Zero-range potentials with Inner structure: fitting parameters for resonance scattering

The solution of the classical Fermi problem of low-energy neutron scattering by nuclei, when the excitations of the nuclei in scattering processes are taken into account, is found by the method of zero-range potentials with inner structure. This model is a generalization of the Fermi zero-range potential obtained by adding a non-trivial inner Hamiltonian and inner space with indefinite metric. We propose a general principle of analyticity of the Caley-transform of the S-scattering matrix, written as a function of wave number. This permits us to evaluate all parameters of the model, including the indefinite metric tensor of the inner space, once the spectrum of the inner Hamiltonian, the scattering length and the effective radious are chosen.

Transcending the Limits of Turing Computability

Hypercomputation or super-Turing computation is a ``computation'' that transcends the limit imposed by Turing's model of computability. The field still faces some basic questions, technical (can we mathematically and/or physically build a hypercomputer?), cognitive (can hypercomputers realize the AI dream?), philosophical (is thinking more than computing?). The aim of this paper is to address the question: can we mathematically build a hypercomputer? We will discuss the solutions of the Infinite Merchant Problem, a decision problem equivalent to the Halting Problem, based on results obtained in \cite{Coins,acp}. The accent will be on the new computational technique and results rather than formal proofs.
