Gamow's approach to exponential decay of meta-stable particles via complex 'eigenvalues' (resonances) of a Hamiltonian is scrutinized. We explain the sense in which the non-square-integrable 'eigenfunctions' that belong to these resonances…
Gamow's explanation of the exponential decay law uses complex "eigenvalues" and exponentially growing "eigenfunctions". This raises the question, how Gamow's description fits into the quantum mechanical description of nature, which is based…
We construct the Gamow Golden Rule of multichannel scattering, and use it to obtain the decay distributions, the partial decay constants, the partial decay widths, and the branching fractions of a resonance that has several decay modes. We…

We propose formulas of the nuclear beta-decay rate that are useful in a practical calculation. The decay rate is determined by the product of the lepton and hadron current densities. A widely used formula relies upon the fact that the…

By using the fact that the Gamow states in the momentum representation are square integrable, we obtain the differential and the total decay width of a two-body, non-relativistic decay. The resulting Gamow Golden Rule is well suited to…
The energy of solutions of the scalar damped wave equation decays uniformly exponentially fast when the geometric control condition is satisfied. A theorem of Lebeau [leb93] gives an expression of this exponential decay rate in terms of the…
For fractional wave equations with low H\"older regularity damping, we establish quantitative energy decay rates for their solutions when the geometric control condition holds. The energy decay rates depend explicitly on the H\"older…

In this paper we consider energy decay estimates for the Cauchy problems of dissipative wave equations with time dependent coefficients, in particular, the coefficients consisting of weak dissipation and very fast oscillating terms. For…
We consider the total energy decay of the Cauchy problem for wave equations with a potential and an effective damping. We treat it in the whole one-dimensional Euclidean space. Fast energy decay is established with the help of potential.…
We establish upper bounds for the decay rate of the energy of the damped fractional wave equation when the averages of the damping coefficient on all intervals of a fixed length are bounded below. If the power of the fractional Laplacian,…
In this paper we consider the local energy decay result for wave equations with a short-range potential. It is important to note that one never uses a finite speed of propagation property unlike the historical previous papers. The essential…
