We compare four different plane-wave approximations for scattering by short-range potentials. These four are the first and second Born approximations, the plane-wave Schwinger approximation and a restricted form of Ford's renormalized Born approximation. For the Yukawa and Gaussian potentials, the differential and total cross sections are calculated in the energy range [Formula: see text] (arbitrary units) and for dimensionless coupling constants ranging between 0.1 and 10. The first Born and renormalized Born are 'first-order' approximations, requiring an order of magnitude less calculational labor than the second Born and Schwinger approximations. The results suggest that the restricted renormalized Born approximation is rarely better than the ordinary first Born approximation. The Schwinger plane-wave approximation is always better than the second Born approximation and since these two involve the evaluation of identical expressions, the Schwinger approximation is always to be preferred over the second Born. The Schwinger plane-wave approximation gives quite consistently the best results of the four methods considered, but even it is not be be trusted for calculating differential cross sections at large angles or for reproducing "resonance structure" in total cross sections.

The hydrodynamic forces acting on an isolated body could be considerably different than those when it is considered in an array of multiple bodies, due to wave interactions among them. In this context, we present in this paper a numerical approach based on the linear potential flow theory to solve full hydrodynamic interaction problem in a multiple body array. In contrast to the previous approaches that considered all bodies in an array as a single unit, the present approach relies on solving for an isolated body. The interactions among the bodies are then taken into account via plane wave approximation in an iterative manner. The boundary value problem corresponding to a isolated body is solved by the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The approach is useful when the bodies are sufficiently distant from each other, at-least greater than five times the characteristic dimensions of the body. This is a valid assumption for wave energy converter devices array of point absorber type, which is our target application at a later stage. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the computational time requirement is significantly less than the commonly used direct BEM. The time savings can be realized for even small arrays consisting of four bodies. Another advantage is that the computer memory requirements are also significantly smaller compared to the direct BEM, allowing us to consider large arrays. The numerical results for hydrodynamic interaction problem in two arrays consisting of 25 cylinders and same number of rectangular flaps are presented to validate the proposed approach.

Abstract In this article, we provide a priori estimates for a perturbation-based post-processing method of the plane-wave approximation of nonlinear Kohn–Sham local density approximation (LDA) models with pseudopotentials, relying on Cancès et al. (2020, Post-processing of the plane-wave approximation of Schrödinger equations. Part I: linear operators. IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, draa044) for the proofs of such estimates in the case of linear Schrödinger equations. As in Cancès et al. (2016, A perturbation-method-based post-processing for the plane-wave discretization of Kohn–Sham models. J. Comput. Phys., 307, 446–459), where these a priori results were announced and tested numerically, we use a periodic setting and the problem is discretized with plane waves (Fourier series). This post-processing method consists of performing a full computation in a coarse plane-wave basis and then to compute corrections based on the first-order perturbation theory in a fine basis, which numerically only requires the computation of the residuals of the ground-state orbitals in the fine basis. We show that this procedure asymptotically improves the accuracy of two quantities of interest: the ground-state density matrix, i.e. the orthogonal projector on the lowest $N$ eigenvectors, and the ground-state energy.

AbstractQuantum correlations provide a fertile testing ground for investigating fundamental aspects of quantum physics in various systems, especially in the case of relativistic (elementary) particle systems as neutrinos. In a recent paper, Ming et al. (Eur Phys J C 80:275, 2020), in connection with results of Daya-Bay and MINOS experiments, have studied the quantumness in neutrino oscillations in the framework of plane-wave approximation. We extend their treatment by adopting the wave packet approach that accounts for effects due to localization and decoherence. This leads to a better agreement with experimental results, in particular for the case of MINOS experiment.
