This is the full and extended version of the brief note arXiv:1908.00938. A nontrivially solvable 4-dimensional Hamiltonian system is applied to the problem of wave fronts and to the asymptotic theory of partial differential equations. The…
We determine the phase portrait of a Hamiltonian system of equations describing the motion of the particles in linear deep-water waves. The particles experience in each period a forward drift which decreases with greater depth.

The competition between Hamiltonian and Lindblad dynamics in quantum systems give rise to non-equillibrium phenomena with no counter part in conventional condensed matter physics. In this paper, we investigate this interplay of dynamics in…
Spiral waves are striking self-organized coherent structures that organize spatio-temporal dynamics in dissipative, spatially extended systems. In this paper, we provide a conceptual approach to various properties of spiral waves. Rather…

We develop a dissipative extension of classical mechanics based on a complex, and more generally quaternionic, action principle that endows every classical system with an intrinsic environment. Decomposing the action into conservative and…
A thermodynamic analysis of the harmonic oscillator is presented. Motivation for the study is provided by the blackbody radiation spectrum; when blackbody radiation is regarded as a system of noninteracting harmonic oscillator modes, the…
We discuss the dynamics of a spin coupled to a damped harmonic oscillator. This system can be mapped to a spin-boson model with a structured bath, i.e. the spectral function of the bath has a resonance peak. We diagonalize the model by…
