Initial Layer and Relaxation Limit of Non-Isentropic Compressible Euler Equations with Damping
In this paper, we study the relaxation limit of the relaxing Cauchy problem for non-isentropic compressible Euler equations with damping in multi-dimensions. We prove that the velocity of the relaxing equations converges weakly to that of the relaxed equations, while other variables of the relaxing equations converges strongly to the corresponding variables of the relaxed equations. We show that as relaxation time approaches 0, there exists an initial layer for the ill-prepared data, the convergence of the velocity is strong outside the layer; while there is no initial layer for the well-prepared data, the convergence of the velocity is strong near t=0.

Exponential decay for the damped wave equation in unbounded domains
We study the decay of the semigroup generated by the damped wave equation in an unbounded domain. We first prove under the natural geometric control condition the exponential decay of the semigroup. Then we prove under a weaker condition the logarithmic decay of the solutions (assuming that the initial data are smoother). As corollaries, we obtain several extensions of previous results of stabilisation and control.

Relaxation of regularity for the Westervelt equation by nonlinear damping with application in acoustic-acoustic and elastic-acoustic coupling
In this paper we show local (and partially global) in time existence for the Westervelt equation with several versions of nonlinear damping. This enables us to prove well-posedness with spatially varying $L_\infty$-coefficients, which includes the situation of interface coupling between linear and nonlinear acoustics as well as between linear elasticity and nonlinear acoustics, as relevant, e.g., in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications.

Vortex gyration mediated by spin waves driven by an out-of-plane oscillating magnetic field
In this letter we address the vortex core dynamics involved in gyration excitation and damping change by out-of-plane oscillating magnetic fields. When the vortex core is at rest under the effect of in-plane bias magnetic fields, the spin waves excited by the perpendicular magnetic field can induce obvious vortex gyration. When simultaneously excite spin waves and vortex gyrotropic motion, the gyration damping changes. Analysis of the system energy allows us to explain the origin of the spin-wave-mediated vortex gyration.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach to open quantum systems
Open quantum systems are studied from the thermodynamical point of view unifying the principle of maximum informational entropy and the hypothesis of relaxation times hierarchy. The result of the unification is a non-Markovian and local in time master equation that provides a direct connection of dynamical and thermodynamical properties of open quantum systems. The power of the approach is illustrated with the application to the damped harmonic oscillator and the damped driven two-level system resulting in analytical expressions for the non-Markovian and non-equilibrium entropy and inverse temperature.

Linear Inviscid Damping for Monotone Shear Flows
In this article, we prove linear stability, scattering and inviscid damping with optimal decay rates for the linearized 2D Euler equations around a large class of strictly monotone shear flows, $(U(y),0)$, in a periodic channel under Sobolev perturbations. Here, we consider the settings of both an infinite periodic channel of period $L$, $\mathbb{T}_{L}\times \mathbb{R}$, as well as a finite periodic channel, $\mathbb{T}_{L} \times [0,1]$, with impermeable walls. The latter setting is shown to not only be technically more challenging, but to exhibit qualitatively different behavior due to boundary effects.

Damping of liquid sloshing by foams: from everyday observations to liquid transport
We perform experiments on the sloshing dynamics of liquids in a rectangular container submitted to an impulse. We show that when foam is placed on top of the liquid the oscillations of the free interface are significantly damped. The ability to reduce sloshing and associated splashing could find applications in numerous industrial processes involving liquid transport.

A geometric mesh smoothing algorithm related to damped oscillations
We introduce a smoothing algorithm for triangle, quadrilateral, tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes whose centerpiece is a simple geometric triangle transformation. The first part focuses on the mathematical properties of the element transformation. In particular, the transformation gives rise directly to a continuous model given by a system of coupled damped oscillations. Derived from this physical model, adaptive parameters are introduced and their benefits presented. The second part discusses the mesh smoothing algorithm based on the element transformation and its numerical performance on example meshes.

Two-photon lasing by a superconducting qubit
We study the response of a magnetic-field-driven superconducting qubit strongly coupled to a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator. We observed a strong amplification/damping of a probing signal at different resonance points corresponding to a one and two-photon emission/absorption. The sign of the detuning between the qubit frequency and the probe determines whether amplification or damping is observed. The larger blue detuned driving leads to two-photon lasing while the larger red detuning cools the resonator. Our experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical model of qubit lasing and cooling at the Rabi frequency.

Enhanced oscillation lifetime of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the 3D/1D crossover
We have measured the damped motion of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, oscillating with respect to a thermal cloud. The cigar-shaped trapping potential provides enough transverse confinement that the dynamics of the system are intermediate between three-dimensional and one-dimensional. We find that oscillations persist for longer than expected for a three-dimensional gas. We attribute this to the suppressed occupation of transverse momentum states, which are essential for damping.

Nonequilibrium dynamics of an ultracold dipolar gas
We study the relaxation and damping dynamics of an ultracold, but not quantum degenerate, gas consisting of dipolar particles. These simulations are performed using a direct simulation Monte Carlo method and employing the highly anisotropic differential cross section of dipoles in the Wigner threshold regime. We find that both cross-dimensional relaxation and damping of breathing modes occur at rates that are strongly dependent on the orientation of the dipole moments relative to the trap axis. The relaxation simulations are in excellent agreement with recent experimental results in erbium. The results direct our interest toward a less explored regime in dipolar gases where interactions are dominated by collision processes rather than mean-field interactions.

On the Stability of Cylindrical Tangential Discontinuity, Generation and Damping of Helical Waves
Stability of cylindrical interface between two ideal incompressible fluids, including the magnetic field, surface tension and gravitational field is studied in linear approximation. We found that helical waves arising both in plasma comet tails and on the vertical cylindrical water jet in the air are described by the same dispersion equation where the comet tail magnetic field plays the same stabilizing role as surface tension for water jet. Hence they represent the same phenomenon of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. Thus helical waves in comet tails and astrophysical jets may be simulated in the laboratory. The resonance nature of the Kelvin- instability damping is demonstrated.

On the Lewis-Riesenfeld (Dodonov-Man'ko) invariant method
We revise the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant method for solving the quantum time-dependent harmonic oscillator in light of the Quantum Arnold Transformation previously introduced and its recent generalization to the Quantum Arnold-Ermakov-Pinney Transformation. We prove that both methods are equivalent and show the advantages of the Quantum Arnold-Ermakov-Pinney transformation over the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant method. We show that, in the quantum time-dependent and damped harmonic oscillator, the invariant proposed by Dodonov & Man'ko is more suitable and provide some examples to illustrate it, focusing on the damped case.

On the strongly damped wave equation with constraint
A weak formulation for the so-called "semilinear strongly damped wave equation with constraint" is introduced and a corresponding notion of solution is defined. The main idea in this approach consists in the use of duality techniques in Sobolev-Bochner spaces, aimed at providing a suitable "relaxation" of the constraint term. A global in time existence result is proved under the natural condition that the initial data have finite "physical" energy.

Spin-Orbit Torques in Two-Dimensional Rashba Ferromagnets
Magnetization dynamics in single-domain ferromagnets can be triggered by charge current if spin-orbit coupling is sufficiently strong. We apply functional Keldysh theory to investigate Rashba spin-orbit torques in metallic two-dimensional ferromagnets. A reactive, anti-damping-like spin-orbit torque as well as a dissipative, field-like torque are calculated microscopically, to the leading order in the spin-orbit interaction strength. By calculating the first vertex correction we show that the intrinsic anti-damping-like torque vanishes unless the scattering rates are spin-dependent.

Global Dirichlet Heat Kernel Estimates for Symmetric Lévy Processes in Half-space
In this paper, we derive explicit sharp two-sided estimates for the Dirichlet heat kernels of a large class of symmetric (but not necessarily rotationally symmetric) L\'evy processes on half spaces for all $t>0$. These L\'evy processes may or may not have Gaussian component. When L\'evy density is comparable to a decreasing function with damping exponent $\beta$,our estimate is explicit in terms of the distance to the boundary, the L\'evy exponent and the damping exponent $\beta$ of L\'evy density.

The transition from the classical to the quantum regime in nonlinear Landau damping
Starting from the Wigner-Moyal equation coupled to Poisson's equation, a simplified set of equations describing nonlinear Landau damping of Langmuir waves is derived. This system is studied numerically, with a particular focus on the transition from the classical to the quantum regime. In the quantum regime several new features are found. This includes a quantum modified bounce frequency, and the discovery that bounce-like amplitude oscillations can take place even in the absence of trapped particles. The implications of our results are discussed.

The amplification of weak measurements under quantum noise
The influence of outside quantum noises on the amplification of weak measurements is investigated. Three typical quantum noises are discussed. The maximum values of the pointer's shifts decrease sharply with the strength of the depolarizing channel and phase damping. In order to obtain significant amplified signals, the preselection quantum systems must be kept away from the two quantum noises. Interestingly, the amplification effect is immune to the amplitude damping noise.

Local energy decay and smoothing effect for the damped Schr{ö}dinger equation
We prove the local energy decay and the smoothing effect for the damped Schr{\"o}dinger equation on R^d. The self-adjoint part is a Laplacian associated to a long-range perturbation of the flat metric. The proofs are based on uniform resolvent estimates obtained by the dissipative Mourre method. All the results depend on the strength of the dissipation which we consider.

Logarithmic stability in determining a boundary coefficient in an ibvp for the wave equation
In [2] we introduced a method combining together an observability inequality and a spectral decomposition to get a logarithmic stability estimate for the inverse problem of determining both the potential and the damping coefficient in a dissipative wave equation from boundary measurements. The present work deals with an adaptation of that method to obtain a logarithmic stability estimate for the inverse problem of determining a boundary damping coefficient from boundary measurements. As in our preceding work, the different boundary measurements are generated by varying one of the initial conditions.

Local decay for the damped wave equation in the energy space
We improve a previous result about the local energy decay for the damped wave equation on R^d. The problem is governed by a Laplacian associated with a long range perturbation of the flat metric and a short range absorption index. Our purpose is to recover the decay O(t^{--d+$\epsilon$}) in the weighted energy spaces. The proof is based on uniform resolvent estimates, given by an improved version of the dissipative Mourre theory. In particular we have to prove the limiting absorption principle for the powers of the resolvent with inserted weights.

Giant Phonon Anomaly associated with Superconducting Fluctuations in the Pseudogap Phase of Cuprates
The opening of the pseudogap in underdoped cuprates breaks up the Fermi surface, which may lead to a breakup of the d-wave order parameter into two subband amplitudes and a low energy Leggett mode due to phase fluctuations between them. This causes a large increase in the temperature range of superconducting fluctuations with an overdamped Leggett mode. Almost resonant scattering of inter-subband phonons to a state with a pair of Leggett modes causes anomalously strong damping. In the ordered state, the Leggett mode develops a finite energy, suppressing the anomalous phonon damping but leading to an anomaly in the phonon dispersion.

On higher regularity for the Westervelt equation with strong nonlinear damping
We show higher interior regularity for the Westervelt equation with strong nonlinear damping term of the $q$-Laplace type. Secondly, we investigate an interface coupling problem for these models, which arise, e.g., in the context of medical applications of high intensity focused ultrasound in the treatment of kidney stones. We show that the solution to the coupled problem exhibits piecewise $H^2$ regularity in space, provided that the gradient of the acoustic pressure is essentially bounded in space and time on the whole domain. This result is of importance in numerical approximations of the present problem, as well as in gradient based algorithms for finding the optimal shape of the focusing acoustic lens in lithotripsy.

Intermode-coupling modulation in the fermion-boson model: heating effects in the BCS regime
Heating induced by an oscillating modulation of the interaction strength in an atomic Fermion pair condensate is analyzed. The coupled fermion-boson model, generalized by incorporating a time-dependent intermode coupling through a magnetic Feshbach resonance, is applied. The dynamics is analytically characterized in a perturbative scheme. The results account for experimental findings which have uncovered a damped and delayed response of the condensate to the modulation. The delay is due to the variation of the quasiparticle energies and the subsequent relaxation of the condensate. The detected damping results from the excitations induced by a nonadiabatic modulation: for driving frequencies larger than twice the pairing gap, quasiparticles are generated, and, consequently, heating sets in.

N-body description of Debye shielding and Landau damping
This paper brings further insight into the recently published N-body description of Debye shielding and Landau damping [Escande D F, Elskens Y and Doveil F 2014 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 57 025017]. Its fundamental equation for the electrostatic potential is derived in a simpler and more rigorous way. Various physical consequences of the new approach are discussed, and this approach is compared with the seminal one by Pines and Bohm [Pines D and Bohm D 1952 Phys. Rev. 85 338--353].

Millisecond newly born pulsars as efficient accelerators of electrons
The newly born millisecond pulsars are investigated as possible energy sources for creating ultra-high energy electrons. The transfer of energy from the star rotation to high energy electrons takes place through the Landau damping of centrifugally driven (via a two stream instability) electrostatic Langmuir waves. Generated in the bulk magnetosphere plasma, such waves grow to high amplitudes, and then damp, very effectively, on relativistic electrons driving them to even higher energies. We show that the rate of transfer of energy is so efficient that no energy losses might affect the mechanism of particle acceleration; the electrons might achieve energies of the order of 10^{18}eV for parameters characteristic of a young star.

Stability of solutions to nonlinear wave equations with switching time-delay
In this paper we study well-posedness and asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear second-order evolution equations with intermittent delay damping. More precisely, a delay feedback and an undelayed one act alternately in time. We show that, under suitable conditions on the feedback operators, asymptotic stability results are available. Concrete examples included in our setting are illustrated. We give also stability results for an abstract model with alternate positive-negative damping, without delay.

Theory of the strongly-damped quantum harmonic oscillator
We analyse the properties of a strongly-damped quantum harmonic oscillator by means of an exact diagonalisation of the full Hamiltonian, including both the oscillator and the reservoir degrees of freedom to which it is coupled. Many of the properties of the oscillator, including its steady-state properties and entanglement with the reservoir can be understood and quantified in terms of a simple probability density, which we may associate with the ground-state frequency spectrum of the oscillator.

Bump-on-tail instability of twisted excitations in rotating cold atomic clouds
We develop a kinetic theory for twisted density waves (phonons), carrying a finite amount of orbital angular momentum, in large magneto optical traps, where the collective processes due to the exchange of scattered photons are considered. Explicit expressions for the dispersion relation and for the kinetic (Landau) damping are derived and contributions from the orbital angular momentum are discussed. We show that for rotating clouds, exhibiting ring-shaped structures, phonons carrying orbital angular momentum can cross the instability threshold and grow out of noise, while the usual plane wave solutions are kinetically damped.

The inviscid limit for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the critical Besov space
We prove that in dimensions three and higher the Landau-Lifshitz- Gilbert equation with small initial data in the critical Besov space is globally wellposed in a uniform way with respect to the Gilbert damping parameter. Then we show that the global solution converges to that of the Schrodinger maps in the natural space as the Gilbert damping term vanishes. The proof is based on some studies on the derivative Ginzburg-Landau equations.

Approximation of Invariant Measure for Damped Stochastic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation via an Ergodic Numerical Scheme
In order to inherit numerically the ergodicity of the damped stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with additive noise, we propose a fully discrete scheme, whose spatial direction is based on spectral Galerkin method and temporal direction is based on a modification of the implicit Euler scheme. We not only prove the unique ergodicity of the numerical solutions of both spatial semi-discretization and full discretization, but also present error estimations on invariant measures, which gives order $2$ in spatial direction and order ${\frac12}$ in temporal direction.

Cavity and HOM Coupler Design for CEPC
In this paper we will show a cavity and higher order mode (HOM) coupler designing scheme for the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) main ring. The cavity radio frequency (RF) design parameters are showed in this paper. The HOM power is calculated based on the beam parameters in the Preliminary Conceptual Design Report (Pre-CDR). The damping results of the higher order modes (HOMs) and same order modes (SOMs) show that they are reached the damping requirements for beam stability.

Upper semicontinuity of pullback attractors for damped wave equations
In this paper, we study the upper semicontinuity of pullback attractors for a strongly damped wave equation. In particular, under some proper assumptions, we prove that, the pullback attractor $\{A_\varepsilon(t)\}_{t\in\mathbb R}$} of Eq.(1.1) with $\varepsilon\in[0,1]$ satisfies that for any $[a,b]\subset\mathbb R$ and $\varepsilon_0\in[0,1]$, $\lim_{\varepsilon\to\varepsilon_0} \sup_{t\in[a,b]} \mathrm{dist}_{H_0^1\times L^2} (A_\varepsilon(t), A_{\varepsilon_0}(t))=0$, and $\cup_{t\in[a,b]} \cup_{\varepsilon\in[0,1]} A_\varepsilon(t)$ is precompact in $H_0^1 (\Omega) \times L^2(\Omega)$.

Strong trajectory and global $\mathbf{W^{1,p}}$-attractors for the damped-driven Euler system in $\mathbb R^2$
We consider the damped and driven two-dimensional Euler equations in the plane with weak solutions having finite energy and enstrophy. We show that these (possibly non-unique) solutions satisfy the energy and enstrophy equality. It is shown that this system has a strong global and a strong trajectory attractor in the Sobolev space $H^1$. A similar result on the strong attraction holds in the spaces $H^1\cap\{u:\ \|\mathrm{curl} u\|_{L^p}<\infty\}$ for $p\ge2$.

Infinite energy solutions for critical wave equation with fractional damping in unbounded domains
This work is devoted to infinite-energy solutions of semi-linear wave equations in unbounded smooth domains of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with fractional damping of the form $(-\Delta_x+1)^\frac{1}{2}\partial_t u$. The work extends previously known results for bounded domains in finite energy case. Furthermore, well-posedness and existence of locally-compact smooth attractors for the critical quintic non-linearity are obtained under less restrictive assumptions on non-linearity, relaxing some artificial technical conditions used before. This is achieved by virtue of new type Lyapunov functional that allows to establish extra space-time regularity of solutions of Strichartz type.

The solenoid acts on the magnet, which is located at the free end of the pendulum. In this system, the existence and interrelation of chaos and parametric resonance is theoretically examined. Derived analytical results are supported by numerical simulations and conducted experiments.

Evidence for the role of normal-state electrons in nanoelectromechanical damping mechanisms at very low temperatures
We report on experiments performed at low temperatures on aluminum covered silicon nanoelectromechanical resonators. The substantial difference observed between the mechanical dissipation in the normal and superconducting states measured within the same device unambiguously demonstrates the importance of normal-state electrons in the damping mechanism. The dissipative component becomes vanishingly small at very low temperatures in the superconducting state, leading to exceptional values for the quality factor of such small silicon structures. A critical discussion is given within the framework of the standard tunneling model.

Stabilizing the Long-time Behavior of the Navier-Stokes Equations and Damped Euler Systems by Fast Oscillating Forces
The paper studies the issue of stability of solutions to the Navier-Stokes and damped Euler systems in periodic boxes. We show that under action of fast oscillating-in- time external forces all two dimensional regular solutions converge to a time periodic flow. Unexpectedly, effects of stabilization can be also obtained for systems with stationary forces with large total momentum (average of the velocity). Thanks to the Galilean transformation and space boundary conditions, the stationary force changes into one with time oscillations. In the three dimensional case we show an analogical result for weak solutions to the Navier- Stokes equations.

Design of a large dynamic range readout unit for the PSD detector of DAMPE
A large dynamic range is required by the Plastic Scintillator Detector (PSD) of DArk Matter Paricle Explorer (DAMPE), and a double-dynode readout has been developed. To verify this design, a prototype detector module has been constructed and tested with cosmic rays and heavy ion beams. The results match with the estimation and the readout unit could easily cover the required dynamic range.

Engineering and Suppression of Decoherence in Two Qubit Systems
In this work, two experimentally feasible methods of decoherence engineering-one based on the application of stochastic classical kicks and the other based on temporally randomized pulse sequences are combined. A different coupling interaction is proposed, which leads to amplitude damping as compared to existing methods which model phase damping, utilizing the $zz$ coupling interaction. The decoherence process on combining the stochastic kick method and the randomized pulse sequence method and the effectiveness of dynamical decoupling under these coupling interactions are analyzed. Finally, a counter-intuitive result where decoherence is suppressed in the presence of two noise sources under certain resonant conditions is presented.

Attractors for the strongly damped wave equation with $p$-Laplacian
This paper is concerned with the initial boundary value problem for one dimensional strongly damped wave equation involving $p$-Laplacian. For $p>2$, we establish the existence of weak local attractors for this problem in $W_{0}^{1,p}(0,1)\times L^{2}(0,1)$. Under restriction $2<p<4$, we prove that the semigroup, generated by the considered problem, possesses a strong global attractor in $W_{0}^{1,p}(0,1)\times L^{2}(0,1)$ and this attractor is a bounded subset of $W^{1,\infty }(0,1)\times W^{1,\infty }(0,1)$.

Renormalization Group Study of a Fragile Fermi liquid in $1+ε$ dimensions
We present a calculation of the low energy Greens function in $1+\epsilon$ dimensions using the method of extended poor man's scaling, developed here. We compute the wave function renormalization $Z(\omega)$ and also the decay rate near the Fermi energy. Despite the lack of $\omega^2$ damping characteristic of 3-dimensional Fermi liquids, we show that quasiparticles do exist in $1+\epsilon$ dimensions, in the sense that the quasiparticle weight $Z$ is finite and that the damping rate is smaller than the energy. We explicitly compute the crossover from this behavior to a 1-dimensional type Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behavior at higher energies.

Movement of time-delayed hot spots in Euclidean space
We investigate the shape of the solution of the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation. In particular, we study the existence, location and number of spatial maximizers of the solution. Studying the shape of the solution of the damped wave equation, we prepare a decomposed form of the solution into the heat part and the wave part. Moreover, as its another application, we give $L^p$-$L^q$ estimates of the solution.

Optical realization of the dissipative quantum oscillator
An optical realization of the damped quantum oscillator, based on transverse light dynamics in an optical resonator with slowly-moving mirrors, is theoretically suggested. The optical resonator setting provides a simple implementation of the time-dependent Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian of the dissipative quantum oscillator, and enables to visualize the effects of damped oscillations in the classical (ray optics) limit and wave packet collapse in the quantum (wave optics) regime.

Modifications of the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula in two-dimensional Dirac systems
Starting from the Luttinger-Ward functional we derive an expression for the oscillatory part of the grand potential of a two dimensional Dirac system in a magnetic field. We perform the computation for the clean and the disordered system, and we study the effect of electron-electron interactions on the oscillations. Unlike in the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG), a finite temperature and impurity scattering also affects the oscillation frequency. Furthermore, we find that in graphene, compared to the 2DEG, additional interaction induced damping effects occur: to two-loop order electron-electron interactions do lead to an additional damping factor in the amplitude of the Lifshitz-Kosevich-formula.

Landau damping for the linearized Vlasov Poisson equation in a weakly collisional regime
In this paper, we consider the linearized Vlasov-Poisson equation around an homogeneous Maxwellian equilibrium in a weakly collisional regime: there is a parameter $\eps$ in front of the collision operator which will tend to $0$. Moreover, we study two cases of collision operators, linear Boltzmann and Fokker-Planck. We prove a result of Landau damping for those equations in Sobolev spaces uniformly with respect to the collision parameter $\eps$ as it goes to $0$.

Higher order asymptotic expansions to the solutions for a nonlinear damped wave equation
We study the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear damped wave equation. Under suitable assumptions for the nonlinearity and the initial data, we obtain the global solution which satisfies weighted $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ estimates. Furthermore, we establish the higher order asymptotic expansion of the solution. This means that we construct the nonlinear approximation of the global solution with respect to the weight of the data. Our proof is based on the approximation formula of the linear solution, which is given in [36], and the nonlinear approximation theory for a nonlinear parabolic equation developed by [18].

On the pressureless damped Euler-Poisson equations with non-local forces: Critical thresholds and large-time behavior
We analyse the one-dimensional pressureless Euler-Poisson equations with a linear damping and non-local interaction forces. These equations are relevant for modelling collective behavior in mathematical biology. We provide a sharp threshold between the supercritical region with finite-time breakdown and the subcritical region with global-in-time existence of the classical solution. We derive an explicit form of solution in Lagrangian coordinates which enables us to study the time-asymptotic behavior of classical solutions with the initial data in the subcritical region.

We also illustrate the theoretical result by including some numerical experiments at the end of the paper.

The propagation of magnons in temperature gradients is investigated within the framework of an atomistic spin model with the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation as underlying equation of motion. We analyze the magnon accumulation, the magnon temperature profile as well as the propagation length of the excited magnons. The frequency distribution of the generated magnons is investigated in order to derive an expression for the influence of the anisotropy and the damping parameter on the magnon propagation length. For soft ferromagnetic insulators with low damping a propagation length in the range of some $\mu$m can be expected for exchange driven magnons.

Non-existence for fractionally damped fractional differential problems
In this paper, we are concerned with a fractional differential inequality containing a lower order fractional derivative and a polynomial source term in the right hand side. A non-existence of non-trivial global solutions result is proved in an appropriate space by means of the test-function method. The range of blow up is found to depend only on the lower order derivative. This is in line with the well-known fact for an internally weakly damped wave equation that solutions will converge to solutions of the parabolic part.

On the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with a localized damping
We introduce several mechanisms to dissipate the energy in the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation. We consider either a distributed (localized) feedback law, or a boundary feedback law. In each case, we prove the global wellposedness of the system and the convergence towards a solution of the BBM equation which is null on a band. If the Unique Continuation Property holds for the BBM equation, this implies that the origin is asymp-totically stable for the damped BBM equation.

Microscopic derivation of the one qubit Kraus operators for amplitude and phase damping
This article presents microscopic derivation of the Kraus operators for (the generalized) amplitude and phase damping process. Derivation is based on the recently developed method [Andersson et al, J. Mod.Opt. 54, 1695 (2007)] which concerns finite dimensional systems (e.g. qubit). The form of these operators is usually estimated without insight into the microscopic details of the dynamics. The behavior of the qubit dynamics is simulated and depicted via Bloch sphere change.

Damped Topological Magnons in the Kagomé-Lattice Ferromagnets
We demonstrate that interactions can substantially undermine the free-particle description of magnons in ferromagnets on geometrically frustrated lattices. The anharmonic coupling, facilitated by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and a highly-degenerate two-magnon continuum yield a strong, non-perturbative damping of the high-energy magnon modes. We provide a detailed account of the effect for the $S=1/2$ ferromagnet on the kagom\'e lattice and propose further experiments.

Landau-Khalatnikov phonon damping in strongly interacting Fermi gases
We derive the phonon damping rate due to the four-phonon Landau-Khalatnikov process in low temperature strongly interacting Fermi gases using quantum hydrodynamics, correcting and extending the original calculation of Landau and Khalatnikov [ZhETF, 19 (1949) 637]. Our predictions can be tested in state-of-the-art experiments with cold atomic gases in the collisionless regime.

New mechanism of acceleration of particles by stellar black holes
In this paper we study efficiency of particle acceleration in the magnetospheres of stellar mass black holes. For this purpose we consider the linearized set of the Euler equation, continuity equation and Poisson equation respectively. After introducing the varying relativistic centrifugal force, we show that the charge separation undergoes the parametric instability, leading to generation of centrifugally excited Langmuir waves. It is shown that these waves, via the Langmuir collapse damp by means of the Landau damping, as a result energy transfers to particles accelerating them to energies of the order of $10^{16}$eV.

H{ö}lder stability in determining the potential and the damping coefficient in a wave equation
We improve the preceding results obtained by the first and the second authors in [3]. They concern the stability issue of the inverse problem that consists in determining the potential and the damping coefficient in a wave equation from an initial-to-boundary operator. We partially modify the arguments in [3] to show that actually we have H{\"o}lder stability instead of logarithmic stability.

Beam halo study on ATF damping ring
Halo distribution is a key topic for background study. This paper has developed an analytical method to give an estimation of ATF beam halo distribution. The equilibrium particle distribution of the beam tail in the ATF damping ring is calculated analytically with different emittance and different vacuum degree. The analytical results agree the measurements very well. This is a general method which can be applied to any electron rings.

Damping of hard excitations in strongly coupled $\mathcal N\,{=}\,4$ plasma
The damping of high momentum excitations in strongly coupled maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma is studied. Previous calculations of the asymptotic behavior of the quasinormal mode spectrum are extended and clarified. We confirm that subleading corrections to the lightlike dispersion relation $\omega({\bf q}) = |{\bf q}|$ have a universal $|{\bf q}|^{-1/3}$ form. Sufficiently narrow, weak planar shocks may be viewed as coherent superpositions of short wavelength quasinormal modes. The attenuation and evolution in profile of narrow planar shocks are examined as an application of our results.

Assessing the quantumness of a damped two-level system
We perform a detailed analysis of the nonclassical properties of a damped two-level system. We compute and compare three different criteria of quantumness, the $l_1$-norm of coherence, the Leggett- Garg inequality and a quantum witness based on the no-signaling in time condition. We show that all three quantum indicators decay exponentially in time as a result of the coupling to the thermal reservoir. We further demonstrate that the corresponding characteristic times are identical and given by the coherence half-life. These results quantify how violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities and nonzero values of the quantum witness are connected to the coherence of the two-level system.

Restoring genuine tripartite entanglement under local amplitude damping
We investigate the possibility to restore genuine tripartite entanglement under local amplitude damping. We show that it is possible to protect genuine entanglement using CNOT and Hadamard gates. We analyze several ordering of such recovery operations. We find that for recovery operations applied after exposing qubits to decoherence, there is no enhancement in lifetime of genuine entanglement. Actual retrieval of entanglement is only possible when reversal scheme is applied before and after the decoherence process. We find that retrieval of entanglement for mixture of $|\widetilde{W}\rangle$ state with white noise is more evident than the respective mixture of $|W\rangle$ state. We also find the retrieval of entanglement for similar mixture of $|GHZ\rangle$ state as well.

Linear Inviscid Damping for Couette Flow in Stratified Fluid
We study the inviscid damping of Couette flow with an exponentially stratified density. The optimal decay rates of the velocity field and the density are obtained for general perturbations with minimal regularity. For Boussinesq approximation model, the decay rates we get are consistent with the previous results in the literature. We also study the decay rates for the full Euler equations of stratified fluids, which were not studied before. For both models, the decay rates depend on the Richardson number in a very similar way. Besides, we also study the dispersive decay due to the exponential stratification when there is no shear.

On the penalty stabilization mechanism for upwind discontinuous Galerkin formulations of first order hyperbolic systems
Penalty fluxes are dissipative numerical fluxes for high order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods which depend on a penalization parameter. We investigate the dependence of the spectra of high order DG discretizations on this parameter, and show that as its value increases, the spectra of the DG discretization splits into two disjoint sets of eigenvalues. One set converges to the eigenvalues of a conforming discretization, while the other set corresponds to spurious eigenvalues which are damped proportionally to the parameter. Numerical experiments also demonstrate that undamped spurious modes present in both in the limit of zero and large penalization parameters are damped for moderate values of the upwind parameter.

Landau damping of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures
We develop a quantum-mechanical theory for Landau damping of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures larger that the characteristic length for nonlocal effects. We show that the electron surface scattering, which facilitates plasmon decay in small nanostructures, can be incorporated into the metal dielectric function on par with phonon and impurity scattering. The derived surface scattering rate is determined by the plasmon local field polarization relative to the metal-dielectric interface and is highly sensitive to the system geometry. We illustrate our model by providing analytical results for surface scattering rate in some common shape nanostructures.

Convergence in probability of an ergodic and conformal multi-symplectic numerical scheme for a damped stochastic NLS equation
In this paper, we investigate the convergence order in probability of a novel ergodic numerical scheme for damped stochastic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with an additive noise. Theoretical analysis shows that our scheme is of order one in probability under appropriate assumptions for the initial value and noise. Meanwhile, we show that our scheme possesses the unique ergodicity and preserves the discrete conformal multi-symplectic conservation law. Numerical experiments are given to show the longtime behavior of the discrete charge and the time average of the numerical solution, and to test the convergence order, which verify our theoretical results.

Wiggler for CESR operation at 2 GeV
For low energy operation strategy we advocate utilization of many short wigglers in contrast with single long wiggler. This allows begin to operate very naturally with few strong field wigglers giving necessary damping time on expense of energy spread. By adding more and more wigglers in the ring, as these wigglers are manufactured and tuned, the field in the wigglers will be decreased, keeping necessary damping. This strategy allows the mostly effective operation of CESR with minimum down time. This also gives flexibility in operation in wider energy scale without non-reversible modifications.

Energy Transport Property of Charged Particles with Time-Dependent Damping Force via Manifold-Based Analysis Approach
This paper deals with the energy transport properties of charged particles with time-dependent damping force. Based on the proposed nonlinear dimensionless mapping,the stability and dynamical evolution of the particle system is analyzed with the help of manifold-based analysis approach.It has been found that the particle system possesses two types of energy asymptotic behaviors. More significantly, the underlying mechanism of an "energy barrier" is uncovered,i.e., one generalized invariant spanning curve emerges in the dissipative particle system. These results will be useful to enrich the energy transport behavior knowledge of the particle system.

Integration by parts of some non-adapted vector field from Malliavin's lifting approach
In this paper we propose a lift of vector field $X$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$ to a vector field $\tilde{X}$ on the curved Cameron-Martin space $H\left(M\right)$ named orthogonal lift. The construction of this lift is based on a least square spirit with respect to a metric on $H(M)$ reflecting the damping effect of Ricci curvature. Its stochastic extension gives rise to a non-adapted Cameron-Martin vector field on $W_o(M)$. In particular, if $M=\mathbb{R}^d$ with Euclidean metric, then the damp disappears and the lift reduces to the well-known Malliavin's lift. We establish an integration by parts formula for these first order differential operators.

The sharp lifespan estimate for semilinear damped wave equation with Fujita critical power in high dimensions
This paper is concerned about the lifespan estimate to the Cauchy problem of semilinear damped wave equations with the Fujita critical exponent in high dimensions$(n\geq 4)$. We establish the sharp upper bound of the lifespan in the following form \begin{equation}\nonumber\\ \begin{aligned} T(\varepsilon)\leq \exp(C\varepsilon^{-\frac 2n}), \end{aligned} \end{equation} by using the heat kernel as the test function.

Off resonance coupling between a cavity mode and an ensemble of driven spins
We study the interaction between a superconducting cavity and a spin ensemble. The response of a cavity mode is monitored while simultaneously the spins are driven at a frequency close to their Larmor frequency, which is tuned to a value much higher than the cavity resonance. We experimentally find that the effective damping rate of the cavity mode is shifted by the driven spins. The measured shift in the damping rate is attributed to the retarded response of the cavity mode to the driven spins. The experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions and fair agreement is found.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our model can also accommodate a successful leptogenesis to generate the cosmic baryon asymmetry.

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

Convergence to Equilibrium in Wasserstein distance for damped Euler equations with interaction forces

We also discuss the overdamped limit to a nonlocal equation used in the modelling of granular media with respect to the 2-Wasserstein distance, and provide rigorous proofs for particular examples in one spatial dimension.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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