Most finite element methods for solving time-harmonic wave-propagation problems lead to a linear system with a non-normal coefficient matrix. The non-normality is due to boundary conditions and losses. One way to solve these systems is to…

Noncovalent van der Waals (vdW) interactions are responsible for a wide range of phenomena in matter. Popular density-functional methods that treat vdW interactions use disparate physical models for these intricate forces, and as a result…

It is shown that the van der Waals free-energy of polydisperse fluids, as introduced previously (L. Bellier-Castella, H. Xu and M. Baus, {J. Chem. Phys.} {113}, 8337 (2000)), predicts that for certain thermodynamic states (e.g. low…
