We have carried out a microscopic study of the dynamic structure factor of liquid He across the normal-superfluid transition temperature using the path integral Monte Carlo method. The ill-posed problem of the inverse Laplace transform, from the imaginary-time intermediate scattering function to the dynamic response, is tackled by stochastic optimization. Our results show a quasiparticle peak a...

First-principle path integral Monte Carlo simulations were performed in order to analyze correlation effects in complex electron-hole plasmas, particularly with regard to the appearance of excitonic bound states. Results are discussed in relation to exciton formation in unconventional semiconductors with large electron hole mass asymmetry.

The shell-model Monte Carlo (SMMC) technique transforms the traditional nuclear shell-model problem into a path-integral over auxiliary fields. We describe below the method and its applications to four physics issues: calculations of sd-pf shell nuclei, a discussion of electron-capture rates in pf -shell nuclei, exploration of pairing correlations in unstable nuclei, and level densities in rare...

Boundary element methods are being applied with increasing frequency to time dependent problems, especially to boundary value problems for parabolic differential equations. Here we shall consider the heat equation as the prototype of such equations. Various types of integral equations arise when solving boundary value problems for the heat equation. An important one is the single layer heat pot...

1.1 INTRODUCTION This paper gives a survey on additive Schwarz methods applied to the h and p versions of the boundary element method. We consider weakly singular and hypersingular integral equations, namely the single layer potential operator and the normal derivative of the double layer potential operator. That means we have to consider weak formulations of the form

Abstract—As is known, one of the priority directions of research works of natural sciences is introduction of applied section of contemporary mathematics as approximate and numerical methods to solving integral equation into practice. We fare with the solving of integral equation while studying many phenomena of nature to whose numerically solving by the methods of quadrature are mainly applied...

We show how the induction law is correctly used in the path integral computation of the free particle propagator. The way this primary path integral example is treated in most textbooks is a little bit missleading. ⋆ e-mail: [email protected] † e-mail: [email protected] 1 The path integral quantization method was developed in detail by Feynman [1] in 1948. Feynman developed some earlier ideas...
