We obtain exact solutions to the class of parabolic partial differential equations of arbitrary dimensionality and with arbitrary potentials. The solutions are presented in a compact-form: as explicit mathematical expressions consisting of…
Causality is pivotal to our understanding of the world, presenting itself in different forms: information-theoretic and relativistic, the former linked to the flow of information, the latter to the structure of space-time. Leveraging a…
Information-theoretic arguments are used to obtain a link between the accurate linearity of Schrodinger's equation and Lorentz invariance: A possible violation of the latter at short distances would imply the appearance of nonlinear…
Three different numerical techniques for solving a coupled channel Schroedinger equation are compared. This benchmark equation, which describes the collision between two ultracold atoms, consists of two channels, each containing the same…
The integrating factor technique is widely used to solve numerically (in particular) the Schr\"odinger equation in the context of spectral methods. Here, we present an improvement of this method exploiting the freedom provided by the gauge…
Numerical solutions for flows in partially saturated porous media pose challenges related to the non-linearity and elliptic-parabolic degeneracy of the governing Richards' equation. Iterative methods are therefore required to manage the…
We consider numerical methods for linear parabolic equations in one spatial dimension having piecewise constant diffusion coefficients defined by a one parameter family of interface conditions at the discontinuity. We construct immersed…
We derive the stochastic Schrodinger equation for the limit of continuous weak measurement where the observables monitored are canonical position and momentum. To this end we extend an argument due to Smolianov and Truman from the von…
For the numerical solution of the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with periodic boundary conditions, a pseudospectral method in space combined with a filtered Lie splitting scheme in time is considered. This scheme is shown to…
The measurement problem in quantum mechanics originates in the inability of the Schr\"odinger equation to predict definite outcomes of measurements. This is due to the lack of objectivity of the eigenstates of the measuring apparatus. Such…

I explain a simple definition of causality in widespread use, and indicate how it links to the Kramers Kronig relations. The specification of causality in terms of temporal differential eqations then shows us the way to write down dynamical…
A numerical method is described for studying how elastic waves interact with imperfect contacts such as fractures or glue layers existing between elastic solids. These contacts have been classicaly modeled by interfaces, using a simple…
A previous derivation of the single-particle Schr\"odinger equation from statistical assumptions is generalized to an arbitrary number $N$ of particles moving in three-dimensional space. Spin and gauge fields are also taken into account. It…
In this paper we demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to solve numerically the Cauchy problem for the linearisation of the general conformal field equations near spacelike infinity, which is only well-defined in Friedrich's…
We present numerical results for the solution of the 1D critical nonlinear Schrodinger with periodic boundary conditions and initial data that give rise to a finite time singularity. We construct, through the Mori-Zwanzig formalism, a…
We describe space--time fluctuations by means of small fluctuations of the metric on a given background metric. From a minimally coupled Klein--Gordon equation we obtain within a weak-field approximation up to second order and an averaging…
One of the motivations for using fractional calculus in physical systems is due to fact that many times, in the space and time variables we are dealing which exhibit coarse-grained phenomena, meaning that infinitesimal quantities cannot be…
The aim of this work is to study the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger problem using a combination between Witt basis and finite difference approximations. We construct a discrete fundamental solution for the non-stationary…
