The continuous Coupled Cluster formulation for the electronic Schrödinger equation

Thorsten Rohwedder (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Nowadays, the Coupled Cluster (CC) method is the probably most widely used high precision method for the solution of the main equation of electronic structure calculation, the stationary electronic Schrödinger equation. Traditionally, the equations of CC are formulated as a nonlinear approximation of a Galerkin solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation, i.e. within a given discrete subspace. Unfortunately, this concept prohibits the direct application of concepts of nonlinear numerical analysis...

The discrete-time parabolic Anderson model with heavy-tailed potential

Francesco Caravenna, Philippe Carmona, Nicolas Pétrélis (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider a discrete-time version of the parabolic Anderson model. This may be described as a model for a directed ( 1 + d ) -dimensional polymer interacting with a random potential, which is constant in the deterministic direction and i.i.d. in the d orthogonal directions. The potential at each site is a positive random variable with a polynomial tail at infinity. We show that, as the size of the system diverges, the polymer extremity is localized almost surely at one single point which grows ballistically....

The dynamics of a levitated cylindrical permanent magnet above a superconductor.

Michael Schreiner (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

When a permanent magnet is released above a superconductor, it is levitated. This is due to the Meissner-effect, i.e. the repulsion of external magnetic fields within the superconductor. In experiments, an interesting behavior of the levitated magnet can be observed: it might start to oscillate with increasing amplitude and some magnets even reach a continuous rotation. In this paper we develop a mathematical model for this effect and identify by analytical methods as well with finite element simulations...

The entropy principle: from continuum mechanics to hyperbolic systems of balance laws

Tommaso Ruggeri (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We discuss the different roles of the entropy principle in modern thermodynamics. We start with the approach of rational thermodynamics in which the entropy principle becomes a selection rule for physical constitutive equations. Then we discuss the entropy principle for selecting admissible discontinuous weak solutions and to symmetrize general systems of hyperbolic balance laws. A particular attention is given on the local and global well-posedness of the relative Cauchy problem for smooth solutions....

The local relaxation flow approach to universality of the local statistics for random matrices

László Erdős, Benjamin Schlein, Horng-Tzer Yau, Jun Yin (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We present a generalization of the method of the local relaxation flow to establish the universality of local spectral statistics of a broad class of large random matrices. We show that the local distribution of the eigenvalues coincides with the local statistics of the corresponding Gaussian ensemble provided the distribution of the individual matrix element is smooth and the eigenvalues {xj}j=1N are close to their classical location {γj}j=1N determined by the limiting density of eigenvalues. Under...
