We describe a systematic approach for the efficient numerical solution of nonlinear Schr\"odinger-type partial differential equations of the form $(K +V + g|\psi|^2)\psi=0$, with an energy operator $K$, a scalar potential $V$, and a scalar…
Many applications modeled by polynomial systems have positive dimensional solution components (e.g., the path synthesis problems for four-bar mechanisms) that are challenging to compute numerically by homotopy continuation methods. A…
Complex analyses involving multiple, dependent random quantities often lead to graphical models - a set of nodes denoting variables of interest, and corresponding edges denoting statistical interactions between nodes. To develop statistical…
We show that a polynomial H(N) of degree N of a harmonic oscillator hamiltonian allows us to devise a fully solvable continuous quantum system for which the first N discrete energy eigenvalues can be chosen at will. In general such a choice…
