Beliaev damping in Bose gas
According to the Bogoliubov theory the low energy behaviour of the Bose gas at zero temperature can be described by non-interacting bosonic quasiparticles called phonons. In this work the damping rate of phonons at low momenta, the so-called Beliaev damping, is explained and computed with simple arguments involving the Fermi Golden Rule and Bogoliubov's quasiparticles.

Energy scattering for the unsteady damped nonlinear Schrodinger equation
We investigate the large time behavior of the solutions to the nonlinear focusing Schr\"odinger equation with a time-dependent damping in the energy sub-critical regime. Under non classical assumptions on the unsteady damping term, we prove some scattering results in the energy space.

Direct detection of metal-insulator phase transitions using the modified Backus-Gilbert method
The detection of the (semi)metal-insulator phase transition can be extremely difficult if the local order parameter which characterizes the ordered phase is unknown.In some cases, it is even impossible to define a local order parameter: the most prominent example of such system is the spin liquid state. This state was proposed to exist in theHubbard model on the hexagonal lattice in a region between the semimetal phase and the antiferromagnetic insulator phase. The existence of this phase has been the subject of a long debate. In order to detect these exotic phases we must use alternative methods to those used for more familiar examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We have modified the Backus-Gilbert method of analytic continuation which was previously used in the calculation of the pion quasiparticle mass in lattice QCD. The modification of the method consists of the introduction of the Tikhonov regularization scheme which was used to treat the ill-conditioned kernel. This modified Backus-Gilbert method is applied to the Euclidean propagators in momentum space calculated using the hybridMonte Carlo algorithm. In this way, it is possible to reconstruct the full dispersion relation and to estimate the mass gap, which is a direct signal of the transition to the insulating state. We demonstrate the utility of this method in our calculations for the Hubbard model on the hexagonal lattice. We also apply the method to the metal-insulator phase transition in the Hubbard-Coulomb model on the square lattice.

Bounds and Code Constructions for Partially Defect Memory Cells
This paper considers coding for so-called partially stuck memory cells. Such memory cells can only store partial information as some of their levels cannot be used due to, e.g., wear out. First, we present a new code construction for masking such partially stuck cells while additionally correcting errors. This construction (for cells with $q >2$ levels) is achieved by generalizing an existing masking-only construction in [1] (based on binary codes) to correct errors as well. Compared to previous constructions in [2], our new construction achieves larger rates for many sets of parameters. Second, we derive a sphere-packing (any number of $u$ partially stuck cells) and a Gilbert-Varshamov bound ($u<q$ partially stuck cells) for codes that can mask a certain number of partially stuck cells and correct errors additionally. A numerical comparison between the new bounds and our previous construction of PSMCs for the case $u<q$ in [2] shows that our construction lies above the Gilbert-Varshamov-like bound for several code parameters.

Mechanisms of spin-polarized current-driven magnetization switching
The mechanisms of the magnetization switching of magnetic multilayers driven by a current are studied by including exchange interaction between local moments and spin accumulation of conduction electrons. It is found that this exchange interaction leads to two additional terms in the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation: an effective field and a spin torque. Both terms are proportional to the transverse spin accumulation and have comparable magnitudes.

Domain instability during precessional magnetization reversal
Spin wave equations in the non-equilibrium precessing state of a ferromagnetic system are found. They show a spin-wave instability towards growing domains of stable magnetization. Precession of the uniform magnetization mode is described by the Landau Lifshitz equation with the exponentially growing in time effective Gilbert dissipation constant that could have both signs. On the developed stages of the domain instability a non-stationary picture of domain chaos is observed.

Perturbations of a Stringy Black Hole
We extend the three dimensional stringy black hole of Horne and Horowitz to four dimensions. After a brief discussion of the global properties of the metric, we discuss the stability of the background with respect to small perturbations, following the methods of Gilbert and of Chandrasekhar. The potential for axial perturbations is found to be positive definite.

Finitely presented subgroups of automatic groups and their isoperimetric functions
We describe a general technique for embedding certain amalgamated products into direct products. This technique provides us with a way of constructing a host of finitely presented subgroups of automatic groups which are not even asynchronously automatic. We can also arrange that such subgroups satisfy, at best, an exponential isoperimetric inequality.

Log-periodic drift oscillations in self-similar billiards
We study a particle moving at unit speed in a self-similar Lorentz billiard channel; the latter consists of an infinite sequence of cells which are identical in shape but growing exponentially in size, from left to right. We present numerical computation of the drift term in this system and establish the logarithmic periodicity of the corrections to the average drift.

Asymptotic Bound on Binary Self-Orthogonal Codes
We present two constructions for binary self-orthogonal codes. It turns out that our constructions yield a constructive bound on binary self-orthogonal codes. In particular, when the information rate R=1/2, by our constructive lower bound, the relative minimum distance \delta\approx 0.0595 (for GV bound, \delta\approx 0.110). Moreover, we have proved that the binary self-orthogonal codes asymptotically achieve the Gilbert-Varshamov bound.

Scott and Swarup's regular neighbourhood as a tree of cylinders
Let G be a finitely presented group. Scott and Swarup have constructed a canonical splitting of G which encloses all almost invariant sets over virtually polycyclic subgroups of a given length. We give an alternative construction of this regular neighbourhood, by showing that it is the tree of cylinders of a JSJ splitting.

Self-organized quantum transitions in a spin-electron coupled system
We investigate quantum dynamics of the excited electronic states in the double-exchange model at half-filling by solving coupled equations for the quantum evolution of electrons and Landau-Lifshits-Gilbert equation for classical spins. The non-adiabatic quantum transitions driving the relaxation are coordinated through the self-organized space-time structure of the electron/spin dynamics leading to a resonant precession analogous to the ESR process.

Oscillating Ponomarenko dynamo in the highly conducting limit
This paper considers dynamo action in smooth helical flows in cylindrical geometry, otherwise known as Ponomarenko dynamos, with periodic time dependence. An asymptotic framework is developed that gives growth rates and frequencies in the highly conducting limit of large magnetic Reynolds number, when modes tend to be localized on resonant stream surfaces. This theory is validated by means of numerical simulations.

Factoring Permutation Matrices Into a Product of Tridiagonal Matrices
Gilbert Strang posited that a permutation matrix of bandwidth $w$ can be written as a product of $N < 2w$ permutation matrices of bandwidth 1. A proof employing a greedy ``parallel bubblesort'' algorithm on the rows of the permutation matrix is detailed and further points of interest are elaborated.

A new look at finitely generated metabelian groups
A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear on their study. The object of this paper is to describe some of the new ideas and open problems that arise.

Residual properties of groups defined by basic commutators
In this paper we study the residual nilpotence of groups defined by basic commutators. We prove that the so-called Hydra groups as well as certain of their generalizations and quotients are, in the main, residually torsion-free nilpotent. By way of contrast we give an example of a group defined by two basic commutators which is not residually torsion-free nilpotent.

Anisimov's Theorem for inverse semigroups
The idempotent problem of a finitely generated inverse semigroup is the formal language of all words over the generators representing idempotent elements. This note proves that a finitely generated inverse semigroup with regular idempotent problem is necessarily finite. This answers a question of Gilbert and Noonan Heale, and establishes a generalisation to inverse semigroups of Anisimov's Theorem for groups.

A semi-discrete scheme for the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation
We propose a new convergent time semi-discrete scheme for the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The scheme is only linearly implicit and does not require the resolution of a nonlinear problem at each time step. Using a martingale approach, we prove the convergence in law of the scheme up to a subsequence.

Manipulation of magnetic Skyrmions with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope
The dynamics of a single magnetic Skyrmion in an atomic spin system under the influence of Scanning Tunneling Microscope is investigated by computer simulations solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Two possible scenarios are described: manipulation with aid of a spin-polarized tunneling current and by an electric field created by the scanning tunneling microscope. The dynamics during the creation and annihilation process is studied and the possibility to move single Skyrmions is showed.

Quantile Reinforcement Learning
In reinforcement learning, the standard criterion to evaluate policies in a state is the expectation of (discounted) sum of rewards. However, this criterion may not always be suitable, we consider an alternative criterion based on the notion of quantiles. In the case of episodic reinforcement learning problems, we propose an algorithm based on stochastic approximation with two timescales. We evaluate our proposition on a simple model of the TV show, Who wants to be a millionaire.

Elementary equivalence vs commensurability for hyperbolic groups
We study to what extent torsion-free (Gromov)-hyperbolic groups are elementarily equivalent to their finite index subgroups. In particular, we prove that a hyperbolic limit group either is a free product of cyclic groups and surface groups, or admits infinitely many subgroups of finite index which are pairwise non elementarily equivalent.

The method is based on the solution to the inverse scattering problem with photoactivated internal sources. Numerical simulations of three-dimensional structures demonstrate that a resolution of approximately $\lambda/25$ is achievable.

Enhanced global signal of neutral hydrogen due to excess radiation at cosmic dawn
We revisit the global 21cm signal calculation incorporating a possible radio background at early times, and find that the global 21cm signal shows a much stronger absorption feature, which could enhance detection prospects for future 21 cm experiments. In light of recent reports of a possible low-frequency excess radio background, we propose that detailed 21 cm calculations should include a possible early radio background.

Variational approximation of functionals defined on $1$-dimensional connected sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$
In this paper we consider the Euclidean Steiner tree problem and, more generally, (single sink) Gilbert--Steiner problems as prototypical examples of variational problems involving 1-dimensional connected sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Following the the analysis for the planar case presented in [4], we provide a variational approximation through Ginzburg--Landau type energies proving a $\Gamma$-convergence result for $n \geq 3$.

Limiting Distributions of Sums with Random Spectral Weights
This paper studies the asymptotic properties of weighted sums of the form $Z_n=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i$, in which $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~random variables and $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ correspond to either eigenvalues or singular values in the classic Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi-Gilbert model. In particular, we prove central limit-type theorems for the sequences $n^{-1}Z_n$ with varying conditions imposed on $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$.

Stochastic excitation and damping of solar-type oscillations
A review on acoustic mode damping and excitation in solar-type stars is presented. Current models for linear damping rates are discussed in the light of recent low-degree solar linewidth measurements with emphasis on the frequency-dependence of damping rates of low-order modes. Recent developments in stochastic excitation models are reviewed and tested against the latest high-quality data of solar-like oscillations, such as from alpha Cen A, and against results obtained from hydrodynamical simulations.

A theoretical study on the damping of collective excitations in a Bose-Einstein condensate
We study the damping of low-lying collective excitations of condensates in a weakly interacting Bose gas model within the framework of imaginary time path integral. A general expression of the damping rate has been obtained in the low momentum limit for both the very low temperature regime and the higher temperature regime. For the latter, the result is new and applicable to recent experiments. Theoretical predictions for the damping rate are compared with the experimental values.

Damping in dilute Bose gases: a mean-field approach
Damping in a dilute Bose gas is investigated using a mean-field approximation which describes the coupled oscillations of condensate and non-condensate atoms in the collisionless regime. Explicit results for both Landau and Beliaev damping rates are given for non-uniform gases. In the case of uniform systems we obtain results for the damping of phonons both at zero and finite temperature. The isothermal compressibility of a uniform gas is also discussed.

Damped Bogoliubov excitations of a condensate interacting with a static thermal cloud
We calculate the damping of condensate collective excitations at finite temperatures arising from the lack of equilibrium between the condensate and thermal atoms. We neglect the non-condensate dynamics by fixing the thermal cloud in static equilibrium. We derive a set of generalized Bogoliubov equations for finite temperatures that contain an explicit damping term due to collisional exchange of atoms between the two components. We have numerically solved these Bogoliubov equations to obtain the temperature dependence of the damping of the condensate modes in a harmonic trap. We compare these results with our recent work based on the Thomas-Fermi approximation.

Cavity assisted quasiparticle damping in a Bose-Einstein condensate
We consider an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate held within an optical cavity and interacting with laser fields. We show how the interaction of the cavity mode with the condensate can cause energy due to excitations to be coupled to a lossy cavity mode, which then decays, thus damping the condensate, how to choose parameters for damping specific excitations, and how to target a range of different excitations to potentially produce extremely cold condensates.

The nonlinear damping of Bose-Einstein condensate oscillations at ultra-low temperatures
We analyze the damping of the transverse breathing mode in an elongated trap at ultralow temperatures. The damping occurs due to the parametric resonance entailing the energy transfer to the longitudinal degrees of freedom. It is found that the nonlinear coupling between the transverse and discrete longitudinal modes can result in an anomalous behavior of the damping as a function of time with the partially reversed pumping of the breathing mode. The picture revealed explains the results observed in [16].

Tunable magnetization damping in transition metal ternary alloys
We show that magnetization damping in Permalloy, Ni80Fe20 (``Py''), can be enhanced sufficiently to reduce post-switching magnetization precession to an acceptable level by alloying with the transition metal osmium (Os). The damping increases monotonically upon raising the Os-concentration in Py, at least up to 9% of Os. Other effects of alloying with Os are suppression of magnetization and enhancement of in-plane anisotropy. Magnetization damping also increases significantly upon alloying with the five other transition metals included in this study (4d-elements: Nb, Ru, Rh; 5d-elements: Ta, Pt) but never as strongly as with Os.

Nonlinear damping in nanomechanical beam oscillator
We investigate the impact of nonlinear damping on the dynamics of a nanomechanical doubly clamped beam. The beam is driven into nonlinear regime and the response is measured by a displacement detector. For data analysis we introduce a nonlinear damping term to Duffing equation. The experiment shows conclusively that accounting for nonlinear damping effects is needed for correct modeling of the nanomechanical resonators under study.

The origin of increase of damping in transition metals with rare earth impurities
The damping due to rare earth impurities in transition metals is discussed in the low concentration limit. It is shown that the increase in damping is mainly due to the coupling of the orbital moments of the rare earth impurities and the conduction $p$-electrons. It is shown that an itinerant picture for the host transition ions is needed to reproduce the observed dependence of the damping on the total angular moment of the rare earths.

Simplified models of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation damping
In previous work the authors analysed the global properties of an approximate model of radiation damping for charged particles. This work is put into context and related to the original motivation of understanding approximations used in the study of gravitational radiation damping. It is examined to what extent the results obtained previously depend on the particular model chosen. Comparisons are made with other models for gravitational and electromagnetic fields. The relation of the kinetic model for which theorems were proved to certain many-particle models with radiation damping is exhibited.

Damping Rate of a Yukawa Fermion at Finite Temperature
The damping of a massless fermion coupled to a massless scalar particle at finite temperature is considered using the Braaten-Pisarski resummation technique. First the hard thermal loop diagrams of this theory are extracted and effective Green's functions are constructed. Using these effective Green's functions the damping rate of a soft Yukawa fermion is calculated. This rate provides the most simple example for the damping of a soft particle. To leading order it is proportional to $g^2T$, whereas the one of a hard fermion is of higher order.

Moduli decay in the hot early Universe
We consider moduli fields interacting with thermalized relativistic matter. We determine the temperature dependence of their damping rate and find it is dominated by thermal effects in the high temperature regime, i.e. for temperatures larger than their mass. For a simple scalar model the damping rate is expressed through the known matter bulk viscosity. The high temperature damping rate is always smaller than the Hubble rate, so that thermal effects are not sufficient for solving the cosmological moduli problem.

Inviscid limit for damped and driven incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in ${{\mathbb R}^2}$
We consider the zero viscosity limit of long time averages of solutions of damped and driven Navier-Stokes equations in ${\mathbb R}^2$. We prove that the rate of dissipation of enstrophy vanishes. Stationary statistical solutions of the damped and driven Navier-Stokes equations converge to renormalized stationary statistical solutions of the damped and driven Euler equations. These solutions obey the enstrophy balance.

Traveling solitons in the damped driven nonlinear Schrödinger equation
The well known effect of the linear damping on the moving nonlinear Schr\"odinger soliton (even when there is a supply of energy via the spatially homogeneous driving) is to quench its momentum to zero. Surprisingly, the zero momentum does not necessarily mean zero velocity. We show that two or more parametrically driven damped solitons can form a complex traveling with zero momentum at a nonzero constant speed. All traveling complexes we have found so far, turned out to be unstable. Thus, the parametric driving is capable of sustaining the uniform motion of damped solitons, but some additional agent is required to stabilize it.

The Landau Damping Effect and Complex-valued Nature of Physical Quantities
Within the framework of the hypothesis offered by authors about complex-valued nature of physical quantities, the effect of the Landau damping has been explored with assumption that not only frequency can be a small imaginary component but also a wave vector. The numerical solution of the obtained dispersion equation testifies that uncollisional damping is accompanied in a certain region of space by antidumping of waves, and in particular situations antidumping may prevail over damping. It is possible that this effect may explain the experimental difficulties connected with inhibition of instabilities of plasma in the problem of controllable thermonuclear fusion.

Nontrapping arrest of Langmuir wave damping near the threshold amplitude
Evolution of a Langmuir wave is studied numerically for finite amplitudes slightly above the threshold which separates damping from nondamping cases. Arrest of linear damping is found to be a second-order effect due to ballistic evolution of perturbations, resonant power transfer between field and particles, and organization of phase space into a positive slope for the average distribution function $f_{av}$ around the resonant wave phase speed $v_\phi$. Near the threshold trapping in the wave potential does not arrest damping or saturate the subsequent growth phase.

Decoherence and Entanglement in Two-mode Squeezed Vacuum States
I investigate the decoherence of two-mode squeezed vacuum states by analyzing the relative entropy of entanglement. I consider two sources of decoherence: (i) the phase damping and (ii) the amplitude damping due to the coupling to the thermal environment. In particular, I give the exact value of the relative entropy of entanglement for the phase damping model. For the amplitude damping model, I give an upper bound for the relative entropy of entanglement, which turns out to be a good approximation for the entanglement measure in usual experimental situations.

Damped Population Oscillation in a Spontaneously Decaying Two-Level Atom Coupled to a Monochromatic Field
We investigate the time evolution of atomic population in a two-level atom driven by a monochromatic radiation field, taking spontaneous emission into account. The Rabi oscillation exhibits amplitude damping in time caused by spontaneous emission. We show that the semiclassical master equation leads in general to an overestimation of the damping rate and that a correct quantitative description of the damped Rabi oscillation can thus be obtained only with a full quantum mechanical theory.

Linear frictional forces cause orbits to neither circularize nor precess
For the undamped Kepler potential the lack of precession has historically been understood in terms of the Runge-Lenz symmetry. For the damped Kepler problem this result may be understood in terms of the generalization of Poisson structure to damped systems suggested recently by Tarasov[1]. In this generalized algebraic structure the orbit-averaged Runge-Lenz vector remains a constant in the linearly damped Kepler problem to leading order in the damping coe

Frequency-dependent Drude damping in Casimir force calculations
The Casimir force is calculated between Au thin films that are described by a Drude model with a frequency dependent damping function. The model parameters are obtained from available experimental data for Au thin films. Two cases are considered; annealed and nonannealed films that have a different damping function. Compared with the calculations using a Drude model with a constant damping parameter, we observe changes in the Casimir force of a few percent. This behavior is only observed in films of no more than 300 $\AA$ thick.

Dipole Oscillations of a Fermi Gas in a Disordered Trap: Damping and Localization
We theoretically study the dipole oscillations of an ideal Fermi gas in a disordered trap. We show that even weak disorder induces strong damping of the oscillations and we identify a metal-insulator crossover. For very weak disorder, we show that damping results from a dephasing effect related to weak random perturbations of the energy spectrum. For increasing disorder, we show that the Fermi gas crosses over to an insulating regime characterized by strong-damping due to the proliferation of localized states.

Confronting the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations with observation
We investigate the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the matter power spectrum due to the quasinonlinear clustering and redshift-space distortions by confronting the models with the observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey luminous red galaxy sample. The chi-squared test suggests that the observed power spectrum is better matched by models with the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations rather than the ones without the damping.

Spectral deviations for the damped wave equation
We prove a Weyl-type fractal upper bound for the spectrum of the damped wave equation, on a negatively curved compact manifold. It is known that most of the eigenvalues have an imaginary part close to the average of the damping function. We count the number of eigenvalues in a given horizontal strip deviating from this typical behaviour; the exponent that appears naturally is the `entropy' that gives the deviation rate from the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for the geodesic flow. A Weyl-type lower bound is still far from reach; but in the particular case of arithmetic surfaces, and for a strong enough damping, we can use the trace formula to prove a result going in this direction.

Pressure Fronts in 1D Damped Nonlinear Lattices
The propagation of pressure fronts (impact solutions) in 1D chains of atoms coupled by anharmonic potentials between nearest neighbor and submitted to damping forces preserving uniform motion, is investigated. Travelling fronts between two regions at different uniform pressures are found numerically and well approximate analytically. It is proven that there are three analytical relations between the impact velocity, the compression, the front velocity and the energy dissipation which only depend on the coupling potential and are \textit{independent} of the damping. Such travelling front solutions cannot exist without damping.

Bloch oscillations in lattice potentials with controlled aperiodicity
We numerically investigate the damping of Bloch oscillations in a one-dimensional lattice potential whose translational symmetry is broken in a systematic manner, either by making the potential bichromatic or by introducing scatterers at distinct lattice sites. We find that the damping strongly depends on the ratio of lattice constants in the bichromatic potential, and that even a small concentration of scatterers can lead to strong damping. Moreover, mean-field interactions are able to counteract aperiodicity-induced damping of Bloch oscillations.

Decoherence and damping in ideal gases
The particle and current densities are shown to display damping and undergo decoherence in ideal quantum gases. The damping is read off from the equations of motion reminiscent of the Navier-Stokes equations and shows some formal similarity with Landau damping. The decoherence leads to consistent density and current histories with characteristic length and time scales given by the ideal gas.

The effect of spin magnetization in the damping of electron plasma oscillations
The effect of spin of particles in the propagation of plasma waves is studied using a semi-classical kinetic theory for a magnetized plasma. We focus in the simple damping effects for the electrostatic wave modes besides Landau damping. Without taking into account more quantum effects than spin contribution to Vlasov's equation, we show that spin produces a new damping or instability which is proportional to the zeroth order magnetization of the system. This correction depends on the electromagnetic part of the wave which is coupled with the spin vector.

Recent Progress on a Manifold Damped and Detuned Structure for CLIC
A damped detuned structure for the main X-band linacs of CLIC is being investigated as an alternative design to the present baseline heavily damped structure. In our earlier designs we studied detuned structures, operating at 11.994 GHz, with a range of dipole bandwidths in order to ensure the structure satisfies beam dynamics and rf breakdown constraints. Here we report on the development of a damped and detuned structure which satisfies both constraints. Preparations for high power testing of the structure are also discussed

Finite temperature damping of collective modes of a BCS-BEC crossover superfluid
A new mechanism is proposed to explain the puzzling damping of collective excitations, which was recently observed in the experiments of strongly interacting Fermi gases below the superfluid critical temperature on the fermionic (BCS) side of Feshbach resonance. Sound velocity, superfluid density and damping rate are calculated with effective field theory. We find that a dominant damping process is due to the interaction between superfluid phonons and thermally excited fermionic quasiparticles, in contrast to the previously proposed pair-breaking mechanism. Results from our effective model are compared quantitatively with recent experimental findings, showing a good agreement.

Confinement induced by fermion damping in three-dimensional QED
The three-dimensional non-compact QED is known to exhibit weak confinement when fermions acquire a finite mass via the mechanism of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. In this paper, we study the effect of fermion damping caused by elastic scattering on the classical potential between fermions. By calculating the vacuum polarization function that incorporates the fermion damping effect, we show that fermion damping can induce a weak confinement even when the fermions are massless and the chiral symmetry is not broken.

Highly Damped Quasinormal Modes and the Small Scale Structure of Quantum Corrected Black Hole Exteriors
Quasinormal modes provide valuable information about the structure of spacetime outside a black hole. There is also a conjectured relationship between the highly damped quasinormal modes and the semi-classical spectrum of the horizon area/entropy. In this paper, we show that for spacetimes characterized by more than one scale, the "infinitely damped" modes in principle probe the structure of spacetime outside the horizon at the shortest length scales. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the highly damped quasinormal modes of the non-singular, single horizon, quantum corrected black hole derived in [14].

Simple Non-Markovian Microscopic Models for the Depolarizing Channel of a Single Qubit
The archetypal one-qubit noisy channels ---depolarizing, phase-damping and amplitude-damping channels--- describe both Markovian and non-Markovian evolution. Simple microscopic models for the depolarizing channel, both classical and quantum, are considered. Microscopic models which describe phase damping and amplitude damping channels are briefly reviewed.

On radiative damping in plasma-based accelerators
Radiative damping in plasma-based electron accelerators is analyzed. The electron dynamics under combined influence of the constant accelerating force and the classical radiation reaction force is studied. It is shown that electron acceleration cannot be limited by radiation reaction. If initially the accelerating force was stronger than the radiation reaction force then the electron acceleration is unlimited. Otherwise the electron is decelerated by radiative damping up to a certain instant of time and then accelerated without limits. Regardless of the initial conditions the infinite-time asymptotic behavior of an electron is governed by self-similar solution providing unlimited acceleration. The relative energy spread induced by the radiative damping decreases with time in the infinite-time limit.

Damping of optomechanical disks resonators vibrating in air
We report on miniature GaAs disk optomechanical resonators vibrating in air in the radiofrequency range. The flexural modes of the disks are studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical interferometry, and correctly modeled with the elasticity theory for annular plates. The mechanical damping is systematically measured, and confronted with original analytical models for air damping. Formulas are derived that correctly reproduce both the mechanical modes and the damping behavior, and can serve as design tools for optomechanical applications in fluidic environment.

A Generalized Interpolation Inequality and its Application to the Stabilization of Damped Equations
In this paper, we establish a generalized H{\"o}lder's or interpolation inequality for weighted spaces in which the weights are non-necessarily homogeneous. We apply it to the stabilization of some damped wave-like evolution equations. This allows obtaining explicit decay rates for smooth solutions for more general classes of damping operators. In particular, for $1-d$ models, we can give an explicit decay estimate for pointwise damping mechanisms supported on any strategic point.

Conformation dependent damping and generalization of fluctuation-dissipation relation
Damping on an object generally depends on its conformation (shape size etc.). We consider the Langevin dynamics of a model system with a conformation dependent damping and generalize the fluctuation dissipation relation to fit in such a situation. We derive equilibrium distribution function for such a case which converges to the standard Boltzmann form at the limit of uniform damping. The results can have implications, in general, for barrier overcoming processes where standard Boltzmann statistics is slow.

On algebraic damping close to inhomogeneous Vlasov equilibria in multi-dimensional spaces
We investigate the asymptotic damping of a perturbation around inhomogeneous stable stationary states of the Vlasov equation in spatially multi-dimensional systems. We show that branch singularities of the Fourier-Laplace transform of the perturbation yield algebraic dampings. In two spatial dimensions, we classify the singularities and compute the associated damping rate and frequency. This 2D setting also applies to spherically symmetric self-gravitating systems. We validate the theory using a toy model and an advection equation associated with the isochrone model, a model of spherical self-gravitating systems.

Phenomenological model of anomalous magnon softening and damping in half-metallic manganites
To describe anomalous zone-boundary softening and damping of magnons in manganites we present a phenomenological two-fluid model containing ferromagnetic Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid components. The Fermi-liquid component accounts for softening of zone-boundary magnons and for the Landau damping of magnons in the Stoner continuum arising at low frequencies due to zero-point effects. Coupling of the Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid fluids yields conventional long wavelength magnons damped due to their coupling with longitudinal spin fluctuations.

Determination of Transverse Density Structuring from Propagating MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere
We present a Bayesian seismology inversion technique for propagating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) transverse waves observed in coronal waveguides. The technique uses theoretical predictions for the spatial damping of propagating kink waves in transversely inhomogeneous coronal waveguides. It combines wave amplitude damping length scales along the waveguide with theoretical results for resonantly damped propagating kink waves to infer the plasma density variation across the oscillating structures. Provided the spatial dependence of the velocity amplitude along the propagation direction is measured and the existence of two different damping regimes is identified, the technique would enable us to fully constrain the transverse density structuring, providing estimates for the density contrast and its transverse inhomogeneity length scale.

Optimal decay rate of the bipolar Euler-Poisson system with damping in $\mathbb{R}^3$
By rewriting a bipolar Euler-Poisson equations with damping into an Euler equation with damping coupled with an Euler-Poisson equation with damping, and using a new spectral analysis, we obtain the optimal decay results of the solutions in $L^2$-norm, which improve theose in \cite{Li3, Wu3}. More precisely, the velocities $u_1,u_2$ decay at the $L^2-$rate $(1+t)^{-{5}{4}}$, which is faster than the normal $L^2-$rate $(1+t)^{-{3}{4}}$ for the Heat equation and the Navier-Stokes equations. In addition, the disparity of two densities $\rho_1-\rho_2$ and the disparity of two velocities $u_1-u_2$ decay at the $L^2$-rate $(1+t)^{-2}$.

Symmetry considerations on radiation damping
It is well known that a direct Lagrangian description of radiation damping is still missing. In this paper we will use a specific approach of this problem which is the standard way to treat the radiation damping problem. The objectives here are to construct: a N=2 supersymmetric extension for the model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with electric and magnetic interactions; a dualization analysis of the original action; the supercharge algebra and the total Hamiltonian for the system.

Damping of a nanocantilever by paramagnetic spins
We compute damping of mechanical oscillations of a cantilever that contains flipping paramagnetic spins. This kind of damping is mandated by the dynamics of the total angular momentum, spin + mechanical. Rigorous expression for the damping rate is derived in terms of measurable parameters. The effect of spins on the quality factor of the cantilever can be significant in cantilevers of small length that have large concentration of paramagnetic spins of atomic and/or nuclear origin.

Long-time behavior of solutions of a BBM equation with generalized damping
We study the long-time behavior of the solution of a damped BBM equation $u_t + u_x - u_{xxt} + uu_x + \mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u) = 0$. The proposed dampings $\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}$ generalize standards ones, as parabolic ($\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)=-\Delta u$) or weak damping ($\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)=\gamma u$) and allows us to consider a greater range. After establish the local well-posedness in the energy space, we investigate some numerical properties.

A $N=2$ supersymmetric extension for the model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with electric and magnetic interactions was obtained. The entire supercharge algebra and the total Hamiltonian for the system were analyzed. Finally, noncommutativity features were introduced and its consequences were explored..

Renormalized solutions to the continuity equation with an integrable damping term
We consider the continuity equation with a nonsmooth vector field and a damping term. In their fundamental paper, DiPerna and Lions proved that, when the damping term is bounded in space and time, the equation is well posed in the class of distributional solutions and the solution is transported by suitable characteristics of the vector field. In this paper, we prove existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions in the case of an integrable damping term, employing a new logarithmic estimate inspired by analogous ideas of Ambrosio, Lecumberry, and Maniglia, Crippa and De Lellis in the Lagrangian case.

Landau Damping in a Mixture of Bose and Fermi Superfluids
We study the Landau damping in Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture at finite temperature. We find that at low temperature, the Landau damping rate will be exponentially suppressed at both the BCS side and the BEC side of Fermi superfluid. The momentum dependence of the damping rate is obtained, and it is quite different from the BCS side to the BEC side. The relations between our result and collective mode experiment in the recently realized Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture are also discussed.

Applying a formula for generator redispatch to damp interarea oscillations using synchrophasors
If an interarea oscillatory mode has insufficient damping, generator redispatch can be used to improve its damping. We explain and apply a new analytic formula for the modal sensitivity to rank the best pairs of generators to redispatch. The formula requires some dynamic power system data and we show how to obtain that data from synchrophasor measurements. The application of the formula to damp interarea modes is explained and illustrated with interarea modes of the New England 10-machine power system.

Codeword Stabilized Quantum Codes for Asymmetric Channels
We discuss a method to adapt the codeword stabilized (CWS) quantum code framework to the problem of finding asymmetric quantum codes. We focus on the corresponding Pauli error models for amplitude damping noise and phase damping noise. In particular, we look at codes for Pauli error models that correct one or two amplitude damping errors. Applying local Clifford operations on graph states, we are able to exhaustively search for all possible codes up to length $9$. With a similar method, we also look at codes for the Pauli error model that detect a single amplitude error and detect multiple phase damping errors. Many new codes with good parameters are found, including nonadditive codes and degenerate codes.

On Boundary Damped Inhomogeneous Timoshenko Beams and Related Problems
We consider the model equations for the Timoshenko beam as a first order system in the framework of evolutionary equations. The focus is on boundary damping, which is implemented as a dynamic boundary condition. A change of material laws allows to include a large class of cases of boundary damping. By choosing a particular material law, it is shown that the first order approach to Sturm-Liouville problems with boundary damping is also covered.

Diffusion phenomena for the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain. We prove that when the damping is effective, the solution is approximated by that of the corresponding heat equation as time tends to infinity. Our proof is based on semigroup estimates for the corresponding heat equation and weighted energy estimates for the damped wave equation. The optimality of the decay late for solutions is also established.

Robust quantum state recovery from amplitude damping within a mixed states framework
Due to the interaction with the environment, a quantum state is subjected to decoherence which becomes one of the biggest problems for practical quantum computation. Amplitude damping is one of the most important decoherence processes. Here, we show that general two-qubit mixed states undergoing an amplitude damping can be almost completely restored using a reversal procedure. This reversal procedure through CNOT and Hadamard gates, could also protect the entanglement of two-qubit mixed states, when it undergoes general amplitude damping. Moreover, in the presence of uncertainty in the underlying system, we propose a robust recovering method with optimal characteristics of the problem.

Large time behaivor of global solutions to nonlinear wave equations with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear wave equation with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms. As is pointed out by [8], in this combination, the frictional damping term is dominant for the viscoelastic one for the global dynamics of the linear equation. In this note we observe that if the initial data is small, the frictional damping term is again dominant even in the nonlinear equation case. In other words, our main result is diffusion phenomena: the solution is approximated by the heat kernel with a suitable constant. Our proof is based on several estimates for the corresponding linear equations.

Protecting and enhancing spin squeezing under decoherence using weak measurement
We propose an efficient method to protect spin squeezing under the action of amplitude-damping, depolarizing and phase-damping channels based on measurement reversal from weak measurement, and consider an ensemble of N independent spin-1/2 particles with exchange symmetry. We find that spin squeezing can be enhanced greatly under three different decoherence channels and spin-squeezing sudden death (SSSD) can be avoided undergoing amplitude damping and phase-damping channels.
