Long-distance transmission of energy by waves is a key mechanism for many natural processes. It becomes possible when the inhomogeneous medium is arranged in such a manner that it enables a specific type of waves to propagate with virtually…
In this paper, we study the decoherence of a wave described by the solution to a Schroedinger equation with a time-dependent random potential. The random potential is assumed to have slowly decaying correlations. The main tool to analyze…
We study propagation of electromagnetic surface waves on a metal-air interface in the case when the wave frequency is below the plasma frequency. We derive a reduced wave equation for a metal cylinder with a given radius of curvature. Using…
This paper is about the scattering theory for one-dimensional matrix Schr\"odinger operators with a matrix potential having a finite first moment. The transmission coefficients are analytically continued and extended to the band edges. An…
We study one-dimensional scattering for a decaying potential with rapid periodic oscillations and strong localized singularities. In particular, we consider the Schr\"odinger equation \[ H_\epsilon \psi := (-\partial_x^2 + V_0(x) +…
Here, we investigate the physical mechanisms that may enable squeezing a complex electromagnetic field distribution through a narrow and/or partially obstructed region with little amplitude and phase distortions. Following our recent works,…
We analytically study a scattering of long linear surface waves on stationary currents in a duct (canal) of constant depth and variable width. It is assumed that the background velocity linearly increases or decreases with the longitudinal…
Optical beam propagation in random media is characterized by familiar speckle patterns generated by intricate interference effects. Such patterns may be modified and possibly attenuated for partially coherent incident beam profiles. In the…
We study the propagation, observation and control properties of the 1-d wave equation on a bounded interval discretized in space using the quadratic classical finite element approximation. A careful Fourier analysis of the discrete wave…
Bloch wavefunctions are used to derive dispersion relations for water wave propagation in the presence of an infinite array of periodically arranged surface scatterers. For one dimensional periodicity (stripes), band gaps for wavevectors in…
We study a version of the mathematical Ruijsenaars-Schneider model, and reinterpret it physically in order to describe the spreading with time of quantum wave packets in a system where multifractality can be tuned by varying a parameter. We…
Formulas are derived for solutions of many-body wave scattering problems by small particles in the case of acoustically soft, hard, and impedance particles embedded in an inhomogeneous medium. The limiting case is considered, when the size…
This work relates quantitatively homogenization to Anderson localization for acoustic operators in disordered media. By blending dispersive estimates for homogenized operators and quantitative homogenization of the wave equation, we derive…
Wavelet coefficients are estimated recursively at progressively coarser scales recursively. As a result, the estimation is prone to multiplicative propagation of truncation errors due to quantization and round-off at each stage. Yet, the…
The pressure components of "soft" disks in a two dimensional narrow channel are analyzed in the dilute gas regime using the Mayer cluster expansion and molecular dynamics. Channels with either periodic or reflecting boundaries are…
The focus of our work is dispersive, second-order effective model describing the low-frequency wave motion in heterogeneous (e.g.~functionally-graded) media endowed with periodic microstructure. For this class of quasi-periodic medium…
We study linear transmission and nonlinear soliton transport through quasi-periodic structures, which profiles are described by multiple modulation frequencies. We show that resonant scattering at mixed-frequency resonances limits…
We study the growth of small-scale inhomogeneities of the density of particles floating in weakly nonlinear, small-amplitude, surface waves. Despite the amplitude smallness, the accumulated effect of the long-time evolution may produce…
We investigate potential scattering and tunneling dynamics of a particle wavepacket evolving according to the relativistic Schr\"odinger equation (also known as the Salpeter equation). The tunneling properties of the Salpeter equation…
The Wigner time delay of slow particles in the process of their elastic scattering by complex targets formed by several zero-range potentials is investigated. It is shown that at asymptotically large distances from the target, the…
