Far from equilibrium, chemical and biological systems can form complex patterns and waves through reaction-diffusion coupling. Fluid motion often interferes with these self-organized concentration patterns. In this study, we investigate the…
It is well-known that reconstruction algorithms in quantitative susceptibility mapping often contain streaking artifacts. In [1], the cause of the artifacts is identified as propagation of singularities. In this work, we analyze such…
Topological constraints can affect both equilibrium and dynamic properties of polymer systems, and can play a role in the organization of chromosomes. Despite many theoretical studies, the effects of topological constraints on the…
Crack growth is the basic mechanism leading to the failure of brittle materials. Engineering addresses this problem within the framework of continuum mechanics, which links deterministically the crack motion to the applied loading. Such an…
Process of quantum tunneling of particles in various physical systems can be effectively controlled even by a weak and slow varying in time electromagnetic signal if to adapt specially its shape to a particular system. During an…
The backbone of nonequilibrium thermodynamics is the stability structure, where entropy is related to a Lyapunov function of thermodynamic equilibrium. Stability is the background of natural selection: unstable systems are temporary, and…
Complex fission phenomena are studied in a unified way. Very general reflection asymmetrical equilibrium (saddle point) nuclear shapes are obtained by solving an integro-differential equation without being necessary to specify a certain…
We review well-known signatures of disorder in crystallographic and inelastic neutron scattering data. We show that these can arise from different types of disorder, corresponding to different values of the system entropy. Correlating the…
Concepts like `typicality' and the `eigenstate thermalization hypothesis' aim at explaining the apparent equilibration of quantum systems, possibly after a very long time. However, these concepts are not concerned with the specific way in…
The separability and Runge-Lenz-type dynamical symmetry of the internal dynamics of certain two-electron Quantum Dots, found by Simonovi\'c et al. [1], is traced back to that of the perturbed Kepler problem. A large class of axially…
The (1+1)-dimensional classical $\varphi^4$ theory contains stable, topological excitations in the form of solitary waves or kinks, as well as stable but non-topological solutions, such as the oscillon. Both are used in effective…
The unique property of Coulomb interaction in strict one-dimensional (1D) system is revealed that the Coulomb repulsion energy of paired electrons is divergent. As consequences, electrons in 1D system can not doubly occupy the same spatial…
Carbon nanotubes are a feverishly-studied topic in the scientific community as of late. Mathematically, they can be modeled with a quantum graph. Here we consider a structure somewhat similar to carbon nanotubes, another quantum graph that…
This work deals with lump-like structures in models described by a single real scalar field in two-dimensional spacetime. We start with a model that supports lump-like configurations and use the deformation procedure to construct scalar…
The necessity and benefit of singular solutions in the study of physical systems is shown. By singular solutions we mean solutions that are not contained in the general solution of the system of equations that describes the dynamic system…
There has been much recent work on quantum inequalities to constrain negative energy. These are uncertainty principle-type restrictions on the magnitude and duration of negative energy densities or fluxes. We consider several examples of…
Confined to small regions, quantum systems exhibit electronic and structural properties different from their free space behavior. In Coulomb 3-body problems, configurations of close proximity of identically charged particles are classically…
Decaying turbulence is studied numerically using as initial condition a random flow whose shell-integrated energy spectrum increases with wavenumber k like k^q. Alternatively, initial conditions are generated from a driven turbulence…
Quantum mechanics provides a statistical description about nature, and thus would be incomplete if its statistical predictions could not be accounted for by some realistic models with hidden variables. There are, however, two powerful…
Fluids with internal microstructure like dense suspensions, biological and polymer added fluids, are commonly found in the turbulent regime in many applications. Their flow is extremely difficult to be studied as microstructure complexity…
