Exponential decay for solutions to semilinear damped wave equation
This paper is concerned with decay estimate of solutions to the semilinear wave equation with strong damping in a bounded domain. Introducing an appropriate Lyaponuv function, we prove that when the damping is linear, we can find initial data, for which the solution decays exponentially. This result improves an early one in an article of Gazzola and Squassina.

Difference between penetration and damping lengths in photonic crystal mirrors
Different mirror geometries in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs are studied with fully-vectorial calculations. We compare their optical properties and, in particular, we show that, for heterostructure mirrors, the penetration length associated with the delay induced by distributed reflection is not correlated to the characteristic damping length of the electromagnetic energy distribution in the mirror. This unexpected result evidences that the usual trade-off between short damping lengths and large penetration lengths that is classically encountered in distributed Bragg reflectors can be overcome with carefully designed photonic crystal structures.

Exponential Decay Rates for the Damped Korteweg-de Vries Type Equation
The exponential decay rate of $L^2-$norm related to the Korteweg-de Vries equation with localized damping posed on whole real line will be established. In addition, by using classical arguments we determine the $H^1-$norm of the solution associated to Korteweg-de Vries equation with damping in whole domain, can not have a decay property for an arbitrary initial data.

Damping and decoherence of a nanomechanical resonator due to a few two level systems
We consider a quantum model of a nanomechanical flexing beam resonator interacting with a bath comprising a few damped tunneling two level systems (TLS's). In contrast with a resonator interacting bilinearly with an ohmic free oscillator bath (modeling clamping loss, for example), the mechanical resonator damping is amplitude dependent, while the decoherence of quantum superpositions of mechanical position states depends only weakly on their spatial separation.

High performance single-error-correcting quantum codes for amplitude damping
We construct families of high performance quantum amplitude damping codes. All of our codes are nonadditive and most modestly outperform the best possible additive codes in terms of encoded dimension. One family is built from nonlinear error-correcting codes for classical asymmetric channels, with which we systematically construct quantum amplitude damping codes with parameters better than any prior construction known for any block length n > 7 except n=2^r-1. We generalize this construction to employ classical codes over GF(3) with which we numerically obtain better performing codes up to length 14. Because the resulting codes are of the codeword stabilized (CWS) type, easy encoding and decoding circuits are available.

Suppression of Landau damping via electron band gap
The pondermotive potential in the X-ray Raman compression can generate an electron band gap which suppresses the Landau damping. The regime is identified where a Langmuir wave can be driven without damping in the stimulated Raman compression. It is shown that the partial wave breaking and the frequency detuning due to the trapped particles would be greatly reduced.

Rabi type oscillations in damped single 2D-quantum dot
We present a quantized model of harmonically confined dot atom with inherent damping in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The model leads to a non hermitian Hamiltonian in real coordinate. We have analytically studied the effects that damping has on the Rabi type oscillations of the system. The model explains the decoherence of Rabi oscillation in a Josephson Junction.

Toward a dynamical shift condition for unequal mass black hole binary simulations
Moving puncture simulations of black hole binaries rely on a specific gauge choice that leads to approximately stationary coordinates near each black hole. Part of the shift condition is a damping parameter, which has to be properly chosen for stable evolutions. However, a constant damping parameter does not account for the difference in mass in unequal mass binaries. We introduce a position dependent shift damping that addresses this problem. Although the coordinates change, the changes in the extracted gravitational waves are small.

Damping of Nanomechanical Resonators
We study the transverse oscillatory modes of nanomechanical silicon nitride strings under high tensile stress as a function of geometry and mode index m <= 9. Reproducing all observed resonance frequencies with classical elastic theory we extract the relevant elastic constants. Based on the oscillatory local strain we successfully predict the observed mode-dependent damping with a single frequency independent fit parameter. Our model clarifies the role of tensile stress on damping and hints at the underlying microscopic mechanisms.

Global attractors for strongly damped wave equations with displacement dependent damping and nonlinear source term of critical exponent
In this paper the long time behaviour of the solutions of 3-D strongly damped wave equation is studied. It is shown that the semigroup generated by this equation possesses a global attractor in H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)\times L_{2}(\Omega) and then it is proved that this global attractor is a bounded subset of H^{2}(\Omega)\times H^{2}(\Omega) and also a global attractor in H^{2}(\Omega)\cap H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)\times H_{0}^{1}(\Omega).

Entanglement properties of optical coherent states under amplitude damping
Through concurrence, we characterize the entanglement properties of optical coherent-state qubits subject to an amplitude damping channel. We investigate the distillation capabilities of known error correcting codes and obtain upper bounds on the entanglement depending on the non-orthogonality of the coherent states and the channel damping parameter. This work provides a first, full quantitative analysis of these photon-loss codes which are naturally reminiscent of the standard qubit codes against Pauli errors.

Nonclassical phase-space trajectories for the damped harmonic quantum oscillator
The phase-space path-integral approach to the damped harmonic oscillator is analyzed beyond the Markovian approximation. It is found that pairs of nonclassical trajectories contribute to the path-integral representation of the Wigner propagating function. Due to the linearity of the problem, the sum coordinate of a pair still satisfies the classical equation of motion. Furthermore, it is shown that the broadening of the Wigner propagating function of the damped oscillator arises due to the time-nonlocal interaction mediated by the heat bath.

Self frequency-locking of a chain of oscillators
The paper studies the vibrational modes of a slightly damped uniform chain, with n masses coupled by elastic forces. It will be shown that, for certain lengths of the chain, that is for certain values of n, the damping of one of the masses at a specific position in the chain is able to constrain the vibration of the system to oscillate at a specific frequency. The damped mass turns out to be a node of the chain, subdividing it in two parts. This node can be considered as the synchronization element of the two subchains. As a consequence the oscillating system of n-masses is self-locking to the synchronized frequency of its subchains.

First principles quasiparticle damping rates in bulk lead
First principles calculations of the damping rates (inverse inelastic lifetimes) of low energy quasiparticles in bulk Pb are presented. Damping rates are obtained both for excited electrons and holes with energies up to 8 eV on a set of k vectors throughout the Brillouin zone (BZ). Strong localization effects in the calculated lifetimes are found. Averaged over the BZ inelastic lifetimes versus quasiparticle energy are reported as well. In addition, the effect of the spin-orbit induced splitting in the band structure on the calculated lifetimes in Pb is investigated.

Single File Diffusion of particles with long ranged interactions: damping and finite size effects
We study the Single File Diffusion (SFD) of a cyclic chain of particles that cannot cross each other, in a thermal bath, with long ranged interactions, and arbitrary damping. We present simulations that exhibit new behaviors specifically associated to systems of small number of particles and to small damping. In order to understand those results, we present an original analysis based on the decomposition of the particles motion in the normal modes of the chain. Our model explains all dynamic regimes observed in our simulations, and provides convincing estimates of the crossover times between those regimes.

Spin Damping Monopole
We present theoretical evidence that a magnetic monopole emerges in dynamic magnetic systems in the presence of the spin-orbit interaction. The monopole field is expressed in terms of spin damping associated with magnetization dynamics. We demonstrate that the observation of this spin damping monopole is accomplished electrically using Ampere's law for monopole current. Our discovery suggests the integration of monopoles into electronics, namely, monopolotronics.

Long time dynamics for forced and weakly damped KdV on the torus
The forced and weakly damped Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with periodic boundary conditions is considered. Starting from $L^2$ and mean-zero initial data we prove that the solution decomposes into two parts; a linear one which decays to zero as time goes to infinity and a nonlinear one which always belongs to a smoother space. As a corollary we prove that all solutions are attracted by a ball in $H^s$, $s\in(0,1)$, whose radius depends only on $s$, the $L^2$ norm of the forcing term and the damping parameter. This gives a new proof for the existence of a smooth global attractor and provides quantitative information on the size of the attractor set in $H^s$.

Acceleration Control in Nonlinear Vibrating Systems based on Damped Least Squares
A discrete time control algorithm using the damped least squares is introduced for acceleration and energy exchange controls in nonlinear vibrating systems. It is shown that the damping constant of least squares and sampling time step of the controller must be inversely related to insure that vanishing the time step has little effect on the results. The algorithm is illustrated on two linearly coupled Duffing oscillators near the 1:1 internal resonance. In particular, it is shown that varying the dissipation ratio of one of the two oscillators can significantly suppress the nonlinear beat phenomenon.

Normal Mode Expansion of Damped Coupled Oscillators in 3 dimensions
In this paper, I aim to study free oscillations of a system of oscillators in more than one dimensions in the absence of damping. The basic approach lies in decoupling the motion in the individual perpendicular directions. Once the equations are decoupled, the existent techniques of Normal mode expansion for 1-dimensional oscillators are used to solve for the equations of motion. I also study the motion of a driven system of oscillators in higher dimensions in the presence of a velocity dependent damping force.

Distinguishing mesoscopic quantum superpositions from statistical mixtures in periodically shaken double wells
For Bose-Einstein condensates in double wells, N-particle Rabi-like oscillations often seem to be damped. Far from being a decoherence effect, the apparent damping can indicate the emergence of quantum superpositions in the many-particle quantum dynamics. However, in an experiment it would be difficult to distinguish the apparent damping from decoherence effects. The present paper suggests using controlled periodic shaking to quasi-instantaneously switch the sign of an effective Hamiltonian, thus implementing an `echo' technique which distinguishes quantum superpositions from statistical mixtures. The scheme for the effective time-reversal is tested by numerically solving the time-dependent N-particle Schrodinger equation.

Wave Propagation And Landau-Type Damping In Liquids
Intermolecular forces are modeled by means of a modified Lennard-Jones potential, introducing a distance of minimum approach, and the effect of intermolecular interactions is accounted for with a self consistent field of the Vlasov type. A Vlasov equation is then written and used to investigate the propagation of perturbations in a liquid. A dispersion relation is obtained and an effect of damping, analogous to what is known in plasmas as "Landau damping", is found to take place.

Radiation Damping for Speeding-up NMR Applications
We demonstrate theoretically and numerically how to control the NMR relaxation rate after application of the standard spin echo technique. Using radiation damping, we return the nuclear magnetization to its equilibrium state during a time interval that is negligible compared to the relaxation time. We obtain an estimate for optimal radiation damping which is consistent with our numerical simulations.

Perturbed damped pendulum: finding periodic solutions
Using the damped pendulum system we introduce the averaging method to study the periodic solutions of a dynamical system with small perturbation. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions with small amplitude of the non--linear perturbed damped pendulum. The averaging theory provides a useful means to study dynamical systems, accessible to Master and PhD students.

The role of damping for the driven anharmonic quantum oscillator
For the model of a linearly driven quantum anharmonic oscillator, the role of damping is investigated. We compare the position of the stable points in phase space obtained from a classical analysis to the result of a quantum mechanical analysis. The solution of the full master equation shows that the stable points behave qualitatively similar to the classical solution but with small modifications. Both the quantum effects and additional effects of temperature can be described by renormalizing the damping.

Creating and studying ion acoustic waves in ultracold neutral plasmas
We excite ion acoustic waves in ultracold neutral plasmas by imprinting density modulations during plasma creation. Laser-induced fluorescence is used to observe the density and velocity perturbations created by the waves. The effect of expansion of the plasma on the evolution of the wave amplitude is described by treating the wave action as an adiabatic invariant. After accounting for this effect, we determine that the waves are weakly damped, but the damping is significantly faster than expected for Landau damping.

Magnetic damping of a carbon nanotube NEMS resonator
A suspended, doubly clamped single wall carbon nanotube is characterized at cryogenic temperatures. We observe specific switching effects in dc-current spectroscopy of the embedded quantum dot. These have been identified previously as nano-electromechanical self-excitation of the system, where positive feedback from single electron tunneling drives mechanical motion. A magnetic field suppresses this effect, by providing an additional damping mechanism. This is modeled by eddy current damping, and confirmed by measuring the resonance quality factor of the rf-driven nano-electromechanical resonator in an increasing magnetic field.

Random Symmetry Breaking and Freezing in Chaotic Networks
Parameter space of a driven damped oscillator in a double well potential presents either a chaotic trajectory with sign oscillating amplitude or a non-chaotic trajectory with a fixed sign amplitude. A network of such delay coupled damped oscillators is shown to present chaotic dynamics while the amplitude sign of each damped oscillator is randomly frozen. This phenomenon of random broken global symmetry of the network simultaneously with random freezing of each degree of freedom is accompanied by the existence of exponentially many randomly frozen chaotic attractors with the ize of the network. Results are exemplified by a network of modified Duffing oscillators with infinite ange pseudo-inverse delayed interactions.

Nonlinear Damping in Graphene Resonators
Based on a continuum mechanical model for single-layer graphene we propose and analyze a microscopic mechanism for dissipation in nanoelectromechanical graphene resonators. We find that coupling between flexural modes and in-plane phonons leads to linear and nonlinear damping of out-of-plane vibrations. By tuning external parameters such as bias and ac voltages, one can cross over from a linear to a nonlinear-damping dominated regime. We discuss the behavior of the effective quality factor in this context.

Heavy quark damping rate in hot viscous QCD plasma
We derive an expression for the heavy quark damping rate in hot quark gluon plasma in presence of flow. Here all the bath particles here are out of equilibrium due to the existence of non-zero velocity gradient. The magnetic sector shows similar infrared divergences even after hard thermal loop corrections as one encounters in case of non-viscous plasma. We estimate the first order correction in ($\eta/s$) for heavy quark damping rate due to the non-zero viscosity of the QCD plasma.

Quantum capacity of an amplitude-damping channel with memory
We calculate the quantum capacity of an amplitude-damping channel with time correlated Markov noise, for two channel uses. Our results show that memory of the channel increases it's ability to transmit quantum information significantly. We analyze and compare our findings with earlier numerical results on amplitude-damping channel with memory. An upper bound on the amount of quantum information transmitted over the channel in presence of memory, for an arbitrary number of channel uses is also presented.

Protecting quantum entanglement from amplitude damping
Quantum entanglement is a critical resource for quantum information and quantum computation. However, entanglement of a quantum system is subjected to change due to the interaction with the environment. One typical result of the interaction is the amplitude damping that usually results in the reduction of the entanglement. Here we propose a protocol to protect quantum entanglement from the amplitude damping by applying Hadamard and CNOT gates. As opposed to some recently studied methods, the scheme presented here does not require weak measurement in the reversal process, leading to a faster recovery of entanglement. We propose a possible experimental implementation based on linear optical system.

Exact solutions for discrete breathers in forced-damped chain
Exact solutions for symmetric discrete breathers (DBs) are obtained in forced-damped linear chain with on-site vibro-impact constraints. The damping is related to inelastic impacts; the forcing may be chosen from broad class of periodic antisymmetric functions. Global conditions for existence and stability of the DB are established. Some unusual phenomena, like non-monotonous dependence of the stability boundary on the forcing amplitude, are revealed analytically for the full system and illustrated numerically for small periodic lattices.

How long-range interactions tune the damping in compact stars
Long-range interactions lead to non-Fermi liquid effects in dense matter. We show that, in contrast to other material properties, their effect on the bulk viscosity of quark matter is significant since they shift its resonant maximum and can thereby change the viscosity by many orders of magnitude. This is of importance for the damping of oscillations of compact stars, like in particular unstable r-modes, and the quest to detect signatures of deconfined matter in astrophysical observations. We find that, in contrast to neutron stars with standard damping mechanisms, compact stars that contain ungapped quark matter are consistent with the observed data on low mass x-ray binaries.

Impact of gluon damping on heavy-quark quenching
In this conference contribution, we discuss the influence of gluon-bremsstrahlung damping in hot, absorptive QCD matter on the heavy-quark radiation spectra. Within our Monte-Carlo implementation for the description of the heavy-quark in-medium propagation we demonstrate that as a consequence of gluon damping the quenching of heavy quarks becomes significantly affected at higher transverse momenta.

On nonlinear Schrodinger type equations with nonlinear damping
We consider equations of nonlinear Schrodinger type augmented by nonlinear damping terms. We show that nonlinear damping prevents finite time blow-up in several situations, which we describe. We also prove that the presence of a quadratic confinement in all spatial directions drives the solution of our model to zero for large time. In the case without external potential we prove that the solution may not go to zero for large time due to (non-trivial) scattering.

Eigenvalue asymptotics for the damped wave equation on metric graphs
We consider the linear damped wave equation on finite metric graphs and analyse its spectral properties with an emphasis on the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues. In the case of equilateral graphs and standard coupling conditions we show that there is only a finite number of high-frequency abscissas, whose location is solely determined by the averages of the damping terms on each edge. We further describe some of the possible behaviour when the edge lengths are no longer necessarily equal but remain commensurate.

Hadamard well-posedness for a hyperbolic equation of viscoelasticity with supercritical sources and damping
Presented here is a study of a viscoelastic wave equation with supercritical source and damping terms. We employ the theory of monotone operators and nonlinear semigroups, combined with energy methods to establish the existence of a unique local weak solution. In addition, it is shown that the solution depends continuously on the initial data and is global provided the damping dominates the source in an appropriate sense.

Signatures of two-level defects in the temperature-dependent damping of nanomechanical silicon nitride resonators
The damping rates of high quality factor nanomechanical resonators are well beyond intrinsic limits. Here, we explore the underlying microscopic loss mechanisms by investigating the temperature-dependent damping of the fundamental and third harmonic transverse flexural mode of a doubly clamped silicon nitride string. It exhibits characteristic maxima reminiscent of two-level defects typical for amorphous materials. Coupling to those defects relaxes the momentum selection rules, allowing energy transfer from discrete long wavelength resonator modes to the high frequency phonon environment.

Quenched decoherence in qubit dynamics due to strong amplitude-damping noise
We study non-perturbatively the time evolution of a qubit subject to amplitude-damping noise. We show that at strong coupling the qubit decoherence can be quenched owing to large environment feedbacks, such that the qubit can evolve coherently even in the long-time limit. As an application, we show that for a quantum channel that consists of two independent qubits subject to uncorrelated local amplitude-damping noises, it can maintain at strong coupling finite entanglement and better than classical teleportation fidelity at long times.

Cyclotron dynamics of interacting bosons in artificial magnetic fields
We study theoretically quantum dynamics of interacting bosons in artificial magnetic fields as engineered in recent ultracold atomic experiments, where quantum cyclotron orbital motion has been observed. With exact numerical simulations and perturbative analyses, we find that interactions induce damping in the cyclotron motion. The damping time is found to be dependent on interaction and tunneling strengths monotonically, while its dependence on magnetic flux is non-monotonic. Sufficiently strong interactions would render bosons dynamically localized inhibiting the cyclotron motion. The damping predicted by us can be construed as an interaction-induced quantum decoherence of the cyclotron motion.

Damping in two component Bose gas
We investigate the Landau and Baliaev damping of the collective modes in a two-component Bose gas using the mean-field approximation. We show that due to the two body atom-atom interaction, oscillations of each component is coupled to the thermal excitations of the other component which gives rise to creation or destruction of the elementary excitations that can take place in the two separate components.In addition we find that the damping is also enhanced due to inter-component coupling.

The time singular limit for a fourth-order damped wave equation for MEMS
We consider a free boundary problem modeling electrostatic microelectromechanical systems. The model consists of a fourth-order damped wave equation for the elastic plate displacement which is coupled to an elliptic equation for the electrostatic potential. We first review some recent results on existence and non-existence of steady-states as well as on local and global well-posedness of the dynamical problem, the main focus being on the possible touchdown behavior of the elastic plate. We then investigate the behavior of the solutions in the time singular limit when the ratio between inertial and damping effects tends to zero.

A note on a strongly damped wave equation with fast growing nonlinearities
A strongly damped wave equation including the displacement depending nonlinear damping term and nonlinear interaction function is considered. The main aim of the note is to show that under the standard dissipativity restrictions on the nonlinearities involved the initial boundary value problem for the considered equation is globally well-posed in the class of sufficiently regular solutions and the semigroup generated by the problem possesses a global attractor in the corresponding phase space. These results are obtained for the nonlinearities of an arbitrary polynomial growth and without the assumption that the considered problem has a global Lyapunov function.

Optimal Estimation of a Classical Force with a Damped Oscillator in the non-Markovian Bath
We solve the optimal quantum limit of probing a classical force exactly by a damped oscillator initially prepared in the factorized squeezed state. The memory effects of the thermal bath on the oscillator evolution are investigated. We show that the optimal force sensitivity obtained by the quantum estimation theory approaches to zero for the non-Markovian bath, whereas approaches to a finite non-zero value for the Markovian bath as the energy of the damped oscillator goes to infinity.

Characterization and suppression techniques for degree of radiation damping in inversion recovery measurements
Radiation damping (RD) has been shown to affect T1 measurement in inversion recovery experiments. In this work, we demonstrate that the extent of RD depends upon the T1 of the sample. RD difference spectroscopy (RADDSY) is used to characterize the severity of RD, while gradient inversion recovery (GIR) is used for RD suppression in T1 measurements. At 9.4 T, for the radiation damping characteristic time (Trd) of 50 ms, these investigations show non-negligible RD effects for T1 values greater than Trd, with severe distortions for T1 longer than about 150 ms, showing reasonable agreement with the predicted Trd. We also report a discrepancy between published expressions for the characteristic RD time.

Spin-electron acoustic waves: The Landau damping and ion contribution in the spectrum
Separated spin-up and spin-down quantum kinetics is derived for more detailed research of the spin-electron acoustic waves. Kinetic theory allows to obtain spectrum of the spin-electron acoustic waves including effects of occupation of quantum states more accurately than quantum hydrodynamics. We apply quantum kinetic to calculate the Landau damping of the spin-electron acoustic waves. We have considered contribution of ions dynamics in the spin-electron acoustic wave spectrum. We obtain contribution of ions in the Landau damping in temperature regime of classic ions. Kinetic analysis for ion-acoustic, zero sound, and Langmuir waves at separated spin-up and spin-down electron dynamics is presented as well.

Ultimate limit of field confinement by surface plasmon polaritons
We show that electric field confinement in surface plasmon polaritons propagating at the metal/dielectric interfaces enhances the loss due to Landau damping and which effectively limits the degree of confinement itself. We prove that Landau damping and associated with it surface collision damping follow directly from Lindhard formula for the dielectric constant of free electron gas Furthermore, we demonstrate that even if all the conventional loss mechanisms, caused by phonons, electron-electron, and interface roughness scattering, were eliminated, the maximum attainable degree of confinement and the loss accompanying it would not change significantly compared to the best existing plasmonic materials, such as silver.

Quasiparticle Damping of Surface Waves in Superfluid $^3$He and $^4$He
Oscillations on free surface of superfluids at the inviscid limit are damped by quasiparticle scattering. We have studied this effect in both superfluids $^3$He and $^4$He deep below the respective critical temperatures. Surface oscillators offer several benefits over immersed mechanical oscillators traditionally used for similar purposes. Damping is modeled as specular scattering of ballistic quasiparticles from the moving free surface. The model is in reasonable agreement with our measurements for superfluid $^4$He but significant deviation is found for $^3$He.

Long time behavior for a semilinear hyperbolic equation with asymtotically vanishing damping term and convex potential
We investigate the asymptotic behavior, as t goes to infinity, for a semilinear hyperbolic equation with asymptotically smal dissipation and convex potential. We prove that if the damping term behaves like K/t^\alpha for t large enough, k>0 and 0</alpha<1 then every global solution converges weakly to an equilibrium point. This result is a positive answer to a question left open in the paper [A. Cabot and P. Frankel, Asymptotics for some semilinear hyperbolic equation with non-autonomous damping. J. Differential Equations 252 (2012) 294-322.]

Stabilization of the nonlinear damped wave equation via linear weak observability
We consider the problem of energy decay rates for nonlinearly damped abstract infinite dimensional systems. We prove sharp, simple and quasi-optimal energy decay rates through an indirect method, namely a weak observability estimate for the corresponding undamped system. One of the main advantage of these results is that they allow to combine the optimal-weight convexity method of Alabau-Boussouira and a methodology of Ammari-Tucsnak for weak stabilization by observability. Our results extend to nonlinearly damped systems, those of Ammari and Tucsnak. At the end, we give an appendix on the weak stabilization of linear evolution systems.

On the the wave equation with hyperbolic dynamical boundary conditions, interior and boundary damping and source
The aim of the paper is to study local Hadamard well-posedness for wave equation with an hyperbolic dynamical boundary condition, internal and/or boundary damping and sources for initial data in the natural energy space. Moreover the regularity of solutions is studied. Finally a dynamical system is generated when sources are at most linear at infinity, or they are dominated by the damping terms.

Tautochrone in the damped cycloidal pendulum
The tautochrone on a cycloid curve is usually considered without drag force. In this work, we investigate the motion of a damped cycloidal pendulum under presence of a drag force. Using the Lagrange formulation, and considering linear dependence with velocity for damping force, we found the dynamics of the system to remain tautochrone. This dictates the possibility for studying the tautochrone experimentally, e.g. the cycloidal pendulum in water or oil.

Impact of surface collisions on enhancement and quenching of the luminescence near the metal nanoparticles
The fact that surface-induced damping rate of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in metal nanoparticles increases with the decrease of particle size is well known. We show that this rate also increases with the degree of the mode confinement, hence damping of the higher order nonradiative SPP modes in spherical particles is greatly enhanced relative to damping of the fundamental (dipole) SPP mode. Since higher order modes are the ones responsible for quenching of luminescence in the vicinity of metal surfaces, the degree of quenching increases resulting in a substantial decrease in the amount of attainable enhancement of the luminescence

On numerical Landau damping for splitting methods applied to the Vlasov-HMF model
We consider time discretizations of the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) equation based on splitting methods between the linear and non-linear parts. We consider solutions starting in a small Sobolev neighborhood of a spatially homogeneous state satisfying a linearized stability criterion (Penrose criterion). We prove that the numerical solutions exhibit a scattering behavior to a modified state, which implies a nonlinear Landau damping effect with polynomial rate of damping. Moreover, we prove that the modified state is close to the continuous one and provide error estimates with respect to the time stepsize.

Asymptotic decomposition for nonlinear damped Klein-Gordon equations
In this paper, we proved that if the solution to damped focusing Klein-Gordon equations is global forward in time, then it will decouple into a finite number of equilibrium points with different shifts from the origin. The core ingredient of our proof is the existence of the "concentration-compact attractor" which yields a finite number of profiles. Using damping effect, we can prove all the profiles are equilibrium points.

Contact Stiffness and Damping of Liquid Films in Dynamic Atomic Force Microscopy
Small-amplitude dynamic atomic force microscopy (dynamic-AFM) in a simple nonpolar liquid was studied through molecular dynamics simulations. We find that within linear dynamics regime, the contact stiffness and damping of the confined film exhibit the similar solvation force oscillations, and they are generally out-of-phase. For the solidified film with integer monolayer thickness, further compression of the film before layering transition leads to higher stiffness and lower damping. We find that molecular diffusion in the solidified film was nevertheless enhanced due to the mechanical excitation of AFM tip.

Nonlinear Radiation Damping of Nuclear Spin Waves and Magnetoelastic Waves in Antiferromagnets
Parallel pumping of nuclear spin waves in antiferromagnetic CsMnF3 at liquid helium temperatures and magnetoelastic waves in antiferromagnetic FeBO3 at liquid nitrogen temperature in a helical resonator was studied. It was found that the absorbed microwave power is approximately equal to the irradiated power from the sample and that the main restriction mechanism of absortption in both cases is defined by the nonlinear radiation damping predicted about two decades ago. We believe that the nonlinear radiation damping is a common feature of parallel pumping technique of all normal magnetic excitations and it can be detected by purposeful experiments.

Damped vacuum states of light
We consider one-dimensional propagation of quantum light in the presence of a block of material, with a full account of dispersion and absorption. The electromagnetic zero-point energy for some frequencies is damped (suppressed) by the block below the free-space value, while for other frequencies it is increased. We also calculate the regularized (Casimir) zero-point energy at each frequency and find that it too is damped below the free-space value (zero) for some frequencies. The total Casimir energy is positive.

Parameter Estimation of Gaussian-Damped Sinusoids from a Geometric Perspective
The five parameter gaussian damped sinusoid equation is a reasonable model for betatron motion with chromatic decoherence of the proton bunch centroid signal in the ring at the Spallation Neutron Source. A geometric method for efficiently fitting this equation to the turn by turn signals to extract the betatron tune and damping constant will be presented. This method separates the parameters into global and local parameters and allows the use of vector arithmetic to eliminate the local parameters from the parameter search space. Furthermore, this method is easily generalized to reduce the parameter search space for a larger class of problems.

Landau damping in finite regularity for unconfined systems with screened interactions
We prove Landau damping for the collisionless Vlasov equation with a class of $L^1$ interaction potentials (including the physical case of screened Coulomb interactions) on $\mathbb R^3_x \times \mathbb R^3_v$ for localized disturbances of an infinite, homogeneous background. Unlike the confined case $\mathbb T^3_x \times \mathbb R_v^3$, results are obtained for initial data in Sobolev spaces (as well as Gevrey and analytic classes). For spatial frequencies bounded away from zero, the Landau damping of the density is similar to the confined case. The finite regularity is possible due to an additional dispersive mechanism available on $\mathbb R_x^3$ which reduces the strength of the plasma echo resonance.

Trigonometric Splines for Oscillator Simulation
We investigate the effects of numerical damping for oscillator simulation with spline methods. Numerical damping results in an artificial loss of energy and leads therefore to unreliable results in the simulation of autonomous systems, as e.g.\ oscillators. We show that the negative effects of numerical damping can be eliminated by the use of trigonometric splines. This will be in particular important for spline based adaptive methods.

Optimal decay rate for the wave equation on a square with constant damping on a strip
We consider the damped wave equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the unit square. We assume the damping to be a characteristic function of a strip. We prove the exact $t^{-4/3}$-decay rate for the energy of classical solutions. This answers a question of Anantharaman and L\'eautaud (2014).

Stochastic 3D Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear damping: martingale solution, strong solution and small time large deviation principles
In this paper, by using classical Faedo-Galerkin approximation and compactness method, the existence of martingale solutions for the stochastic 3D Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear damping is obtained. The existence and uniqueness of strong solution are proved for $\beta > 3$ with any $\alpha>0$ and $\alpha \geq \frac12$ as $\beta = 3$. Meanwhile, a small time large deviation principle for the stochastic 3D Navier-Stokes equation with damping is proved for $\beta > 3$ with any $\alpha>0$ and $\alpha \geq \frac12$ as $\beta = 3$.

Estimates of lifespan and blow-up rates for the wave equation with a time-dependent damping and a power-type nonlinearity
We study blow-up behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem of the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping. When the damping is effective, and the nonlinearity is subcritical, we show the blow-up rates and the sharp lifespan estimates of solutions. Upper estimates are proved by an ODE argument, and lower estimates are given by a method of scaling variables.

Numerical Convergence Rate for a Diffusive Limit of Hyperbolic Systems: p-System with Damping
This paper deals with diffusive limit of the p-system with damping and its approximation by an Asymptotic Preserving (AP) Finite Volume scheme. Provided the system is endowed with an entropy-entropy flux pair, we give the convergence rate of classical solutions of the p-system with damping towards the smooth solutions of the porous media equation using a relative entropy method. Adopting a semi-discrete scheme, we establish that the convergence rate is preserved by the approximated solutions. Several numerical experiments illustrate the relevance of this result.

Global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Euler equations with time-dependent damping
We study the isentropic Euler equations with time-dependent damping, given by $\frac{\mu}{(1+t)^\lambda}\rho u$. Here, $\lambda,\mu$ are two non-negative constants to describe the decay rate of damping with respect to time. We will investigate the global existence and asymptotic behavior of small data solutions to the Euler equations when $0<\lambda<1,0<\mu$ in multi-dimensions $n\geq 1$. The asymptotic behavior will coincide with the one that obtained by many authors in the case $\lambda=0$. We will also show that the solution can only decay polynomially in time while in the three dimensions, the vorticity will decay exponentially fast.

Emulated Inertia and Damping of Converter-Interfaced Power Source
Converter-interfaced power sources (CIPSs), like wind turbine and energy storage, can be switched to the inertia emulation mode when the detected frequency deviation exceeds a pre-designed threshold, i.e. dead band, to support the frequency response of a power grid. This letter proposes an approach to derive the emulated inertia and damping from a CIPS based on the linearized model of the CIPS and the power grid, where the grid is represented by an equivalent single machine. The emulated inertia and damping can be explicitly expressed in time and turn out to be time-dependent.

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process with Fluctuating Damping
This paper studies Langevin equation with random damping due to multiplicative noise and its solution. Two types of multiplicative noise, namely the dichotomous noise and fractional Gaussian noise are considered. Their solutions are obtained explicitly, with the expressions of the mean and covariance determined explicitly. Properties of the mean and covariance of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with random damping, in particular the asymptotic behavior, are studied. The effect of the multiplicative noise on the stability property of the resulting processes is investigated.

Symmetry group classification and optimal reduction of a class of damped Timoshenko beam system with a nonlinear rotational moment
We consider a nonlinear Timoshenko system of partial differential equations (PDEs) with a frictional damping term in rotation angle. The nonlinearity is due to the arbitrary dependence on the rotation moment. A Lie symmetry group classification of the arbitrary function of rotation moment is presented. An optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the nonlinear damped Timoshenko system is derived for all the non-linear cases. All possible invariant variables of the optimal systems for the three non-linear cases are presented. The corresponding reduced systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are also provided.

Landau damping in the multiscale Vlasov theory
Vlasov kinetic theory is extended by adopting an extra one particle distribution function as an additional state variable characterizing the micro-turbulence internal structure. The extended Vlasov equation keeps the reversibility, the Hamiltonian structure, and the entropy conservation of the original Vlasov equation. In the setting of the extended Vlasov theory we then argue that the Fokker-Planck type damping in the velocity dependence of the extra distribution function induces the Landau damping. The same type of extension is made also in the setting of fluid mechanics.

Energy decay and diffusion phenomenon for the asymptotically periodic damped wave equation
We prove local and global energy decay for the asymptotically periodic damped wave equation on the Euclidean space. Since the behavior of high frequencies is already mostly understood, this paper is mainly about the contribution of low frequencies. We show in particular that the damped wave behaves like a solution of a heat equation which depends on the H-limit of the metric and the mean value of the absorption index.

Linear inviscid damping and vorticity depletion for shear flows
In this paper, we prove the linear damping for the 2-D Euler equations around a class of shear flows under the assumption that the linearized operator has no embedding eigenvalues. For the symmetric flows, we obtain the explicit decay estimates of the velocity, which is the same as one for monotone shear flows. We confirm a new dynamical phenomena found by Bouchet and Morita: the depletion of the vorticity at the stationary streamlines, which could be viewed as a new mechanism leading to the damping for the base flows with stationary streamlines.

Diffusion phenomena for the wave equation with space-dependent damping term growing at infinity
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the wave equation with damping depending on the space variable and growing at the spatial infinity. We prove that the solution is approximated by that of the corresponding heat equation as time tends to infinity. The proof is based on semigroup estimates for the corresponding heat equation and weighted energy estimates for the damped wave equation. To construct a suitable weight function for the energy estimates, we study a certain elliptic problem.

Mixed finite elements for global tide models with nonlinear damping
We study mixed finite element methods for the rotating shallow water equations with linearized momentum terms but nonlinear drag. By means of an equivalent second-order formulation, we prove long-time stability of the system without energy accumulation. We also give rates of damping in unforced systems and various continuous dependence results on initial conditions and forcing terms. \emph{A priori} error estimates for the momentum and free surface elevation are given in $L^2$ as well as for the time derivative and divergence of the momentum. Numerical results confirm the theoretical results regarding both energy damping and convergence rates.

Stability of partially locked states in the Kuramoto model through Landau damping with Sobolev regularity
The Kuramoto model is a mean-field model for the synchronisation behaviour of oscillators, which exhibits Landau damping. In a recent work, the nonlinear stability of a class of spatially inhomogeneous stationary states was shown under the assumption of analytic regularity. This paper proves the nonlinear Landau damping under the assumption of Sobolev regularity. The weaker regularity required the construction of a different more robust bootstrap argument, which focuses on the nonlinear Volterra equation of the order parameter.

Global well-posedness for the semilinear wave equation with time dependent damping in the overdamping case
We study global existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with time-dependent damping and a power nonlinearity in the overdamping case. We prove the global well-posedness for small data in the energy space for the whole energy-subcritical case. This result implies that small data blow-up does not occur in the overdamping case, different from the other cases, i.e. effective or non-effective damping.

A note on the blowup of scale invariant damping wave equation with sub-Strauss exponent
We concern the blow up problem to the scale invariant damping wave equations with sub-Strauss exponent. This problem has been studied by Lai, Takamura and Wakasa (\cite{Lai17}) and Ikeda and Sobajima \cite{Ikedapre} recently. In present paper, we extend the blowup exponent from $p_F(n)\leq p<p_S(n+2\mu)$ to $1<p<p_S(n+\mu)$ without small restriction on $\mu$. Moreover, the upper bound of lifespan is derived with uniform estimate $T(\varepsilon)\leq C\varepsilon^{-2p(p-1)/\gamma(p,n+2\mu)}$. This result extends the blowup result of semilinear wave equation and shows the wave-like behavior of scale invariant damping wave equation's solution even with large $\mu>1$.

Suppression of Recurrence in the Hermite-Spectral Method for Transport Equations
We study the unphysical recurrence phenomenon arising in the numerical simulation of the transport equations using Hermite-spectral method. From a mathematical point of view, the suppression of this numerical artifact with filters is theoretically analyzed for two types of transport equations. It is rigorously proven that all the non-constant modes are damped exponentially by the filters in both models, and formally shown that the filter does not affect the damping rate of the electric energy in the linear Landau damping problem. Numerical tests are performed to show the effect of the filters.

Life-Span of Semilinear Wave Equations with Scale-invariant Damping: Critical Strauss Exponent Case
The blow up problem of the semilinear scale-invariant damping wave equation with critical Strauss type exponent is investigated. The life span is shown to be: $T(\varepsilon)\leq C\exp(\varepsilon^{-2p(p-1)})$ when $p=p_S(n+\mu)$ for $0<\mu<\frac{n^2+n+2}{n+2}$. This result completes our previous study \cite{Tu-Lin} on the sub-Strauss type exponent $p<p_S(n+\mu)$. Our novelty is to construct the suitable test function from the modified Bessel function. This approach might be also applied to the other type damping wave equations.

Spin-Noise and Damping in Individual Metallic Ferromagnetic Nanoparticles
We introduce a highly sensitive and relatively simple technique to observe magnetization motion in single Ni nanoparticles, based on charge sensing by electron tunneling at millikelvin temperature. Sequential electron tunneling via the nanoparticle drives nonequilibrium magnetization dynamics, which induces an effective charge noise that we measure in real time. In the free spin diffusion regime, where the electrons and magnetization are in detailed balance, we observe that magnetic damping time exhibits a peak with the magnetic field, with a record long damping time of $\simeq 10$~ms.

Graviton-mediated dark matter model explanation the DAMPE electron excess and search at $e^+e^-$ colliders
The very recent result of the DAMPE cosmic ray spectrum of electrons shows a narrow bump above the background at around 1.4 TeV. We attempt to explain the DAMPE electron excess in a simplified Kaluza-Klein graviton-mediated dark matter model, in which the graviton only interacts with leptons and dark matter. The related phenomenological discussions are given and this simplified graviton-mediated dark matter model has the potential to be cross-tested in future lepton collider experiments.

On nonlinear damped wave equations for positive operators. I. Discrete spectrum
In this paper we study a Cauchy problem for the nonlinear damped wave equations for a general positive operator with discrete spectrum. We derive the exponential in time decay of solutions to the linear problem with decay rate depending on the interplay between the bottom of the operator's spectrum and the mass term. Consequently, we prove global in time well-posedness results for semilinear and for more general nonlinear equations with small data. Examples are given for nonlinear damped wave equations for the harmonic oscillator, for the twisted Laplacian (Landau Hamiltonian), and for the Laplacians on compact manifolds.

Damped Newton's Method on Riemannian Manifolds
A damped Newton's method to find a singularity of a vector field in Riemannian setting is presented with global convergence study. It is ensured that the sequence generated by the proposed method reduces to a sequence generated by the Riemannian version of the classical Newton's method after a finite number of iterations, consequently its convergence rate is superlinear/quadratic. Moreover, numerical experiments illustrate that the damped Newton's method has better performance than Newton's method in number of iteration and computational time.

Asymptotic profile of solutions for strongly damped Klein-Gordon equations
We consider the Cauchy problem in the whole space for strongly damped Klein-Gordon equations. We derive asymptotic profles of solutions with weighted initial data by a simple method introduced by R. Ikehata. The obtained results show that the wave effect will be weak because of the mass term, especially in the low dimensional case (n = 1,2) as compared with the strongly damped wave equations without mass term (m = 0), so the most interesting topic in this paper is the n = 1,2 cases.

Damped second order flow applied to image denoising
In this paper, we introduce a new image denoising model: the damped flow (DF), which is a second order nonlinear evolution equation associated with a class of energy functionals of image. The existence, uniqueness and regularization property of DF are proven. For the numerical implementation, based on the St\"{o}rmer-Verlet method, a discrete damped flow, SV-DDF, is developed. The convergence of SV-DDF is studied as well. Several numerical experiments, as well as a comparison with other methods, are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the SV-DDF.

Cyclotron Damping along an Uniform Magnetic Field
We prove cyclotron damping for the collisionless Vlasov-Maxwell equations on $\mathbb{T}_{x}^{3}\times\mathbb{R}_{v}^{3}$ under the assumptions that the electric induction is zero and $(\mathcal{\mathbf{PSC}})$ holds. It is a crucial step to solve the stability problem of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. Our proof is based on a new dynamical system of the plasma particles, originating from Faraday Law of Electromagnetic induction and Lenz's Law. On the basis of it, we use the improved Newton iteration scheme to show the damping mechanism.

Radiation Damping of a Yang-Mills Particle Revisited
The problem of a color-charged point particle interacting with a four dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theory is revisited. The radiation damping is obtained inspired in the Dirac's computation. The difficulties in the non-abelian case were solved by using an ansatz for the Li\'enard-Wiechert potentials, already used in the literature for finding solutions to the Yang-Mills equations. Three non-trivial examples of radiation damping for the non-abelian particle are discussed in detail.

Enhancement of zonal flow damping due to resonant magnetic perturbations in the background of an equilibrium $E \times B$ sheared flow
Using a parametric interaction formalism, we show that the equilibrium sheared rotation can enhance the zonal flow damping effect found in Ref. [M. Leconte and P.H. Diamond, \emph{Phys. Plasmas} 19, 055903 (2012)]. This additional damping contribution is proportional to $(L_s/L_V)^2 \times \delta B_r^2 / B^2$, where $L_s/L_V$ is the ratio of magnetic shear length to the scale-length of equilibrium $E \times B$ flow shear, and $\delta B_r / B$ is the amplitude of the external magnetic perturbation normalized to the background magnetic field.

Optimal indirect stability of a weakly damped elastic abstract system of second order equations coupled by velocities
In this paper, by means of the Riesz basis approach, we study the stability of a weakly damped system of two second order evolution equations coupled through the velocities. If the fractional order damping becomes viscous and the waves propagate with equal speeds, we prove exponential stability of the system and, otherwise, we establish an optimal polynomial decay rate. Finally, we provide some illustrative examples.

Linear inviscid damping for the $β$-plane equation
In this paper, we study the linear inviscid damping for the linearized $\beta$-plane equation around shear flows. We develop a new method to give the explicit decay rate of the velocity for a class of monotone shear flows. This method is based on the space-time estimate and the vector field method in sprit of the wave equation. For general shear flows including the Sinus flow, we also prove the linear damping by establishing the limiting absorption principle, which is based on the compactness method introduced by Wei-Zhang-Zhao in \cite{WZZ2}. The main difficulty is that the Rayleigh-Kuo equation has more singular points due to the Coriolis effects so that the compactness argument becomes more involved and delicate.

Perfect absorption of water waves by linear or nonlinear critical coupling
We report on experiments of perfect absorption for surface gravity waves impinging a wall structured by a subwavelength resonator. By tuning the geometry of the resonator, a balance is achieved between the radiation damping and the intrinsic viscous damping, resulting in perfect absorption by critical coupling. Besides, it is shown that the resistance of the resonator, hence the intrinsic damping, can be controlled by the wave amplitude, which provides a way for perfect absorption tuned by nonlinear mechanisms. The perfect absorber that we propose, without moving parts or added material, is simple, robust and it presents a deeply subwavelength ratio wavelength/size $\simeq 18$.

In particular, from the analysis of the wave damping in reacting gases following the work of Einsten \citep{Ein}, it is found that the damping due to the chemical reactions occurs nonetheless the second (bulk) viscosity introduced by Landau \& Lifshitz \citep{LL86} is zero. The simple but important case of a recombining Hydrogen plasma is examined.

Forward Discretely Self-Similar Solutions of the MHD Equations and the Viscoelastic Navier-Stokes Equations with Damping
In this paper, we prove the existence of forward discretely self-similar solutions to the MHD equations and the viscoelastic Navier-Stokes equations with damping with large weak $L^3$ initial data. The same proving techniques are also applied to construct self-similar solutions to the MHD equations and the viscoelastic Navier-Stokes equations with damping with large weak $L^3$ initial data. This approach is based on [Z. Bradshaw and T.-P. Tsai, Ann. Henri Poincar'{e}, vol. 18, no. 3, 1095-1119, 2017].

The effect of magnetic twist on resonant absorption of slow sausage waves in magnetic flux tubes
Observations show that twisted magnetic flux tubes are present throughout the sun's atmosphere. The main aim of this work is to obtain the damping rate of sausage modes in the presence of magnetic twist. Using the connection formulae obtained by Sakurai et al. (1991), we investigate resonant absorption of the sausage modes in the slow continuum under photosphere conditions. We derive the dispersion relation and solve it numerically and consequently obtain the frequencies and damping rates of the slow surface sausage modes. We conclude that the magnetic twist can result in strong damping in comparison with the untwisted case.

Endpoint Strichartz estimate for the damped wave equation and its application
Recently, the Strichartz estimates for the damped wave equation was obtained by the first author except for the wave endpoint case. In the present paper, we give the Strichartz estimate in the wave endpoint case. We slightly modify the argument of Keel--Tao. Moreover, we apply the endpoint Strichartz estimate to the unconditional uniqueness for the energy critical nonlinear damped wave equation. This problem seems not to be solvable as the perturbation of the wave equation.

Damping modes of harmonic oscillator in open quantum systems
Through a set of generators that preserves the hermiticity and trace of density matrices, we analyze the damping of harmonic oscillator in open quantum systems into four modes, distinguished by their specific effects on the covariance matrix of position and momentum of the oscillator. The damping modes could either cause exponential decay to the initial covariance matrix or shift its components. They have to act together properly in actual dynamics to ensure that the generalized uncertainty relation is satisfied. We use a few quantum master equations to illustrate the results.

Stabilization of two strongly coupled hyperbolic equations in exterior domains
In this paper we study the behavior of the total energy and the $L^2$-norm of solutions of two coupled hyperbolic equations by velocities in exterior domains. Only one of the two equations is directly damped by a localized damping term. We show that, when the damping set contains the coupling one and the coupling term is effective at infinity and on captive region, then the total energy decays uniformly and the $L^2$-norm of smooth solutions is bounded. In the case of two Klein-Gordon equations with equal speeds we deduce an exponential decay of the energy.
