We re-examine the status of the weak value of a quantum mechanical observable as an objective physical concept, addressing its physical interpretation and general domain of applicability. We show that the weak value can be regarded as a…

The weak equivalence principle is studied in a space with noncommutativity of coordinates and noncommutativity of momenta. We find conditions on the parameters of noncommutativity which give the possibility to recover the equivalence…

In quantum theory, a weak value is a complex number with a somewhat technical definition: it is a ratio whose numerator is the matrix element of a self-adjoint operator and whose denominator is the inner product of a corresponding pair of…

We study the phase space of the evolution equation h_t = -(f(h) h_{xxx})_x - (g(h) h_x)_x by means of a dissipated energy (a Liapunov function). Here h(x,t) is nonnegative, and at h=0 the coefficient functions f>0 and g can either…
