The quantum quartic anharmonic oscillator with the Hamiltonian $H=\frac{1}{2}\left( p^{2}+x^{2}\right) +\lambda x^{4}$ is a classical and fundamental model that plays a key role in various branches of physics, including quantum mechanics,…

Conventionally while we talk about geometry associated with a simple harmonic oscillator, we draw a circle with a radius equal to the amplitude of Oscillator and imagine a particle moving along the perimeter with a frequency same as that of…
Oscillons are localised long-lived pulsating states in the three-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory. We gain insight into the spatio-temporal structure and bifurcation of the oscillons by studying time-periodic solutions in a ball of a finite…
We study wave propagation in networks of coupled cells which can behave as excitable or self-oscillatory media. For excitable media, an asymptotic construction of wave trains is presented. This construction predicts their shape and speed,…
A trajectory of a harmonic oscillator obeying the Schreodinger wave equation is exactly derived and illustrated. The trajectory resembles well the classical orbit between the turning points, and also runs through the tunneling region. The…
Spaces of harmonic functions in upper half-space with controlled growth near the boundary are described in terms of multiresolution approximations. The results are applied to prove the law of the iterated logarithm for the oscillation of…
We make publicly available an efficient, versatile, easy to use and extend tool for calculating the evolution of circular aligned planetary orbits due to the tidal dissipation in the host star. This is the first model to fully account for…
Given a minimum measurable length underlying spacetime, the latter may be effectively regarded as discrete, at scales of order the Planck length. A systematic discretization of continuum physics may be effected most efficiently through the…
It is intuitively imagined that the energy of a classical object always takes continues values and can hardly be confined to discrete ones like the energy levels of microscopic systems. Here, we demonstrate that such classical energy levels…
This report is a review of Darwin's classical theory of bodily tides in which we present the analytical expressions for the orbital and rotational evolution of the bodies and for the energy dissipation rates due to their tidal interaction.…
Proper vertebrae formation relies on a tissue-wide oscillator called the segmentation clock. Individual cellular oscillators in the presomitic mesoderm are modulated by intercellular coupling and external signals, leading to the propagation…
We present an implementation of a recently proposed procedure for defining time, based on the description of the evolving system and its clock as non-interacting, entangled systems, according to the Page and Wootters approach. We study how…
Kucha{\v{r}} showed that the quantum dynamics of (1 polarization) cylindrical wave solutions to vacuum general relativity is determined by that of a free axially-symmetric scalar field along arbitrary axially-symmetric foliations of a fixed…
The coupled motion is investigated for a mechanical system consisting of water and a body freely floating in it. Water occupies either a half-space or a layer of constant depth into which an infinitely long surface-piercing cylinder is…
Mechanisms are elucidated underlying the existence of dynamical systems whose generic solutions approach asymptotically (at large time) isochronous evolutions: all their dependent variables tend asymptotically to functions periodic with the…
The problem of quantum harmonic oscillator with "regular+random" square frequency, subjected to "regular+random external force, is considered in framework of representation of the wave function by complex-valued random process. Average…
In this article, we formulate the study of the unitary time evolution of systems consisting of an infinite number of uncoupled time-dependent harmonic oscillators in mathematically rigorous terms. We base this analysis on the theory of a…
It is well-known that quantum mechanics admits two distinct evolutions: the unitary evolution, which is deterministic and well described by the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, and the collapse of the wave function, which is probablistic,…
It has been reported that traveling waves propagate periodically and stably in sub-excitable systems driven by noise [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{88}, 138301 (2002)]. As a further investigation, here we observe different types of traveling…
