A Lieb-Thirring bound for a magnetic Pauli Hamiltonian (II).

Luca Bugliaro, Charles L. Fefferman, Gian Michele Graf (1999)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We establish a Lieb-Thirring type estimate for Pauli Hamiltonians with non-homogeneous magnetic fields. Besides of depending on the size of the field, the bound also takes into account the size of the field gradient. We then apply the inequality to prove stability of non-relativistic quantum mechanical matter coupled to the quantized ultraviolet-cutoff electromagnetic field for arbitrary values of the fine structure constant.

An analysis of the effect of ghost force oscillation on quasicontinuum error

Matthew Dobson, Mitchell Luskin (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The atomistic to continuum interface for quasicontinuum energies exhibits nonzero forces under uniform strain that have been called ghost forces. In this paper, we prove for a linearization of a one-dimensional quasicontinuum energy around a uniform strain that the effect of the ghost forces on the displacement nearly cancels and has a small effect on the error away from the interface. We give optimal order error estimates that show that the quasicontinuum displacement converges to the atomistic...

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...
