Negative Landau damping in bilayer graphene
We theoretically demonstrate that a system formed by two coupled graphene sheets enables a negative damping regime wherein graphene plasmons are pumped by a DC current. This effect is triggered by electrons drifting through one of the graphene sheets and leads to the spontaneous light emission (spasing) and wave instabilities in the mid-infrared range. It is shown that there is a deep link between the drift-induced instabilities and wave instabilities in moving media, as both result from the hybridization of oscillators with oppositely signed frequencies. With a thickness of few nanometers and wide spectral tunability, the proposed structure may find interesting applications in nanophotonic circuitry as an on-chip light source.

Effects on the CMB from magnetic field dissipation before recombination
Magnetic fields present before decoupling are damped due to radiative viscosity. This energy injection affects the thermal and ionization history of the cosmic plasma. The implications for the CMB anisotropies and polarization are investigated for different parameter choices of a non helical stochastic magnetic field. Assuming a Gaussian smoothing scale determined by the magnetic damping wave number at recombination it is found that magnetic fields with present day strength less than 0.1 nG and negative magnetic spectral indices have a sizeable effect on the CMB temperature anisotropies and polarization.

(1+1) Newton-Hooke Group for the Simple and Damped Harmonic Oscillator
It is demonstrated that, in the framework of the orbit method, a simple and damped harmonic oscillators are indistinguishable at the level of an abstract Lie algebra. This opens a possibility for treating the dissipative systems within the orbit method. In depth analysis of the coadjoint orbits of the $(1+1)$ dimensional Newton-Hooke group are presented. Further, it is argued that the physical interpretation is carried by a specific realisation of the Lie algebra of smooth functions on a phase space rather than by an abstract Lie algebra.

Controllability of the Strongly Damped Impulsive Semilinear Wave Equation with Memory and Delay
This article is devoted to study the interior approximated controllability of the strongly damped semilinear wave equation with memory, impulses and delay terms. The problem is challenging since the state equation contains memory and impulsive terms yielding to potential unbounded control sequences steering the system to a neighborhood of the final state, thus fixed point theorems cannot be used directly. As alternative, the A.E Bashirov and et al. techniques are applied and together with the delay allow the control solution to be directed to fixed curve in a short time interval and achieve our result.

Damping parametric instabilities in future gravitational wave detectors by means of electrostatic actuators
It has been suggested that the next generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors may observe spontaneously excited parametric oscillatory instabilities. We present a method of actively suppressing any such instability through application of electrostatic forces to the interferometers' test masses. Using numerical methods we quantify the actuation force required to damp candidate instabilities and find that such forces are readily achievable. Our predictions are subsequently verified experimentally using prototype Advanced LIGO hardware, conclusively demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.

Cross-damping effects in 1S-3S spectroscopy of hydrogen and deuterium
We calculate the cross-damping frequency shift of a laser-induced two-photon transition monitored through decay fluorescence, by adapting the analogy with Raman scattering developed by Amaro et al. [P. Amaro et al., PRA 92, 022514 (2015)]. We apply this method to estimate the frequency shift of the 1S-3S transition in hydrogen and deuterium. Taking into account our experimental conditions, we find a frequency shift of less than 1 kHz, that is smaller than our current statistical uncertainty.

Damping self-forces and Asymptotic Symmetries
Energy conservation in radiating processes requires, at the classical level, to take into account damping forces on the sources. These forces can be represented in terms of asymptotic data and lead to charges defined as integrals over the asymptotic boundary. For scattering processes these charges, in case of zero radiated energy, are conserved and encode the information about the sub-leading soft theorems and matching conditions. The QED version of the self forces is associated with the dependence of the differential cross section on the infrared resolution scale.

Exact Model Reduction for Damped-Forced Nonlinear Beams: An Infinite-Dimensional Analysis
We use invariant manifold results on Banach spaces to conclude the existence of spectral submanifolds (SSMs) in a class of nonlinear, externally forced beam oscillations. SSMs are the smoothest nonlinear extensions of spectral subspaces of the linearized beam equation. Reduction of the governing PDE to SSMs provides an explicit low-dimensional model which captures the correct asymptotics of the full, infinite-dimensional dynamics. Our approach is general enough to admit extensions to other types of continuum vibrations. The model-reduction procedure we employ also gives guidelines for a mathematically self-consistent modeling of damping in PDEs describing structural vibrations.

Weighted energy estimates for wave equation with space-dependent damping term for slowly decaying initial data
This paper is concerned with weighted energy estimates for solutions to wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\Delta u + a(x)\partial_tu=0$ with space-dependent damping term $a(x)=|x|^{-\alpha}$ $(\alpha\in [0,1))$ in an exterior domain $\Omega$ having a smooth boundary. The main result asserts that the weighted energy estimates with weight function like polymonials are given and these decay rate are almost sharp, even when the initial data do not have compact support in $\Omega$. The crucial idea is to use special solution of $\partial_t u=|x|^{\alpha}\Delta u$ including Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions.

Global well-posedness for the 2D Boussinesq equations with a velocity damping term
In this paper, we prove global well-posedness of smooth solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq equations with only a velocity damping term when the initial data is close to an nontrivial equilibrium state $(0,x_2)$. As a by-product, under this equilibrium state, our result gives a positive answer to the question proposed by [ACWX] (see P.3597).

Second sound in systems of one-dimensional fermions
We study sound in Galilean invariant systems of one-dimensional fermions. At low temperatures, we find a broad range of frequencies in which in addition to the waves of density there is a second sound corresponding to ballistic propagation of heat in the system. The damping of the second sound mode is weak, provided the frequency is large compared to a relaxation rate that is exponentially small at low temperatures. At lower frequencies the second sound mode is damped, and the propagation of heat is diffusive.

Equilibrium of a Brownian particle with coordinate dependent diffusivity and damping: Generalized Boltzmann distribution
Fick's law for coordinate dependent diffusivity is derived. Corresponding diffusion current in the presence of coordinate dependent diffusivity is consistent with the form as given by Kramers-Moyal expansion. We have obtained the equilibrium solution of the corresponding Smoluchowski equation. The equilibrium distribution is a generalization of the Boltzmann distribution. This generalized Boltzmann distribution involves an effective potential which is a function of coordinate dependent diffusivity. We discuss various implications of the existence of this generalized Boltzmann distribution for equilibrium of systems with coordinate dependent diffusivity and damping.

Global small solutions of 3D incompressible Oldroyd-B model without damping mechanism
In this paper, we prove the global existence of small smooth solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Oldroyd-B model without damping on the stress tensor. The main difficulty is the lack of full dissipation in stress tensor. To overcome it, we construct some time-weighted energies based on the special coupled structure of system. Such type energies show the partial dissipation of stress tensor and the strongly full dissipation of velocity. In the view of treating "nonlinear term" as a "linear term", we also apply this result to 3D incompressible viscoelastic system with Hookean elasticity and then prove the global existence of small solutions without the physical assumption (div-curl structure) as previous works.

$L^2$ asymptotic profiles of solutions to linear damped wave equations
In this paper we obtain higher order asymptotic profilles of solutions to the Cauchy problem of the linear damped wave equation in $\textbf{R}^n$ \begin{equation*} u_{tt}-\Delta u+u_t=0, \qquad u(0,x)=u_0(x), \quad u_t(0,x)=u_1(x), \end{equation*} where $n\in\textbf{N}$ and $u_0$, $u_1\in L^2(\textbf{R}^n)$. Established hyperbolic part of asymptotic expansion seems to be new in the sense that the order of the expansion of the hyperbolic part depends on the spatial dimension.

Linear inviscid damping and enhanced dissipation for the Kolmogorov flow
In this paper, we prove the linear inviscid damping and voticity depletion phenomena for the linearized Euler equations around the Kolmogorov flow. These results confirm Bouchet and Morita's predictions based on numerical analysis. By using the wave operator method introduced by Li, Wei and Zhang, we solve Beck and Wayne's conjecture on the optimal enhanced dissipation rate for the 2-D linearized Navier-Stokes equations around the bar state called Kolmogorov flow. The same dissipation rate is proved for the Navier-Stokes equations if the initial velocity is included in a basin of attraction of the Kolmogorov flow with the size of $\nu^{\frac 23+}$, here $\nu$ is the viscosity coefficient.

Statistical mechanics of Landau damping
Landau damping is the tendency of solutions to the Vlasov equation towards spatially homogeneous distribution functions. The distribution functions however approach the spatially homogeneous manifold only weakly, and Boltzmann entropy is not changed by Vlasov equation. On the other hand, density and kinetic energy density, which are integrals of the distribution function, approach spatially homogeneous states strongly, which is accompanied by growth of the hydrodynamic entropy. Such a behavior can be seen when Vlasov equation is reduced to the evolution equations for density and kinetic energy density by means of the Ehrenfest reduction.

Lepton-portal Dark Matter in Hidden Valley model and the DAMPE recent results
We study the recent $e^\pm$ cosmic ray excess reported by DAMPE in a Hidden Valley Model with lepton-portal dark matter. We find the electron-portal can account for the excess well and satisfy the DM relic density and direct detection bounds, while electron+muon/electron+muon+tau-portal suffers from strong constraints from lepton flavor violating observables, such as $\mu \to 3 e$. We also discuss possible collider signatures of our model, both at the LHC and a future 100 TeV hadron collider.

Radiative Dirac neutrino mass, DAMPE dark matter and leptogenesis
We explain the electron-positron excess reported by the DAMPE collaboration recently in a radiative Dirac seesaw model where a dark $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry can (i) forbid the tree-level Yukawa couplings of three right-handed neutrinos to the standard model lepton and Higgs doublets, (ii) predict the existence of three dark fermions for the gauge anomaly cancellation, (iii) mediate a testable scattering of the lightest dark fermion off the nucleons. Our model can also accommodate a successful leptogenesis to generate the cosmic baryon asymmetry.

Sub-logistic source can prevent blow-up in the 2D minimal Keller-Segel chemotaxis system
It is well-known that the Neumann initial-boundary value problem for the minimal-chemotaxis-logistic system in a 2D bounded smooth domain has no blow-up for any choice of parameters. Here, for a large class of kinetic terms including sub-logistic sources, we show that the corresponding 2D Neumann initial-boundary value problems do not possess any blow-up. This illustrates a new phenomenon that even a class of sub-logistic sources can prevent blow-up for the 2D problem, indicating that logistic damping is not the weakest damping to guarantee uniform-in-time boundedness for the 2D minimal Keller-Segel chemotaxis model.

Convergence to Equilibrium in Wasserstein distance for damped Euler equations with interaction forces
We develop tools to construct Lyapunov functionals on the space of probability measures in order to investigate the convergence to global equilibrium of a damped Euler system under the influence of external and interaction potential forces with respect to the 2-Wasserstein distance. We also discuss the overdamped limit to a nonlocal equation used in the modelling of granular media with respect to the 2-Wasserstein distance, and provide rigorous proofs for particular examples in one spatial dimension.

Normal-mode-based analysis of electron plasma waves with second-order Hermitian formalism
The classic problem of the dynamic evolution of Langmuir electron waves in a collisionless plasma and their Landau damping is cast as a second-order, self-adjoint problem with a continuum spectrum of real and positive squared frequencies. The corresponding complete basis of singular normal modes is obtained, along with their orthogonality relation. This yields easily the general expression of the time-reversal-invariant solution for any initial-value problem. An example is given for a specific initial condition that illustrates the Landau damping of the macroscopic moments of the perturbation.

Discontinuous energy shaping control of the Chaplygin sleigh
In this paper we present an energy shaping control law for set-point regulation of the Chaplygin sleigh. It is well known that nonholonomic mechanical systems cannot be asymptotically stabilised using smooth control laws as they do no satisfy Brockett's necessary condition for smooth stabilisation. Here, we propose a discontinuous control law that can be seen as a potential energy shaping and damping injection controller. The proposed controller is shown to be robust against the parameters of both the inertia matrix and the damping structure of the open-loop system.

Robust integral action of port-Hamiltonian systems
Interconnection and damping assignment, passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) has proven to be a successful control technique for the stabilisation of many nonlinear systems. In this paper, we propose a method to robustify a system which has been stabilised using IDA-PBC with respect to constant, matched disturbances via the addition of integral action. The proposed controller extends previous work on the topic by being robust against the damping of the system, a quantity which may not be known in many applications.

A study of Landau damping with random initial inputs
For the Vlasov-Poisson equation with random uncertain initial data, we prove that the Landau damping solution given by the deterministic counterpart (Caglioti and Maffei, {\it J. Stat. Phys.}, 92:301-323, 1998) depends smoothly on the random variable if the time asymptotic profile does, under the smoothness and smallness assumptions similar to the deterministic case. The main idea is to generalize the deterministic contraction argument to more complicated function spaces to estimate derivatives in space, velocity and random variables. This result suggests that the random space regularity can persist in long-time even in time-reversible nonlinear kinetic equations.

Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation for the damped stochastic wave equation with multiplicative noise in any spatial dimension
We show that the solutions to the damped stochastic wave equation converge pathwise to the solution of a stochastic heat equation. This is called the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation. Cerrai and Freidlin have previously demonstrated that this result holds in the cases where the system is exposed to additive noise in any spatial dimension or when the system is exposed to multiplicative noise and the spatial dimension is one. The current paper proves that the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation is valid in any spatial dimension when the system is exposed to multiplicative noise.

Controllability and observability for non-autonomous evolution equations: the averaged Hautus test
We consider the observability problem for non-autonomous evolution systems (i.e., the operators governing the system depend on time). We introduce an averaged Hautus condition and prove that for skew-adjoint operators it characterizes exact observability. Next, we extend this to more general class of operators under a growth condition on the associated evolution family. We give an application to the Schr\"odinger equation with time dependent potential and the damped wave equation with a time dependent damping coefficient.

Global-in-time Stability of 2D MHD boundary Layer in the Prandtl-Hartmann Regime
In this paper, we prove global existence of solutions with analytic regularity to the 2D MHD boundary layer equations in the mixed Prandtl and Hartmann regime derived by formal multi-scale expansion in \cite{GP}. The analysis shows that the combined effect of the magnetic diffusivity and transveral magnetic field on the boundary leads to a linear damping on the tangential velocity field near the boundary. And this damping effect yields the global in time analytic norm estimate in the tangential space variable on the perturbation of the classical steady Hartmann profile.

Modal approach to the controllability problem of distributed parameter systems with damping
This paper is devoted to the controllability analysis of a class of linear control systems in a Hilbert space. It is proposed to use the minimum energy controls of a reduced lumped parameter system for solving the infinite dimensional steering problem approximately. Sufficient conditions of the approximate controllability are formulated for a modal representation of a flexible structure with small damping.

Study of Quantum Walk over a Square Lattice
Quantum random walk finds application in efficient quantum algorithms as well as in quantum network theory. Here we study the mixing time of a discrete quantum walk over a square lattice in presence percolation and decoherence. We consider bit-flip and phase damping noise, and evaluate the instantaneous mixing time for both the cases. Using numerical analysis we show that in case of phase damping noise probability distribution of walker's position is sufficiently close to the uniform distribution after infinite time. However, during the action of bit-flip noise, even after infinite time the total variation distance between the two probability distributions is large enough.

Improving the capacity of quantum dense coding by weak measurement and reversal measurement
A protocol of quantum dense coding protection of two qubits is proposed in amplitude damping (AD) channel using weak measurement and reversal measurement. It is found that the capacity of quantum dense coding under the weak measurement and reversal measurement is always greater than that without weak measurement and reversal measurement. When the protocol is applied, for the AD channels with different damping coefficient, the result reflects that quantum entanglement can be protected and quantum dense coding becomes successful.

Motion of a superconducting loop in an inhomogeneous magnetic field: a didactic experiment
We present an experiment conductive to an understanding of both Faraday's law and the properties of the superconducting state. It consists in the analysis of the motion of a superconducting loop moving under the influence of gravity in an inhomogeneous horizontal magnetic field. Gravity, conservation of magnetic flux, and friction combine to give damped harmonic oscillations. The measured frequency of oscillation and the damping constant as a function of the magnetic field strength (the only free parameter) are in good agreement with the theoretical model.

Optomechanical damping as the origin of sideband asymmetry
Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to 'n+1' and 'n' excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with this as well as other interpretations, such as quantum backaction and noise interference, and show that the asymmetry is due to the optomechanical damping caused by the probe and the cooling lasers instead.

On the asymptotic stability of stratified solutions for the 2D Boussinesq equations with a velocity damping term
We consider the 2D Boussinesq equations with a velocity damping term in a strip $\mathbb{T}\times[-1,1]$, with impermeable walls. In this physical scenario, where the \textit{Boussinesq approximation} is accurate when density/temperature variations are small, our main result is the asymptotic stability for a specific type of perturbations of a stratified solution. To prove this result, we use a suitably weighted energy space combined with linear decay, Duhamel's formula and "bootstrap" arguments.

A linearized and conservative Fourier pseudo-spectral method for the damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three dimensions
In this paper, we propose a linearized Fourier pseudo-spectral method, which preserves the total mass and energy conservation laws, for the damped nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in three dimensions. With the aid of the semi-norm equivalence between the Fourier pseudo-spectral method and the finite difference method, an optimal $L^2$-error estimate for the proposed method without any restriction on the grid ratio is established by analyzing the real and imaginary parts of the error function. Numerical results are addressed to confirm our theoretical analysis.

Global existence and blow-up for semilinear damped wave equations in three space dimensions

This paper is devoted to a proof of the Takamura's conjecture on the lifespan of solutions.

B-field induced mixing between Langmuir waves and axions
We present an analytic study of the dispersion relation for an isotropic magnetized plasma interacting with axions. We provide a quantitative picture of the electromagnetic plasma oscillations in both the ultrarelativistic and nonrelativistic regimes and considering both non-degenerate and degenerate media, accounting for the dispersion curves as a function of the plasma temperature and the ratio of the plasma phase velocity to the characteristic velocity of particles. We include the modifications on the Landau damping of plasma waves induced by the presence of the axion field, and we comment on the effects of damping on subluminal plasma oscillations.

Moment conditions and lower bounds in expanding solutions of wave equations with double damping terms
In this report we obtain higher order asymptotic expansions of solutions to wave equations with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms. Although the diffusion phenomena are dominant, differences between the solutions we deal with and those of heat equations can be seen by comparing the second order expansions of them. In order to analyze such effects we consider the weighted L1 initial data. We also give some lower bounds which show the optimality of obtained expansions.

Continuity of the set equilibria of non-autonomous damped wave equations with terms concentrating on the boundary
In this paper we are interested in the behavior of the solutions of non-autonomous damped wave equations when some reaction terms are concentrated in a neighborhood of the boundary and this neighborhood shrinks to boundary as a parameter \varepsilon goes to zero. We prove the conti- nuity of the set equilibria of these equations. Moreover, if an equilibrium solution of the limit problem is hyperbolic, then we show that the per- turbed equation has one and only one equilibrium solution nearby.

Protecting temporal correlations of two-qubit states using quantum channels with memory
Quantum temporal correlations exhibited by violations of Leggett-Garg Inequality (LGI) and Temporal Steering Inequality (TSI) are in general found to be non-increasing under decoherence channels when probed on two-qubit pure entangled states. We study the action of decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase-damping and depolarising channels when partial memory is introduced in a way such that two consecutive uses of the channels are time-correlated. We show that temporal correlations demonstrated by violations of the above temporal inequalities can be protected against decoherence using the effect of memory.

Global existence for weakly coupled systems of semi-linear structurally damped $σ$-evolution models with different power nonlinearities
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problems for weakly coupled systems of semi-linear structurally damped $\sigma$-evolution models with different power nonlinearities. By assuming additional $L^m$ regularity on the initial data, with $m \in [1,2)$, we use $(L^m \cap L^2)- L^2$ and $L^2- L^2$ estimates for solutions to the corresponding linear Cauchy problems to prove the global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions to the weakly coupled systems of semi-linear models from suitable function spaces.

On the energy decay rates for the 1D damped fractional Klein-Gordon equation
We consider the fractional Klein-Gordon equation in one spatial dimension, subjected to a damping coefficient, which is non-trivial and periodic, or more generally strictly positive on a periodic set. We show that the energy of the solution decays at the polynomial rate $O(t^{-\frac{s}{4-2s}})$ for $0< s<2 $ and at some exponential rate when $s\geq 2$. Our approach is based on the asymptotic theory of $C_0$ semigroups in which one can relate the decay rate of the energy in terms of the resolvent growth of the semigroup generator. The main technical result is a new observability estimate for the fractional Laplacian, which may be of independent interest.

Global well-posedness in the critical Besov spaces for the incompressible Oldroyd-B model without damping mechanism
We prove the global well-posedness in the critical Besov spaces for the incompressible Oldroyd-B model without damping mechanism on the stress tensor in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for the small initial data. Our proof is based on the observation that the behaviors of Green's matrix to the system of $\big(u,(-\Delta)^{-\frac12}\mathbb{P}\nabla\cdot\tau\big)$ as well as the effects of $\tau$ change from the low frequencies to the high frequencies and the construction of the appropriate energies in different frequencies.

This result allows to construct global solutions for a class of highly oscillating initial velocity. The proof uses the special structure of the system. Moreover, our theorem extends the previous result by Zhu [19] and covers the recent result by Chen and Hao [4].

Nonlinear Damped Timoshenko Systems with Second Sound - Global Existence and Exponential Stability
In this paper, we consider nonlinear thermoelastic systems of Timoshenko type in a one-dimensional bounded domain. The system has two dissipative mechanisms being present in the equation for transverse displacement and rotation angle - a frictional damping and a dissipation through hyperbolic heat conduction modelled by Cattaneo's law, respectively. The global existence of small, smooth solutions and the exponential stability in linear and nonlinear cases are established.

Quantum witness of a damped qubit with generalized measurements
We evaluate the quantum witness based on the no-signaling-in-time condition of a damped two-level system for nonselective generalized measurements of varying strength. We explicitly compute its dependence on the measurement strength for a generic example. We find a vanishing derivative for weak measurements and an infinite derivative in the limit of projective measurements. The quantum witness is hence mostly insensitive to the strength of the measurement in the weak measurement regime and displays a singular, extremely sensitive dependence for strong measurements. We finally relate this behavior to that of the measurement disturbance defined in terms of the fidelity between pre-measurement and post-measurement states.

Blow up of solutions to semilinear non-autonomous wave equations under Robin boundary conditions
The problem of blow up of solutions to the initial boundary value problem for non-autonomous semilinear wave equation with damping and accelerating terms under the Robin boundary condition is studied. Sufficient conditions of blow up in a finite time of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations with arbitrary large initial energy are obtained. A result on blow up of solutions with negative initial energy of semilinear second order wave equation with accelerating term is also obtained.

Global existence of weak solutions for strongly damped wave equations with nonlinear boundary conditions and balanced potentials
We demonstrate the global existence of weak solutions to a class of semilinear strongly damped wave equations possessing nonlinear hyperbolic dynamic boundary conditions. Our work assumes $(-\Delta_W)^\theta \partial_tu$ with $\theta\in[\frac{1}{2},1)$ and where $\Delta_W$ is the Wentzell-Laplacian. Hence, the associated linear operator admits a compact resolvent. A balance condition is assumed to hold between the nonlinearity defined on the interior of the domain and the nonlinearity on the boundary. This allows for arbitrary (supercritical) polynomial growth on each potential, as well as mixed dissipative/anti-dissipative behavior. Moreover, the nonlinear function defined on the interior of the domain is assumed to be only $C^0$.

Cold Damping of an Optically Levitated Nanoparticle to micro-Kelvin Temperatures
We implement a cold damping scheme to cool one mode of the center-of-mass motion of an optically levitated nanoparticle in ultrahigh vacuum from room temperature to a record-low temperature of 100 micro-Kelvin. The measured temperature dependence on feedback gain and thermal decoherence rate is in excellent agreement with a parameter-free model. We determine the imprecision-backaction product for our system and provide a roadmap towards ground-state cooling of optically levitated nanoparticles.

Decay of semilinear damped wave equations:cases without geometric control condition
We consider the semilinear damped wave equation $\partial_{tt}^2 u(x,t)+\gamma(x)\partial_t u(x,t)=\Delta u(x,t)-\alpha u(x,t)-f(x,u(x,t))$. In this article, we obtain the first results concerning the stabilization of this semilinear equation in cases where $\gamma$ does not satisfy the geometric control condition. When some of the geodesic rays are trapped, the stabilization of the linear semigroup is semi-uniform in the sense that $\|e^{At}A^{-1}\|\leq h(t)$ for some function $h$ with $h(t)\rightarrow 0$ when $t\rightarrow +\infty$. We provide general tools to deal with the semilinear stabilization problem in the case where $h(t)$ has a sufficiently fast decay.

Non-Markovian Effects on Overdamped Systems
We study the consequences of adopting the memory dependent, non-Markovian, physics with the memory-less over-damped approximation usually employed to investigate Brownian particles. Due to the finite correlation time scale associated with the noise, the stationary behavior of the system is not described by the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. However, the presence of a very weak external white noise can be used to regularize the equilibrium properties. Surprisingly, the coupling to another bath effectively restores the dynamical aspects missed by the over-damped treatment.

Stability analysis of a 1D wave equation with a nonmonotone distributed damping
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability analysis of a one dimensional wave equation subject to a nonmonotone distributed damping. A well-posedness result is provided together with a precise characterization of the asymptotic behavior of the trajectories of the system under consideration. The well-posedness is proved in the nonstandard L p functional spaces, with p $\in$ [2, $\infty$], and relies mostly on some results collected in Haraux (2009). The asymptotic behavior analysis is based on an attractivity result on a specific infinite-dimensional linear time-variant system.

Comment on "Quantization of the damped harmonic oscillator" [Serhan et al, J. Math. Phys. 59, 082105 (2018)]
A recent paper [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 59}, 082105 (2018)] constructs a Hamiltonian for the (dissipative) damped harmonic oscillator. We point out that non-Hermiticity of this Hamiltonian has been ignored to find real discrete eigenvalues which are actually non-real. We emphasize that non-Hermiticity in Hamiltonian is crucial and it is a quantal signature of dissipation.

Memory effects teleportation of quantum Fisher information under decoherence
We have investigated how memory effects on the teleportation of quantum Fisher information(QFI) for a single qubit system using a class of X-states as resources influenced by decoherence channels with memory, including amplitude damping, phase-damping and depolarizing channels. Resort to the definition of QFI, we first derive the explicit analytical results of teleportation of QFI with respect to weight parameter $\theta$ and phase parameter $\phi$ under the decoherence channels. Component percentages, the teleportation of QFI for a two-qubit entanglement system has also been addressed. The remarkable similarities and differences among these two situations are also analyzed in detail and some significant results are presented.

Uniform decay rates for a suspension bridge with locally distributed nonlinear damping
We study a nonlocal evolution equation modeling the deformation of a bridge, either a footbridge or a suspension bridge. Contrarily to the previous literature we prove the asymptotic stability of the considered model with a minimum amount of damping which represents less cost of material. The result is also numerically proved.

Spectra of the Dissipative Spin Chain
This paper generalizes the (0+1)-dimensional spin-boson problem to the corresponding (1+1)-dimensional version. Monte Carlo simulation is used to find the phase diagram and imaginary time correlation function. The real frequency spectrum is recovered by the newly developed P\'ade regression analytic continuation method. We find that, as dissipation strength $\alpha$ is increased, the sharp quasi-particle spectrum is broadened and the peak frequency is lower. According to the behavior of the low frequency spectrum, we classify the dynamical phase into three different regions: weakly damped, linear $k$-edge, and strongly damped.

Sensing Kondo correlations in a suspended carbon nanotube mechanical resonator with spin-orbit coupling
We study electron mechanical coupling in a suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dot device. Electron spin couples to the flexural vibration mode due to spin-orbit coupling in the electron tunneling processes. In the weak coupling limit, i.e. electron-vibration coupling is much smaller than the electron energy scale, the damping and resonant frequency shift of the CNT resonator can be obtained by calculating the dynamical spin susceptibility. We find that strong spin-flip scattering processes in Kondo regime significantly affect the mechanical motion of the carbon nanotube: Kondo effect induces strong damping and frequency shift of the CNT resonator.

Lifespan of semilinear generalized Tricomi equation with Strauss type exponent
In this paper, we consider the blow-up problem of semilinear generalized Tricomi equation. Two blow-up results with lifespan upper bound are obtained under subcritical and critical Strauss type exponent. In the subcritical case, the proof is based on the test function method and the iteration argument. In the critical case, an iteration procedure with the slicing method is employed. This approach has been successfully applied to the critical case of semilinear wave equation with perturbed Laplacian or the damped wave equation of scattering damping case. The present work gives its application to the generalized Tricomi equation.

A remark on semi-linear damped $σ$-evolution equations with a modulus of continuity term in nonlinearity
In this article, we indicate that under suitable assumptions of a modulus of continuity we obtain either the global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions or the blow-up result of local (in time) Sobolev solutions to semi-linear damped $\sigma$-evolution equations with a modulus of continuity term in nonlinearity.

Critical regularity of nonlinearities in semilinear classical damped wave equations
In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for the semilinear damped wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u + u_t = h(u);\qquad u(0;x) = f(x); \quad u_t(0;x) = g(x);$ where $h(s) = |s|^{1+2/n}\mu(|s|)$. Here n is the space dimension and $\mu$ is a modulus of continuity. Our goal is to obtain sharp conditions on $\mu$ to obtain a threshold between global (in time) existence of small data solutions (stability of the zerosolution) and blow-up behavior even of small data solutions.

Origin of the DAMPE 1.4 TeV peak
Recent accurate measurements of cosmic ray electron flux by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) reveal a sharp peak structure near 1.4 TeV, which is difficult to explain by standard astrophysical processes. In this letter, we propose a simple model that the enhanced dark matter annihilation via the $e^+e^-$ channel and with the thermal relic annihilation cross section around the current nearest black hole (A0620-00) can satisfactorily account for the sharp peak structure. The predicted dark matter mass is $\sim 1.5-3$ TeV.

Decay estimate for the solution of the evolutionary damped $p$-Laplace equation
In this note, we study the asymptotic behavior, as $t$ tends to infinity, of the solution $u$ to the evolutionary damped $p$-Laplace equation \begin{equation*} u_{tt}+a\, u_t =\Delta_p u \end{equation*} with Dirichlet boundary values. Let $u^*$ denote the stationary solution with same boundary values, then the $W^{1,p}$-norm of $u(t) - u^{*}$ decays for large $t$ like $t^{-\frac{1}{(p-1)p}}$, in the degenerate case $ p > 2$.

Asymptotic profiles for damped plate equations with rotational inertia terms
We consider the Cauchy problem for plate equations with rotational inertia and frictional damping terms. We will derive asymptotic profiles of the solution in L^2-sense as time goes to infinity in the case when the initial data have high and low regularity, respectively. Especially, in the low regularity case of the initial data one encounters the regularity-loss structure of the solutions, and the analysis is more delicate. We employ the so-called Fourier splitting method combined with the explicit expression of the solutions (high frequency estimates) and the method due to Ikehata (low frequency estimates).

Small perturbations for a Duffing-like evolution equation involving non-commuting operators
We consider an abstract evolution equation with linear damping, a nonlinear term of Duffing type, and a small forcing term. The abstract problem is inspired by some models for damped oscillations of a beam subject to external loads or magnetic fields, and shaken by a transversal force. The main feature is that very natural choices of the boundary conditions lead to equations whose linear part involves two operators that do not commute. We extend to this setting the results that are known in the commutative case, namely that for asymptotically small forcing terms all solutions are eventually close to the three equilibrium points of the unforced equation, two stable and one unstable.

A study of coherence based measure of quantumness in (non) Markovian channels
We make a detailed analysis of quantumness for various quantum noise channels, both Markovian and non-Markovian. The noise channels considered include dephasing channels like random telegraph noise, non-Markovian dephasing and phase damping, as well as the non-dephasing channels such as generalized amplitude damping and Unruh channels. We make use of a recently introduced witness for quantumness based on the square $l_1$ norm of coherence. It is found that the increase in the degree of non-Markovianity increases the quantumness of the channel.

Stabilization for vibrating plate with singular structural damping
We consider the dynamic elasticity equation, modeled by the Euler-Bernoulli plate equation, with a locally distributed singular structural (or viscoelastic ) damping in a boundary domain. Using a frequency domain method combined, based on the Burq's result, combined with an estimate of Carleman type we provide precise decay estimate showing that the energy of the system decays logarithmically as the type goes to the infinity.

A no-go result for the quantum damped harmonic oscillator
In this letter we show that it is not possible to set up a canonical quantization for the damped harmonic oscillator using the Bateman lagrangian. In particular, we prove that no square integrable vacuum exists for the {\em natural} ladder operators of the system, and that the only vacua can be found as distributions. This implies that the procedure proposed by some authors is only formally correct, and requires a much deeper analysis to be made rigorous.

Mismatched Estimation of Polynomially Damped Signals
In this work, we consider the problem of estimating the parameters of polynomially damped sinusoidal signals, commonly encountered in, for instance, spectroscopy. Generally, finding the parameter values of such signals constitutes a high-dimensional problem, often further complicated by not knowing the number of signal components or their specific signal structures. In order to alleviate the computational burden, we herein propose a mismatched estimation procedure using simplified, approximate signal models. Despite the approximation, we show that such a procedure is expected to yield predictable results, allowing for statistically and computationally efficient estimates of the signal parameters.

Temperature-Dependent Lifetimes of Low-Frequency Adsorbate Modes from Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulations
We present calculations on the damping of a low-frequency adsorbate mode on a metal surface, namely the frustrated translation of Na on Cu(100). For the first time, vibrational lifetimes of excited adlayers are extracted from non-equilibrium molecular dynamics calculations accounting for both the phononic and the electronic dissipation channels. The relative contributions of the two damping mechanisms, which we show to be additive, are found to disagree with textbook predictions. A simple model based on separable harmonic and anharmonic contributions is able to semi-quantitatively reproduce the temperature dependence of the computed lifetimes.

Formal expansions in stochastic model for wave turbulence 1: kinetic limit
We consider the damped/driver (modified) cubic NLS equation on a large torus with a properly scaled forcing and dissipation, and decompose its solutions to formal series in the amplitude. We study the second order truncation of this series and prove that when the amplitude goes to zero and the torus' size goes to infinity the energy spectrum of the truncated solutions becomes close to a solution of the damped/driven wave kinetic equation. Next we discuss higher order truncations of the series.

Thresholds for low regularity solutions to wave equations with structural damping
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to wave equations with a structural damping term \[ u_{tt}-\Delta u+\Delta^2 u_t=0, \qquad u(0,x)=u_0(x), \,\,\, u_t(0,x)=u_1(x), \] in the whole space. New thresholds are reported in this paper that indicate which of the diffusion wave property and the non-diffusive structure dominates in low regularity cases. We develop to that end the previous author's research in 2019 where they have proposed a threshold that expresses whether the parabolic-like property or the wave-like property strongly appears in the solution to some regularity-loss type dissipative wave equation.

Lindblad dynamics of the damped and forced quantum harmonic oscillator
The quantum dynamics of a damped and forced harmonic oscillator is investigated in terms of a Lindblad master equation. Elementary algebraic techniques are employed allowing for example to analyze the long time behavior, i.e. the quantum limit cycle. The time evolution of various expectation values is obtained in closed form as well as the entropy and the Husimi phase space distribution. We also discuss the related description in terms of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.

Decay estimates for the linear damped wave equation on the Heisenberg group
This paper is devoted to the derivation of $L^2$ - $L^2$ decay estimates for the solution of the homogeneous linear damped wave equation on the Heisenberg group $\mathbf{H}_n$, for its time derivative and for its horizontal gradient. Moreover, we consider the improvement of these estimates when further $L^1(\mathbf{H}_n)$ regularity is required for the Cauchy data. Our approach will rely strongly on the group Fourier transform of $\mathbf{H}_n$ and on the properties of the Hermite functions that form a maximal orthonormal system for $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of eigenfunctions of the harmonic oscillator.

Critical exponent of Fujita-type for the semilinear damped wave equation on the Heisenberg group with power nonlinearity
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the semilinear damped wave equation on the Heisenberg group with power nonlinearity. We prove that the critical exponent is the Fujita exponent $p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(\mathscr{Q}) = 1+2 / \mathscr{Q}$, where $\mathscr{Q}$ is the homogeneous dimension of the Heisenberg group. On the one hand, we will prove the global existence of small data solutions for $p >p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(\mathscr{Q})$ in an exponential weighted energy space. On the other hand, a blow-up result for $1 < p \leq p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(\mathscr{Q})$ under certain integral sign assumptions for the Cauchy data by using the test function method.

Invariant measures for stochastic damped 2D Euler equations
We study the two-dimensional Euler equations, damped by a linear term and driven by an additive noise. The existence of weak solutions has already been studied; pathwise uniqueness is known for solutions that have vorticity in $L^\infty$. In this paper, we prove the Markov property and then the existence of an invariant measure in the space $L^\infty$ by means of a Krylov-Bogoliubov's type method, working with the weak$\star$ and the bounded weak$\star$ topologies in $L^\infty$.

A blow-up result for semi-linear structurally damped $σ$-evolution equations
We would like to prove a blow-up result for semi-linear structurally damped $\sigma$-evolution equations, where $\sigma \ge 1$ and $\delta\in [0,\sigma)$ are assumed to be any fractional numbers. To deal with the fractional Laplacian operators $(-\Delta)^\sigma$ and $(-\Delta)^\delta$ as well-known non-local operators, in general, it seems difficult to apply the standard test function method directly. For this reason, in this paper we shall construct new test functions to overcome this difficulty.

Action Functional for a Particle with Damping
In this brief report we discuss the action functional of a particle with damping, showing that it can be obtained from the dissipative equation of motion through a modification which makes the new dissipative equation invariant for time reversal symmetry. This action functional is exactly the effective action of Caldeira-Leggett model but, in our approach, it is derived without the assumption that the particle is weakly coupled to a bath of infinite harmonic oscillators.

Remark on global existence of solutions to the 1D compressible Euler equation with time-dependent damping
In this paper, we consider the 1D compressible Euler equation with the damping coefficient $\lambda/(1+t)^{\mu}$. Under the assumption that $0\leq \mu <1$ and $\lambda >0$ or $\mu=1$ and $\lambda > 2$, we prove that solutions exist globally in time, if initial data are small $C^1$ perturbation near constant states. In particular, we remove the conditions on the limit $\lim_{|x| \rightarrow \infty} (u (0,x), v (0,x))$, assumed in previous results.

Equilibrium radiation in a plasma medium with spatial and frequency dispersion
Examination of equilibrium radiation in plasma media shows that the spectral energy distribution of such radiation is different from the Planck equilibrium radiation. Using the approach of quantum electrodynamics the general relation for the spectral energy density of equilibrium radiation in a system of charged particles is found. The obtained result takes into account the influence of plasma on equilibrium radiation through the explicit transverse dielectric permittivity which takes into account spatial and frequency dispersion, as well as the finite collisional damping. For the limiting case of an infinitesimal damping the result coincides with the known expression.

Blow-up of solutions to semilinear strongly damped wave equations with different nonlinear terms in an exterior domain
In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem in an exterior domain for semilinear strongly damped wave equations with power nonlinear term of the derivative-type $|u_t|^q$ or the mixed-type $|u|^p+|u_t|^q$, where $p,q>1$. On one hand, employing the Banach fixed-point theorem we prove local (in time) existence of mild solutions. On the other hand, under some conditions for initial data and the exponents of power nonlinear terms, the blow-up results are derived by applying the test function method.

Linear Inviscid Damping in Sobolev and Gevrey Spaces
In a recent article Jia established linear inviscid damping in Gevrey regularity for compactly supported Gevrey regular shear flows in a finite channel, which is of great interest in view of existing nonlinear results. In this article we provide an alternative very short proof of stability in Gevrey regularity as a consequence of stability in high Sobolev regularity. Here, we consider both the setting of a finite channel with compactly supported perturbations and of an infinite channel without this restriction. Furthermore, we consider the setting where perturbations vanish only of finite order.

Assuming the smallness of initial data in exponentially weighted spaces and some conditions on powers of nonlinearity, we prove global (in time) existence of small data energy solution with suitable higher regularity by using a weighted energy method.

Main goal is to find the threshold, which classifies the global (in time) existence of small data solutions or the nonexistence of global solutions under the growth condition of the nonlinearities.

We investigate the asymptotic properties of the trajectories generated by a second-order dynamical system with Hessian driven damping and a Tikhonov regularization term in connection with the minimization of a smooth convex function in Hilbert spaces. We obtain fast convergence results for the function values along the trajectories. The Tikhonov regularization term enables the derivation of strong convergence results of the trajectory to the minimizer of the objective function of minimum norm.

Negative mobility, sliding and delocalization for stochastic networks
We consider prototype configurations for quasi-one-dimensional stochastic networks that exhibit negative mobility, meaning that current decreases or even reversed as the bias is increased. We then explore the implications of disorder. In particular we ask whether lower and upper bias thresholds restrict the possibility to witness non-zero current (sliding and anti-sliding transitions respectively), and whether a delocalization effect manifest itself (crossover from over-damped to under-damped relaxation). In the latter context detailed analysis of the relaxation spectrum as a function of the bias is provided for both on-chain and off-chain disorder.

We investigate how damping the lowest Fourier mode modifies the dynamics of the cubic Szeg{\"o} equation. We show that there is a nonempty open subset of initial data generating trajec-tories with high Sobolev norms tending to infinity. In addition, we give a complete picture of this phenomenon on a reduced phase space of dimension 6. An appendix is devoted to numerical simulations supporting the generalisation of this picture to more general initial data.

The long time behavior and the rate of convergence of symplectic convex algorithms obtained via splitting discretizations of inertial damping systems
In this paper we propose new numerical algorithms in the setting of unconstrained optimization problems and we study the rate of convergence in the iterates of the objective function. Furthermore, our algorithms are based upon splitting and symplectic methods and they preserve the energy properties of the inherent continuous dynamical system that contains a Hessian perturbation. At the same time, we show that Nesterov gradient method is equivalent to a Lie-Trotter splitting applied to a Hessian driven damping system. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented in order to validate the theoretical results.

Long-time asymptotics of the one-dimensional damped nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation
For the one-dimensional nonlinear damped Klein-Gordon equation \[ \partial_{t}^{2}u+2\alpha\partial_{t}u-\partial_{x}^{2}u+u-|u|^{p-1}u=0 \quad \mbox{on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$,}\] with $\alpha>0$ and $p>2$, we prove that any global finite energy solution either converges to $0$ or behaves asymptotically as $t\to \infty$ as the sum of $K\geq 1$ decoupled solitary waves. In the multi-soliton case $K\geq 2$, the solitary waves have alternate signs and their distances are of order $\log t$.

Distributional Solutions of the Damped Wave Equation
This work presents results on solutions of the one-dimensional damped wave equation, also called telegrapher's equation, when the initial conditions are general distributions, not only functions. We make a complete deduction of its fundamental solutions, both for positive and negative times. To obtain them we use only self-similarity arguments and distributional calculus, making no use of Fourier or Laplace transforms. We next use these fundamental solutions to prove both the existence and the uniqueness of solutions to the distributional initial value problem. As applications we recover the semigroup property for initial data in classical function spaces and also the probability distribution function for a certain financial model of evolution of prices.

Description of the wavevector dispersion of surface plasmon-phonon-polaritons
We reported here the results of the calculations of wavevector dispersion of oscillations frequencies, $\omega'(k)$, and damping $\omega''(k)$ of the surface plasmon phonon polaritons (\mbox{SPPhP}) for the heavy-doped GaN sample. We showed that $\omega'(k)$- dependence consists of the three branches with the specific anticrossing behavior due to the interaction of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) with surface phonon polariton(SPhP). The strong renormalization of the damping $\omega''(k)$ in the vicinity of the anticrossing region was found. The obtained dispersions of the $\omega'(k)$ and $\omega''(k)$ were applied for the analytical analysis of exact electrodynamic simulation of the resonant behavior of the reflectivity spectrum of the n-GaN grating.

The Cauchy problem of the semilinear second order evolution equation with fractional Laplacian and damping
In the present paper, we prove time decay estimates of solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces to the second order evolution equation with fractional Laplacian and damping for data in Besov spaces. Our estimates generalize the estimates obtained in the previous studies. The second aim of this article is to apply these estimates to prove small data global well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of the equation with power nonlinearities. Especially, the estimates obtained in this paper enable us to treat more general conditions on the nonlinearities and the spatial dimension than the results in the previous studies.

Time-Asymptotics of Physical Vacuum Free Boundaries for Compressible Inviscid Flows with Damping
In this paper, we prove the leading term of time-asymptotics of the moving vacuum boundary for compressible inviscid flows with damping to be that for Barenblatt self-similar solutions to the corresponding porous media equations obtained by simplifying momentum equations via Darcy's law plus the possible shift due to the movement of the center of mass, in the one-dimensional and three-dimensional spherically symmetric motions, respectively. This gives a complete description of the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the corresponding vacuum free boundary problems. The results obtained in this paper are the first ones concerning the large time asymptotics of physical vacuum boundaries for compressible inviscid fluids, to the best of our knowledge.

Landau damping for analytic and Gevrey data
In this paper, we give an elementary proof of the nonlinear Landau damping for the Vlasov-Poisson system near Penrose stable equilibria on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d \times \mathbb{R}^d$ that was first obtained by Mouhot and Villani in \cite{MV} for analytic data and subsequently extended by Bedrossian, Masmoudi, and Mouhot \cite{BMM} for Gevrey-$\gamma$ data, $\gamma\in(\frac13,1]$. Our proof relies on simple pointwise resolvent estimates and a standard nonlinear bootstrap analysis, using an ad-hoc family of analytic and Gevrey-$\gamma$ norms.

Strichartz estimates for mixed homogeneous surfaces in three dimensions
We obtain sharp mixed norm Strichartz estimates associated to mixed homogeneous surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Both cases with and without a damping factor are considered. In the case when a damping factor is considered our results yield a wide generalization of a result of Carbery, Kenig, and Ziesler [CKZ13]. The approach we use is to first classify all possible singularities locally, after which one can tackle the problem by appropriately modifying the methods from the paper of Ginibre and Velo [GV92], and by using the recently developed methods by Ikromov and M\"uller [IM16].

Critical exponent for semi-linear structurally damped wave equation of derivative type
Main purpose of this paper is to study the following semi-linear structurally damped wave equation with nonlinearity of derivative type: $$u_{tt}- \Delta u+ \mu(-\Delta)^{\sigma/2} u_t= |u_t|^p,\quad u(0,x)= u_0(x),\quad u_t(0,x)=u_1(x),$$ with $\mu>0$, $n\geq1$, $\sigma \in (0,2]$ and $p>1$. In particular, we are going to prove the non-existence of global weak solutions by using a new test function and suitable sign assumptions on the initial data in both the subcritical case and the critical case.

Exponential decay for damped Klein-Gordon equations on asymptotically cylindrical and conic manifolds
We study the decay of the global energy for the damped Klein-Gordon equation on non-compact manifolds with finitely many cylindrical and subconic ends up to bounded perturbation. We prove that under the Geometric Control Condition, the decay is exponential, and that under the weaker Network Control Condition, the decay is logarithmic, by developing the global Carleman estimate with multiple weights.

Zero-dimensional models for gravitational and scalar QED decoherence
We investigate the dynamics of two quantum mechanical oscillator system-bath toy models obtained by truncating to zero spatial dimensions linearized gravity coupled to a massive scalar field and scalar QED. The scalar-gravity toy model maps onto the phase damped oscillator, while the scalar QED toy model approximately maps onto an oscillator system subject to two-photon damping. The toy models provide potentially useful insights into solving for open system quantum dynamics relevant to the full scalar QED and weak gravitational field systems, in particular operational probes of the decoherence for initial scalar field system superposition states.
