The stationary points of the Hamiltonian H of the classical XY chain with power-law pair interactions (i.e., decaying like r^{-{\alpha}} with the distance) are analyzed. For a class of "spinwave-type" stationary points, the asymptotic…
We show that for any set of n distinct points in the complex plane, there exists a polynomial p of degree at most n+1 so that the corresponding Newton map, or even the relaxed Newton map, for p has the given points as a super-attracting…

We examine the impact of a complex absorbing potential on electron transport, both in the continuum and on a lattice. This requires the use of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians; the required formalism is briefly outlined. The lattice formulation…
