Susceptibility of quasiclassical Brownian motion in harmonic nonlinear potentials
arXiv:2012.04033 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.102.062102
Abstract
This work sets the exact equations for the quasiclassical response function and susceptibility of a Brownian particle immersed in a bath of quantum harmonic oscillators driving by nonlinear harmonic potentials. A delta force perturbation gives rise to a response whose susceptibility is the combination of a linear term, own of the harmonic oscillator, plus a nonlinear one involving an integral \textcolor{black}{equation. It is provided a recursion method to find its solutions based on functional equations in the Banach space.} The ODE for the response function is a highly nonlinear damped non-autonomous Duffing equation for which the aforementioned method is used to get its solution.
