This article concerns the Weyl series of spectral functions associated with the Dirichlet Laplacian in a d -dimensional domain with a smooth boundary. In the case of the heat kernel, Berry and Howls predicted the asymptotic form of the Weyl series characterized by a set of parameters. Here, we concentrate on another spectral function, the (normalized) heat content. We show on several exactly solvable examples that, for even d , the same asymptotic formula is valid with different values of the parameters. The considered domains are d -dimensional balls and two limiting cases of the elliptic domain with eccentricity ε : a slightly deformed disk ( ε →0) and an extremely prolonged ellipse ( ε →1). These cases include two-dimensional domains with circular symmetry and those with only one shortest periodic orbit for the classical billiard. We also analyse the heat content for the balls in odd dimensions d for which the asymptotic form of the Weyl series changes significantly.

Exactly solvable (ES) systems are those for which the full, discrete spectrum can be solved in closed form. In this work, we argue that a moment’s representation analysis can generate these closed-form expressions for the energy in a more direct and transparent manner than the popular Nikiforov–Uvarov (NU) procedure. NU analysis strips the asymptotic form of the physical states. We retain these to generate appropriate moment equations. We show how the form of these moment equations leads to closed-form energy expressions. The wave functions can then be generated as well. Our analysis is extendable to quasi-exactly solvable systems (QES; those for which a subset of the discrete spectrum can be generated in closed form). Two formulations are presented. One of these affirms that a previously developed, general, moment quantization procedure is exact for ES and QES states. This method is referred to as the orthogonal polynomial projection quantization method. It combines moment equation representations for physical states with weighted polynomial expansions (Handy and Vrinceanu. J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 46, 135202 (2013). doi:10.1088/1751-8113/46/13/135202 ). We also show that in implementing any numerical search procedure to determine the quantum parameter regimes corresponding to ES or QES states, our procedure is more reliable (i.e., numerically stable) than using a Hill determinant formulation. We develop our formalism, demonstrate its effectiveness, and prove its equivalence to the NU approach for ES systems.

We study the survival probability of a particle diffusing in a two-dimensional domain, bounded by a smooth absorbing boundary. The short-time expansion of this quantity depends on the geometric characteristics of the boundary, whilst its long-time asymptotics is governed by the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian defined on the domain. We present a simple algorithm for calculation of the short-time expansion for an arbitrary "star-shaped" domain. The coefficients are expressed in terms of powers of boundary curvature, integrated around the circumference of the domain. Based on this expansion, we look for a Padé interpolation between the short-time and the long-time behavior of the survival probability, i.e., between geometric characteristics of the boundary and the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian.

AbstractA two component classical Coulomb system is considered, in which particles of charge +q and + 2q are constrained to lie on a circle and interact via the two-dimensional Coulomb potential. At a special value of the coupling constant the correlation functions are calculated exactly and the asymptotic form of the truncated charge-charge correlation is found to obey Jancovici's sum rule.

We consider the following singularly perturbed elliptic problem [Formula: see text] where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ3with smooth boundary, ε is a small parameter, 1 < p < ∞, ν is the outward normal of ∂Ω. We employ techniques already developed in [39] to extend their result to three-dimensional domain. More precisely, let Γ be a straight line intersecting orthogonally with ∂Ω at exactly two points and satisfying a non-degenerate condition. We establish the existence of a solution uεconcentrating along a curve [Formula: see text] near Γ, exponentially small in ε at any positive distance from the curve, provided ε is small and away from certain critical numbers. The concentrating curve [Formula: see text] will collapse to Γ as ε → 0.

SynopsisWe use a modified form of the Stieltjes inversion formula due to Atkinson together with some recent results on the asymptotic form of Titchmarch–Weyl m-functions to obtain an asymptotic expression for the spectral functions τ(t) associated with the differential equation
