It is well known that waves propagating in a nontrivial medium develop ``tails''. However, the exact form of the late-time tail has so far been determined only for a narrow class of models. We present a systematic analysis of the tail…
It is well-known that waves propagating under the influence of a scattering potential develop ``tails''. However, the study of late-time tails has so far been restricted to time-independent backgrounds. In this paper we explore the…
The exact wave functions that describe scattering of a charged particle by a confined magnetic field (Aharonov-Bohm effect) and by a Coulomb field are analyzed. It is well known that the usual procedure of finding asymptotic forms of these…
The tails of gravitational waves are caused by scattering of linear waves onto the space-time curvature generated by the total mass-energy of the source. Quite naturally, the tails of tails are caused by curvature scattering of the tails of…
The scattering problem under the influence of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) potential is reconsidered. By solving the Lippmann-Schwinger (LS) equation we obtain the wave function of the scattering state in this system. In spite of working with a…
Scattering of time-harmonic plane wave by two parallel semi-infinite rows, but with staggered edges, is considered on square lattice. The condition imposed on the semi-infinite rows is a discrete analogue of Neumann boundary condition. A…
We point out a misleading treatment in the literature regarding to bound-state solutions for the $s$-wave Klein-Gordon equation with exponential scalar and vector potentials. Following the appropriate procedure for an arbitrary mixing of…
We study the 1D Klein-Gordon equation with variable coefficient cubic nonlinearity. This problem exhibits a striking resonant interaction between the spatial frequencies of the nonlinear coefficients and the temporal oscillations of the…
Whereas the short time behaviour of an unstable quantum mechanical system is well understood from its theoretical as well as experimental side, the long time tail of the very same systems has neither been measured experimentally nor is…
We solve the problem of electron scattering at a potential temporal step discontinuity. We show that the Schrodinger equation cannot account for scattering in this problem, necessitating resort to the Dirac equation, and that breaking gauge…
We study the asymptotic behavior and the scattering from infinity problem for the massive Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system in the Lorenz gauge, which were previously only studied for the massless system. For a general class of initial data, in…
We consider the asymptotic behavior of small global-in-time solutions to a 1D Klein-Gordon equation with a spatially localized, variable coefficient quadratic nonlinearity and a non-generic linear potential. The purpose of this work is to…

An approach based on splitting the reaction potential into a finite range part and a long range tail part to describe few-body scattering in the case of a Coulombic interaction is proposed. The solution to the Schr\"odinger equation for the…
The fundamental quantities of potential scattering theory are generalized to accommodate long-range interactions. New definitions for the scattering amplitude and wave operators valid for arbitrary interactions including potentials with a…
We study the Klein paradox for the semi-classical Dirac operator on $\R$ with potentials having constant limits, not necessarily the same at infinity. Using the complex WKB method, the time-independent scattering theory in terms of incoming…
We consider the scattering theory for the Schrodinger equation with $-\Delta -|x|^{\alpha}$ as a reference Hamiltonian, for $0< \alpha \leq 2$, in any space dimension. We prove that when this Hamiltonian is perturbed by a potential, the…
A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…
Based on the work of Nuttall and Cohen [Phys. Rev. {\bf 188} (1969) 1542] and Resigno et al{} [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 55} (1997) 4253] we present a rigorous formalism for solving the scattering problem for long-range interactions without using…
The two-body Coulomb scattering problem is solved using the standard complex scaling method. The explicit enforcement of the scattering boundary condition is avoided. Splitting of the scattering wave function based on the Coulomb modified…
