PT-symmetric quantum mechanics began with a study of the Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\varepsilon$. When $\varepsilon\geq0$, the eigenvalues of this non-Hermitian Hamiltonian are discrete, real, and positive. This portion of parameter space…

The purpose of this paper is the discussion of a pair of coupled linear oscillators that has recently been proposed as a model of a system of two optical resonators. By means of an algebraic approach we show that the frequencies of the…
Quantum physics is generally concerned with real eigenvalues due to the unitarity of time evolution. With the introduction of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, a widely accepted consensus is that, even if the Hamiltonian of the system is not…
We consider the spectrum of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a periodic lattice of $L$ sites. The first eigenstates have an eigenvalue with real part scaling as $L^{-3/2}$ for large $L$ with finite density of particles.…
We consider two eigenvalue problems for Laplacian on some specific doubly connected domain. In particular, we study the following two eigenvalue problems. Let $B_1$ be an open ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $B_0$ be a ball contained in $B_1$.…
We investigate nodal radial solutions to semilinear problems of type \[\begin{cases}-\Delta u = f(|x|,u) \qquad & \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $\Omega$ is a bounded radially symmetric…
This paper discusses the computation of real Z-eigenvalues and H-eigenvalues of nonsymmetric tensors. A general nonsymmetric tensor has finitely many Z-eigenvalues, while there may be infinitely many ones for special tensors. In the…
Most studies of PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians have considered the Schroedinger eigenvalue problem on an infinite domain. This paper examines the consequences of imposing the boundary conditions on a finite domain. As is the…
We use a power-series expansion to calculate the eigenvalues of anharmonic oscillators bounded by two infinite walls. We show that for large finite values of the separation of the walls, the calculated eigenvalues are of the same high…
