This paper gives the first full proof of the justification of the linear Boltzmann equation from an underlying long range particle evolution. We suppose that a tagged particle is interacting with a background via a two body potential that…
The density linear response function for an inhomogeneous system of electrons in equilibrium with an array of fixed ions is considered. Two routes to its evaluation for extreme conditions (e.g., warm dense matter) are considered. The first…

We establish upper bounds for the decay rate of the energy of the damped fractional wave equation when the averages of the damping coefficient on all intervals of a fixed length are bounded below. If the power of the fractional Laplacian,…
It is well known that an accelerated charged particle radiates away energy. However, whether an accelerated neutral composite particle radiates away energy is unclear. We study decoherent Larmor radiation from an accelerated neutral…
We consider the total energy decay of the Cauchy problem for wave equations with a potential and an effective damping. We treat it in the whole one-dimensional Euclidean space. Fast energy decay is established with the help of potential.…
We consider the van der Waals interaction between two ground-state atoms embedded in adjacent semi-infinite magnetodielectric media, with emphasis on medium effects on it. We demonstrate that, in this case, at small atom-atom distances the…

In principle, density functional theory yields the correct ground-state densities and energies of electronic systems under the action of a static external potential. However, traditional approximations fail to include Van der Waals energies…

The long-range quadrupole-quadrupole ($\sim R^{-5}$) and leading dispersion ($\sim R^{-6}$) interactions between all pairs of excited Hg($6s6p$) $^3P_0$, $^3P_1$, $^3P_2$, and $^1P_1$ atoms are determined. The quadrupole moments are…

In this work we further advance theoretical investigation of radiation by the electric dipole under the assumption that wavelength is much smaller than charge separation distance of an electric dipole, which in turn is much smaller than a…
Lowe, Bassalleck, Burkhardt, Rusek, Stephenson, and Goldman assert, under the assumption of decays at fixed space-time points, that Kaon induced Lambda oscillations disappear. We find, under the same assumption, that energy conservation and…

We calculate the friction force between two semi-infinite solids in relative parallel motion (velocity $V$), and separated by a vacuum gap of width $d$. The friction force result from coupling via a fluctuating electromagnetic field, and…
