We consider the non-homogeneous abstract linear Schr\"odinger and wave equations with zero initial conditions, defined by operators of strip-type and parabola-type in Banach spaces, respectively, and establish the well-posedness of…
We present a physical example, where a fractional (both in space and time) Schr\"odinger equation appears only as a formal effective description of diffusive wave transport in complex inhomogeneous media. This description is a result of the…

In this work we study operator splitting methods for a certain class of coupled abstract Cauchy problems, where the coupling is such that one of the problems prescribes a "boundary type" extra condition for the other one. The theory of…
The Fresnel equation governing the propagation of electromagnetic waves for the most general linear constitutive law is derived. The wave normals are found to lie, in general, on a fourth order surface. When the constitutive coefficients…

In this paper we consider the evolution equation $\partial_t u=\Delta_\mu u+f$ and the corresponding Cauchy problem, where $\Delta_\mu$ represents the Bessel operator $\partial_x^2+(\frac{1}{4}-\mu^2)x^{-2}$, for every $\mu>-1$. We…
While multifractal spectra are convex, general field theoretic arguments show that power of field operators $\phi^f$ yield a concave spectrum of exponents as function of $f$. This is resolved by appropriate choice of operators to describe…
This paper deals with efficient numerical representation and manipulation of differential and integral operators as symbols in phase-space, i.e., functions of space $x$ and frequency $\xi$. The symbol smoothness conditions obeyed by many…

We prove that for the mass critical nonlinear Schrodinger equations, the wave operators and their inverse are related explicitly in terms of the Fourier transform. We discuss some consequences of this property. In the one-dimensional case,…
