We reduce the solution of the scattering problem defined on the half-line $[0,\infty)$ by a real or complex potential $v(x)$ and a general homogenous boundary condition at $x=0$ to that of the extension of $v(x)$ to the full line that…
We extend the notion of the transfer matrix of potential scattering to a large class of long-range potentials $v(x)$ and derive its basic properties. We outline a dynamical formulation of the time-independent scattering theory for this…
We provide an exact solution of the scattering problem for the potentials of the form $v(x,y)=\chi_a(x)[v_0(x)+ v_1(x)e^{i\alpha y}]$, where $\chi_a(x):=1$ for $x\in[0,a]$, $\chi_a(x):=0$ for $x\notin[0,a]$, $v_j(x)$ are real or…
We develop a dynamical formulation of one-dimensional scattering theory where the reflection and transmission amplitudes for a general, possibly complex and energy-dependent, scattering potential are given as solutions of a set of dynamical…
Achieving exact unidirectional invisibility in a finite frequency band has been an outstanding problem for many years. We offer a simple solution to this problem in two dimensions that is based on our solution to another more basic open…
Infinitely rising one-dimensional potentials constitute impenetrable barriers which reflect totally any incident wave. However, the scattering by such kind of potentials is not structureless: resonances may occur for certain values of the…
In one dimension one can dissect a scattering potential $ v(x) $ into pieces $ v_i(x) $ and use the notion of the transfer matrix to determine the scattering content of $ v(x) $ from that of $ v_i(x) $. This observation has numerous…

We show that in one dimension the transfer matrix M of any scattering potential v coincides with the S-matrix of an associated time-dependent non-Hermitian 2 x 2 matrix Hamiltonian H(\tau). If v is real-valued, H(\tau) is pseudo-Hermitian…
