Second order linear evolution equations with general dissipation
The contraction semigroup $S(t)={\rm e}^{t\mathbb{A}}$ generated by the abstract linear dissipative evolution equation $$ \ddot u + A u + f(A) \dot u=0 $$ is analyzed, where $A$ is a strictly positive selfadjoint operator and $f$ is an arbitrary nonnegative continuous function on the spectrum of $A$. A full description of the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator $\mathbb{A}$ of $S(t)$ is provided. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability, the semiuniform stability and the exponential stability of the semigroup are found, depending on the behavior of $f$ and the spectral properties of its zero-set. Applications to wave, beam and plate equations with fractional damping are also discussed.

Electronic properties of the Dirac and Weyl systems with first- and higher-order dispersion in non-Fermi-liquid picture
We investigate the non-Fermi-liquid behaviors of the 2D and 3D Dirac/Weyl systems with low-order and higher order dispersion. The self-energy correction, symmetry, free energy, optical conductivity, density of states, and spectral function are studied. We found that, for Dirac/Weyl systems with higher order dispersion, the non-Fermi-liquid features remain even at finite chemical potential, and they are distinct from the ones in Fermi-liquid picture and the conventional non-Fermi-liquid picture. The Landau damping of the longitudinal excitations within random-phase-approximation (RPA) for the non-Fermi-liquid case are also discussed.

Hot carriers generated by plasmons: where are they are generated and where do they go from there?
A physically transparent unified theory of optically and plasmon induced hot carrier generation in metals is developed with all the relevant mechanisms included. Analytical expressions that estimate the carrier generation rates, their locations, energy and direction of motion are obtained. Among four mechanisms considered: interband absorption, phonon and defect assisted absorption, electron electron scattering assisted absorption, and surface collision assisted absorption (Landau damping), it is the last one that generates hot carriers which are most useful for practical applications in photo detection and photo catalysis.

Parametric Resonance in a dissipative system á la Kronig-Penney
The competition between parametric resonance (PR) and dissipation is studied in the damped Kronig-Penney model, with time-dependent dissipation rate gamma(t). In the classical case, it is shown that dissipation leaves just a finite number of PR-bands at most, suppressing those at higher frequencies. An analysis of the Lewis-Reisenfeld invariant I(q,p,rho) is performed, showing that, in the PR regime, the auxiliary function rho(t) can be chosen bounded or unbounded, depending on the initial conditions.

Small-scale structure from charged leptophilia
We consider a charged leptophilic extension of the Standard Model of particle physics as a minimal dark sector. It accomodates a WIMP paradigm at the TeV-scale that is sufficient to solve all small-scale problems of $\Lambda$CDM and explain the excess of highly energetic cosmic ray Standard Model electrons and positrons presented recently by the DAMPE collaboration. The predictive power of this model allows to test it in the near future.

Quantum interference and exceptional points
Exceptional points (EPs), i.e. branch point singularities of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, are ubiquitous in optics. So far, the signatures of EPs have been mostly studied assuming classical light. In the passive parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) optical coupler, a fingerprint of EPs resulting from the coalescence of two resonance modes is a qualitative change of the photon decay law, from damped Rabi-like oscillations to transparency, as the EP is crossed by increasing the loss rate. However, when probed by non-classical states of light, quantum interference can hide EPs. Here it is shown that, under excitation with polarization-entangled two-photon states, EP phase transition is smoothed until to disappear as the effective particle statistics is changed from bosonic to fermionic.

Stability preserving approximations of a semilinear hyperbolic gas transport model
We consider the discretization of a semilinear damped wave equation arising, for instance, in the modeling of gas transport in pipeline networks. For time invariant boundary data, the solutions of the problem are shown to converge exponentially fast to steady states. We further prove that this decay behavior is inherited uniformly by a class of Galerkin approximations, including finite element, spectral, and structure preserving model reduction methods. These theoretical findings are illustrated by numerical tests.

Comment on "Negative Landau damping in bilayer graphene"
In [Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 119, p. 133901 (2017)] it was argued that two parallel graphene layers in the presence of electron drift support unstable plasmon modes. Here we show that the predicted plasmon instability is an artifact of errors upon evaluation of graphene polarizability in the presence if electron drift. Crucial role of broken Galilean invariance and spatial dispersion of conductivity for suppression of plasmon instabilities is highlighted.

Remark on the pointwise stabilization of an elastic string equation
We consider an initial and boundary value problem the one dimensional wave equation with damping concentrated at an interior point. We prove a result of a logarithmic decay of the energy of a system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The method used is based on the resolvent estimate approach which derives from the Carleman estimate technique. Under an algebraic assumption describing the right location of the actuator, we prove a logarithmic decay of the energy of solution. We show that this assumption is lower than the one given by [Tuc] and [AHT] which depends on the diophantine approximations properties of the actuator's location.

No unique solution to the seismological problem of standing kink MHD waves
The aim of this paper is to point out that the classic seismological problem using observations and theoretical expressions for the periods and damping times of transverse standing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in coronal loops is better referred to as a reduced seismological problem. Reduced emphasises the fact that only a small number of characteristic quantities of the equilibrium profiles can be determined. Reduced also implies that there is no unique solution to the full seismological problem. Even the reduced seismological problem does not allow a unique solution. Bayesian inference results support our mathematical arguments and offer insight into the relationship between the algebraic and the probabilistic inversions.

Contact variational integrators
We present geometric numerical integrators for contact flows that stem from a discretization of Herglotz' variational principle. First we show that the resulting discrete map is a contact transformation and that any contact map can be derived from a variational principle. Then we discuss the backward error analysis of our variational integrators, including the construction of a modified Lagrangian. Throughout the paper we use the damped harmonic oscillator as a benchmark example to compare our integrators to their symplectic analogues.

Build-up of Vibron-Mediated Electron Correlations in Molecular Junctions
We investigate on the same footing the time-dependent electronic transport properties and vibrational dynamics of a molecular junction. We show that fluctuations of both the molecular vibron displacement and the electronic current across the junction undergo damped oscillations towards the steady-state. We assign the former to the onset of electron tunneling events assisted by vibron-emission. The time-dependent build-up of electron-hole correlations is revealed as a departure of the charge-transfer statistics from the generalized-binomial one after a critical time tc. The phonon-back action on the tunneling electrons is shown to amplify and accelerate this build-up mechanism.

Stability boundary approximation of periodic dynamics
We develop here the method for obtaining approximate stability boundaries in the space of parameters for systems with parametric excitation. The monodromy (Floquet) matrix of linearized system is found by averaging method. For system with 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) we derive general approximate stability conditions. We study domains of stability with the use of fourth order approximations of monodromy matrix on example of inverted position of a pendulum with vertically oscillating pivot. Addition of small damping shifts the stability boundaries upwards, thus resulting to both stabilization and destabilization effects.

A continuous dependence result for a dynamic debonding model in dimension one
In this paper we address the problem of continuous dependence on initial and boundary data for a one-dimensional debonding model describing a thin film peeled away from a substrate. The system underlying the process couples the weakly damped wave equation with a Griffith's criterion which rules the evolution of the debonded region. We show that under general convergence assumptions on the data the corresponding solutions converge to the limit one with respect to different natural topologies.

On exact controllability of infinite-dimensional linear port-Hamiltonian systems
Infinite-dimensional linear port-Hamiltonian systems on a one-dimensional spatial domain with full boundary control and without internal damping are studied. This class of systems includes models of beams and waves as well as the transport equation and networks of nonhomogeneous transmission lines. The main result shows that well-posed port-Hamiltonian systems, with state space $L^2((0,1);\mathbb C^n)$ and input space $\mathbb C^n$, are exactly controllable.

Quantum Parametric Resonance of a dissipative oscillator: fading and persistent memory in the long-time evolution
The evolution of a quantum oscillator, with periodically varying frequency and damping, is studied in the two cases of parametric resonance (PR) producing a limited, or unlimited stretching of the wave function. The different asymptotic behaviors of the energy distribution, show the non trivial interplay between PR and the initial quantum state. In the first case, the oscillator's mean energy tends asymptotically to a fully classical value, independent of the initial state, with vanishing relative quantum fluctuations. In the second case, the memory of the initial state persists over arbitrary long time scales, both in the mean value and in the large quantum fluctuations of the energy.

Theory of spin transport through antiferromagnetic insulator
A theoretical formulation for spin transport through an antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator is presented in the case driven/detected by direct/inverse spin Hall effect in two heavy metal contacts. The spin signal is shown to be transferred by the ferromagnetic correlation function of the antiferromagnet, which is calculated based on a magnon representation. To cover high temperature regimes, we include an auxiliary field representing short AF correlations and a temperature-dependent damping due to magnon scattering. The diffusion length for spin is long close to the degeneracy of the two AF magnons, and has a maximum as function of temperature near the N\'eel transition.

Quantum corrections to a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate
We study systematically the quantum corrections to a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-orbit coupling. We show that quantum fluctuations, enhanced by the spin-orbit coupling, modify quantitatively the mean-field properties such as the superfluid density, spin polarizability, and sound velocity. We find that the phase boundary between the plane wave and zero momentum phases is shifted to a smaller transverse field. We also calculate the Beliaev and Landau damping rates and find that the Landau process dominates the quasiparticle decay even at low temperature.

Kinetic plasma waves carrying orbital angular momentum
The structure of Langmuir plasma waves carrying a finite angular orbital momentum is revised in the paraxial optics approximation. It is shown that the kinetic effects related to higher-order momenta of the electron distribution function lead to coupling of Laguerre-Gaussian modes and result in modification of the wave dispersion and damping. The theoretical analysis is compared to the three-dimensional particle-in-cell numerical simulations for a mode with orbital momentum l = 2. It is demonstrated that propagation of such a plasma wave is accompanied with generation of quasi-static axial and azimuthal magnetic fields which are consequence of the longitudinal and orbital momentum transported with the wave.

Spectral function for overoccupied gluodynamics from classical lattice simulations
We study the spectral properties of an overoccupied gluonic system far from equilibrium. Using classical Yang-Mills simulations and linear response theory, we determine the statistical and spectral functions. We measure dispersion relations and damping rates of transversally and longitudinally polarized excitations in the gluonic plasma, and also study further structures in the spectral function.

Cooperative Distributed Robust Control of Modular Mobile Robots with Bounded Curvature and Velocity
A novel motion control system for Compliant Framed wheeled Modular Mobile Robots (CFMMR) is studied in this paper. This type of wheeled mobile robot uses rigid axles coupled by compliant frame modules to provide both full suspension and enhanced steering capability without additional hardware. The proposed control system is developed by combining a bounded curvature-based kinematic controller and a nonlinear damping dynamic controller. In particular, multiple forms of controller interaction are examined. A twoaxle scout CFMMR configuration is used to evaluate the different control structures. Experimental results verify efficient motion control of posture regulation.

Secret objectives: promoting inquiry and tackling preconceptions in teaching laboratories
In its most general form, a `secret objective' is any inconsistency between the experimental reality and the information provided to students prior to starting work on an experiment. Students are challenged to identify the secret objectives and then given freedom to explore and understand the experiment, thus encouraging and facilitating genuine inquiry elements in introductory laboratory courses. Damping of a simple pendulum is used as a concrete example to demonstrate how secret objectives can be included. We also discuss the implications of the secret objectives method and how this can provide a link between the concepts of problem based learning and inquiry style labs.

A Dynamical Systems Perspective on Nesterov Acceleration
We present a dynamical system framework for understanding Nesterov's accelerated gradient method. In contrast to earlier work, our derivation does not rely on a vanishing step size argument. We show that Nesterov acceleration arises from discretizing an ordinary differential equation with a semi-implicit Euler integration scheme. We analyze both the underlying differential equation as well as the discretization to obtain insights into the phenomenon of acceleration. The analysis suggests that a curvature-dependent damping term lies at the heart of the phenomenon. We further establish connections between the discretized and the continuous-time dynamics.

Models for damped water waves
In this paper we derive some new weakly nonlinear asymptotic models describing viscous waves in deep water with or without surface tension effects. These asymptotic models take into account several different dissipative effects and are obtained from the free boundary problems formulated in the works of Dias, Dyachenko and Zakharov (Physics Letters A, 2008), Jiang, Ting, Perlin and Schultz (Journal of Fluid Mechanics,1996) and Wu, Liu and Yue (Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2006).

A generalized Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation: global existence and stability results
We consider the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with two pure-power nonlinearities and a damping term. After proving a general global existence result, we focus on the existence and stability of several periodic orbits, namely the trivial equilibrium, bound-states and solutions independent of the spatial variable. In particular, we construct bound-states either explicitly in the real line or through a bifurcation argument for a double eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplace operator on bounded domains.

An Analytical Approach to Eddy Current in Electromagnetic Damping
An analytical method of calculating eddy current in a metallic spinning gyroscope in external magnetic field is presented. With reasonable assumptions, the problem is simplified from the time-dependent one governed by Maxwell equations to the boundary value problem of Poisson equation, which yields a closed form expression of the eddy current. The rotation frequency as a function of time is calculated, compared with experiment and the relative error is found to be 8.61%.

Saddle-Node Bifurcation and Homoclinic Persistence in AFM with Periodic Forcing
We study the dynamics of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) model, under the Lennard-Jones force with non-linear damping, and harmonic forcing. We establish the bifurcation diagrams for equilibria in a conservative system. Particularly, we present conditions that guarantee the local existence of saddle-node bifurcations. By using the Melnikov method, the region in the space parameters where the persistence of homoclinic orbits is determined in a non-conservative system.

An overview of quasinormal modes in modified and extended gravity
As gravitational waves are now being nearly routinely measured with interferometers, the question of using them to probe new physics becomes increasingly legitimate. In this article, we rely on a well established framework to investigate how the complex frequencies of quasinormal modes are affected by different models. The tendencies are explicitly shown, for both the pulsation and the damping rate. The goal is, at this stage, purely qualitative. This opportunity is also taken to derive the Regge-Wheeler equation for general static and spherically symmetric metrics.

Uniform attractors of non-autonomous Kirchhoff wave models
The paper investigates the existence and upper semicontinuity of uniform attractors of the perturbed non-autonomous Kirchhoff wave equations with strong damping and supercritical nonlinearity: $u_{tt}-\Delta u_{t}-(1+\epsilon\|\nabla u\|^{2})\Delta u+f(u)=g(x,t)$, where $\epsilon\in [0,1]$ is a perturbed parameter. It shows that when the nonlinearity $f(u)$ is of supercritical growth $p: \frac{N+2}{N-2}=p^*<p<p^{**}=\frac{N+4}{(N-4)^+}$: (i) the related evolution process has a compact uniform attractor $\mathcal{A}_\ls^\e $ for each $\epsilon\in [0,1]$; (ii) the family of uniform attractor $\mathcal{A}_\ls^\e $ is upper semicontinuous on the perturbed parameter $\epsilon$ in the sense of partially strong topology.

An I + PI Controller Structure for Integrating Processes with Dead-Time: Application to Depth Control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
The paper presents a feedforward plus feedback controller structure with I and PI controllers for control of an integrating process with dead time. Guidelines for controller gain selection based on time domain specifications of damping factor and natural frequency are provided along with simulations indicating the selectivity of process response. The utility of proposed controller structure is shown by simulating the depth control of a nonlinear autonomous underwater vehicle system by the proposed controller structure.

Maxwell's lesser demon: a quantum engine driven by pointer measurements
We discuss a self-contained spin-boson model for a measurement-driven engine, in which a demon generates work from thermal excitations of a quantum spin via measurement and feedback control. Instead of granting it full direct access to the spin state and to Landauer's erasure strokes for optimal performance, we restrict this demon's action to pointer measurements, i.e. random or continuous interrogations of a damped mechanical oscillator that assumes macroscopically distinct positions depending on the spin state. The engine can reach simultaneously the power and efficiency benchmarks and operate in temperature regimes where quantum Otto engines would fail.

Enhanced dissipation for the 2D Couette flow in critical space
We consider the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbf{R}$, with initial vorticity that is $\delta$ close in $H^{log}_xL^2_{y}$ to $-1$(the vorticity of the Couette flow $(y,0)$). We prove that if $\delta\ll \nu^{1/2}$, where $\nu$ denotes the viscosity, then the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation approaches some shear flow which is also close to Couette flow for time $t\gg \nu^{-1/3}$ by a mixing-enhanced dissipation effect and then converges back to Couette flow when $t\to +\infty$. In particular, we show the nonlinear enhanced dissipation and the inviscid damping results in the almost critical space $H^{log}_xL^2_{y}\subset L^2_{x,y}$.

On equilibrium radiation and zero-point fluctuations in non-relativistic electron gas
Examination of equilibrium radiation in plasma media shows that the spectral the energy distribution of such radiation is different from the Planck equilibrium radiation. Using the previously obtained general relations for the spectral energy density of equilibrium radiation in a system of charged particles, we consider radiation in an electron in the limiting case of an infinitesimal damping. It is shown that zero vacuum fluctuations which are part of the full spectral energy distribution should be renormalized. In this case, the renormalized zero vacuum fluctuations depend on the electron density. A similar effect should exist in the general case of a quasineutral plasma.

A new result for 2D boundedness of solutions to a chemotaxis--haptotaxis model with/without sub-logistic source
We consider the Neumann problem for a coupled chemotaxis-haptotaxis model of cancer invasion with/without kinetic source in a 2D bounded and smooth domain. For a large class of cell kinetic sources including zero source and sub-logistic sources, we detect an explicit condition involving the chemotactic strength, the asymptotic "damping" rate, and the initial mass of cells to ensure uniform-in-time boundedness for the corresponding Neumann problem. Our finding significantly improves existing 2D global existence and boundedness in related chemotaxis-/haptotaxis systems.

Deviations from Gaussianity in deterministic discrete time dynamical systems
In this paper we examine the deviations from Gaussianity for two types of random variable converging to a normal distribution, namely sums of random variables generated by a deterministic discrete time map and a linearly damped variable driven by a deterministic map. We demonstrate how Edgeworth expansions provide a universal description of the deviations from the limiting normal distribution. We derive explicit expressions for these asymptotic expansions and provide numerical evidence of their accuracy.

Microwave induced tunable subharmonic steps in superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor Josephson junction
We investigate the coupling between ferromagnet and superconducting phase dynamics in superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor Josephson junction. The current-voltage characteristics of the junction demonstrate a pattern of subharmonic current steps which forms a devil's staircase structure. We show that a width of the steps becomes maximal at ferromagnetic resonance. Moreover, we demonstrate that the structure of the steps and their widths can be tuned by changing the frequency of the external magnetic field, ratio of Josephson to magnetic energy, Gilbert damping and the junction size.

Magnetization dynamics of the compensated ferrimagnet $Mn_{2}Ru_{x}Ga$
Here we study both static and time-resolved dynamic magnetic properties of the compensated ferrimagnet from room temperature down to 10K, thus crossing the magnetic compensation temperature $T_{M}$. The behaviour is analysed with a model of a simple collinear ferrimagnet with uniaxial anisotropy and site-specific gyromagnetic ratios. We find a maximum zero-applied-field resonance frequency of $\sim$160GHz and a low intrinsic Gilbert damping $\alpha$$\sim$0.02, making it a very attractive candidate for various spintronic applications.

$L^p$-theory for a fluid-structure interaction model
We consider a fluid-structure interaction model for an incompressible fluid where the elastic response of the free boundary is given by a damped Kirchhoff plate model. Utilizing the Newton polygon approach, we first prove maximal regularity in $L^p$-Sobolev spaces for a linearized version. Based on this, we show existence and uniqueness of the strong solution of the nonlinear system for small data.

Quantum optical levitation of a mirror
While the levitating mirror has seen renewed interest lately, relatively little is known about its quantum behaviour. In this paper we present a quantum theory of a one dimensional levitating mirror. The mirror forms a part of a Fabry-Perot cavity where the circulating intracavity field supports the mirror through radiation pressure alone. We find a blue and red detuned steady-state of which only the blue detuned solution with damping on the mirror and cavity is stable. We find strong entanglement (15-20 ebits) between the mirror output and cavity output and squeezing in the mirror position.

Lenard-Balescu correction to mean-field theory
In the mean-field regime, the evolution of a gas of $N$ interacting particles is governed in first approximation by a Vlasov type equation with a self-induced force field. This equation is conservative and describes return to equilibrium only in the very weak sense of Landau damping. However, the first correction to this approximation is given by the Lenard-Balescu operator, which dissipates entropy on the very long timescale $O(N)$. In this paper, we show how one can derive rigorously this correction on intermediate timescales (of order $O(N^r)$ for $r<1$), close to equilibrium.

Transport properties of spin superfluids: comparing easy-plane ferro- and antiferromagnets
We present a study on spin-superfluid transport based on an atomistic, classical spin model. Easy-plane ferro- as well as antiferromagnets are considered, which allows for a direct comparison of these two material classes based on the same model assumptions. We find a spin-superfluid transport which is robust against variations of the boundary conditions, thermal fluctuations, and dissipation modeled via Gilbert damping. Though the spin accumulations is smaller for antiferromagnets the range of the spin-superfluid transport turns out to be identical for ferro- and antiferromagnets. Finally, we calculate and explore the role of the driving frequency and especially the critical frequency, where phase slips occur and the spin accumulation breaks down.

Skin effect and excitation spectral of interacting non-Hermitian system
The non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger spinless Fermion model with interacting terms is studied by exact diagonalization. The model is derived from the spin chain with damping Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The presence of the interaction induce anomalous spectral function. The skin effect is exhibited by the non-diagonal terms of the Green's function, i.e. the spatial correlation. The interaction modifies the degeneracy between the ground state and the first excited state of the half filled systems, as well as between the ground state of the half and half plus one filled systems. The energy bands of the higher excited states within the topological regime have complicated pattern, depending on the sign and amplitude of the interaction.

Convergence of classical optimized non-overlapping Schwarz method for Helmholtz problems in closed domains
In this paper we discuss the convergence of state-of-the-art optimized Schwarz transmission conditions for Helmholtz problems defined on closed domains (i.e. setups which do not exhibit an outgoing wave condition), as commonly encountered when modeling cavities. In particular, the impact of back-propagating waves on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is analyzed. Afterwards, the performance of the well-established optimized 0th-order, evanescent modes damping, optimized 2nd-order and Pad\'e-localized square-root transmission conditions is discussed.

Blow-up of solutions to Nakao's problem via an iteration argument
In this paper, we consider blow-up behavior of weak solutions to a weakly coupled system for a semilinear damped wave equation and a semilinear wave equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$. This problem is part of the so-called Nakao's problem proposed by Professor Mitsuhiro Nakao (Kyushu University) for a critical relation between the exponents $p$ and $q$. By applying an iteration method for unbounded multipliers with a slicing procedure, we prove blow-up of weak solutions for Nakao's problem even for small data. We improve the blow-up result and upper bound estimates for lifespan comparing with the previous research, especially, in higher dimensional cases.

Classical field model for arrays of photon condensates
We introduce a classical phasor model for the description of multimode photon condensates that thermalize through repeated absorptions and reemissions by dye molecules. Thermal equilibrium is expressed through the fluctuation-dissipation relation that connects the energy damping to spontaneous emission fluctuations. We apply our model to a photonic Josephson junction (two coupled wells) and to one- and two-dimensional arrays of photon condensates. In the limit of zero pumping and cavity losses, we recover the thermal equilibrium result, but in the weakly driven-dissipative case in the canonical regime, we find suppressed density and phase fluctuations with respect to the ideal Bose gas.

Obtaining the Drude Equation for Electrons in Metals Using a Fractional Variational Principle
A fractional variational principle was derived in order to be used with lagrangians containing fractional derivatives of order 1/2. By forcing the action associated to this type of lagrangian to be stationary, a modified fractional Euler-Lagrange equation was obtained. This was shown to reproduce the equations of motion of two basic 1-dimensional energy-dissipative systems: a spring-mass system damped by friction, and a RLC circuit connected in series. Finally, by using the fractional Euler-Lagrange equation, the Drude relationship for electrons in metals was recovered when a fractional kinetic energy was taken into consideration in the electron's associated energies.

Undamped transverse electric mode in undoped two-dimensional tilted Dirac cone materials
Transverse electric (TE) modes can not propagate through the conducting solids. This is because the continuum of particle-hole excitations of conductors contaminates with the TE mode and dampes it out. But in solids hosting tilted Dirac cone (TDC) that admit a description in terms of a modified Minkowski spacetime, the new spacetime structure remedies this issue and therefore a tilted Dirac cone material (TDM) supports the propagation of an undamped TE mode which is sustained by density fluctuations. The resulting TE mode propagates at fermionic velocities which strongly confines the mode to the surface of the two-dimensional (2D) TDM.

Observability and unique continuation of the adjoint of a linearized compressible fluid-structure model in a 2d channel
Our objective is to study the observability and unique continuation property of the adjoint of a linearized compressible fluid structure interaction model in a 2D channel. Concerning the structure we will consider a damped Euler-Bernoulli beam located on a portion of the boundary. In the present article we establish an observability inequality for the adjoint of the linearized fluid structure interaction problem under consideration which in principle is equivalent with the null controllability of the linearized system. As a corollary of the derived observability inequality we also obtain a unique continuation property for the adjoint problem.

Using Dirac equation together with the Wigner distribution function,the trembling motion,known as Zitterbewegung effect,of moving electrons in quasi-one-dimensional relativistic quantum plasma is theoretically investigated.The relativistic Wigner matrix is used to calculate the mean values of the position and velocity operators for a Dirac gas of electrons.It is found that the oscillatory behavior of measurable quantities could be associated with the Zitterbewegung effect which manifests itself as a damping interference pattern stemming from mixing the positive and negative dispersion modes of Dirac particles.

Quantum Damping of Skyrmion Crystal Eigenmodes due to Spontaneous Quasiparticle Decay
The elementary excitations of skyrmion crystals experience both emergent magnetic fields and anharmonic interactions brought about by the topologically nontrivial noncollinear texture. The resulting flat bands cause strong spontaneous quasiparticle decay, dressing the eigenmodes of skyrmion crystals with a finite zero-temperature quantum lifetime. Sweeping the flat bands through the spectrum by changing the magnetic field leads to an externally controllable energy-selective magnon breakdown. In particular, we uncover that the three fundamental modes, i.e., the anticlockwise, breathing, and clockwise mode, exhibit distinct decay behavior, with the clockwise (anticlockwise) mode being the least (most) stable mode out of the three.

Spectra of Gurtin-Pipkin type of integro-differential equations and applications to waves in graded viscoelastic structures
In this paper, we study spectral properties and spectral enclosures for the Gurtin-Pipkin type of integro-differential equations in several dimensions. The analysis is based on an operator function and we consider the relation between the studied operator function and other formulations of the spectral problem. The theory is applied to wave equations with Boltzmann damping.

Efficient Linear and Unconditionally Energy Stable Schemes for the Modified Phase Field Crystal Equation
In this paper, we construct efficient schemes based on the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) block-centered finite difference method for the modified phase field crystal (MPFC) equation, which is a sixth-order nonlinear damped wave equation. The schemes are linear, conserve mass and unconditionally dissipate a pseudo energy. We prove rigorously second-order error estimates in both time and space for the phase field variable in discrete norms. We also present some numerical experiments to verify our theoretical results and demonstrate the robustness and accuracy.

Plasma echoes near stable Penrose data
In this paper we construct particular solutions to the classical Vlasov-Poisson system near stable Penrose initial data on $\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}$ that are a combination of elementary waves with arbitrarily high frequencies. These waves mutually interact giving birth, eventually, to an infinite cascade of echoes of smaller and smaller amplitude. The echo solutions do not belong to the analytic or Gevrey classes studied by Mouhot and Villani, but do, nonetheless, exhibit damping phenomena for large times.

Critical thresholds in 1D pressureless Euler-Poisson systems with varying background
The Euler Poisson equations describe important physical phenomena in many applications such as semiconductor modeling and plasma physics. This paper is to advance our understanding of critical threshold phenomena in such systems in the presence of different forces. We identify critical thresholds in two damped Euler Poisson systems, with and without alignment, both with attractive potential and spatially varying background state. For both systems, we give respective bounds for subcritical and supercritical regions in the space of initial configuration, thereby proving the existence of a critical threshold for each scenario. Key tools include comparison with auxiliary systems, phase space analysis of the transformed system.

Collective coordinate study of spin wave emission from dynamic domain wall
We study theoretically the spin wave emission from a moving domain wall in a ferromagnet. Introducing a deformation mode describing a modulation of the wall thickness in the collective coordinate description, we show that thickness variation couples to the spin wave linearly and induces spin wave emission. The dominant emitted spin wave turns out to be polarized in the out-of wall plane ($\phi$)-direction. The emission contributes to the Gilbert damping parameter proportional to $\hbar\omega_\phi/K$, the ratio of the angular frequency $\omega_\phi$ of $\phi$ and the easy-axis anisotropy energy $K$.

Reinforcement Learning Approach to Vibration Compensation for Dynamic Feed Drive Systems
Vibration compensation is important for many domains. For the machine tool industry it translates to higher machining precision and longer component lifetime. Current methods for vibration damping have their shortcomings (e.g. need for accurate dynamic models). In this paper we present a reinforcement learning based approach to vibration compensation applied to a machine tool axis. The work describes the problem formulation, the solution, the implementation and experiments using industrial machine tool hardware and control system.

Mode Converting Alfvén Waves from Magnetic Reconnection Enhancing the Energy Source for the Aurora Borealis
Previous studies have concluded that the Hall magnetic field structures generated during magnetic reconnection are carried away by kinetic Alfv\'{e}n waves (KAW). Here we apply a kinetic simulation with an ion/electron mass ratio closer to its natural value and find that much-reduced damping rates permit the KAW to convert into shear Alfv\'{e}n waves (SAW). For magnetotail reconnection these SAW provides efficient transport of wave energy, enhancing the energy input for the Aurora Borealis by orders of magnitude above previous estimates.

Torque-induced dispersive readout in a weakly coupled hybrid system
We propose a quantum state readout mechanism of a weakly coupled qubit in dispersive regime. The hybrid system consists of ferromagnetic insulator and a superconducting qubit in a microwave cavity. The enhancement of the measurement sensitivity is achieved by exerting torque on the ferromagnetic insulator magnetization, which compensates the damping of the system leading to an exceptional point. The proposed machanism allows to measure the qubit state either via the transmission of the cavity or the FMR signal of the magnetic material.

Collective excitations in biased bilayer graphene: Temperature effects
We have studied the temperature effect on collective excitations in biased bilayer graphene within random-phase approximation. From the zeros of temperature dynamical dielectric function of the system we have found one weakly damped plasmon mode. For a given electrostatic potential bias, at low (high) temperature T the plasmon frequency changes slightly (increases remarkably) with T. We have also studied the effects of potential bias and carrier density on the plasmon frequency of the system at finite temperatures.

Blow-up and lifespan estimates for Nakao's type problem with nonlinearities of derivative type
In the present paper, we investigate blow-up and lifespan estimates for a class of semilinear hyperbolic coupled system in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geqslant 1$, which is part of the so-called Nakao's type problem weakly coupled a semilinear damped wave equation with a semilinear wave equation with nonlinearities of derivative type. By constructing two time-dependent functionals and employing an iteration method for unbounded multiplier with slicing procedure, the results of blow-up and upper bound estimates for the lifespan of energy solutions are derived. The model seems to be hyperbolic-like instead of parabolic-like. Particularly, the blow-up result for one dimensional case is optimal.

Finite time extinction for a damped nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation in the whole space
We consider a nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation set in the whole space with a single power of interaction and an external source. We first establish existence and uniqueness of the solutions and then show, in low space dimension, that the solutions vanish at a finite time. Under a smallness hypothesis of the initial data and some suitable additional assumptions on the external source, we also show that we can choose the upper bound on which time the solutions vanish.

Tuning Rules for a Class of Port-Hamiltonian Mechanical Systems
In this extended abstract, we propose a tuning approach for nonlinear mechanical systems to modify the behavior of the closed-loop system, where we are particularly interested in attenuating oscillations from the transient response. Towards this end, we inject damping into the system, and we provide two tuning methods to select the gains that are appropriate for our purposes. Furthermore, we apply these tuning rules to a 2DoF planar manipulator and present its simulation results.

An SQP method for equality constrained optimization on manifolds
We extend the class of SQP methods for equality constrained optimization to the setting of differentiable manifolds. The use of retractions and stratifications allows us to pull back the involved mappings to linear spaces. We study local quadratic convergence to minimizers. In addition we present a composite step method for globalization based on cubic regularization of the objective function and affine covariant damped Newton method for feasibility. We show transition to fast local convergence of this scheme. We test our method on equilibrium problems in finite elasticity where the stable equilibrium position of an inextensible transversely isotropic elastic rod under dead load is sought.

A minimizing-movements approach to GENERIC systems
We present a new time discretization scheme adapted to the structure of GENERIC systems. The scheme is variational in nature and is based on a conditional incremental minimization. The GENERIC structure of the scheme provides stability and convergence of the scheme. We prove that the scheme can be rigorously implemented in the case of the damped harmonic oscillator. Numerical evidence is collected, illustrating the performance of the method.

A global existence result for a semilinear wave equation with lower order terms on compact Lie groups
In this paper, we study the semilinear wave equation with lower order terms (damping and mass) and with power type nonlinearity $|u|^p$ on compact Lie groups. We will prove the global in time existence of small data solutions in the evolution energy space without requiring any lower bounds for $p>1$. In our approach, we employ some results from Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups.

In this paper, it is proposed a quantization procedure for the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frequency, time-dependent driven force, and time-dependent dissipative term. The method is based on the construction of dynamical invariants previously proposed by the authors, in which fundamental importance is given to the linear invariants of the oscillator.

Resonances in pulsatile channel flow with an elastic wall
Interactions between fluids and elastic solids are ubiquitous in application ranging from aeronautical and civil engineering to physiological flows. Here we study the pulsatile flow through a two-dimensional Starling resistor as a simple model for unsteady flow in elastic vessels. We numerically solve the equations governing the flow and the large-displacement elasticity and show that the system responds as a forced harmonic oscillator with non-conventional damping. We derive an analytical prediction for the amplitude of the oscillatory wall deformation, and thus the conditions under which resonances occur or vanish.

A mathematical walk into the paradox of Bloch oscillations
We describe mathematically the apparently paradoxical phenomenon that an electronic current in a semiconductor can flow because of collisions, and not despite them. A transport model of charge transport in a one-dimensional semiconductor crystal is considered, where each electron follows the periodic hamiltonian trajectories, determined by the semiconductor band structure, and undergoes non-elastic collisions with a phonon bath. Starting from the detailed phase-space model, a closed system of ODEs is obtained for averaged quantities. Such a simplified model is nevertheless capable of describing transient Bloch oscillations, their damping and the consequent onset of a steady current flow, which is in good agreement with the available experimental data.

Feedback control for random, linear hyperbolic balance laws
We design the controls of physical systems that are faced by uncertainties. The system dynamics are described by random hyperbolic balance laws. The control aims to steer the system to a desired state under uncertainties. We propose a control based on Lyapunov stability analysis of a suitable series expansion of the random dynamics. The control damps the impact of uncertainties exponentially fast in time. The presented approach can be applied to a large class of physical systems and random perturbations, as e.g. Gaussian processes. We illustrate the control effect on a stochastic viscoplastic material model.

Computational Semi-Discrete Optimal Transport with General Storage Fees
We propose and analyze a modified damped Newton algorithm to solve the semi-discrete optimal transport with storage fees. We prove global linear convergence for a wide range of storage fee functions, the main assumption being that each warehouse's storage costs are independent. We show that if $F$ is an arbitrary storage fee function that satisfies this independence condition then $F$ can be perturbed into a new storage fee function so that our algorithm converges. We also show that the optimizers are stable under these perturbations. Furthermore, our results come with quantitative rates.

Stabilizing entanglement in two-mode Gaussian states
We analyze the stabilizability of entangled two-mode Gaussian states in three benchmark dissipative models: local damping, dissipators engineered to preserve two-mode squeezed states, and cascaded oscillators. In the first two models, we determine principal upper bounds on the stabilizable entanglement, while in the last model, arbitrary amounts of entanglement can be stabilized. All three models exhibit a tradeoff between state entanglement and purity in the entanglement maximizing limit. Our results are derived from the Hamiltonian-independent stabilizability conditions for Gaussian systems. Here, we sharpen these conditions with respect to their applicability.

Stability results of a singular local interaction elastic/viscoelastic coupled wave equations with time delay
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the stabilization of a one-dimensional coupled wave equations with non smooth localized viscoelastic damping of Kelvin-Voigt type and localized time delay. Using a general criteria of Arendt-Batty, we show the strong stability of our system in the absence of the compactness of the resolvent. Finally, using frequency domain approach combining with a multiplier method, we prove a polynomial energy decay rate of order 1/t.

Qualitative and numerical study of the stability of a nonlinear time-delayed dispersive equation
This paper deals with the stability analysis of a nonlinear time-delayed dispersive equation of order four. First, we prove the well-posedness of the system and give some regularity results. Then, we show that the zero solution of the system exponentially converges to zero when the time tends to infinity provided that the time-delay is small and the damping term satisfies reasonable conditions. Lastly, an intensive numerical study is put forward and numerical illustrations of the stability result are provided.

Oscillations of skyrmion clusters in Co/Pt multilayer nanodots
In this work we study the oscillations of the skyrmion cores in a multilayer nanodot as a function of the number of skyrmions hosted in the system. When all the skyrmions in the nanodot have the same core radius, and after applying a perpendicular spin-polarized current, a relaxation process takes place towards an equilibrium configuration that is accompanied by coherent damped oscillations of the skyrmion cores, whose frequency depends on the number of skyrmions present in the nanodot. Additionally, we found that the oscillation frequency is directly related to the total energy of the system.

In a recent paper by B. G. da Costa {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. E 102, 062105(2020)], the phenomenological Langevin equation and the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for an inhomogeneous medium with a position-dependent particle mass and position-dependent damping coefficient have been studied. The aim of this comment is to present a microscopic derivation of the Langevin equation for such a system. It is not equivalent to that in the commented paper.

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of crystals
The local equilibrium approach previously developed by the Authors [J. Mabillard and P. Gaspard, J. Stat. Mech. (2020) 103203] for matter with broken symmetries is applied to crystalline solids. The macroscopic hydrodynamics of crystals and their local thermodynamic and transport properties are deduced from the microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics. In particular, the Green-Kubo formulas are obtained for all the transport coefficients. The eight hydrodynamic modes and their dispersion relation are studied for general and cubic crystals. In the same twenty crystallographic classes as those compatible with piezoelectricity, cross effects coupling transport between linear momentum and heat or crystalline order are shown to split the degeneracy of damping rates for modes propagating in opposite generic directions.

Time scaling and quantum speed limit in non-Hermitian Hamiltonians
We report on a time scaling technique to enhance the performances of quantum protocols in non-Hermitian systems. The considered time scaling involves no extra-couplings and yields a significant enhancement of the quantum fidelity for a comparable amount of resources. We discuss the application of this technique to quantum state transfers in 2 and 3-level open quantum systems. We derive the quantum speed limit in a system governed by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Interestingly, we show that, with an appropriate driving, the time-scaling technique preserves the optimality of the quantum speed with respect to the quantum speed limit while reducing significantly the damping of the quantum state norm.

Dynamical representations of constrained multicomponent nonlinear Schrödinger equations in arbitrary dimensions
We present new approaches for solving constrained multicomponent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in arbitrary dimensions. The idea is to introduce an artificial time and solve an extended damped second order dynamic system whose stationary solution is the solution to the time-independent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Constraints are often considered by projection onto the constraint set, here we include them explicitly into the dynamical system. We show the applicability and efficiency of the methods on examples of relevance in modern physics applications.

Analysis of a High-Dimensional Extended B92 Protocol
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two parties to establish a shared secret key that is secure against all-powerful adversaries. One such protocol named B92 is quite appealing due to its simplicity but is highly sensitive to channel noise. In this work, we investigate a high-dimensional variant of an extended version of the B92 protocol and show that it can distill a key over high noise channels. The protocol we consider requires that Alice send only three high-dimensional states and Bob only perform partial measurements. We perform an information-theoretic security analysis of our protocol and compare its key rate to that of a high-dimensional BB84 protocol over depolarization and amplitude damping channels.

Universal unitary transfer of continuous-variable quantum states into a few qubits
We present a protocol for transferring arbitrary continuous-variable quantum states into a few discrete-variable qubits and back. The protocol is deterministic and utilizes only two-mode Rabi-type interactions which are readily available in trapped-ion and superconducting circuit platforms. The inevitable errors caused by transferring an infinite-dimensional state into a finite-dimensional register are suppressed exponentially with the number of qubits. Furthermore, the encoded states exhibit robustness against noise, such as dephasing and amplitude damping, acting on the qubits. Our protocol thus provides a powerful and flexible tool for discrete-continuous hybrid quantum systems.

Global well-posedness and inviscid limits of the generalized Oldroyd type models
We obtain the global small solutions to the generalized Oldroyd-B model without damping on the stress tensor in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Our result give positive answers partially to the question proposed by Elgindi and Liu (Remark 2 in Elgindi and Liu [J Differ Equ 259:1958--1966, 2015)]. The proof relies heavily on the trick of transferring dissipation from $u$ to $\tau$, and a new commutator estimate which may be of interest for future works. Moreover, we prove a global result of inviscid limit of two dimensional Oldroyd type models in the Sobolev spaces. The convergence rate is also obtained simultaneously.

Linear stability of the Couette flow for the non-isentropic compressible fluid
We are concerned with the linear stability of the Couette flow for the non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with vanished shear viscosity in a domain $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}$. For a general initial data settled in Sobolev spaces, we obtain a Lyapunov type instability of the density, the temperature, the compressible part of the velocity field, and also obtain an inviscid damping for the incompressible part of the velocity field. Moreover, if the initial density, the initial temperature and the incompressible part of the initial velocity field satisfy some quality relation, we can prove the enhanced dissipation phenomenon for the velocity field.

The q-Levenberg-Marquardt method for unconstrained nonlinear optimization
A q-Levenberg-Marquardt method is an iterative procedure that blends a q-steepest descent and q-Gauss-Newton methods. When the current solution is far from the correct one the algorithm acts as the q-steepest descent method. Otherwise the algorithm acts as the q-Gauss-Newton method. A damping parameter is used to interpolate between these two methods. The q-parameter is used to escape from local minima and to speed up the search process near the optimal solution.

We also prove generalizations of classical results on structural damping for linear systems of differential equations.

Decoherence in the three-state quantum walk
Quantum walks are dynamic systems with a wide range of applications in quantum computation and quantum simulation of analog systems, therefore it is of common interest to understand what changes from an isolated process to one embedded in an environment. In the present work, we analyze the decoherence in a three-state uni-dimensional quantum walk. The approaches taken into consideration to account for the environment effects are phase and amplitude damping Kraus operators, unitary noise on the coin space, and broken links.

Surface-induced reduction of the switching field in nanomagnets
Magnetization reversal in a many-spin nanomagnet subjected to an rf magnetic field, on top of a DC magnetic field, is studied by numerically solving the system of coupled (damped) Landau-Lifshitz equations. It is demonstrated that spin-misalignment induced by surface anisotropy favors switching with a DC magnetic field weaker than the Stoner-Wohlfarth switching field, for optimal intensities and frequencies of the rf field.

Fine structure of current noise spectra in nanoelectromechanical resonators
We study frequency dependent noise of a suspended carbon nanotube quantum dot nanoelectromechanical resonator induced by electron-vibration coupling. By using rigorous Keldysh diagrammatic technique, we build a formal framework to connect the vibration properties and the electrical measurement. We find that the noise power spectrum has a narrow resonant peak at the frequency of vibrational modes. This fine structure feature disappears due to a coherent cancellation effect when tuning tunneling barriers to a symmetric point. We note that measuring the electrical current noise spectra provides an alternative and ultra-sensitive detection method for determining the damping and dephasing of the quantum vibration modes.

Approximating Invertible Maps by Recovery Channels: Optimality and an Application to Non-Markovian Dynamics
We investigate the problem of reversing quantum dynamics, specifically via optimal Petz recovery maps. We focus on typical decoherence channels, such as dephasing, depolarizing and amplitude damping. We illustrate how well a physically implementable recovery map simulates an inverse evolution. We extend this idea to explore the use of recovery maps as an approximation of inverse maps, and apply it in the context of non-Markovian dynamics. We show how this strategy attenuates non-Markovian effects, such as the backflow of information.

Traveling waves near Couette flow for the 2D Euler equation
In this paper we reveal the existence of a large family of new, nontrivial and smooth traveling waves for the 2D Euler equation at an arbitrarily small distance from the Couette flow in $H^s$, with $s<3/2$, at the level of the vorticity. The speed of these waves is of order 1 with respect to this distance. This result strongly contrasts with the setting of very high regularity in Gevrey spaces (see arXiv:1306.5028), where the problem exhibits an inviscid damping mechanism that leads to relaxation of perturbations back to nearby shear flows. It also complements the fact that there not exist nontrivial traveling waves in the $H^{\frac{3}{2}+}$ neighborhoods of Couette flow (see arXiv:1004.5149).

Determination of source and initial values for acoustic equations with a time-fractional attenuation
We consider the inverse problem of determining the initial states or the source term of a hyperbolic equation damped by some non-local time-fractional derivative. This framework is relevant to medical imaging such as thermoacoustic or photoacoustic tomography. We prove a stability estimate for each of these two problems, with the aid of a Carleman estimate specifically designed for the governing equation.

This relies on the spectral analysis of the corresponding coupled Schr{\"o}dinger operator on the one-dimensional cross section. We show in particular that we have a spectral gap and that the corresponding generalized eigenfunctions form a Riesz basis.

Antiferromagnetic Resonance Revisited: Dissipative Coupling without Dissipation
The antiferromagnet is a closed Hermitian system, we find that its excitations, even in the absence of dissipation, can be viewed as a non-Hermitian system with dissipative coupling. Consequently, the antiferromagnetic resonance spectrum does not show the typical level repulsion, but shows the level attraction -- a characteristic behavior often observed in non-Hermitian systems. Such behavior is because the antiferromagnetic ground state is $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric. This new understanding on antiferromagnetic resonance also explains the mysterious enhancement of antiferromagnetic damping rate. Being effectively non-Hermitian, antiferromagnetic magnons can be used for quantum entanglement generation without introducing a third party like external pumping.

Photo-induced Macro/Mesoscopic Scale Ion Segregation in Mixed-Halide Perovskites: Ring Structure and Ionic Plasma Oscillations
Contrary to the common belief that light-induced halide ion segregation in a mixed halide al-loy occurs within the illuminated area, we find that the Br ions released by light diffuse away from the area, which generates a counter-balancing Coulombic force between the anion deficit and surplus region, together resulting in a macro/mesoscopic size anion ring surrounding the center, showing a photoluminescence ring. Upon removing the illumination, the displaced anions return to the illuminated area, and the restoring force leads to a damped ultra-low-frequency oscillatory ion motion, which may be the first observation of an ionic plasma oscillation in solids.

We first give a careful spectral analysis and an appropriate decomposition of the kernel of the resolvent. As a consequence and by showing that the generalized eigenfunctions form a Riesz basis of some subspace of $L^2({\mathcal R})$, we prove that the corresponding energy decay exponentially.

The temperature dependence of the antiferromagnetic resonance in a bulk single crystal of hematite was characterized from room temperature up to the N\'eel temperature in the frequency range of 0.19-0.5 THz. From these data, the N\'eel temperature was estimated as 966 K.

Heavy-quark potential in Gribov-Zwanziger approach around deconfinement phase transition
The interaction potential between a pair of heavy quarks is calculated with resummed perturbation method in Gribov-Zwanziger approach at finite temperature. The resummed loop correction makes the potential complex. While the real part is, as expected, screened and becomes short-ranged in hot medium, the strength of the imaginary part increases with temperature and is comparable with the real part, which is very different from the previous calculation in HTL approach. This means that, both the color screening and Landau damping play important role in the dissociation of heavy flavor hadrons in hot medium.

Oscillating states of driven Langevin systems in large viscous regime
We employ an appropriate perturbative scheme in the large viscous regime to study oscillating states in driven Langevin systems. We explicitly determine oscillating state distribution of under-damped Brownian particle subjected to thermal, viscous and potential drives to linear order in anharmonic perturbation. We also evaluate various non-equilibrium observables relevant to characterize the oscillating states. We find that the effects of viscous drive on oscillating states are measurable even in the leading order and show that the thermodynamic properties of the system in these states are immensely distinct from those in equilibrium.

Modeling compressed turbulent plasma with rapid viscosity variations
We propose two-equations models in order to capture the dynamics of a turbulent plasma undergoing compression and experiencing large viscosity variations. The models account for possible relaminarization phases and rapid viscosity changes through closures dependent on the turbulent Reynolds and on the viscosity Froude numbers. These closures are determined from a data-driven approach using eddy-damped quasi normal markovian simulations. The best model is able to mimic the various self-similar regimes identified in \citet{Viciconte2018} and to recover the rapid transition limits identified by \citet{Coleman1991}.
