We show in a simple exactly-solvable toy model that a properly designed impulse perturbation can transiently cool down low-energy degrees of freedom at the expenses of high-energy ones that heat up. The model consists of two infinite-range…

We construct families of one-dimensional (1D) stable solitons in two-component $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and quintic nonlinearity, which plays the critical role in 1D setups. The system models light…
We consider the cubic Schr\"odinger equation on the euclidean space perturbed by a short-range potential $V$. The presence of a negative simple eigenvalue for $-\Delta+V$ gives rise to a curve of small and localized nonlinear ground states…
Much recent progress has been achieved for stabilization of linear and nonlinear systems with input delays that are long and dependent on either time or the plant state---provided the dependence is known. In this paper we consider the delay…
The study proposes new results on the set input-to-state stability (ISS) subject to a small input time delay for compact, invariant sets that contains the origin. First, using the nonlinear small-gain theory, we prove a Razumikhin-type…
Radiatively induced symmetry breaking is considered for a toy model with one scalar and one fermion field unified in a superfield. It is shown that the classical quartic self-interaction of the superfield possesses a quantum infrared…
