Boundary integral equation methods for the elastic and thermoelastic waves in three dimensions

In this paper, we consider the boundary integral equation (BIE) method for solving the exterior Neumann boundary value problems of elastic and thermoelastic waves in three dimensions based on the Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. The innovative contribution of this work lies in the proposal of the new regularized formulations for the hyper-singular boundary integral operators (BIO) associated with the time-harmonic elastic and thermoelastic wave equations. With the help of the new regularized formulations, we only need to compute the integrals with weak singularities at most in the corresponding variational forms of the boundary integral equations. The accuracy of the regularized formulations is demonstrated through numerical examples using the Galerkin boundary element method (BEM).

An accurate boundary element method for the exterior elastic scattering problem in two dimensions

This paper is concerned with a Galerkin boundary element method solving the two dimensional exterior elastic wave scattering problem. The original problem is first reduced to the so-called Burton-Miller (\cite{BM71}) boundary integral formulation, and essential mathematical features of its variational form are discussed. In numerical implementations, a newly-derived and analytically accurate regularization formula (\cite{YHX}) is employed for the numerical evaluation of hyper-singular boundary integral operator. A new computational approach is employed based on the series expansions of Hankel functions for the computation of weakly-singular boundary integral operators during the reduction of corresponding Galerkin equations into a discrete linear system. The effectiveness of proposed numerical methods is demonstrated using several numerical examples.

Inverse source problems in elastodynamics

We are concerned with time-dependent inverse source problems in elastodynamics. The source term is supposed to be the product of a spatial function and a temporal function with compact support. We present frequency-domain and time-domain approaches to show uniqueness in determining the spatial function from wave fields on a large sphere over a finite interval. Stability estimate of the temporal function from the data of one receiver and uniqueness result using partial boundary data are proved. Our arguments rely heavily on the use of the Fourier transform, which motivated inversion schemes that can be easily implemented. A Landweber iterative algorithm for recovering the spatial function and a non-iterative inversion scheme based on the uniqueness proof for recovering the temporal function are proposed. Numerical examples are demonstrated in both two and three dimensions.

Direct and Inverse Elastic Scattering From Anisotropic Media

Assume a time-harmonic elastic wave is incident onto a penetrable anisotropic body embedded into a homogeneous isotropic background medium. We propose an equivalent variational formulation in a truncated bounded domain and show the uniqueness and existence of weak solutions by applying the Fredholm alternative and using properties of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map in both two and three dimensions. The Fréchet derivative of the near-field solution operator with respect to the boundary of the scatterer is derived. As an application, we design a descent algorithm for recovering the interface from the near-field data of one or several incident directions and frequencies. Numerical examples in 2D are presented to show the validity and accuracy of our methods.

Boundary integral equation methods for the two dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem

This paper is concerned with boundary integral equation methods for solving the two-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem. We reduce the problem to three differential systems of boundary integral equations via direct and indirect approaches. Existence and uniqueness results for variational solutions of boundary integral equations equations are established. Since in all these boundary variational formulations, the hypersingular boundary integral operator associated with the time-harmonic Navier equation is a dominated integral operator, we also include a new regularization formulation for this hypersingular operator, which allows us to treat the hypersingular kernel by a wealkly singular kernel. Numerical examples are presented to verify and validate the theoretical results.

Polaronic effects in one- and two-band quantum systems

In this work we study the formation and dynamics of polarons in a system with a few impurities in a lattice immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). This system has been experimentally realized using ultracold atoms and optical lattices. Here we consider a two-band model for the impurity atoms, along with a Bogoliubov approximation for the BEC, with phonons coupled to impurities via both intra- and inter-band transitions. We decouple this Fröhlich-like term by an extended two-band Lang-Firsov polaron transformation using a variational method. The new effective Hamiltonian with two (polaron) bands differs from the original Hamiltonian by modified coherent transport, polaron energy shifts and induced long-range interaction. A Lindblad master equation approach is used to take into account residual incoherent coupling between polaron and bath. This polaronic treatment yields a renormalized inter-band relaxation rate compared to Fermi's Golden Rule. For a strongly coupled two-band Fröhlich Hamiltonian, the polaron is tightly dressed in each band and can not tunnel between them, leading to an inter-band self-trapping effect.

Stable Heteronuclear Few-Atom Bound States in Mixed Dimensions

We study few-body problems in mixed dimensions with $N \ge 2$ heavy atoms trapped individually in parallel one-dimensional tubes or two-dimensional disks, and a single light atom travels freely in three dimensions. By using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we find three- and four-body bound states for a broad region of heavy-light atom scattering length combinations. Specifically, the existence of trimer and tetramer states persist to negative scattering lengths regime, where no two-body bound state is present. These few-body bound states are analogous to the Efimov states in three dimensions, but are stable against three-body recombination due to geometric separation. In addition, we find that the binding energy of the ground trimer and tetramer state reaches its maximum value when the scattering lengths are comparable to the separation between the low-dimensional traps. This resonant behavior is a unique feature for the few-body bound states in mixed dimensions.
