Exceptional points in dissipatively coupled spin dynamics
We theoretically investigate dynamics of classical spins exchange-coupled through an isotropic medium. The coupling is treated at the adiabatic level of the medium's response, which mediates a first-order in frequency dissipative interaction along with an instantaneous Heisenberg exchange. The resultant damped spin precession yields exceptional points (EPs) in the coupled spin dynamics, which should be experimentally accessible with the existing magnetic heterostructures. In particular, we show that an EP is naturally approached in an antiferromagnetic dimer by controlling local damping, while the same is achieved by tuning the dissipative coupling between spins in the ferromagnetic case. Extending our treatment to one-dimensional spin chains, we show how EPs can emerge within the magnonic Brillouin zone by tuning the dissipative properties. The critical point, at which an EP pair emerges out of the Brillouin zone center, realizes a gapless Weyl point in the magnon spectrum. Tuning damping beyond this critical point produces synchronization (level attraction) of magnon modes over a finite range of momenta, both in ferro- and antiferromagnetic cases. We thus establish that damped magnons can generically yield singular points in their band structure, close to which their kinematic properties, such as group velocity, become extremely sensitive to the control parameters.

Influence of Sensor Feedback Limitations on Power Oscillation Damping and Transient Stability
Fundamental sensor feedback limitations for improving rotor angle stability using local frequency or phase angle measurement are derived. Using a two-machine power system model, it is shown that improved damping of inter-area oscillations must come at the cost of reduced transient stability margins, regardless of the control design method. The control limitations stem from that the excitation of an inter-area mode by external disturbances cannot be estimated with certainty using local frequency information. The results are validated on a modified Kundur four-machine two-area test system where the active power is modulated on an embedded high-voltage dc link. Damping control using local phase angle measurements, unavoidably leads to an increased rotor angle deviation following certain load disturbances. For a highly stressed system, it is shown that this may lead to transient instability. The limitations derived in the paper may motivate the need for wide-area measurements in power oscillation damping control.

Non-uniform Stability of Damped Contraction Semigroups
We investigate the stability properties of strongly continuous semigroups generated by operators of the form $A-BB^\ast$, where $A$ is a generator of a contraction semigroup and $B$ is a possibly unbounded operator. Such systems arise naturally in the study of hyperbolic partial differential equations with damping on the boundary or inside the spatial domain. As our main results we present general sufficient conditions for non-uniform stability of the semigroup generated by $A-BB^\ast$ in terms of selected observability-type conditions of the pair $(B^\ast,A)$. We apply the abstract results to obtain rates of energy decay in one-dimensional and two-dimensional wave equations, a damped fractional Klein--Gordon equation and a weakly damped beam equation.

Dynamo in weakly collisional nonmagnetized plasmas impeded by Landau damping of magnetic fields
We perform fully kinetic simulations of flows known to produce dynamo in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), considering scenarios with low Reynolds number and high magnetic Prandtl number, relevant for galaxy cluster scale fluctuation dynamos. We find that Landau damping on the electrons leads to a rapid decay of magnetic perturbations, impeding the dynamo. This collisionless damping process operates on spatial scales where electrons are nonmagnetized, reducing the range of scales where the magnetic field grows in high magnetic Prandtl number fluctuation dynamos. When electrons are not magnetized down to the resistive scale, the magnetic energy spectrum is expected to be limited by the scale corresponding to magnetic Landau damping or, if smaller, the electron gyroradius scale, instead of the resistive scale. In simulations we thus observe decaying magnetic fields where resistive MHD would predict a dynamo.

Sound propagation and quantum limited damping in a two-dimensional Fermi gas
Strongly interacting two-dimensional Fermi systems are one of the great remaining challenges in many-body physics due to the interplay of strong local correlations and enhanced long-range fluctuations. Here, we probe the thermodynamic and transport properties of a 2D Fermi gas across the BEC-BCS crossover by studying the propagation and damping of sound modes. We excite particle currents by imprinting a phase step onto homogeneous Fermi gases trapped in a box potential and extract the speed of sound from the frequency of the resulting density oscillations. We measure the speed of sound across the BEC-BCS crossover and compare the resulting dynamic measurement of the equation of state both to a static measurement based on recording density profiles and to Quantum Monte Carlo calculations and find reasonable agreement between all three. We also measure the damping of the sound mode, which is determined by the shear and bulk viscosities as well as the thermal conductivity of the gas. We find that the damping is minimal in the strongly interacting regime and the diffusivity approaches the universal quantum bound $\hbar/m$ of a perfect fluid.

Proof-of-principle direct measurement of Landau damping strength at the Large Hadron Collider with an anti-damper
Landau damping is an essential mechanism for ensuring collective beam stability in particle accelerators. Precise knowledge of how strong Landau damping is, is key to making accurate predictions on beam stability for state-of-the-art high energy colliders. In this paper we demonstrate an experimental procedure that would allow quantifying the strength of Landau damping and the limits of beam stability using an active transverse feedback as a controllable source of beam coupling impedance. In a proof-of-principle test performed at the Large Hadron Collider stability diagrams for a range of Landau Octupole strengths have been measured. In the future, the procedure could become an accurate way of measuring stability diagrams throughout the machine cycle.

An inverse-system method for identification of damping rate functions in non-Markovian quantum systems
Identification of complicated quantum environments lies in the core of quantum engineering, which systematically constructs an environment model with the aim of accurate control of quantum systems. In this paper, we present an inverse-system method to identify damping rate functions which describe non-Markovian environments in time-convolution-less master equations. To access information on the environment, we couple a finite-level quantum system to the environment and measure time traces of local observables of the system. By using sufficient measurement results, an algorithm is designed, which can simultaneously estimate multiple damping rate functions for different dissipative channels. Further, we show that identifiability for the damping rate functions corresponds to the invertibility of the system and a necessary condition for identifiability is also given. The effectiveness of our method is shown in examples of an atom and three-spin-chain non-Markovian systems.

Damping of gravitational waves in 2-2-holes
A 2-2-hole is an explicit realization of a horizonless object that can still very closely resemble a BH. An ordinary relativistic gas can serve as the matter source for the 2-2-hole solution of quadratic gravity, and this leads to a calculable area-law entropy. Here we show that it also leads to an estimate of the damping of a gravitational wave as it travels to the center of the 2-2-hole and back out again. We identify two frequency dependent effects that greatly diminish the damping. Spinning 2-2-hole solutions are not known, but we are still able to consider some spin dependent effects. The frequency and spin dependence of the damping helps to determine the possible echo resonance signal from the rotating remnants of merger events. It also controls the fate of the ergoregion instability.

Plasmon damping in electronically open systems
Rapid progress in electrically-controlled plasmonics in solids poses a question about effects of electronic reservoirs on the properties of plasmons. We find that plasmons in electronically open systems [i.e. in (semi)conductors connected to leads] are prone to an additional damping due to charge carrier penetration into contacts and subsequent thermalization. We develop a theory of such lead-induced damping based on kinetic equation with self-consistent electric field, supplemented by microscopic carrier transport at the interfaces. The lifetime of plasmon in electronically open ballistic system appears to be finite, order of conductor length divided by carrier Fermi (thermal) velocity. The reflection loss of plasmon incident on the contact of semi-conductor and perfectly conducting metal also appears to be finite, order of Fermi velocity divided by wave phase velocity. Recent experiments on plasmon-assisted photodetection are discussed in light of the proposed lead-induced damping phenomenon.

Helical damping and anomalous critical non-Hermitian skin effect
Non-Hermitian skin effect and critical skin effect are unique features of non-Hermitian systems. In this Letter, we study an open system with its dynamics of single-particle correlation function effectively dominated by a non-Hermitian damping matrix, which exhibits $\mathbb{Z}_2$ skin effect, and uncover the existence of a novel phenomenon of helical damping. When adding perturbations that break anomalous time reversal symmetry to the system, the critical skin effect occurs, which causes the disappearance of the helical damping in the thermodynamic limit although it can exist in small size systems. We also demonstrate the existence of anomalous critical skin effect when we couple two identical systems with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ skin effect. With the help of non-Bloch band theory, we unveil that the change of generalized Brillouin zone equation is the necessary condition of critical skin effect.

Gravitational Landau Damping for massive scalar modes
We establish the possibility of Landau damping for gravitational scalar waves which propagate in a non-collisional gas of particles. In particular, under the hypothesis of homogeneity and isotropy, we describe the medium at the equilibrium with a J\"uttner-Maxwell distribution, and we analytically determine the damping rate from the Vlasov equation. We find that damping occurs only if the phase velocity of the wave is subluminal throughout the propagation within the medium. Finally, we investigate relativistic media in cosmological settings by adopting numerical techniques.

On Strong Feller Property, Exponential Ergodicity and Large Deviations Principle for Stochastic Damping Hamiltonian Systems with State-Dependent Switching
This work focuses on a class of stochastic damping Hamiltonian systems with state-dependent switching, where the switching process has a countably infinite state space. After establishing the existence and uniqueness of a global weak solution via the martingale approach under very mild conditions, the paper next proves the strong Feller property for regime-switching stochastic damping Hamiltonian systems by the killing technique together with some resolvent and transition probability identities. The commonly used continuity assumption for the switching rates $q_{kl}(\cdot)$ in the literature is relaxed to measurability in this paper. Finally the paper provides sufficient conditions for exponential ergodicity and large deviations principle for regime-switching stochastic damping Hamiltonian systems. Several examples on regime-switching van der Pol and (overdamped) Langevin systems are studied in detail for illustration.

Logarithmic decay for damped hypoelliptic wave and Schr{ö}dinger equations
We consider damped wave (resp. Schr{\"o}dinger and plate) equations driven by a hypoelliptic "sum of squares" operator L on a compact manifold and a damping function b(x). We assume the Chow-Rashevski-H{\"o}rmander condition at rank k (at most k Lie brackets needed to span the tangent space) together with analyticity of M and the coefficients of L. We prove decay of the energy at rate $log(t)^{-1/k}$ (resp. $log(t)^{-2/k}$ ) for data in the domain of the generator of the associated group. We show that this decay is optimal on a family of Grushin-type operators. This result follows from a perturbative argument (of independent interest) showing, in a general abstract setting, that quantitative approximate observability/controllability results for wave-type equations imply a priori decay rates for associated damped wave, Schr{\"o}dinger and plate equations. The adapted quantitative approximate observability/controllability theorem for hypoelliptic waves is obtained by the authors in [LL19, LL17].

Bulk Viscous Damping of Density Oscillations in Neutron Star Mergers
In this paper, we discuss the damping of density oscillations in dense nuclear matter in the temperature range relevant to neutron star mergers. This damping is due to bulk viscosity arising from the weak interaction ``Urca'' processes of neutron decay and electron capture. The nuclear matter is modelled in the relativistic density functional approach. The bulk viscosity reaches a resonant maximum close to the neutrino trapping temperature, then drops rapidly as temperature rises into the range where neutrinos are trapped in neutron stars. We investigate the bulk viscous dissipation timescales in a post-merger object and identify regimes where these timescales are as short as the characteristic timescale $\sim$10 ms, and, therefore, might affect the evolution of the post-merger object. Our analysis indicates that bulk viscous damping would be important at not too high temperatures of the order of a few MeV and densities up to a few times saturation density.

Exact solutions of a damped harmonic oscillator in a time dependent noncommutative space
In this paper we have obtained the exact eigenstates of a two dimensional damped harmonic oscillator in time dependent noncommutative space. It has been observed that for some specific choices of the damping factor and the time dependent frequency of the oscillator, there exists interesting solutions of the time dependent noncommutative parameters following from the solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation. Further, these solutions enable us to get exact analytic forms for the phase which relates the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with the eigenstates of the Lewis invariant. We then obtain expressions for the matrix elements of the coordinate operators raised to a finite arbitrary power. From these general results we then compute the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The expectation values of the energy are found to vary with time for different solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation corresponding to different choices of the damping factor and the time dependent frequency of the oscillator.

Enhancing nonlinear damping by parametric-direct internal resonance
Mechanical sources of nonlinear damping play a central role in modern physics, from solid-state physics to thermodynamics. The microscopic theory of mechanical dissipation [M. I . Dykman, M. A. Krivoglaz, Physica Status Solidi (b) 68, 111 (1975)] suggests that nonlinear damping of a resonant mode can be strongly enhanced when it is coupled to a vibration mode that is close to twice its resonance frequency. To date, no experimental evidence of this enhancement has been realized. In this letter, we experimentally show that nanoresonators driven into parametric-direct internal resonance provide supporting evidence for the microscopic theory of nonlinear dissipation. By regulating the drive level, we tune the parametric resonance of a graphene nanodrum over a range of 40-70 MHz to reach successive two-to-one internal resonances, leading to a nearly two-fold increase of the nonlinear damping. Our study opens up an exciting route towards utilizing modal interactions and parametric resonance to realize resonators with engineered nonlinear dissipation over wide frequency range.

Blow-up for wave equation with the scale-invariant damping and combined nonlinearities
In this article, we study the blow-up of the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: $$u_{tt}-\Delta u+\frac{\mu}{1+t}u_t=|u_t|^p+|u|^q, \quad \mbox{in}\ \R^N\times[0,\infty), $$ with small initial data.\\ For $\mu < \frac{N(q-1)}{2}$ and $\mu \in (0, \mu_*)$, where $\mu_*>0$ is depending on the nonlinearties' powers and the space dimension ($\mu_*$ satisfies $(q-1)\left((N+2\mu_*-1)p-2\right) = 4$), we prove that the wave equation, in this case, behaves like the one without dissipation ($\mu =0$). Our result completes the previous studies in the case where the dissipation is given by $\frac{\mu}{(1+t)^\beta}u_t; \ \beta >1$ (\cite{LT3}), where, contrary to what we obtain in the present work, the effect of the damping is not significant in the dynamics. Interestingly, in our case, the influence of the damping term $\frac{\mu}{1+t}u_t$ is important.

Decentralized Frequency Control using Packet-based Energy Coordination
This paper presents a novel frequency-responsive control scheme for demand-side resources, such as electric water heaters. A frequency-dependent control law is designed to provide damping from distributed energy resources (DERs) in a fully decentralized fashion. This local control policy represents a frequency-dependent threshold for each DER that ensures that the aggregate response provides damping during frequency deviations. The proposed decentralized policy is based on an adaptation of a packet-based DER coordination scheme where each device send requests for energy access (also called an "energy packet") to an aggregator. The number of previously accepted active packets can then be used a-priori to form an online estimate of the aggregate damping capability of the DER fleet in a dynamic power system. A simple two-area power system is used to illustrate and validate performance of the decentralized control policy and the accuracy of the online damping estimating for a fleet of 400,000 DERs.

Origin of micron-scale propagation lengths of heat-carrying acoustic excitations in amorphous silicon
The heat-carrying acoustic excitations of amorphous silicon are of interest because their mean free paths may approach micron scales at room temperature. Despite extensive investigation, the origin of the weak acoustic damping in the heat-carrying frequencies remains a topic of debate. Here, we report measurements of the thermal conductivity mean free path accumulation function in amorphous silicon thin films from 60 - 315 K using transient grating spectroscopy. With additional picosecond acoustics measurements and considering the known frequency-dependencies of damping mechanisms in glasses, we reconstruct the mean free paths from $\sim 0.1-3$ THz. The mean free paths are independent of temperature and exhibit a Rayleigh scattering trend over most of this frequency range. The observed trend is inconsistent with the predictions of numerical studies based on normal mode analysis but agrees with diverse measurements on other glasses. The micron-scale MFPs in amorphous Si arise from the absence of anharmonic or two-level system damping in the sub-THz frequencies, leading to heat-carrying acoustic excitations with room-temperature damping comparable to that of other glasses at cryogenic temperatures.

Quantum sensing of open systems: Estimation of damping constants and temperature
We determine quantum precision limits for estimation of damping constants and temperature of lossy bosonic channels. A direct application would be the use of light for estimation of the absorption and the temperature of a transparent slab. Analytic lower bounds are obtained for the uncertainty in the estimation, through a purification procedure that replaces the master equation description by a unitary evolution involving the system and ad hoc environments. For zero temperature, Fock states are shown to lead to the minimal uncertainty in the estimation of damping, with boson-counting being the best measurement procedure. In both damping and temperature estimates, sequential pre-thermalization measurements, through a stream of single bosons, may lead to huge gain in precision.

Quantifying the evidence for resonant damping of coronal waves with foot-point wave power asymmetry
We use Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP) observations of propagating waves in the solar corona and Bayesian analysis to assess the evidence of models with resonant damping and foot-point wave power asymmetries. Two nested models are considered. The reduced model considers resonant damping as the sole cause of the measured discrepancy between outward and inward wave power. The larger model contemplates an extra source of asymmetry with origin at the foot-points. We first compute probability distributions of parameters conditional on the models and the observed data. The obtained constraints are then used to calculate the evidence for each model in view of data. We find that we need to consider the larger model to explain CoMP data and to accurately infer the damping ratio, hence, to better assess the possible contribution of the waves to coronal heating.

Sound damping in frictionless granular materials: The interplay between configurational disorder and inelasticity
We numerically investigate sound damping in a model of granular materials in two dimensions. We simulate evolution of standing waves in disordered frictionless disks and analyze their damped oscillations by velocity autocorrelation functions and power spectra. We control the strength of inelastic interactions between the disks in contact to examine the effect of energy dissipation on sound characteristics of disordered systems. Increasing the strength of inelastic interactions, we find that (i) sound softening vanishes and (ii) sound attenuation due to configurational disorder, i.e. the Rayleigh scattering at low frequencies and disorder-induced broadening at high frequencies, is completely dominated by the energy dissipation. Our findings suggest that sound damping in granular media is determined by the interplay between elastic heterogeneities and inelastic interactions.

Squeezed comb states
Continuous-variable codes are an expedient solution for quantum information processing and quantum communication involving optical networks. Here we characterize the squeezed comb, a finite superposition of equidistant squeezed coherent states on a line, and its properties as a continuous-variable encoding choice for a logical qubit. The squeezed comb is a realistic approximation to the ideal code proposed by Gottesman, Kitaev, and Preskill [Phys. Rev. A 64, 012310 (2001)], which is fully protected against errors caused by the paradigmatic types of quantum noise in continuous-variable systems: damping and diffusion. This is no longer the case for the code space of finite squeezed combs, and noise robustness depends crucially on the encoding parameters. We analyze finite squeezed comb states in phase space, highlighting their complicated interference features and characterizing their dynamics when exposed to amplitude damping and Gaussian diffusion noise processes. We find that squeezed comb state are more suitable and less error-prone when exposed to damping, which speaks against standard error correction strategies that employ linear amplification to convert damping into easier-to-describe isotropic diffusion noise.

Switchable Damping for a One-Particle Oscillator
The possibility to switch the damping rate for a one-electron oscillator is demonstrated, for an electron that oscillates along the magnetic field axis in a Penning trap. Strong axial damping can be switched on to allow this oscillation to be used for quantum nondemolition detection of the cyclotron and spin quantum state of the electron. Weak axial damping can be switched on to circumvent the backaction of the detection motion that has limited past measurements. The newly developed switch will reduce the linewidth of the cyclotron transition of one-electron by two orders of magnitude.

A Random Matrix Theory Approach to Damping in Deep Learning
We conjecture that the inherent difference in generalisation between adaptive and non-adaptive gradient methods in deep learning stems from the increased estimation noise in the flattest directions of the true loss surface. We demonstrate that typical schedules used for adaptive methods (with low numerical stability or damping constants) serve to bias relative movement towards flat directions relative to sharp directions, effectively amplifying the noise-to-signal ratio and harming generalisation. We further demonstrate that the numerical damping constant used in these methods can be decomposed into a learning rate reduction and linear shrinkage of the estimated curvature matrix. We then demonstrate significant generalisation improvements by increasing the shrinkage coefficient, closing the generalisation gap entirely in both logistic regression and several deep neural network experiments. Extending this line further, we develop a novel random matrix theory based damping learner for second order optimiser inspired by linear shrinkage estimation. We experimentally demonstrate our learner to be very insensitive to the initialised value and to allow for extremely fast convergence in conjunction with continued stable training and competitive generalisation.

Challenging an experimental nonlinear modal analysis method with a new strongly friction-damped structure
In this work, we show that a recently proposed method for experimental nonlinear modal analysis based on the extended periodic motion concept is well suited to extract modal properties for strongly nonlinear systems (i.e. in the presence of large frequency shifts, high and nonlinear damping, changes of the mode shape, and higher harmonics). To this end, we design a new test rig that exhibits a large extent of friction-induced damping (modal damping ratio up to 15 %) and frequency shift by 36 %. The specimen, called RubBeR, is a cantilevered beam under the influence of dry friction, ranging from full stick to mainly sliding. With the specimen's design, the measurements are well repeatable for a system subjected to dry frictional force. Then, we apply the method to the specimen and show that single-point excitation is sufficient to track the modal properties even though the deflection shape changes with amplitude. Computed frequency responses using a single nonlinear-modal oscillator with the identified modal properties agree well with measured reference curves of different excitation levels, indicating the modal properties' significance and accuracy.

Thermal damping of Weak Magnetosonic Turbulence in the Interstellar Medium
We present a generic mechanism for the thermal damping of compressive waves in the interstellar medium (ISM), occurring due to radiative cooling. We solve for the dispersion relation of magnetosonic waves in a two-fluid (ion-neutral) system in which density- and temperature-dependent heating and cooling mechanisms are present. We use this dispersion relation, in addition to an analytic approximation for the nonlinear turbulent cascade, to model dissipation of weak magnetosonic turbulence. We show that in some ISM conditions, the cutoff wavelength for magnetosonic turbulence becomes tens to hundreds of times larger when the thermal damping is added to the regular ion-neutral damping. We also run numerical simulations which confirm that this effect has a dramatic impact on cascade of compressive wave modes.

WAMS-Based Model-Free Wide-Area Damping Control by Voltage Source Converters
In this paper, a novel model-free wide-area damping control (WADC) method is proposed, which can achieve full decoupling of modes and damp multiple critical inter-area oscillations simultaneously using grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs). The proposed method is purely measurement based and requires no knowledge of the network topology and the dynamic model parameters. Hence, the designed controller using VSCs can update the control signals online as the system operating condition varies. Numerical studies in the modified IEEE 68-bus system with grid-connected VSCs show that the proposed method can estimate the system dynamic model accurately and can damp inter-area oscillations effectively under different working conditions and network topologies.

Fast optimization of viscosities for frequency-weighted damping of second-order systems
We consider frequency-weighted damping optimization for vibrating systems described by a second-order differential equation. The goal is to determine viscosity values such that eigenvalues are kept away from certain undesirable areas on the imaginary axis. To this end, we present two complementary techniques. First, we propose new frameworks using nonsmooth constrained optimization problems, whose solutions both damp undesirable frequency bands and maintain stability of the system. These frameworks also allow us to weight which frequency bands are the most important to damp. Second, we also propose a fast new eigensolver for the structured quadratic eigenvalue problems that appear in such vibrating systems. In order to be efficient, our new eigensolver exploits special properties of diagonal-plus-rank-one complex symmetric matrices, which we leverage by showing how each quadratic eigenvalue problem can be transformed into a short sequence of such linear eigenvalue problems. The result is an eigensolver that is substantially faster than standard techniques. By combining this new solver with our new optimization frameworks, we obtain our overall algorithm for fast computation of optimal viscosities. The efficiency and performance of our new methods are verified and illustrated on several numerical examples.

Nonexistence result for the generalized Tricomi equation with the scale-invariant damping, mass term and time derivative nonlinearity
In this article, we consider the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} with time-dependent speed of propagation, mass term and time derivative nonlinearity. More precisely, we study the blow-up of the solutions to the following equation: $$ (E) \quad u_{tt}-t^{2m}\Delta u+\frac{\mu}{t}u_t+\frac{\nu^2}{t^2}u=|u_t|^p, \quad \mbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N\times[1,\infty), $$ that we associate with small initial data. Assuming some assumptions on the mass and damping coefficients, $\nu$ and $\mu>0$, respectively, that the blow-up region and the lifespan bound of the solution of $(E)$ remain the same as the ones obtained for the case without mass, {\it i.e.} $\nu=0$ in $(E)$. The latter case constitutes, in fact, a shift of the dimension $N$ by $\frac{\mu}{1+m}$ compared to the problem without damping and mass. Finally, we think that the new bound for $p$ is a serious candidate to the critical exponent which characterizes the threshold between the blow-up and the global existence regions.

Slow periodic oscillation without radiation damping: New evolution laws for rate and state friction
The dynamics of sliding friction is mainly governed by the frictional force. Previous studies have shown that the laboratory-scale friction is well described by an empirical law stated in terms of the slip velocity and the state variable. The state variable represents the detailed physicochemical state of the sliding interface. Despite some theoretical attempts to derive this friction law, there has been no unique equation for time evolution of the state variable. Major equations known to date have their own merits and drawbacks. To shed light on this problem from a new aspect, here we investigate the feasibility of periodic motion without the help of radiation damping. Assuming a patch on which the slip velocity is perturbed from the rest of the sliding interface, we prove analytically that three major evolution laws fail to reproduce stable periodic motion without radiation damping. Furthermore, we propose two new evolution equations that can produce stable periodic motion without radiation damping. These two equations are scrutinized from the viewpoint of experimental validity and the relevance to slow earthquakes.

Absence of a boson peak in anharmonic phonon models with Akhiezer-type damping
In a recent article M. Baggioli and A. Zaccone (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 112}, 145501 (2019)) claimed that an anharmonic damping, leading to a sound attenuation proportional to $\omega^2$ (Akhiezer-type damping) would imply a boson peak, i.e.\ a maximum in the vibrational density of states, divided by the frequency squared (reduced density of states). This would apply both to glasses and crystals.Here we show that this is not the case. In a mathematically correct treatment of the model the reduced density of states monotonously decreases, i.e.\ there is no boson peak. We further show that the formula for the would-be boson peak, presented by the authors, corresponds to a very short one-dimensional damped oscillator system. The peaks they show correspond to resonances, which vanish in the thermodynamic limit.

Damping and polarization rates in near equilibrium state
The collision terms in spin transport theory are analyzed in Kadanoff-Baym formalism for systems close to equilibrium. The non-equilibrium fluctuations in spin distribution include both damping and polarization, with the latter arising from the exchange between orbital and spin angular momenta. The damping and polarization rates or the relaxation times are expressed in terms of various Dirac components of the self-energy. Unlike the usually used Anderson-Witting relaxation time approximation assuming a single time scale for different degrees of freedom, the polarization effect is induced by the thermal vorticity and its time scale of thermalization is different from the damping. The numerical calculation in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model shows that, charge is thermalized earlier and spin is thermalized later.

Voltage-control of damping constant in magnetic-insulator/topological-insulator bilayers
The magnetic damping constant is a critical parameter for magnetization dynamics and the efficiency of memory devices and magnon transport. Therefore, its manipulation by electric fields is crucial in spintronics. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the voltage-control of magnetic damping in ferro- and ferrimagnetic-insulator (FI)/topological-insulator (TI) bilayers. Assuming a capacitor-like setup, we formulate an effective dissipation torque induced by spin-charge pumping at the FI/TI interface as a function of an applied voltage. By using realistic material parameters, we find that the effective damping for a FI with 10nm thickness can be tuned by one order of magnitude under the voltage with 0.25V. Also, we provide perspectives on the voltage-induced modulation of the magnon spin transport on proximity-coupled FIs.

Exact solution of damped harmonic oscillator with a magnetic field in a time dependent noncommutative space
In this paper we have obtained the exact eigenstates of a two dimensional damped harmonic oscillator in the presence of an external magnetic field varying with respect to time in time dependent noncommutative space. It has been observed that for some specific choices of the damping factor, the time dependent frequency of the oscillator and the time dependent external magnetic field, there exists interesting solutions of the time dependent noncommutative parameters following from the solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation. Further, these solutions enable us to get exact analytic forms for the phase which relates the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with the eigenstates of the Lewis invariant. Then we compute the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The expectation values of the energy are found to vary with time for different solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation corresponding to different choices of the damping factor, the time dependent frequency of the oscillator and the time dependent applied magnetic field. We also compare our results with those in the absence of the magnetic field obtained earlier.

Self-stabilization of light sails by damped internal degrees of freedom
We consider the motion of a light sail that is accelerated by a powerful laser beam. We derive the equations of motion for two proof-of-concept sail designs with damped internal degrees of freedom. Using linear stability analysis we show that perturbations of the sail movement in all lateral degrees of freedom can be damped passively. This analysis also shows complicated behaviour akin to that associated with exceptional points in PT-symmetric systems in optics and quantum mechanics. The excess heat that is produced by the damping mechanism is likely to be substantially smaller than the expected heating due to the partial absorption of the incident laser beam by the sail.

Determining the source of phase noise: Response of a driven Duffing oscillator to low-frequency damping and resonance frequency fluctuations
We present an analytical calculation of the response of a driven Duffing oscillator to low-frequency fluctuations in the resonance frequency and damping. We find that fluctuations in these parameters manifest themselves distinctively, allowing them to be distinguished. In the strongly nonlinear regime, amplitude and phase noise due to resonance frequency fluctuations and amplitude noise due to damping fluctuations are strongly attenuated, while the transduction of damping fluctuations into phase noise remains of order $1$. We show that this can be seen by comparing the relative strengths of the amplitude fluctuations to the fluctuations in the quadrature components, and suggest that this provides a means to determine the source of low-frequency noise in a driven Duffing oscillator.

Spin transport-induced damping of coherent THz spin dynamics in iron
We study the damping of perpendicular standing spin-waves (PSSWs) in ultrathin Fe films at frequencies up to 2.4 THz. The PSSWs are excited by optically generated ultrashort spin current pulses, and probed optically in the time domain. Analyzing the wavenumber and thickness dependence of the damping, we demonstrate that at sufficiently large wave vectors $k$ the damping is dominated by spin transport effects scaling with k^4 and limiting the frequency range of observable PSSWs. Although this contribution is known to originate in the spin diffusion, we argue that at moderate and large k a more general description is necessary and develop a model where the 'transverse spin mean free path' is the a key parameter, and estimate it to be ~0.5 nm.

A N-dimensional elastic\viscoelastic transmission problem with Kelvin-Voigt damping and non smooth coefficient at the interface
We investigate the stabilization of a multidimensional system of coupled wave equations with only one Kelvin Voigt damping. Using a unique continuation result based on a Carleman estimate and a general criteria of Arendt Batty, we prove the strong stability of the system in the absence of the compactness of the resolvent without any geometric condition. Then, using a spectral analysis, we prove the non uniform stability of the system. Further, using frequency domain approach combined with a multiplier technique, we establish some polynomial stability results by considering different geometric conditions on the coupling and damping domains. In addition, we establish two polynomial energy decay rates of the system on a square domain where the damping and the coupling are localized in a vertical strip.

Stabilization of the damped plate equation under general boundary conditions
We consider a damped plate equation on an open bounded subset of R^d, or a smooth manifold, with boundary, along with general boundary operators fulfilling the Lopatinskii-Sapiro condition. The damping term acts on a region without imposing a geometrical condition. We derive a resolvent estimate for the generator of the damped plate semigroup that yields a logarithmic decay of the energy of the solution to the plate equation. The resolvent estimate is a consequence of a Carleman inequality obtained for the bi-Laplace operator involving a spectral parameter under the considered boundary conditions. The derivation goes first though microlocal estimates, then local estimates, and finally a global estimate.

Fluid energy cascade rate and kinetic damping: new insight from 3D Landau-fluid simulations
Using an exact law for incompressible Hall magnetohydrodynamics (HMHD) turbulence, the energy cascade rate is computed from three-dimensional HMHD-CGL (bi-adiabatic ions and isothermal electrons) and Landau fluid (LF) numerical simulations that feature different intensities of Landau damping over a broad range of wavenumbers, typically $0.05\lesssim k_\perp d_i \lesssim100$. Using three sets of cross-scale simulations where turbulence is initiated at large, medium and small scales, the ability of the fluid energy cascade to "sense" the kinetic Landau damping at different scales is tested. The cascade rate estimated from the exact law and the dissipation calculated directly from the simulation are shown to reflect the role of Landau damping in dissipating energy at all scales, with an emphasis on the kinetic ones. This result provides new prospects on using exact laws for simplified fluid models to analyze dissipation in kinetic simulations and spacecraft observations, and new insights into theoretical description of collisionless magnetized plasmas.

Effect of nonlocal transformations on the linearizability and exact solvability of the nonlinear generalized modified Emden type equations
The nonlinear generalized modified Emden type equations (GMEE) are known to be linearizable into simple harmonic oscillator (HO) or damped harmonic oscillators (DHO) via some nonlocal transformations. Hereby, we show that the structure of the nonlocal transformation and the linearizability into HO or DHO determine the nature/structure of the dynamical forces involved (hence, determine the structure of the dynamical equation). Yet, a reverse engineering strategy is used so that the exact solutions of the emerging GMEE are nonlocally transformed to find the exact solutions of the HO and DHO dynamical equations. Consequently, whilst the exact solution for the HO remains a textbook one, the exact solution for the DHO (never reported elsewhere, to the best of our knowledge) turns out to be manifestly the most explicit and general solution that offers consistency and comprehensive coverage for the associated under-damping, critical-damping, and over-damping cases (i.e., no complex settings for the coordinates and/or the velocities are eminent/feasible). Moreover, for all emerging dynamical system, we report illustrative figures for each solution as well as the corresponding phase-space trajectories as they evolve in time.

Trajectory attractors for 3D damped Euler equations and their approximation
We study the global attractors for the damped 3D Euler--Bardina equations with the regularization parameter $\alpha>0$ and Ekman damping coefficient $\gamma>0$ endowed with periodic boundary conditions as well as their damped Euler limit $\alpha\to0$. We prove that despite the possible non-uniqueness of solutions of the limit Euler system and even the non-existence of such solutions in the distributional sense, the limit dynamics of the corresponding dissipative solutions introduced by P.\,Lions can be described in terms of attractors of the properly constructed trajectory dynamical system. Moreover, the convergence of the attractors $\Cal A(\alpha)$ of the regularized system to the limit trajectory attractor $\Cal A(0)$ as $\alpha\to0$ is also established in terms of the upper semicontinuity in the properly defined functional space.

Implicit Bias of MSE Gradient Optimization in Underparameterized Neural Networks
We study the dynamics of a neural network in function space when optimizing the mean squared error via gradient flow. We show that in the underparameterized regime the network learns eigenfunctions of an integral operator $T_{K^\infty}$ determined by the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) at rates corresponding to their eigenvalues. For example, for uniformly distributed data on the sphere $S^{d - 1}$ and rotation invariant weight distributions, the eigenfunctions of $T_{K^\infty}$ are the spherical harmonics. Our results can be understood as describing a spectral bias in the underparameterized regime. The proofs use the concept of "Damped Deviations", where deviations of the NTK matter less for eigendirections with large eigenvalues due to the occurence of a damping factor. Aside from the underparameterized regime, the damped deviations point-of-view can be used to track the dynamics of the empirical risk in the overparameterized setting, allowing us to extend certain results in the literature. We conclude that damped deviations offers a simple and unifying perspective of the dynamics when optimizing the squared error.

Variance-Reduced Stochastic Quasi-Newton Methods for Decentralized Learning: Part II
In Part I of this work, we have proposed a general framework of decentralized stochastic quasi-Newton methods, which converge linearly to the optimal solution under the assumption that the local Hessian inverse approximations have bounded positive eigenvalues. In Part II, we specify two fully decentralized stochastic quasi-Newton methods, damped regularized limited-memory DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) and damped limited-memory BFGS (Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno), to locally construct such Hessian inverse approximations without extra sampling or communication. Both of the methods use a fixed moving window of $M$ past local gradient approximations and local decision variables to adaptively construct positive definite Hessian inverse approximations with bounded eigenvalues, satisfying the assumption in Part I for the linear convergence. For the proposed damped regularized limited-memory DFP, a regularization term is added to improve the performance. For the proposed damped limited-memory BFGS, a two-loop recursion is applied, leading to low storage and computation complexity. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed quasi-Newton methods are much faster than the existing decentralized stochastic first-order algorithms.

Active tuning of plasmon damping via light induced magnetism
Circularly polarized optical excitation of plasmonic nanostructures causes coherent circulating motion of their electrons, which in turn, gives rise to strong optically induced magnetization - a phenomenon known as the inverse Faraday effect (IFE). In this study we report how the IFE also significantly decreases plasmon damping. By modulating the optical polarization state incident on achiral plasmonic nanostructures from linear to circular, we observe reversible increases of reflectance by 78% as well as simultaneous increases of optical field concentration by 35.7% under 10^9 W/m^2 continuous wave (CW) optical excitation. These signatures of decreased plasmon damping were also monitored in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field (0.2 T). The combined interactions allow an estimate of the light-induced magnetization, which corresponds to an effective magnetic field of ~1.3 T during circularly polarized CW excitation (10^9 W/m^2). We rationalize the observed decreases in plasmon damping in terms of the Lorentz forces acting on the circulating electron trajectories. Our results outline strategies for actively modulating intrinsic losses in the metal, and thereby, the optical mode quality and field concentration via opto-magnetic effects encoded in the polarization state of incident light.

Simplified Stability Assessment of Power Systems with Variable-Delay Wide-Area Damping Control
Power electronic devices such as HVDC and FACTS can be used to improve the damping of poorly damped inter-area modes in large power systems. This involves the use of wide-area feedback signals, which are transmitted via communication networks. The performance of the closed-loop system is strongly influenced by the delay associated with wide-area signals. The random nature of this delay introduces a switched linear system model. The stability assessment of such a system requires linear matrix inequality based approaches. This makes the stability analysis more complicated as the system size increases. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a delay-processing strategy that simplifies the modelling and analysis in discrete-domain. In contrast to the existing stability assessment techniques, the proposed approach is advantageous because the stability, as well as damping performance, can be accurately predicted by a simplified analysis. The proposed methodology is verified with a case study on the 2-area 4-machine power system with a series compensated tie-line. The results are found to be in accordance with the predictions of the proposed simplified analysis.

Forward-modulated damping estimates and nonlocalized stability of periodic Lugiato-Lefever wave
In an interesting recent analysis, Haragus-Johnson-Perkins-de Rijk have shown modulational stability under localized perturbations of steady periodic solutions of the Lugiato-Lefever equation (LLE), in the process pointing out a difficulty in obtaining standard "nonlinear damping estimates" on modulated perturbation variables to control regularity of solutions. Here, we point out that in place of standard "inverse-modulated" damping estimates, one can alternatively carry out a damping estimate on the "forward-modulated" perturbation, noting that norms of forward- and inverse-modulated variables are equivalent modulo absorbable errors, thus recovering the classical argument structure of Johnson-Noble-Rodrigues-Zumbrun for parabolic systems. This observation seems of general use in situations of delicate regularity. Applied in the context of (LLE) it gives the stronger result of stability and asymptotic behavior with respect to nonlocalized perturbations.

Observing Particle Energization above the Nyquist Frequency: An Application of the Field-Particle Correlation Technique
The field-particle correlation technique utilizes single-point measurements to uncover signatures of various particle energization mechanisms in turbulent space plasmas. The signature of Landau damping by electrons has been found in both simulations and observations from Earth's magnetosheath using this technique, but instrumental limitations of spacecraft sampling rates present a challenge to discovering the full extent of the presence of Landau damping in the solar wind. Theory predicts that field-particle correlations can recover velocity-space energization signatures even from data that is undersampled with respect to the characteristic frequencies at which the wave damping occurs. To test this hypothesis, we perform a high-resoluation gyrokinetic simulation of space plasma turbulence, confirm that it contains signatures of electron Landau damping, and then systematically reduce the time resolution of the data to identify the point at which the signatures become impossible to recover. We find results in support of our theoretical prediction and look for a rule of thumb that can be compared with the measurement capabilities of spacecraft missions to inform the process of applying field-particle correlations to low time resolution data.

A Potential Based Quantization Procedure of the Damped Oscillator
Nowadays, two of the most prospering fields of physics are quantum computing and spintronics. In both, the loss of information and dissipation plays a crucial role. In the present work we formulate the quantization of the dissipative oscillator, which aids understanding of the above mentioned, and creates a theoretical frame to overcome these issues in the future. Based on the Lagrangian framework of the damped spring system, the canonically conjugated pairs and the Hamiltonian of the system are obtained, by which the quantization procedure can be started and consistently applied. As a result, the damping quantum wave equation of the dissipative oscillator is deduced, by which an exact damping wave solution of this equation is obtained. Consequently, we arrive at such an irreversible quantum theory by which the quantum losses can be described.

Role of shape anisotropy on thermal gradient-driven domain wall dynamics in magnetic nanowires
We investigate the magnetic domain wall (DW) dynamics in uniaxial/biaxial nanowires under a thermal gradient (TG). The findings reveal that the DW propagates toward the hotter region in both nanowires. The main physics of such observations is the magnonic angular momentum transfer to the DW. The hard (shape) anisotropy exists in biaxial nanowire, which contributes an additional torque, hence DW speed is larger than that in uniaxial nanowire. With lower damping, the DW velocity is smaller and DW velocity increases with damping which is opposite to usual expectation. To explain this, it is predicted that there is a probability to form the standing spin-waves (which do not carry net energy/momentum) together with travelling spin-waves if the propagation length of thermally-generated spin-waves is larger than the nanowire length. For larger-damping, DW decreases with damping since the magnon propagation length decreases. Therefore, the above findings might be useful in realizing the spintronic (racetrack memory) devices.

Energy decay estimates for the wave equation with supercritical nonlinear damping
We consider a damped wave equation in a bounded domain. The damping is nonlinear and is homogeneous with degree p -- 1 with p > 2. First, we show that the energy of the strong solution in the supercritical case decays as a negative power of t; the rate of decay is the same as in the subcritical or critical cases, provided that the space dimension does not exceed ten. Next, relying on a new differential inequality, we show that if the initial displacement is further required to lie in L p , then the energy of the corresponding weak solution decays logarithmically in the supercritical case. Those new results complement those in the literature and open an important breach in the unknown land of super-critical damping mechanisms.

Proposal for a Damping-Ring-Free Electron Injector for Future Linear Colliders
The current designs of future electron-positron linear colliders incorporate large and complex damping rings to produce asymmetric beams for beamstrahlung suppression. Here we present the design of an electron injector capable of delivering flat electron beams with phase-space partition comparable to the electron-beam parameters produced downstream of the damping ring in the proposed international linear collider (ILC) design. Our design does not employ a damping ring but is instead based on cross-plane phase-space-manipulation techniques. The performance of the proposed configuration, its sensitivity to jitter along with its impact on spin-polarization is investigated. The proposed paradigm could be adapted to other linear collider concepts under consideration and offers a path toward significant cost and complexity reduction.

Optimal Control of the 3D Damped Navier-Stokes-Voigt Equations with Control Constraints
In this paper, we consider the 3D Navier-Stokes-Voigt (NSV) equations with nonlinear damping $|u|^{r-1}u, r\in[1,\infty)$ in bounded and space-periodic domains. We formulate an optimal control problem of minimizing the curl of the velocity field in the energy norm subject to the flow velocity satisfying the damped NSV equation with a distributed control force. The control also needs to obey box-type constraints. For any $r\geq 1,$ the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution is discussed when the domain $\Omega$ is periodic/bounded in $\mathbb R^3$ while a unique strong solution is obtained in the case of space-periodic boundary conditions. We prove the existence of an optimal pair for the control problem. Using the classical adjoint problem approach, we show that the optimal control satisfies a first-order necessary optimality condition given by a variational inequality. Since the optimal control problem is non-convex, we obtain a second-order sufficient optimality condition showing that an admissible control is locally optimal. Further, we derive optimality conditions in terms of adjoint state defined with respect to the growth of the damping term for a global optimal control.

Stationary measures for stochastic differential equations with degenerate damping
A variety of physical phenomena involve the nonlinear transfer of energy from weakly damped modes subjected to external forcing to other modes which are more heavily damped. In this work we explore this in (finite-dimensional) stochastic differential equations in $\mathbb R^n$ with a quadratic, conservative nonlinearity $B(x,x)$ and a linear damping term $-Ax$ which is degenerate in the sense that $\mathrm{ker} A \neq \emptyset$. We investigate sufficient conditions to deduce the existence of a stationary measure for the associated Markov semigroups. Existence of such measures is straightforward if $A$ is full rank, but otherwise, energy could potentially accumulate in $\mathrm{ker} A$ and lead to almost-surely unbounded trajectories, making the existence of stationary measures impossible. We give a relatively simple and general sufficient condition based on time-averaged coercivity estimates along trajectories in neighborhoods of $\mathrm{ker} A$ and many examples where such estimates can be made.

Resolvent estimates for the one-dimensional damped wave equation with unbounded damping
We study the generator $G$ of the one-dimensional damped wave equation with unbounded damping. We show that the norm of the corresponding resolvent operator, $\| (G - \lambda)^{-1} \|$, is approximately constant as $|\lambda| \to +\infty$ on vertical strips of bounded width contained in the closure of the left-hand side complex semi-plane, $\overline{\mathbb{C}}_{-} := \{\lambda \in \mathbb{C}: \operatorname{Re} \lambda \le 0\}$. Our proof rests on a precise asymptotic analysis of the norm of the inverse of $T(\lambda)$, the quadratic operator associated with $G$.

Energy decay for the time dependent damped wave equation
Energy decay is established for the damped wave equation on compact Riemannian manifolds where the damping coefficient is allowed to depend on time. Using a time dependent observability inequality, it is shown that the energy of solutions decays at an exponential rate if the damping coefficient satisfies a time dependent analogue of the classical geometric control condition. Existing time dependent observability inequalities are improved by removing technical assumptions on the permitted initial data.

Lp-asymptotic stability of 1D damped wave equations with localized and nonlinear damping
In this paper, we study the $L^p$-asymptotic stability with $p\in (1,\infty)$ of the one-dimensional nonlinear damped wave equation with a localized damping and Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain $(0,1)$. We start by addressing the well-posedness problem. We prove the existence and the uniqueness of weak solutions for $p\in [2,\infty)$ and the existence and the uniqueness of strong solutions for all $p\in [1,\infty)$. The proofs rely on the well-posedness already proved in the $L^\infty$ framework by [4] combined with a density argument. Then we prove that the energy of strong solutions decays exponentially to zero. The proof relies on the multiplier method combined with the work that has been done in the linear case in [8].

Damping of neutrino oscillations, decoherence and the lengths of neutrino wave packets
Spatial separation of the wave packets (WPs) of neutrino mass eigenstates leads to decoherence and damping of neutrino oscillations. Damping can also be caused by finite energy resolution of neutrino detectors or, in the case of experiments with radioactive neutrino sources, by finite width of the emitted neutrino line. We study in detail these two types of damping effects using reactor neutrino experiments and experiments with radioactive $^{51}$Cr source as examples. We demonstrate that the effects of decoherence by WP separation can always be incorporated into a modification of the energy resolution function of the detector and so are intimately entangled with it. We estimate for the first time the lengths $\sigma_x$ of WPs of reactor neutrinos and neutrinos from a radioactive $^{51}$Cr source. The obtained values, $\sigma_x = (2\times 10^{-5} - 1.4\times 10^{-4})$ cm, are at least six orders of magnitude larger than the currently available experimental lower bounds. We conclude that effects of decoherence by WP separation cannot be probed in reactor and radioactive source experiments.

Fate of exceptional points in the presence of nonlinearities
The non-Hermitian dynamics of open systems deal with how intricate coherent effects of a closed system intertwine with the impact of coupling to an environment. The system-environment dynamics can then lead to so-called exceptional points, which are the open-system marker of phase transitions, i.e., the closing of spectral gaps in the complex spectrum. Even in the ubiquitous example of the damped harmonic oscillator, the dissipative environment can lead to an exceptional point, separating between under-damped and over-damped dynamics at a point of critical damping. Here, we examine the fate of this exceptional point in the presence of strong correlations, i.e., for a nonlinear oscillator. By employing a functional renormalization group approach, we identify non-perturbative regimes of this model where the nonlinearity makes the system more robust against the influence of dissipation and can remove the exceptional point altogether. The melting of the exceptional point occurs above a critical nonlinearity threshold. Interestingly, the exceptional point melts faster with increasing temperatures, showing a surprising flow to coherent dynamics when coupled to a warm environment.

Data-driven, multi-moment fluid modeling of Landau damping
Deriving governing equations of complex physical systems based on first principles can be quite challenging when there are certain unknown terms and hidden physical mechanisms in the systems. In this work, we apply a deep learning architecture to learn fluid partial differential equations (PDEs) of a plasma system based on the data acquired from a fully kinetic model. The learned multi-moment fluid PDEs are demonstrated to incorporate kinetic effects such as Landau damping. Based on the learned fluid closure, the data-driven, multi-moment fluid modeling can well reproduce all the physical quantities derived from the fully kinetic model. The calculated damping rate of Landau damping is consistent with both the fully kinetic simulation and the linear theory. The data-driven fluid modeling of PDEs for complex physical systems may be applied to improve fluid closure and reduce the computational cost of multi-scale modeling of global systems.

Formation of the cosmic-ray halo: The role of nonlinear Landau damping
We present a nonlinear model of self-consistent Galactic halo, where the processes of cosmic ray (CR) propagation and excitation/damping of MHD waves are included. The MHD-turbulence, which prevents CR escape from the Galaxy, is entirely generated by the resonant streaming instability. The key mechanism controlling the halo size is the nonlinear Landau (NL) damping, which suppresses the amplitude of MHD fluctuations and, thus, makes the halo larger. The equilibrium turbulence spectrum is determined by a balance of CR excitation and NL damping, which sets the regions of diffusive and advective propagation of CRs. The boundary $z_{cr}(E)$ between the two regions is the halo size, which slowly increases with the energy. For the vertical magnetic field of $\sim 1~\mu G$, we estimate $z_{cr} \sim 1$ kpc for GeV protons. The derived proton spectrum is in a good agreement with observational data.

Finite time extinction for a critically damped Schr{ö}dinger equation with a sublinear nonlinearity
This paper completes some previous studies by several authors on the finite time extinction for nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation when the nonlinear damping term corresponds to the limit cases of some ``saturating non-Kerr law'' $F(|u|^2)u=\frac{a}{\varepsilon+(|u|^2)^\alpha}u,$ with $a\in\mathbb{C},$ $\varepsilon\geqslant0,$ $2\alpha=(1-m)$ and $m\in[0,1).$ Here we consider the sublinear case $0<m<1$ with a critical damped coefficient: $a\in\mathbb{C}$ is assumed to be in the set $D(m)=\big\{z\in\mathbb{C}; \; \mathrm{Im}(z)>0 \text{ and } 2\sqrt{m}\mathrm{Im}(z)=(1-m)\mathrm{Re}(z)\big\}.$ Among other things, we know that this damping coefficient is critical, for instance, in order to obtain the monotonicity of the associated operator (see the paper by Liskevich and Perel'muter [16] and the more recent study by Cialdea and Maz'ya [14]). The finite time extinction of solutions is proved by a suitable energy method after obtaining appropiate a priori estimates. Most of the results apply to non-necessarily bounded spatial domains.

Landau damping for gravitational waves in parity-violating theories
We discuss how tensor polarizations of gravitational waves can suffer Landau damping in the presence of velocity birefringence, when parity symmetry is explicitly broken. In particular, we analyze the role of the Nieh-Yan and Chern-Simons terms in modified theories of gravity, showing how the gravitational perturbation in collisionless media can be characterized by a subluminal phase velocity, circumventing the well-known results of General Relativity and allowing for the appearance of the kinematic damping. We investigate in detail the connection between the thermodynamic properties of the medium, such as temperature and mass of the particles interacting with the gravitational wave, and the parameters ruling the parity violating terms of the models. In this respect, we outline how the dispersion relations can give rise in each model to different regions of the wavenumber space, where the phase velocity is subluminal, superluminal or does not exist. Quantitative estimates on the considered models indicate that the phenomenon of Landau damping is not detectable given the sensitivity of present-day instruments.

Formation of shifted shock for the 3D compressible Euler equations with damping
In this paper, we show the shock formation of the solutions to the 3-dimensional (3D) compressible isentropic and irrotational Euler equations with damping for the initial short pulse data which was first introduced by D.Christodoulou\cite{christodoulou2007}. Due to the damping effect, the largeness of the initial data is necessary for the shock formation and we will work on the class of large data (in energy sense). Similar to the undamped case, the formation of shock is characterized by the collapse of the characteristic hypersurfaces and the vanishing of the inverse foliation density function $\mu$, at which the first derivatives of the velocity and the density blow up. However, the damping effect changes the asymptotic behavior of the inverse foliation density function $\mu$ and then shifts the time of shock formation compared with the undamped case. The methods in the paper can also be extended to a class of $3D$ quasilinear wave equations for the short pulse initial data.

Dynamics of a class of extensible beams with degenerate and non-degenerate nonlocal damping
This work is concerned with new results on long-time dynamics of a class of hyperbolic evolution equations related to extensible beams with three distinguished nonlocal nonlinear damping terms. In the first possibly degenerate case, the results feature the existence of a family of compact global attractors and a thickness estimate for their Kolmogorov's $\varepsilon$-entropy. Then, in the non-degenerate context, the structure of the helpful nonlocal damping leads to the existence of finite-dimensional compact global and exponential attractors. Lastly, in a degenerate and critical framework, it is proved the existence of a bounded closed global attractor but not compact. To the proofs, we provide several new technical results by means of refined estimates that open up perspectives for a new branch of nonlinearly damped problems.

Nonlinear fractional damped wave equation on compact Lie groups
In this paper, we deal with the initial value fractional damped wave equation on $G$, a compact Lie group, with power-type nonlinearity. The aim of this manuscript is twofold. First, using the Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups, we prove a local in-time existence result in the energy space for the fractional damped wave equation on $G$. Moreover, a finite time blow-up result is established under certain conditions on the initial data. In the next part of the paper, we consider fractional wave equation with lower order terms, that is, damping and mass with the same power type nonlinearity on compact Lie groups, and prove the global in-time existence of small data solutions in the energy evolution space.

Controlling the motional quality factor of a diamagnetically levitated graphite plate
Researchers seek methods to levitate matter for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from exploring fundamental problems in science, through to developing new sensors and mechanical actuators. Many levitation techniques require active driving and most can only be applied to objects smaller than a few micrometers. Diamagnetic levitation has the strong advantage of being the only form of levitation which is passive, requiring no energy input, while also supporting massive objects. Known diamagnetic materials which are electrical insulators are only weakly diamagnetic, and require large magnetic field gradients to levitate. Strong diamagnetic materials which are electrical conductors, such as graphite, exhibit eddy damping, restricting motional freedom and reducing their potential for sensing applications. In this work we describe a method to engineer the eddy damping while retaining the force characteristics provided by the diamagnetic material. We study, both experimentally and theoretically, the motional damping of a magnetically levitated graphite plate in high vacuum and demonstrate that one can control the eddy damping by patterning the plate with through-slots which interrupt the eddy currents. We find we can control the motional quality factor over a wide range with excellent agreement between the experiment and numerical simulations.

Strong On-Chip Microwave Photon-Magnon Coupling Using Ultra-low Damping Epitaxial Y3Fe5O12 Films at 2 Kelvin
Y3Fe5O12 is arguably the best magnetic material for magnonic quantum information science (QIS) because of its extremely low damping. We report ultralow damping at 2 K in epitaxial Y3Fe5O12 thin films grown on a diamagnetic Y3Sc2Ga3O12 substrate that contains no rare-earth elements. Using these ultralow damping YIG films, we demonstrate for the first time strong coupling between magnons in patterned YIG thin films and microwave photons in a superconducting Nb resonator. This result paves the road towards scalable hybrid quantum systems that integrate superconducting microwave resonators, YIG film magnon conduits, and superconducting qubits into on-chip QIS devices.

Fractional damping effects on the transient dynamics of the Duffing oscillator
We consider the nonlinear Duffing oscillator in presence of fractional damping which is characteristic in different physical situations. The system is studied with a smaller and larger damping parameter value, that we call the underdamped and overdamped regimes. In both we have studied the relation between the fractional parameter, the amplitude of the oscillations and the times to reach the asymptotic behavior, called asymptotic times. In the overdamped regime, the study shows that, also here, there are oscillations for fractional order derivatives and their amplitudes and asymptotic times can suddenly change for small variations of the fractional parameter. In addition, in this latter regime, a resonant-like behavior can take place for suitable values of the parameters of the system. These results are corroborated by calculating the corresponding Q-factor. We expect that these results can be useful for a better understanding of fractional dynamics and its possible applications as in modeling different kind of materials that normally need complicated damping terms.

Fast convex optimization via closed-loop time scaling of gradient dynamics
In a Hilbert setting, for convex differentiable optimization, we develop a general framework for adaptive accelerated gradient methods. They are based on damped inertial dynamics where the coefficients are designed in a closed-loop way. Specifically, the damping is a feedback control of the velocity, or of the gradient of the objective function. For this, we develop a closed-loop version of the time scaling and averaging technique introduced by the authors. We thus obtain autonomous inertial dynamics which involve vanishing viscous damping and implicit Hessian driven damping. By simply using the convergence rates for the continuous steepest descent and Jensen's inequality, without the need for further Lyapunov analysis, we show that the trajectories have several remarkable properties at once: they ensure fast convergence of values, fast convergence of the gradients towards zero, and they converge to optimal solutions. Our approach leads to parallel algorithmic results, that we study in the case of proximal algorithms. These are among the very first general results of this type obtained using autonomous dynamics.

Damped harmonic oscillator revisited: the fastest route to equilibrium
Theoretically, solutions of the damped harmonic oscillator asymptotically approach equilibrium, i.e., the zero energy state, without ever reaching it exactly, and the critically damped solution approaches equilibrium faster than the underdamped or the overdamped solution. Experimentally, the systems described with this model reach equilibrium when the system's energy has dropped below some threshold corresponding to the energy resolution of the measuring apparatus. We show that one can (almost) always find an optimal underdamped solution that will reach this energy threshold sooner than all other underdamped solutions, as well as the critically damped solution, no matter how small this threshold is. We also comment on one exception to this for a particular type of initial conditions, when a specific overdamped solution reaches the equilibrium state sooner than all other solutions. We confirm some of our findings experimentally.

Boundary stabilization of a vibrating string with variable length
We study small vibrations of a string with time-dependent length $\ell(t)$ and boundary damping. The vibrations are described by a 1-d wave equation in an interval with one moving endpoint at a speed $\ell'(t)$ slower than the speed of propagation of the wave c=1. With no damping, the energy of the solution decays if the interval is expanding and increases if the interval is shrinking. The energy decays faster when the interval is expanding and a constant damping is applied at the moving end. However, to ensure the energy decay in a shrinking interval, the damping factor $\eta$ must be close enough to the optimal value $\eta=1$, corresponding to the transparent condition. In all cases, we establish lower and upper estimates for the energy with explicit constants.

Asymptotic behaviour of the semidiscrete FE approximations to weakly damped wave equations with minimal smoothness on initial data
Exponential decay estimates of a general linear weakly damped wave equation are studied with decay rate lying in a range. Based on the $C^0$-conforming finite element method to discretize spatial variables keeping temporal variable continuous, a semidiscrete system is analysed, and uniform decay estimates are derived with precisely the same decay rate as in the continuous case. Optimal error estimates with minimal smoothness assumptions on the initial data are established, which preserve exponential decay rate, and for a 2D problem, the maximum error bound is also proved. The present analysis is then generalized to include the problems with non-homogeneous forcing function, space-dependent damping, and problems with compensator. It is observed that decay rates are improved with large viscous damping and compensator. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to validate the theoretical results established in this paper.

Nonlinear acoustic imaging with damping
In this paper, we consider an inverse problem for a nonlinear wave equation with a damping term and a general nonlinear term. This problem arises in nonlinear acoustic imaging and has applications in medical imaging and other fields. The propagation of ultrasound waves can be modeled by a quasilinear wave equation with a damping term. We show the boundary measurements encoded in the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (DN map) determine the damping term and the nonlinearity at the same time. In a more general setting, we consider a quasilinear wave equation with a one-form (a first-order term) and a general nonlinear term. We prove the one-form and the nonlinearity can be determined from the DN map, up to a gauge transformation, under some assumptions.

Sizable suppression of magnon Hall effect by magnon damping in Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$
Two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg honeycomb ferromagnets are expected to have interesting topological magnon effects as their magnon dispersion can have Dirac points. The Dirac points are gapped with finite second nearest neighbor Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, providing nontrivial Berry curvature with finite magnon Hall effect. Yet, it is unknown how the topological properties are affected by magnon damping. We report the thermal Hall effect in Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$, an insulating 2D honeycomb ferromagnet with a large Dirac magnon gap and significant magnon damping. Interestingly, the thermal Hall conductivity in Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$ shows the coexisting phonon and magnon contributions. Using an empirical two-component model, we successfully estimate the magnon contribution separate from the phonon part, revealing that the magnon Hall conductivity was 20 times smaller than the theoretical calculation. Finally, we suggest that such considerable suppression in the magnon Hall conductivity is due to the magnon damping effect in Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$.

Video analysis of the damped oscillations of Pohl's pendulum
In this paper problems that arose with the introduction of distance learning in physics at the Technical University of Sofia due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the imposition of video recording of laboratory exercises are indicated. It was found that the video for the ''Damped Mechanical Oscillations'' exercise provides enough information for a more detailed and in-depth analysis of the studied phenomenon compared to the standard way of capturing the data. The Video Editor program was used to view the video frame by frame and statistical processing - non-linear regression - was performed with the recorded data. The laboratory results are compared with the theoretical function, the parameters of which are optimized as a result of the specified processing. A theoretical model of the damped oscillation is described and the dependence of the damping coefficient on the current through the electromagnetic brake is theoretically investigated.

Semi-active damping optimization of vibrational systems using the reduced basis method
In this article, we consider vibrational systems with semi-active damping that are described by a second-order model. In order to minimize the influence of external inputs to the system response, we are optimizing some damping values. As minimization criterion, we evaluate the energy response, that is the $\cH_2$-norm of the corresponding transfer function of the system. Computing the energy response includes solving Lyapunov equations for different damping parameters. Hence, the minimization process leads to high computational costs if the system is of large dimension. We present two techniques that reduce the optimization problem by applying the reduced basis method to the corresponding parametric Lyapunov equations. In the first method, we determine a reduced solution space on which the Lyapunov equations and hence the resulting energy response values are computed approximately in a reasonable time. The second method includes the reduced basis method in the minimization process. To evaluate the quality of the approximations, we introduce error estimators that evaluate the error in the controllability Gramians and the energy response. Finally, we illustrate the advantages of our methods by applying them to two different examples.

A combined volume penalization / selective frequency damping approach for immersed boundary methods: application to moving geometries
This work extends, to moving geometries, the immersed boundary method based on volume penalization and selective frequency damping approach [J. Kou, E. Ferrer, A combined volume penalization/selective frequency damping approach for immersed boundary methods applied to high-order schemes, Journal of Computational Physics (2023)]. To do so, the numerical solution inside the solid is decomposed into a predefined movement and an oscillatory part (spurious waves), where the latter is damped by an SFD approach combined with volume penalization. We challenge the method with two cases. First, a new manufactured solution problem is proposed to show that the method can recover high-order accuracy. Second, we validate the methodology by simulating the laminar flow past a moving cylinder, where improved accuracy of the combined method is reported.

Damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Stark effect
We study the $L^2$-critical damped NLS with a Stark potential. We prove that the threshold for global existence and finite time blowup of this equation is given by $\|Q\|_2$, where $Q$ is the unique positive radial solution of $\Delta Q + |Q|^{4/d} Q = Q$ in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Moreover, in any small neighborhood of $Q$, there exists an initial data $u_0$ above the ground state such that the solution flow admits the log-log blowup speed. This verifies the structural stability for the ``$\log$-$\log$ law'' associated to the NLS mechanism under the perturbation by a damping term and a Stark potential. The proof of our main theorem is based on the Avron-Herbst formula and the analogous result for the unperturbed damped NLS.

New Perspectives and Systematic Approaches for Analyzing Negative Damping-Induced Sustained Oscillation
Sustained oscillations (SOs) are commonly observed in systems dominated by converters. Under specific conditions, even though the origin of SOs can be identified through negative damping modes using conventional linear analysis, utilizing the describing function to compute harmonic amplitude and frequency remains incomplete. This is because a) it can not cover the cases where hard limits are not triggered, and b) it can not provide a complete trajectory for authentic linear analysis to confirm the presence of SO. Hence, two analytical methods are proposed by returning to the essential principle of harmonic balance. a) A dedicated approach is proposed to solving steady-state harmonics via Newton-Raphson iteration with carefully chosen initial values. The method encompasses all potential hard limit triggered cases. b) By employing extended multiharmonic linearization theory and considering loop impedance, an authentic linear analysis of SO is conducted. The analysis indicates that the initial negative damping modes transform into multiple positive damping modes as SO develops. Simulation validations are performed on a two-level voltage source converter using both PSCAD and RT-LAB. Additionally, valuable insights into the work are addressed considering the modularity and scalability of the proposed methods.

Numerical approximation of the invariant distribution for a class of stochastic damped wave equations
We study a class of stochastic semilinear damped wave equations driven by additive Wiener noise. Owing to the damping term, under appropriate conditions on the nonlinearity, the solution admits a unique invariant distribution. We apply semi-discrete and fully-discrete methods in order to approximate this invariant distribution, using a spectral Galerkin method and an exponential Euler integrator for spatial and temporal discretization respectively. We prove that the considered numerical schemes also admit unique invariant distributions, and we prove error estimates between the approximate and exact invariant distributions, with identification of the orders of convergence. To the best of our knowledge this is the first result in the literature concerning numerical approximation of invariant distributions for stochastic damped wave equations.

Estimation of Power in the Controlled Quantum Teleportation through the Witness Operator
Controlled quantum teleportation (CQT) can be considered as a variant of quantum teleportation in which three parties are involved where one party acts as the controller. The usability of the CQT scheme depends on two types of fidelities viz. conditioned fidelity and non-conditioned fidelity. The difference between these fidelities may be termed as power of the controller and it plays a vital role in the CQT scheme. Thus, our aim is to estimate the power of the controller in such a way so that its estimated value can be obtained in an experiment. To achieve our goal, we have constructed a witness operator and have shown that its expected value may be used in the estimation of the lower bound of the power of the controller. Furthermore, we have shown that it is possible to make the standard W state useful in the CQT scheme if one of its qubits either passes through the amplitude damping channel or the phase damping channel. We have also shown that the phase damping channel performs better than the amplitude damping channel in the sense of generating more power of the controller in the CQT scheme.

Triple-Spherical Bessel Function Integrals with Exponential and Gaussian Damping: Towards an Analytic N-Point Correlation Function Covariance Model
Spherical Bessel functions appear commonly in many areas of physics wherein there is both translation and rotation invariance, and often integrals over products of several arise. Thus, analytic evaluation of such integrals with different weighting functions (which appear as toy models of a given physical observable, such as the galaxy power spectrum) is useful. Here we present a generalization of a recursion-based method for evaluating such integrals. It gives relatively simple closed-form results in terms of Legendre functions (for the exponentially-damped case) and Gamma, incomplete Gamma functions, and hypergeometric functions (for the Gaussian-damped case). We also present a new, non-recursive method to evaluate integrals of products of spherical Bessel functions with Gaussian damping in terms of incomplete Gamma functions and hypergeometric functions.

Quantized damped transversal single particle mechanical waves
In information transfer, the dissipation of a signal may have crucial importance. The feasibility of reconstructing the distorted signal also depends on this. That is why the study of quantized dissipative transversal single particle mechanical waves may have an important role. It may be true, particularly on the nanoscale in the case of signal distortion, loss, or restoration. Based on the damped oscillator quantum description, we generalize the canonical quantization procedure for the transversal waves. Furthermore, we deduce the related damped wave equation and the state function. We point out the two kinds of solutions of the wave equation. One involves the well-known spreading solution superposed with the oscillation, in which the loss of information is complete. The other is the Airy function solution, which is non-spreading, so there is information loss only due to oscillation damping. However, the structure of the wavefront remains unchanged. Thus, this result allows signal reconstruction, which is important in restoring the lost information.

Integrated Local Energy Decay for Damped Magnetic Wave Equations on Stationary Space-Times
We establish local energy decay for damped magnetic wave equations on stationary, asymptotically flat space-times subject to the geometric control condition. More specifically, we allow for the addition of time-independent magnetic and scalar potentials, which negatively affect energy coercivity and may add in unwieldy spectral effects. By asserting the non-existence of eigenvalues in the lower half-plane and resonances on the real line, we are able to apply spectral theory from the work of Metcalfe, Sterbenz, and Tataru and combine with a generalization of prior work by the present author to extend the latter work and establish local energy decay, under one additional symmetry hypothesis. Namely, we assume that either the imaginary part of the magnetic potentials are uniformly small or, more interestingly and novelly, that the damping term is the dominant principal term in the skew-adjoint part of the damped wave operator within the region where the metric perturbation from that of Minkowski space is permitted to be large. We also obtain an energy dichotomy if we do not prohibit non-zero real resonances. In order to make the structure of the argument more cohesive, we contextualize the present work within requisite existing theory.

Applications of $L^p-L^q$ estimates for solutions to semi-linear $σ$-evolution equations with general double damping
In this paper, we would like to study the linear Cauchy problems for semi-linear $\sigma$-evolution models with mixing a parabolic like damping term corresponding to $\sigma_1 \in [0,\sigma/2)$ and a $\sigma$-evolution like damping corresponding to $\sigma_2 \in (\sigma/2,\sigma]$. The main goals are on the one hand to conclude some estimates for solutions and their derivatives in $L^q$ setting, with any $q\in [1,\infty]$, by developing the theory of modified Bessel functions effectively to control oscillating integrals appearing the solution representation formula in a competition between these two kinds of damping. On the other hand, we are going to prove the global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions in the treatment of the corresponding semi-linear equations by applying $(L^{m}\cap L^{q})- L^{q}$ and $L^{q}- L^{q}$ estimates, with $q\in (1,\infty)$ and $m\in [1,q)$, from the linear models. Finally, some further generalizations will be discussed in the end of this paper.

Friction of a driven chain: Role of momentum conservation, Goldstone and radiation modes
We analytically study friction and dissipation of a driven bead in a 1D harmonic chain, and analyze the role of internal damping mechanism as well as chain length. Specifically, we investigate Dissipative Particle Dynamics and Langevin Dynamics, as paradigmatic examples that do and do not display translational symmetry, with distinct results: For identical parameters, the friction forces can differ by many orders of magnitude. For slow driving, a Goldstone mode traverses the entire system, resulting in friction of the driven bead that grows arbitrarily large (Langevin) or gets arbitrarily small (Dissipative Particle Dynamics) with system size. For a long chain, the friction for DPD is shown to be bound, while it shows a singularity (i.e. can be arbitrarily large) for Langevin damping. For long underdamped chains, a radiation mode is recovered in either case, with friction independent of damping mechanism. For medium length chains, the chain shows the expected resonant behavior. At the resonance, friction is non-analytic in damping parameter $\gamma$, depending on it as $\gamma^{-1}$. Generally, no zero frequency bulk friction coefficient can be determined, as the limits of small frequency and infinite chain length do not commute, and we discuss the regimes where "simple" macroscopic friction occurs.

Generalized Damping Torque Analysis of Ultra-Low Frequency Oscillation in the Jerk Space
Ultra low frequency oscillation (ULFO) is significantly threatening the power system stability. Its unstable mechanism is mostly studied via generalized damping torque analysis method (GDTA). However, the analysis still adopts the framework established for low frequency oscillation. Hence, this letter proposes a GDTA approach in the jerk space for ULFO. A multi-information variable is constructed to transform the system into a new state space, where it is found that the jerk dynamics of the turbine-generator cascaded system is a second-order differential equation. Benefiting from this characteristic, we propose a new form for GDTA using jerk dynamics, which is established in the frequency-frequency acceleration phase space. Then, analytical expressions of all damping torque are provided. Finally, test results verified the proposed theoretical results. The negative damping mechanism is revealed, and parameter adjustment measures are concluded.

Selective damping of plasmons in coupled two-dimensional systems by Coulomb drag
The Coulomb drag is a many-body effect observed in proximized low-dimensional systems. It appears as emergence of voltage in one of them upon passage of bias current in another. The magnitude of drag voltage can be strongly affected by exchange of plasmonic excitations between the layers; however, the reverse effect of Coulomb drag on properties of plasmons has not been studied. Here, we study the plasmon spectra and damping in parallel two-dimensional systems in the presence of Coulomb drag. We find that Coulomb drag leads to selective damping of one of the two fundamental plasma modes of a coupled bilayer. For identical electron doping of both layers, the drag suppresses the acoustic plasma mode; while for symmetric electron-hole doping of the coupled pair, the drag suppresses the optical plasma mode. The selective damping can be observed both for propagating modes in extended bilayers and for localized plasmons in bilayers confined by source and drain contacts. The discussed effect may provide access to the strength of Coulomb interaction in 2d electron systems from various optical and microwave scattering experiments.

Geometrical Interpretation of Neutrino Oscillation with decay
The geometrical representation of two-flavor neutrino oscillation represents the neutrino's flavor eigenstate as a magnetic moment-like vector that evolves around a magnetic field-like vector that depicts the Hamiltonian of the system. In the present work, we demonstrate the geometrical interpretation of neutrino in a vacuum in the presence of decay, which transforms this circular trajectory of neutrino into a helical track that effectively makes the neutrino system mimic a classical damped driven oscillator. We show that in the absence of the phase factor $\xi$ in the decay Hamiltonian, the neutrino exactly behaves like the system of nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR); however, the inclusion of the phase part introduces a $CP$ violation, which makes the system deviate from NMR. Finally, we make a qualitative discussion on under-damped, critically-damped, and over-damped scenarios geometrically by three different diagrams. In the end, we make a comparative study of geometrical picturization in vacuum, matter, and decay, which extrapolates the understanding of the geometrical representation of neutrino oscillation in a more straightforward way.

Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation for systems of stochastic damped wave equations with non-constant friction
We consider systems of damped wave equations with a state-dependent damping coefficient and perturbed by a Gaussian multiplicative noise. Initially, we investigate their well-posedness, under quite general conditions on the friction. Subsequently, we study the validity of the so-called Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation. We show that, under more stringent conditions on the friction, in the small-mass limit the solution of the system of stochastic damped wave equations converges to the solution of a system of stochastic quasi-linear parabolic equations. In this convergence, an additional drift emerges as a result of the interaction between the noise and the state-dependent friction. The identification of this limit is achieved by using a suitable generalization of the classical method of perturbed test functions, tailored to the current infinite dimensional setting.

Cause-effect relationship between model parameters and damping performance of hydraulic shock absorbers
Despite long-term research and development of modern shock absorbers, the effect of variations of several crucial material and model parameters still remains dubious. The goal of this work is therefore a study of the changes of shock absorber dynamics with respect to typical parameter ranges in a realistic model. We study the impact of shim properties, as well as geometric features such as discharge coefficients and bleed orifice cross section. We derive cause-effect relationships by nonlinear parameter fitting of the differential equations of the model and show digressive and progressive quadratic damping curves for shim number and thickness, sharp exponential curves for discharge coefficients, and leakage width, as well as a linear decrease of damping properties with bleed orifice area. Temperature increase affecting material properties, such as density and viscosity of the mineral oil, is found to have a mostly linear relationship with damping and pressure losses. Our results are not only significant for the general understanding of shock absorber dynamics, but also serve as a guidance for the development of specific models by following the proposed methodology.

Magnon Damping Minimum and Logarithmic Scaling in a Kondo-Heisenberg Model
Recently, an anomalous temperature evolution of spin wave excitations has been observed in a van der Waals metallic ferromagnet Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ (FGT) [S. Bao, et al., Phys. Rev. X 12, 011022 (2022)], whose theoretical understanding yet remains elusive. Here we study the spin dynamics of a ferromagnetic Kondo-Heisenberg lattice model at finite temperature, and propose a mechanism of magnon damping that explains the intriguing experimental results. In particular, we find the magnon damping rate $\gamma(T)$ firstly decreases as temperature lowers, due to the reduced magnon-magnon scatterings. It then reaches a minimum at $T_{\rm d}^*$, and rises up again following a logarithmic scaling $\gamma(T) \sim \ln{(T_0/T)}$ (with $T_0$ a constant) for $T < T_{\rm d}^*$, which can be attributed to electron-magnon scatterings of spin-flip type. Moreover, we obtain the phase diagram containing the ferromagnetic and Kondo insulator phases by varying the Kondo coupling, which may be relevant for experiments on pressured FGT. The presence of a magnon damping minimum and logarithmic scaling at low temperature indicates the emergence of the Kondo effect reflected in the collective excitations of local moments in a Kondo lattice system.

Simplified Information Geometry Approach for Massive MIMO-OFDM Channel Estimation -- Part II: Convergence Analysis
In Part II of this two-part paper, we prove the convergence of the simplified information geometry approach (SIGA) proposed in Part I. For a general Bayesian inference problem, we first show that the iteration of the common second-order natural parameter (SONP) is separated from that of the common first-order natural parameter (FONP). Hence, the convergence of the common SONP can be checked independently. We show that with the initialization satisfying a specific but large range, the common SONP is convergent regardless of the value of the damping factor. For the common FONP, we establish a sufficient condition of its convergence and prove that the convergence of the common FONP relies on the spectral radius of a particular matrix related to the damping factor. We give the range of the damping factor that guarantees the convergence in the worst case. Further, we determine the range of the damping factor for massive MIMO-OFDM channel estimation by using the specific properties of the measurement matrices. Simulation results are provided to confirm the theoretical results.

A Pure Integral-Type PLL with a Damping Branch to Enhance the Stability of Grid-Tied Inverter under Weak Grids
In a phase-locked loop (PLL) synchronized inverter, due to the strong nonlinear coupling between the PLL's parame-ters and the operation power angle, the equivalent damping coefficient will quickly deteriorate while the power angle is close to 90{\deg} under an ultra-weak grid, which causes the synchronous instability. To address this issue, in this letter, a pure integral-type phase-locked loop (IPLL) with a damping branch is proposed to replace the traditional PI-type PLL. The equivalent damping coefficient of an IPLL-synchronized inverter is decoupled with the steady-state power angle. As a result, the IPLL-synchronized inverter can stably operate under an ultra-weak grid when the equilibrium point exists. Finally, time-domain simulation results verify the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed IPLL.

Solving convex optimization problems via a second order dynamical system with implicit Hessian damping and Tikhonov regularization
This paper deals with a second order dynamical system with a Tikhonov regularization term in connection to the minimization problem of a convex Fr\'echet differentiable function. The fact that beside the asymptotically vanishing damping we also consider an implicit Hessian driven damping in the dynamical system under study allows us, via straightforward explicit discretization, to obtain inertial algorithms of gradient type. We show that the value of the objective function in a generated trajectory converges rapidly to the global minimum of the objective function and depending the Tikhonov regularization parameter the generated trajectory converges weakly to a minimizer of the objective function or the generated trajectory converges strongly to the element of minimal norm from the $\argmin$ set of the objective function. We also obtain the fast convergence of the velocities towards zero and some integral estimates. Our analysis reveals that the Tikhonov regularization parameter and the damping parameters are strongly correlated, there is a setting of the parameters that separates the cases when weak convergence of the trajectories to a minimizer and strong convergence of the trajectories to the minimal norm minimizer can be obtained.

Influence of temperature, doping, and amorphization on the electronic structure and magnetic damping of iron
Hybrid magnonic quantum systems have drawn increased attention in recent years for coherent quantum information processing, but too large magnetic damping is a persistent concern when metallic magnets are used. Their intrinsic damping is largely determined by electron-magnon scattering induced by spin-orbit interactions. In the low scattering limit, damping is dominated by intra-band electronic transitions, which has been theoretically shown to be proportional to the electronic density of states at the Fermi level. In this work, we focus on body-centered-cubic iron as a paradigmatic ferromagnetic material. We comprehensively study its electronic structure using first-principles density functional theory simulations and account for finite lattice temperature, boron (B) doping, and structure amorphization. Our results indicate that temperature induced atomic disorder and amorphous atomic geometries only have a minor influence. Instead, boron doping noticeably decreases the density of states near the Fermi level with an optimal doping level of 6.25%. In addition, we show that this reduction varies significantly for different atomic geometries and report that the highest reduction correlates with a large magnetization of the material. This may suggest materials growth under external magnetic fields as a route to explore in experiment.

Waves in strong centrifugal filed: dissipative gas
In the fast rotating gas (with the velocity typical for Iguassu gas centrifuge) three families of linear waves exist with different polarizations and law of dispersion. The energy of the waves is basically concentrated at the axis of rotation in the rarefied region. Therefore these waves decay on the distance comparable with the wavelength. There is only one type of waves propagating strictly along the axis of rotation with the law of dispersion similar to ordinary acoustic waves. These waves are interested for the physics of gas centrifuges. The energy density of these waves concentrates at the wall of the rotor. These waves have weak damping due to the molecular viscosity and heat conductivity. The damping coefficient is determined for this type of waves by numerical calculations. Analytical approximations for the damping coefficient is defined as well. At the parameters typical for the Iguassu centrifuge the damping is defined by interaction of the waves with the rotor wall.

Upper bound of the lifespan of the solution to the nonlinear fractional wave equations with time-dependent damping
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear wave equation with fractional Laplacian and time-dependent damping. Firstly, we derive the weighted Sobolev estimate of the solution operators for the linear wave equation with the damping of constant coefficient, and prove the local existence and uniqueness in the weighted Sobolev space for the power-type nonlinearity and $b(t)\in L^\infty$, by the contraction mapping principle. Secondly, we consider the case of the source nonlinearity $f(u)\approx |u|^p$. In the subcritical and critical cases $1<p\leq p_c=1+\frac \sigma N$, based on the blow-up result on the ordinary differential inequality, we could prove the blow-up of the solution and obtain the upper bound of the lifespan. And the upper bound of the lifespan in the critical case is independent on the coefficient of the time-dependent damping and is completely new even if the classical case $b(t)=1$.
