We consider approximations to the solutions of differential Riccati equations in the context of linear quadratic regulator problems, where the state equation is governed by a multiscale operator. Similarly to elliptic and parabolic…
Nuclear-size corrections of order $(Z \alpha)^5$ and $(Z \alpha)^6$ to the S-state levels of hydrogenic atoms are considered. These nuclear-elastic contributions are somewhat smaller than the polarizability (nuclear-inelastic) corrections…
In this paper we review the definition and properties of redundant operators in the exact renormalisation group. We explain why it is important to require them to be eigenoperators and why generically they appear only as a consequence of…
We perform conformal perturbation theory by marginal operators to first order. A suitable renormalization method is needed that makes the conformal invariance of the deformed correlation functions manifest. Combining the embedding space…
Recoil corrections to the atomic decay rate are considered in the order of Zm/M . The expressions are treated exactly without any expansion over Z alpha. The expressions obtained are valid both for muonic atoms (for which they contribute on…
We derive an analytical expression for the contribution of the order $m\alpha^2 (Z\alpha)^6$ to the hydrogen Lamb shift which comes from the diagrams for radiative corrections to the Wichmann-Kroll potential. We use modern methods of…
In nonrelativistic QED the charge of an electron equals its bare value, whereas the self-energy and the mass have to be renormalized. In our contribution we study perturbative mass renormalization, including second order in the fine…
A procedure is suggested for calculating electro-excitation multipoles to order $1/M^{2}_{N}$ with only the operators required in the calculations to order $1/M_{N}$. It is also shown that calculations to order $1/M^{2}_{N}$ cannot account…
Radiative corrections to the decay rate of n=2 states of hydrogenic ions are calculated. The transitions considered are the M1 decay of the 2s state to the ground state and the E1(M2) decays of the $2p_{1/2}$ and $2p_{3/2}$ states to the…
Three-loop electronic vacuum-polarization corrections due to irreducible diagrams are evaluated for two-body muonic ions with nuclear charge numbers 1 <= Z <= 6. The corrections are of order alpha^3 (Zalpha)^2 m_r, where alpha is the…
Reduction operators (called also nonclassical or $Q$-conditional symmetries) of variable coefficient semilinear reaction-diffusion equations with exponential source $f(x)u_t=(g(x)u_x)_x+h(x)e^{mu}$ are investigated using the algorithm…
The oblique part of the radiative corrections to the Left-Right model is described. The leading non-logarithmic terms are explicitly written. It is argued, on the basis of a comparison with the Standard Model, that one cannot use the loop…
A systematic method for calculating higher-order corrections of the relativistic semiclassical fixed-energy amplitude is given. The central scheme in computing corrections of all orders is related to a time ordering operation of an operator…
We consider a regularization concept for the solution of ill--posed operator equations, where the operator is composed of a continuous and a discontinuous operator. A particular application is level set regularization, where we develop a…
