A Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric system with periodically varying-in-time gain and loss modeled by two coupled Schrodinger equations (dimer) is studied. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to a perturbed pendulum-like equation. This is…
We introduce a perturbative approach to solving the time dependent Schroedinger equation, named adiabatic perturbation theory (APT), whose zeroth order term is the quantum adiabatic approximation. The small parameter in the power series…

Analytical methods are used to prove the existence of a periodic, symmetric solution with singularities in the planar 4-body problem. A numerical calculation and simulation are used to generate the orbit. The analytical method easily…
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…
Based on recent well-posedness results in Sobolev (or Besov spaces) for periodic solutions to the Fornberg-Whitham equations we investigate here the questions of wave breaking and blow-up for these solutions. We show first that finite…
In this paper we address the existence of time periodic solutions for the generalized inviscid SQG equation in the unit disc with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition when $\alpha\in (0,1)$. We show the existence of a countable family…
We revisit the so-called folded XXZ model, which was treated earlier by two independent research groups. We argue that this spin-1/2 chain is one of the simplest quantum integrable models, yet it has quite remarkable physical properties.…
The Morse-Hedlund Theorem states that a bi-infinite sequence $\eta$ in a finite alphabet is periodic if and only if there exists $n\in\N$ such that the block complexity function $P_\eta(n)$ satisfies $P_\eta(n)\leq n$. In dimension two,…
Given a set $Z$ of $n$ positive integers and a target value $t$, the Subset Sum problem asks whether any subset of $Z$ sums to $t$. A textbook pseudopolynomial time algorithm by Bellman from 1957 solves Subset Sum in time $O(nt)$. This has…
An ansatz describing in terms of formal asymptotic decompositions a leading term of asymptotics of the $n$ three-dimensional like-charged quantum particles scattering problem solution is suggested. The description of the solution in those…
We prove that, for many parameterized problems in the class FPT, the existence of polynomial kernels implies the collapse of the W-hierarchy (i.e., W[P] = FPT). The collapsing results are also extended to assumed exponential kernels for…
We describe a simple mechanical system that involves Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking. The system consists of two beads constrained to slide along a hoop and attached each other through a spring. When the hoop rotates about a fixed axis, the…
Let $K$ be a field and $P=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. The technique of elimination by substitution is based on discovering a coherently $Z=(z_1,\dots,z_s)$-separating tuple of polynomials $(f_1,\dots,f_s)$ in an ideal $I$, i.e., on finding…
Let $P_k$ be the graded polynomial algebra $\mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_k]$ over the prime field of two elements, $\mathbb F_2$, with the degree of each $x_i$ being 1. We study the hit problem, set up by Frank Peterson, of finding a…
We investigate the soliton resolution and Painlev\'e asymptotics for the focusing Ablowitz-Ladik system with the initial data in a discrete weighted $\ell^2$ space. First, we establish the global well-posedness of this initial-value…
Bootstrap methods, initially developed for solving statistical and quantum field theories, have recently been shown to capture the discrete spectrum of quantum mechanical problems, such as the single particle Schr\"odinger equation with an…
The Unbounded Subset-Sum Problem (USSP) is defined as: given sum $s$ and a set of integers $W\leftarrow \{p_1,\dots,p_n\}$ output a set of non-negative integers $\{y_1,\dots,y_n\}$ such that $p_1y_1+\dots+p_ny_n=s$. The USSP is an…
