Efficiently computing a few localized eigenvectors
Let $H = \triangle + V(x) : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$. I am interested in domain decomposition for an eigenproblem involving $H$.
The lowest 1000 eigenfunctions of $H$, $ \psi_i $, can ...

Density of odd and even eigenstates of an integral operator
Consider an integral operator $(Kf)(x)=\int_{-1}^{1}K(x-y)f(y)dy$, where the kernel $K(-x)=K(x)$ is an even function.
Let $\lambda_n$ be the ordered eigenvalues of $K$ and $f_n(x)$ the ...

Helmholtz equation Poynting vector integral
The Maxwell's equation for harmonic time dependent field in vacuum is
\begin{align}
\nabla \times B + i\omega E &= 0\\
\nabla \times E - i\omega B &= 0 \\
\nabla \cdot B &= 0 \\
\nabla \...

Analytic continuation of instantaneous eigenstates of a time-dependent hamiltonian
We are considering the instantaneous eigenstates of an analytically time-dependent hamiltonian and I would like to know how legitimate it is to extend them to the complex plane.
Specifically, our ...

Singular Value Decomposition of Noisy Matrices
I am an engineer who makes measurements of a variable over a grid
of, say, $m\times n$. Since these are actual measurements, the true
values are always corrupted by noise, and what I measure is a ...

Can the higher order corrections to energy be calculated the same way in degenerate perturbation theory as with non-degenerate perturbation theory?
Consider the system given by,
$$ H|n\rangle = E|n\rangle$$
where:
$H$ is the hamiltonian.
$|n\rangle$ is the eigenstate.
$E$ is the energy of the eigenstate.
Now from non-degenerate perturbation ...
