We consider the scattering theory for the Schrodinger equation with $-\Delta -|x|^{\alpha}$ as a reference Hamiltonian, for $0< \alpha \leq 2$, in any space dimension. We prove that when this Hamiltonian is perturbed by a potential, the…
Existence and stability of PT-symmetric gap solitons in a periodic structure with defocusing nonlocal nonlinearity are studied both theoretically and numerically. We find that, for any degree of nonlocality, gap solitons are always unstable…

Generally, when imaginary part of an optical potential is non-symmetric the reflectivity, $R(E)$, shows left/right handedness, further if it is not negative-definite the reflection and transmission, $T(E)$, coefficients become anomalous in…
Aspects of of plane wave electromagnetic scattering by a radially inhomogeneous sphere is discussed. The vector problem is reduced to two scalar radial `Schr\"odinger-like' equations, and a connection with time-independent potential…
This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of global solutions to the generalized Hartree equation $$i\dot u+\Delta u+(I_\alpha *|\cdot|^b|u|^p)|x|^b|u|^{p-2}u=0 .$$ Indeed, using a new approach due to \cite{dm}, one proves the scattering…
Version 1: The well known Eckart's singular s-wave potential is PT-symmetrically regularized and continued to the whole real line. The new model remains exactly solvable and its bound states remain proportional to Jacobi polynomials. Its…

In this paper, we study time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering in two scenarios, where the anomalous scatterer is either a pair of electromagnetic sources or an inhomogeneous medium, both with compact supports. We are mainly concerned…
We make a relativistic extension of the one-dimensional J-matrix method of scattering. The relativistic potential matrix is a combination of vector, scalar, and pseudo-scalar components. These are non-singular short-range potential…
We review recent work on the generalization of PT symmetry. We show that, in addition to PT-symmetric complex potentials, there are also large classes of non-PT-symmetric complex potentials which also feature all-real spectra. In addition,…
