On a probabilistic interpretation of shape derivatives of Dirichlet groundstates with application to Fermion nodes

Mathias Rousset (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper considers Schrödinger operators, and presents a probabilistic interpretation of the variation (or shape derivative) of the Dirichlet groundstate energy when the associated domain is perturbed. This interpretation relies on the distribution on the boundary of a stopped random process with Feynman-Kac weights. Practical computations require in addition the explicit approximation of the normal derivative of the groundstate on the boundary. We then propose to use this formulation in the...

On m -sectorial Schrödinger-type operators with singular potentials on manifolds of bounded geometry

Ognjen Milatovic (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider a Schrödinger-type differential expression H V = * + V , where is a C -bounded Hermitian connection on a Hermitian vector bundle E of bounded geometry over a manifold of bounded geometry ( M , g ) with metric g and positive C -bounded measure d μ , and V is a locally integrable section of the bundle of endomorphisms of E . We give a sufficient condition for m -sectoriality of a realization of H V in L 2 ( E ) . In the proof we use generalized Kato’s inequality as well as a result on the positivity of u L 2 ( M ) satisfying the...

On nodal sets and nodal domains on S 2 and 2

Alexandre Eremenko, Dmitry Jakobson, Nikolai Nadirashvili (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We discuss possible topological configurations of nodal sets, in particular the number of their components, for spherical harmonics on S 2 . We also construct a solution of the equation Δ u = u in 2 that has only two nodal domains. This equation arises in the study of high energy eigenfunctions.

On phase segregation in nonlocal two-particle Hartree systems

Walter Aschbacher, Marco Squassina (2009)

Open Mathematics

We prove the phase segregation phenomenon to occur in the ground state solutions of an interacting system of two self-coupled repulsive Hartree equations for large nonlinear and nonlocal interactions. A self-consistent numerical investigation visualizes the approach to this segregated regime.
