Many physical systems can be described by nonlinear eigenvalues and bifurcation problems with a linear part that is non-selfadjoint e.g. due to the presence of loss and gain. The balance of these effects is reflected in an antilinear…
Nonlinearity and non-Hermiticity, for example due to environmental gain-loss processes, are a common occurrence throughout numerous areas of science and lie at the root of many remarkable phenomena. For the latter, parity-time-reflection…
