We consider a quite general problem concerning a linear free oscillation of a discrete mass-spring-damper system. This discrete sub-system is embedded into a one-dimensional continuum medium described by the linear telegraph equation. In a…
Nonlinear damping, the change in damping rate with the amplitude of oscillations plays an important role in many electrical, mechanical and even biological oscillators. In novel technologies such as carbon nanotubes, graphene membranes or…

We study small oscillations of the order parameter in weakly and strongly paired superconductors driven slightly out of equilibrium, in the collisionless approximation. While it was known for quite some time that the amplitude of the…
If a contact of two purely elastic bodies with no sliding (infinite coefficient of friction) is subjected to superimposed oscillations in the normal and tangential directions, then a specific damping appears, that is not dependent on…

Damped sinusoidal oscillations are widely observed in many physical systems, and their analysis provides access to underlying physical properties. However, parameter estimation becomes difficult when the signal decays rapidly, multiple…
We consider a damped wave equation in a bounded domain. The damping is nonlinear and is homogeneous with degree p -- 1 with p > 2. First, we show that the energy of the strong solution in the supercritical case decays as a negative power of…
Collisionless damping of a condensate of cold Fermi atoms, whose scattering is controlled by a Feshbach resonance, is explored throughout the BCS and BEC regimes when small perturbations on its phase and amplitude modes are turned on to…
We study the damped wave equation with a damping coefficient which is possibly singular and unbounded at infinity. In general, zero belongs to the spectrum of the corresponding generator, which prevents a uniform (exponential) decay for the…
Quantum states inevitably decay with time into a probabilistic mixture of classical states, due to their interaction with the environment and measurement instrumentation. We present the first measurement of the decoherence dynamics of…

We show that, in ideal-spin hydrodynamics, the components of the spin tensor follow damped wave equations. The damping rate is related to nonlocal collisions of the particles in the fluid, which enter at first order in $\hbar$ in a…
