Dimension reduction is a fundamental problem in the study of dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom. Efforts have been made to generalize the Mori-Zwanzig projection formalism, originally developed for Hamiltonian systems, to general non-Hamiltonian and dissipative systems. The difficulty lies in defining an invariant measure. Based on a recent discovery that a system defined by stochas...

We consider a class of quantum dissipative systems governed by a one parameter completely positive maps on a von-Neumann algebra. We introduce a notion of recurrent and metastable projections for the dynamics and prove that the unit operator can be decomposed into orthogonal projections where each projections are recurrent or metastable for the dynamics.

We prove exponential decay for the solution of the Schrödinger equation on a dissipative waveguide. The absorption is effective everywhere on the boundary but the geometric control condition is not satisfied. The proof relies on separation of variables and the Riesz basis property for the eigenfunctions of the transverse operator. The case where the absorption index takes negative values is als...

We provide a polynomial decay rate for the energy of the wave equation with a dissipative boundary condition in a cylindrical trapped domain. A new kind of interpolation estimate for the wave equation with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary condition is established from a construction based on a Fourier integral operator involving a good choice of weight functions.
