The two-dimensional transient problem that is studied concerns a semi-infinite crack in an isotropic solid comprising an infinite strip and a half-plane joined together and having the same elastic constants. The crack propagates along the…
We examine a fractional Discrete Nonlinear Schrodinger dimer, where the usual first-order derivative of the time evolution is replaced by a non integer-order derivative. The dimer is nonlinear (Kerr) and PT -symmetric, and we examine the…

We present high--spatial resolution studies of the density field as predicted by Lagrangian perturbation approximations up to the third order. The first--order approximation is equivalent to the ``Zel'dovich approximation'' for the type of…
For one dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanical problems, we investigate the conditions for all the position dependence of the propagator to be in its phase, that is, the semi-classical approximation to be exact. For velocity…
The Gaussian Wave-Packet phase-space representation is used to show that the expansion in powers of $\hbar$ of the quantum Liouville propagator leads, in the zeroth order term, to results close to those obtained in the statistical…
