In most contemporary approaches to decision making, a decision problem is described by a sets of states and set of outcomes, and a rich set of acts, which are functions from states to outcomes over which the decision maker (DM) has…

We derive a pseudopotential in two dimensions (2D) with the presence of a 2D Rashba spin-orbit-coupling (SOC), following the same spirit of frame transformation in {[}Phys. Rev. A 95, 020702(R) (2017){]}. The frame transformation correctly…

We investigate classical scattering off a harmonically oscillating target in two spatial dimensions. The shape of the scatterer is assumed to have a boundary which is locally convex at any point and does not support the presence of any…

We study the variation of the mean cross section with the density of the samples in the quantum scattering of a particle by a disordered target. The target consists of a set of pointlike scatterers, each having an equal probability of being…
