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 $H^s$.

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.

Damped bead on a rotating circular hoop - a bifurcation zoo
The evergreen problem of a bead on a rotating hoop shows a multitude of bifurcations when the bead moves with friction. This motion is studied for different values of the damping coefficient and rotational speeds of the hoop. Phase portraits and trajectories corresponding to all different modes of motion of the bead are presented. They illustrate the rich dynamics associated with this simple system. For some range of values of the damping coefficient and rotational speeds of the hoop, linear stability analysis of the equilibrium points is inadequate to classify their nature. A technique involving transformation of coordinates and order of magnitude arguments is presented to examine such cases. This may provide a general framework to investigate other complex systems.

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.

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.

A formula for damping interarea oscillations with generator redispatch

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.

Existence Results for Some Damped Second-Order Volterra Integro-Differential Equations
In this paper we make a subtle use of operator theory techniques and the well-known Schauder fixed-point principle to establish the existence of pseudo-almost automorphic solutions to some second-order damped integro-differential equations with pseudo-almost automorphic coefficients. In order to illustrate our main results, we will study the existence of pseudo-almost automorphic solutions to a structurally damped plate-like boundary value problem.

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.

Local existence results for the Westervelt equation with nonlinear damping and Neumann as well as absorbing boundary conditions
We investigate the Westervelt equation with several versions of nonlinear damping and lower order damping terms and Neumann as well as absorbing boundary conditions. We prove local in time existence of weak solutions under the assumption that the initial and boundary data are sufficiently small. Additionally, we prove local well-posedness in the case of spatially varying $L^{\infty}$ coefficients, a model relevant in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications.

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.

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.]

Large Deviations for the Langevin equation with strong damping
We study large deviations in the Langevin dynamics, with damping of order $\e^{-1}$ and noise of order $1$, as $\e\downarrow 0$. The damping coefficient is assumed to be state dependent. We proceed first with a change of time and then, we use a weak convergence approach to large deviations and their equivalent formulation in terms of the Laplace principle, to determine the good action functional. Some applications of these results to the exit problem from a domain and to the wave front propagation for a suitable class of reaction diffusion equations are considered.

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.

Comments on turbulence theory by Qian and by Edwards and McComb
We reexamine Liouville equation based turbulence theories proposed by Qian {[}Phys. Fluids \textbf{26}, 2098 (1983){]} and Edwards and McComb {[}J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{2}, 157 (1969){]}, which are compatible with Kolmogorov spectrum. These theories obtained identical equation for spectral density $q(k)$ and different results for damping coefficient. Qian proposed variational approach and Edwards and McComb proposed maximal entropy principle to obtain equation for the damping coefficient. We show that assumptions used in these theories to obtain damping coefficient correspond to unphysical conditions.

Scaling variables and asymptotic profiles for the semilinear damped wave equation with variable coefficients
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the semilinear damped wave equation with variable coefficients. We prove that if the damping is effective, and the nonlinearity and other lower order terms can be regarded as perturbations, then the solution is approximated by the scaled Gaussian of the corresponding linear parabolic problem. The proof is based on the scaling variables and energy estimates.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On the blow-up for critical semilinear wave equations with damping in the scattering case
We consider the Cauchy problem for semilinear wave equations with variable coefficients and time-dependent scattering damping in $\mathbf{R}^n$, where $n\geq 2$. It is expected that the critical exponent will be Strauss' number $p_0(n)$, which is also the one for semilinear wave equations without damping terms. Lai and Takamura (2018) have obtained the blow-up part, together with the upper bound of lifespan, in the sub-critical case $p<p_0(n)$. In this paper, we extend their results to the critical case $p=p_0(n)$. The proof is based on Wakasa and Yordanov (2018), which concerns the blow-up and upper bound of lifespan for critical semilinear wave equations with variable coefficients.

Mixed control of vibrational systems
We consider new performance measures for vibrational systems based on the $H_2$ norm of linear time invariant systems. New measures will be used as an optimization criterion for the optimal damping of vibrational systems. We consider both theoretical and concrete cases in order to show how new measures stack up against the standard measures. The quality and advantages of new measures as well as the behaviour of optimal damping positions and corresponding damping viscosities are illustrated in numerical experiments.

Comments on the linear modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation in electrolyte solution theory
Three analytic results are proposed for a linear form of the modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation in the theory of bulk electrolytes. Comparison is also made with the mean spherical approximation results. The linear theories predict a transition of the mean electrostatic potential from a Debye-H\"{u}ckel type damped exponential to a damped oscillatory behaviour as the electrolyte concentration increases beyond a critical value. The screening length decreases with increasing concentration when the mean electrostatic potential is damped oscillatory. A comparison is made with one set of recent experimental screening results for aqueous NaCl electrolytes.

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.

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.

Uniform energy decay for wave equations with unbounded damping coefficients
We consider the Cauchy problem for wave equations with unbounded damping coefficients in the whole space. For a general class of unbounded damping coefficients, we derive uniform total energy decay estimates together with a unique existence result of a weak solution. In this case we never impose strong assumptions such as compactness of the support of the initial data. This means that we never rely on the finite propagation speed property of the solution, and we try to deal with an essential unbounded coefficient case.

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 $\mu>1$.

Life-span of blowup solutions to semilinear wave equation with space-dependent critical damping
This paper is concerned with the blowup phenomena for initial value problem of semilinear wave equation with critical space-dependent damping term (DW:$V$). The main result of the present paper is to give a solution of the problem and to provide a sharp estimate for lifespan for such a solution when $\frac{N}{N-1}<p\leq p_S(N+V_0)$, where $p_S(N)$ is the Strauss exponent for (DW:$0$). The main idea of the proof is due to the technique of test functions for (DW:$0$) originated by Zhou--Han (2014, MR3169791). Moreover, we find a new threshold value $V_0=\frac{(N-1)^2}{N+1}$ for the coefficient of critical and singular damping $|x|^{-1}$.

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.

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.

Critical exponent for nonlinear damped wave equations with non-negative potential in 3D
We are studying possible interaction of damping coefficients in the subprincipal part of the linear 3D wave equation and their impact on the critical exponent of the corresponding nonlinear Cauchy problem with small initial data. The main new phenomena is that certain relation between these coefficients may cause very strong jump of the critical Strauss exponent in 3D to the critical 5D Strauss exponent for the wave equation without damping coefficients.

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 $\simeq 18$.

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 $\beta = 3$.

Damping of sound waves by bulk viscosity in reacting gases
The very long standing problem of sound waves propagation in fluids is reexamined. 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.

An explanation for the pseudogap of high-temperature superconductors based on quantum optics
We first explain the pseudogap of high-temperature superconductivity based on an approach of quantum optics. After introducing a damping factor for the lifetime $\tau$ of quasiparticles, the superconducting dome is naturally produced, and the pseudogap is the consequence of pairing with damped coherence. We derive a new expression of Ginzburg-Landau free energy density, in which a six-order term due to decoherence damping effect is included. Without invoking any microscopic pairing mechanism, this approach provides a simple universal equation of second-order phase transition, which can be reduced to two well-known empirical scaling equations: the superconducting dome Presland-Tallon equation, and the normal-state pseudogap crossover temperature $T^{*}$ line.

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.

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.

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 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.

Growth rate and gain of stimulated Brillouin scattering considering nonlinear Landau damping due to particle trapping
Growth rate and gain of SBS considering the reduced Landau damping due to particle trapping has been proposed to predict the growth and average level of SBS reflectivity. Due to particle trapping, the reduced Landau damping has been taken used of to calculate the gain of SBS, which will make the simulation data of SBS average reflectivity be consistent to the Tang model better. This work will solve the pending questions in laser-plasma interaction and have wide applications in parametric instabilities.

Existence and uniqueness of solutions to the damped Navier-Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions for three dimensional incompressible fluid
In this article, we study the solutions of the damped Navier--Stokes equation with Navier boundary condition in a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with smooth boundary. The existence of the solutions is global with the damped term $\vartheta |u|^{\beta-1}u, \vartheta >0.$ The regularity and uniqueness of solutions with Navier boundary condition is also studied. This extends the existing results in literature.

Logarithmic stabilization of an acoustic system with a damping term of Brinkman type
We study the problem of stabilization for the acoustic system with a spatially distributed damping. Without imposing any hypotheses on the structural properties of the damping term, we identify logarithmic decay of solutions with growing time. Logarithmic decay rate is shown by using a frequency domain method and combines a contradiction argument with the multiplier technique and a new Carleman estimate to carry out a special analysis for the resolvent.

Quantum capacity analysis of multi-level amplitude damping channels
The set of Multi-level Amplitude Damping (MAD) quantum channels is introduced as a generalization of the standard qubit Amplitude Damping Channel to quantum systems of finite dimension $d$. In the special case of $d=3$, by exploiting degradability, data-processing inequalities, and channel isomorphism, we compute the associated quantum and private classical capacities for a rather wide class of maps, extending the set of solvable models known so far. We proceed then to the evaluation of the entanglement assisted, quantum and classical, capacities.

An inverse spectral problem for a damped wave operator
This paper proposes a new and efficient numerical algorithm for recovering the damping coefficient from the spectrum of a damped wave operator, which is a classical Borg-Levinson inverse spectral problem. The algorithm is based on inverting a sequence of trace formulas, which are deduced by a recursive formula, bridging geometrical and spectrum information explicitly in terms of Fredholm integral equations. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Asymptotic profiles and singular limits for the viscoelastic damped wave equation with memory of type I
In this paper, we are interested in the Cauchy problem for the viscoelastic damped wave equation with memory of type I. By applying WKB analysis and Fourier analysis, we explain the memory's influence on dissipative structures and asymptotic profiles of solutions to the model with weighted $L^1$ initial data. Furthermore, concerning standard energy and the solution itself, we establish singular limit relations between the Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation with memory and the viscoelastic damped wave equation with memory.

A class of Finite difference Methods for solving inhomogeneous damped wave equations
In this paper, a class of finite difference numerical techniques is presented to solve the second-order linear inhomogeneous damped wave equation. The consistency, stability, and convergences of these numerical schemes are discussed. The results obtained are compared to the exact solution, ordinary explicit, implicit finite difference methods, and the fourth-order compact method (FOCM). The general idea of these methods is developed by using the C0-semigroups operator theory. We also showed that the stability region for the explicit finite difference scheme depends on the damping coefficient.

Enhanced and unenhanced dampings of Kolmogorov flow
In the present study, Kolmogorov flow represents the stationary sinusoidal solution $(\sin y,0)$ to a two-dimensional spatially periodic Navier-Stokes system, driven by an external force. This system admits the additional non-stationary solution $(\sin y,0)+e^{-\nu t} (\sin y,0)$, which tends exponentially to the Kolmogorov flow at the minimum decay rate determined by the viscosity $\nu$. Enhanced damping or enhanced dissipation of the problem is obtained by presenting higher decay rate for the difference between a solution and the non-stationary basic solution. Moreover, for the understanding of the metastability problem in an explicit manner, a variety of exact solutions are presented to show enhanced and unenhanced dampings.

On Linear Damping Around Inhomogeneous Stationary States of the Vlasov-HMF Model
We study the dynamics of perturbations around an inhomogeneous stationary state of the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) model, satisfying a linearized stability criterion (Penrose criterion). We consider solutions of the linearized equation around the steady state, and prove the algebraic decay in time of the Fourier modes of their density. We prove moreover that these solutions exhibit a scattering behavior to a modified state, implying a linear Landau damping effect with an algebraic rate of damping.

The squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel
Squeezing of a thermal bath introduces new features absent in an open quantum system interacting with an uncorrelated (zero squeezing) thermal bath. The resulting dynamics, governed by a Lindblad-type evolution, extends the concept of a generalized amplitude damping channel, which corresponds to a dissipative interaction with a purely thermal bath. Here we present the Kraus representation of this map, which we call the squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel. As an application of this channel to quantum information, we study the classical capacity of this channel.

Memory in a nonlocally damped oscillator
We analyze the new equation of motion for the damped oscillator. It differs from the standard one by a damping term which is nonlocal in time and hence it gives rise to a system with memory. Both classical and quantum analysis is performed. The characteristic feature of this nonlocal system is that it breaks local composition low for the classical Hamiltonian dynamics and the corresponding quantum propagator.

Dynamics of Bloch Oscillations in Disordered Lattice Potentials
We present a detailed analysis of the dynamics of Bloch oscillations of Bose-Einstein condensates in disordered lattice potentials. Due to the disorder and the interparticle interactions these oscillations undergo a dephasing, reflected in a damping of the center of mass oscillations, which should be observable under realistic experimental conditions. The interplay between interactions and disorder is far from trivial, ranging from an interaction-enhanced damping due to modulational instability for strong interactions, to an interaction-reduced damping due to a dynamical screening of the disorder potential.

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.

Small data global existence for the semilinear wave equation with space-time dependent damping
In this paper we consider the critical exponent problem for the semilinear wave equation with space-time dependent damping. When the damping is effective, it is expected that the critical exponent agrees with that of only space dependent coefficient case. We shall prove that there exists a unique global solution for small data if the power of nonlinearity is larger than the expected exponent. Moreover, we do not assume that the data are compactly supported. However, it is still open whether there exists a blow-up solution if the power of nonlinearity is smaller than the expected exponent.

Shear viscosity due to the Landau damping from quark-pion interaction
We have calculated the shear viscosity coefficient $\eta$ of the strongly interacting matter in the relaxation time approximation, where a quasi particle description of quarks with its dynamical mass is considered from NJL model. Due to the thermodynamic scattering of quarks with pseudo scalar type condensate (i.e. pion), a non zero Landau damping will be acquired by the propagating quarks. This Landau damping may be obtained from the Landau cut contribution of the in-medium self-energy of quark-pion loop, which is evaluated in the framework of real-time thermal field theory.

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.

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.
