Complex WKB Analysis of a PT Symmetric Eigenvalue Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
The spectra of a particular class of PT symmetric eigenvalue problems has previously been studied, and found to have an extremely rich structure. In this paper we present an explanation for these spectral properties in terms of quantisation conditions obtained from the complex WKB method. In particular, we consider the relation of the quantisation conditions to the reality and positivity properties of the eigenvalues. The methods are also used to examine further the pattern of eigenvalue degeneracies observed by Dorey et al. in [1, 2]. E-mail: [email protected]

Some results on the symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem
The symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem (hereafter SDIEP) is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for an $n$-tuple $sigma=(1,lambda_{2},lambda_{3},ldots,lambda_{n})in mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $|lambda_{i}|leq 1,~i=1,2,ldots,n$, to be the spectrum of an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic matrix $A$. If there exists an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic ...
متن کاملOn WKB Series for the Radial Kepler Problem
We obtain the rigorous WKB expansion to all orders for the radial Kepler problem, using the residue calculus in evaluating the WKB quantization condition in terms of a complex contour integral in the complexified coordinate plane. The procedure yields the exact energy spectrum of this Schrödinger eigenvalue problem and thus resolves the controversies around the so-called ”Langer correction”. Th...

The spectrum of complex PT-symmetric potential, V (x) = igx, is known to be null. We enclose this potential in a hard-box: V (|x| ≥ 1) = ∞ and in a softbox: V (|x| ≥ 1) = 0. In the former case, we find real discrete spectrum and the exceptional points of the potential. The asymptotic eigenvalues behave as En ∼ n. The solvable purely imaginary PT-symmetric potentials vanishing asymptotically kno...

متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...
