We introduce and solve from first principles a continuous-time quantum walk with absorption generated by a Lindblad boundary sink of arbitrary strength. Tracing out the sink maps the problem onto a non-Hermitian tight-binding Hamiltonian…

We investigate quantitative (or effective) versions of the limiting absorption principle, for the Schr\"odinger operator on asymptotically conic manifolds with short-range potentials, and in particular consider estimates of the form $$ \|…

We prove a Limiting Absorption Principle for Schr{\"o}dinger operators in tubes about infinite curves embedded in the Euclidian space with different types of boundary conditions. The argument is based on the Mourre theory with conjugate…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of contractive operators and strongly continuous semigroups on separable Hilbert spaces using the notion of rigidity. In particular, we show that a "typical" contraction $T$ contains the unit circle times…

We prove the limiting absorption principle on the non-compact interval $I$, on which the uniformly positive Mourre estimate holds. We reveal that such a result yields so-called smoothing estimates.

We study the limiting absorption principle and the well-posedness of Maxwell equations with anisotropic sign-changing coefficients in the time-harmonic domain. The starting point of the analysis is to obtain Cauchy problems associated with…

This paper investigates a multilayered Helmholtz model in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d \ge 2$) characterized by concentric layers of materials with alternating positive and negative refractive indices. To overcome the loss of coercivity induced by…

Our main theorem is in the generality of the axioms of Hilbert space, and the theory of unbounded operators. Consider two Hilbert spaces such that their intersection contains a fixed vector space D. It is of interest to make a precise…

Absorption of two-state coined quantum walks on a finite line with two sinks located at $N$ and $-N$ is investigated. Elaborating on the results of Konno et al., J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 36 241 (2003), we derive closed formulas for the…

We investigate state estimation in discrete-time quantum walks with a single absorbing boundary. Using a spectral approach, we obtain closed expressions for the escape probability as a function of the initial coin state and the boundary…

We present some improvements in the method of the weakly conjugate operator, one variant of the Mourre theory. When applied to certain two-body Schroedinger operators, this leads to a limiting absorption principle that is uniform on the…

For spherically symmetric repulsive Hamiltonians we prove the Besov bound, the radiation condition bounds and the limiting absorption principle. The Sommerfeld uniqueness result also follows as a corollary of these. In particular, the…

We introduce a class of absorption mechanisms and study the behavior of real-valued centered random walks with finite variance that do not get absorbed. In particular, we prove persistence and scaling limit results, which, in many cases of…

Absorbing layers are sometimes required to be impractically thick in order to offer an accurate approximation of an absorbing boundary condition for the Helmholtz equation in a heterogeneous medium. It is always possible to reduce an…
