Wave packet pseudomodes of variable coefficient differential operators

چکیده

The pseudospectra of non-selfadjoint linear ordinary differential operators with variable coefficients are considered. It is shown that when a certain winding number or twist condition is satisfied, closely related to Hörmander’s commutator condition for partial differential equations, 3-pseudoeigenfunctions of such operators for exponentially small values of 3 exist in the form of localized wave packets. In contrast to related results of Davies and of Dencker, Sjöstrand & Zworski, the symbol need not be smooth. Applications in fluid mechanics, non-hermitian quantum mechanics and other areas are presented with the aid of high-accuracy numerical computations.

Wave Packet Pseudomodes of Twisted Toeplitz Matrices

The pseudospectra of banded, nonsymmetric Toeplitz or circulant matrices with varying coefficients are considered. Such matrices are characterized by a symbol that depends on both position (x) and wave number (k). It is shown that when a certain winding number or twist condition is satisfied, related to Hörmander’s commutator condition for partial differential equations, ε-pseudoeigenvectors of...

Reduction Operators and Exact Solutions of Variable Coefficient Nonlinear Wave Equations with Power Nonlinearities

Reduction operators, i.e., the operators of nonclassical (or conditional) symmetry of a class of variable coefficient nonlinear wave equations with power nonlinearities, are investigated within the framework of a singular reduction operator. A classification of regular reduction operators is performed with respect to generalized extended equivalence groups. Exact solutions of some nonlinear wav...

Approximate diagonalization of variable-coefficient differential operators through similarity transformations

Approaches to approximate diagonalization of variable-coefficient differential operators using similarity transformations are presented. These diagonalization techniques are inspired by the interpretation of the Uncertainty Principle by Fefferman, known as the SAK Principle, that suggests the location of eigenfunctions of self-adjoint differential operators in phase space. The similarity transf...

Water wave packets over variable depth

In this paper we develop a higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation with variable coefficients to describe how a water wave packet will deform and eventually be destroyed as it propagates shoreward from deep to shallow water. It is well-known that in the framework of the usual nonlinear Schrodinger equation, a wave packet can only exist in deep water, more precisely when kh > 1.363 where k i...
