An error analysis of the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method of quantum dynamics

Dajana Conte, Christian Lubich (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper gives an error analysis of the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method for the approximation of multi-particle time-dependent Schrödinger equations. The MCTDH method approximates the multivariate wave function by a linear combination of products of univariate functions and replaces the high-dimensional linear Schrödinger equation by a coupled system of ordinary differential equations and low-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. The main result of this...

An Exposition of the Connection between Limit-Periodic Potentials and Profinite Groups

Z. Gan (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We classify the hulls of different limit-periodic potentials and show that the hull of a limit-periodic potential is a procyclic group. We describe how limit-periodic potentials can be generated from a procyclic group and answer arising questions. As an expository paper, we discuss the connection between limit-periodic potentials and profinite groups as completely as possible and review some recent results on Schrödinger operators obtained in this...

Analytic solutions to nonlocal abstract equations

Marina Ghisi (2003)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In this paper we study the problem of existence of global solutions for some classes of abstract equations, that generalize some type of Klein-Gordon equations, with nonlinear nonlocal terms of Kirchhoff type. We find some conditions that guarantee the existence of such solutions whether in presence or in absence of a conserved energy.

Applications of Lie systems in quantum mechanics and control theory

José F. Cariñena, Arturo Ramos (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Some simple examples from quantum physics and control theory are used to illustrate the application of the theory of Lie systems. We will show, in particular, that for certain physical models both of the corresponding classical and quantum problems can be treated in a similar way, may be up to the replacement of the Lie group involved by a central extension of it. The geometric techniques developed for dealing with Lie systems are also used in problems of control theory. Specifically, we will study...
