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.

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 $b(t)=1$.
