waveguide. These formulae can reduce the total number of mode computation instances required for a field calculation by a factor of 5–10. We also discuss how these formulae can be used in a combination with a wide-angle mode parabolic equation. The accuracy of such combined model is validated in a series of numerical examples.

We consider a general second order self-adjoint elliptic operator on an arbitrary metric graph, to which a small graph is glued. This small graph is obtained via rescaling a given fixed graph γ by a small positive parameter ε. The coefficients in the differential expression are varying, and they, as well as the matrices in the boundary conditions, can also depend on ε and we assume that this dependence is analytic. We introduce a special operator on a certain extension of the graph γ and assume that this operator has no embedded eigenvalues at the threshold of its essential spectrum. It is known that under such assumption the perturbed operator converges to a certain limiting operator. Our main results establish the convergence of the spectrum of the perturbed operator to that of the limiting operator. The convergence of the spectral projectors is proved as well. We show that the eigenvalues of the perturbed operator converging to limiting discrete eigenvalues are analytic in ε and the same is true for the associated perturbed eigenfunctions. We provide an effective recurrent algorithm for determining all coefficients in the Taylor series for the perturbed eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.
