It is shown (by means of a perturbation series) that for class potentials $V(x)$ the stationary distribution solution $x(t)$ quantum Langevin equation approaches in weak-coupling limit ($f\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$) mechanical canonical displacement oscillator, subject to potential $V(x)$, if and only $E(t)$ operator version purely random Gaussian process so that, particular, higher symmetrized averages ${〈E({t}_{1})\ensuremath{\cdots}E({t}_{n})〉}_{s}$ are expressible terms pair...

It is shown that any Bäcklund transformation of a nonlinear differential equation integrable by the multichannel Schrödinger eigenvalue problem can be written in form V x = U′V - VU . This allows us to interpret formally as difference for which we immediately construct soliton solutions.

It is well known that ionized atoms cannot be both very negative and stable. The maximum ionization only one or two electrons, even for the largest atoms. reason this phenomenon examined critically it shown electrostatic considerations uncertainty principle account it. exclusion plays a crucial role. This by proving when Fermi statistics ignored, then degree of at least order $z$, nuclear charge, $z$ large.

The authors investigate bounds for various combinations of the low eigenvalues Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n $. These investigations continue and expand upon earlier work Payne, Pólya, Weinberger, Brands, Chiti, this present paper. In particular, generalize extend to n-dimensional setting Chiti examine their consequences interrelationships in detail. This includes comparing asymptotic forms as dimension n becomes large. also...

Let Ω be some domain in the hyperbolic space Hn (with n≥2), and let S1 a geodesic ball that has same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as Ω. We prove Payne-Pólya-Weinberger (PPW) conjecture for Hn, namely, second on is smaller than or equal to S1. also ratio of two eigenvalues balls decreasing function radius
