In this paper we establish dispersive estimates for solutions to the linear Schrödinger equation in three dimension 1 i ∂ t ψ − △ψ + V ψ = 0, ψ(s) = f (0.1) where V (t, x) is a time-dependent potential that satisfies the conditions sup t V (t, ·)

This paper concerns the orbital stability and instability of solitary waves of the system of coupling equations of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony type. By applying the abstract results of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss and detailed spectral analysis, we obtain the existence and stability of the solitary waves.

In this letter we introduce a new method to determine the radiative neutrino decay rate in the presence of a medium. Our approach is based on the generalisation of the optical theorem at finite temperature and density. Differently from previous works on this subject, our method allows to account for dispersive and dissipative electromagnetic properties of the medium. Some inconsistencies that a...

The homogeneous balance method can be used to construct exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, this method is used to construct new soliton solutions of the (3+1) Jimbo--Miwa equation.

The pointwise behavior of dispersive difference schemes for the simple wave equation in one dimension is analyzed. If the initial data are in certain Besov spaces, the scheme is shown to be pointwise unbounded. Boundedness is shown when the initial data are of bounded variation.

A general proof is given for the equality between group velocity and energy velocity for linear wave propagation in a homogeneous medium with arbitrary spatial and temporal dispersion. In the series of physics “Questions” in the American Journal of Physics, K. M. Awati and T. Howes ask for a general proof of the fact that in linear dispersive wave propagation, energy propagates at the group vel...

We formulate and solve a physically-based, phase space kinetic equation for transport in the presence of trapping. Trapping is incorporated through a waiting time distribution function. From the phase-space analysis, we obtain a generalized diffusion equation in configuration space. We analyse the impact of the waiting time distribution, and give examples that lead to dispersive or nondispersiv...

We use the available information on the ratio between the electric and magnetic proton form factors coming from recently published space-like data and from the few available time-like data. We apply a dispersive procedure on these data to evaluate the behaviour of this ratio, as a complex function, for all values of q.
