نویسنده
چکیده
One of the greatest scientific achievements of physics in the 20th century is the discovery of quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger equation is the most fundamental equation in quantum mechanics describing the time-based evolution of the quantum state of a physical system. It has been found that the time-independent version of the equation can be derived from a general optimization algorithm. Instead of arguing for a new interpretation and possible deeper principle for quantum mechanics, this paper elaborates a few points of the equation as a general global optimization algorithm. Benchmarked against randomly generated hard optimization problems, this paper shows that the algorithm significantly outperformed a classic local optimization algorithm. The former found a solution in one second with a single trial better than the best one found by the latter around one hour after one hundred thousand trials.

We consider the scattering that is described by the equation (−∆ x + q(x, y) is a periodic function of y, q and f have compact supports with respect to x. We are interested in the solution satisfying the radiation condition at infinity and describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution as ǫ → 0. In addition, we find the asymptotic behavior of the scattering amplitude of the plain wave. Either...

We study the range of validity of differentiation theorems and ergodic theorems for R actions, for averages on “thick spheres” of Euclidean space.
