Limitations on the Utility of Exact Master Equations
G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
The low temperature solution of the exact master equation for an oscillator coupled to a linear passive heat bath is known to give rise to serious divergences. We now show that, ev…
Decoherence in Phase Space
M. Murakami, G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell
Much of the discussion of decoherence has been in terms of a particle moving in one dimension that is placed in an initial superposition state (a Schrödinger "cat" state) correspon…
Multi-scale Analysis of Nonlinear Equations
A. Ludu, R. F. O'Connell, J. P. Draayer
We use a multi-scale similarity analysis which gives specific relations between the velocity, amplitude and width of localized solutions of nonlinear differential equations, whose…
Solitons and wavelets: Scale analysis and bases
A. Ludu, R. F. O'Connell, J. P. Draayer
We use a one-scale similarity analysis which gives specific relations between the velocity, amplitude and width of localized solutions of nonlinear differential equations, whose ex…
