Optimal design of turbines with an attached mass

Boris P. Belinskiy, C. Maeve McCarthy, Terry J. Walters (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We minimize, with respect to shape, the moment of inertia of a turbine having the given lowest eigenfrequency of the torsional oscillations. The necessary conditions of optimality in conjunction with certain physical parameters admit a unique optimal design.

Properties of non-hermitian quantum field theories

Carl M. Bender (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper I discuss quantum systems whose Hamiltonians are non-Hermitian but whose energy levels are all real and positive. Such theories are required to be symmetric under 𝒞 𝒫 𝒯 , but not symmetric under 𝒫 and 𝒯 separately. Recently, quantum mechanical systems having such properties have been investigated in detail. In this paper I extend the results to quantum field theories. Among the systems that I discuss are - φ 4 and i φ 3 theories. These theories all have unexpected and remarkable properties. I discuss...
