On the derivation of a quantum Boltzmann equation from the periodic Von-Neumann equation

François Castella (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present the semi-conductor Boltzmann equation, which is time-reversible, and indicate that it can be formally derived by considering the large time and small perturbing potential limit in the Von-Neumann equation (time-reversible). We then rigorously compute the corresponding asymptotics in the case of the Von-Neumann equation on the Torus. We show that the limiting equation we obtain does not coincide with the physically realistic model. The former is indeed an equation of Boltzmann type, yet...

On the energy and spectral properties of the he matrix of hexagonal systems

Faqir M. Bhatti, Kinkar Ch. Das, Syed A. Ahmed (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The He matrix, put forward by He and He in 1989, is designed as a means for uniquely representing the structure of a hexagonal system (= benzenoid graph). Observing that the He matrix is just the adjacency matrix of a pertinently weighted inner dual of the respective hexagonal system, we establish a number of its spectral properties. Afterwards, we discuss the number of eigenvalues equal to zero of the He matrix of a hexagonal system. Moreover, we obtain a relation between the number of triangles...
