For non-interacting electrons the one-particle density matrix and the related Wannier functions characterize a material as insulating or metallic. Introducing many-body Wannier functions, we show that this characterization can be carried…
Wannier functions of the one dimensional Schroedinger equation with elliptic one gap potentials are explicitly constructed. Properties of these functions are analytically and numerically investigated. In particular we derive an expression…
The existence and construction of exponentially localised Wannier functions for insulators is a well-studied problem. In comparison, the case of metallic systems has been much less explored, even though localised Wannier functions…
Using energy methods, we prove some power-law and exponential decay estimates for classical and nonlocal evolutionary equations. The results obtained are framed into a general setting, which comprise, among the others, equations involving…
We consider the motion of a power-law-like generalized Newtonian fluid in R^3, where the power-law index is a variable function. This system of nonlinear partial differential equations arises in mathematical models of electrorheological…
Non-trivial Chern classes pose an obstruction to the existence of exponentially decaying Wannier functions which provide natural bases for spectral subspaces. For non-trivial Bloch bundles, we obtain decay rates of Wannier functions in…
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,…
A map $f$ on a compact metric space is expansive if and only if $f^n$ is expansive. We study the exponential rate of decay of the expansive constant of $f^n$. A major result is that this rate times box dimension bounds topological entropy.
Analytic results for the asymptotic decay of the electron density matrix in insulators have been obtained in all three dimensions ($D=1 - 3$) for a tight-binding model defined on a simple cubic lattice. The anisotropic decay length is shown…
We consider the applicability of phase space Wannier functions" to electronic structure calculations. These generalized Wannier functions are analogous to localized plane waves and constitute a complete, orthonormal set which is…
We investigate the decay estimates of global solutions for a class of one-dimensional inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. While most existing results focus on spatial dimensions $d\geq2$, the decay properties in one dimension…
In the paper, a simple model of alpha decay with Dirac delta potential is studied. The model leads to breakdown of the exponential decay and to power law behavior at asymptotic times. Time dependence of the survival probability of the…
We define Wannier functions for interacting systems, and show that the results on the localization of the Wannier functions for non-interacting systems carry over to the Wannier functions for interacting systems. In addition we demonstrate…
The exponential localization of Wannier functions in two or three dimensions is proven for all insulators that display time-reversal symmetry, settling a long-standing conjecture. Our proof relies on the equivalence between the existence of…
The behavior of Laplacian eigenfunctions in domains with branches is investigated. If an eigenvalue is below a threshold which is determined by the shape of the branch, the associated eigenfunction is proved to exponentially decay inside…
We study the one-dimensional wave equation with an inverse power potential that equals $const.x^{-m}$ for large $|x|$ where $m$ is any positive integer greater than or equal to 3. We show that the solution decays pointwise like $t^{-m}$ for…
We show that the components of finite energy solutions to general nonlinear Schr\"odinger systems have exponential decay at infinity. Our results apply to positive or sign-changing components, and to cooperative, competitive, or…
We study the large time behavior of solutions to the semilinear wave equation with space-dependent damping and absorbing nonlinearity in the whole space or exterior domains. Our result shows how the amplitude of the damping coefficient, the…
The asymptotic behavior of some semilinear parabolic PDEs is analyzed by means of a "mean value" property. This property allows us to determine, by means of appropriate {\em{a priori}} estimates, some exponential decay results for suitable…
A space of entire functions of several complex variables rapidly decreasing on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and such that their growth along $i{\mathbb R}^n$ is majorized with a help of a family of weight functions is considered in the paper. For this…
