Certain solutions to Harper’s equation are discrete analogues of (and approximations to) the Hermite–Gaussian functions. They are the energy eigenfunctions of a discrete algebraic analogue of the harmonic oscillator, and they lead to a definition of a discrete fractional Fourier transform (FT). The discrete fractional FT is essentially the time-evolution operator of the discrete harmonic oscill...

Here, a self-oscillating mixer is experimentally demonstrated employing both the fundamental and harmonic signals generated by the oscillator sub-circuit in the mixing process. The resulting circuit is a dual-band down-converting mixer that can operate in the C-band, or in the X-band. The oscillator uses the active super harmonic coupling to enforce the quadrature relationship of the fundamenta...

In the present paper, we study uniform approximation of bounded functions on an open subset of the Euclidean space d by means of harmonic functions arising as solutions of the classical or generalized Dirichlet problem. As a consequence of results obtained we establish a harmonic analogue of Sarason’s H + C – theorem; see e. g. [5]. We shall consider an arbitrary bounded open subset of , d ≥ 2....

Abstract. The Levi-Civita transformation is applied in the two-dimensional (2D) Dirac and Klein-Gordon (KG) equations with equal external scalar and vector potentials. The Coulomb and harmonic oscillator problems are connected via the LeviCivita transformation. These connections lead to an approach to solve the Coulomb problems using the results of the harmonic oscillator potential in the above...

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is a powerful tool for generating exactly solvable potentials departing from a given initial one. If applied to the harmonic oscillator, a family of Hamiltonians ruled by polynomial Heisenberg algebras is obtained. In this paper it will be shown that the SUSY partner Hamiltonians of the harmonic oscillator can produce evolution loops. The corresponding geometric...

We study non-Gaussianity induced by a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson with a cosine-type scalar potential. We focus on how the non-Gaussianity is affected when the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson rolls down from near the top of the scalar potential where the deviation from a quadratic potential is large. We find that the resultant non-Gaussianity is similar to that obtained in the quadratic potential...

The geometrical phase of a time-dependent singular oscillator is obtained in the framework of Gaussian wave packet. It is shown by a simple geometrical approach that the geometrical phase is connected to the classical nonadiabatic Hannay angle of the generalized Harmonic oscillator. Explicitly time-dependent problems present special difficulties in classical and quantum mechanics. However, they...

A family of quantum anharmonic oscillators is studied in any finite spatial dimension in the scheme of first quantization and the investigation of their eigenenergies is presented. The statistical properties of the calculated eigenenergies are compared with the theoretical predictions inferred from the Random Matrix theory. Conclusions are derived. 1 Motivation The quantum harmonic oscillator p...

A model of auditory grouping is described in which auditory attention plays a key role. The model is based upon an oscillatory correlation framework, in which neural oscillators representing a single perceptual stream are synchronised, and are desynchronised from oscillators representing other streams. The model suggests a mechanism by which attention can be directed to the high or low tones in...
