Linear Sigma model in the Gaussian wave functional approximation II: Analyticity of the S-matrix and the effective potential/action [PDF]
We show an explicit connection between the solution to the equations of motion in the Gaussian functional approximation and the minimum of the (Gaussian) effective potential/action of the linear $\Sigma$ model, as well as with the N/D method in ...

High-accuracy phase-field models for brittle fracture based on a new family of degradation functions [PDF]
Phase-field approaches to fracture based on energy minimization principles have been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, and are particularly well-suited for simulating crack initiation and growth in complex fracture networks.

Bounds for the functional spectrum of operators in a Hilbert space [PDF]
Let H1 and H2 be Hilbert spaces with the unit operators I1 and I2, respectively, and Ajk be bounded operators acting from Hj into Hk (j, k = 1, 2). We consider the block operator matrices A = (Ajk) and F(z) = diag (Kˆj (z)Ij ), where Kˆ1(z) and Kˆ2(z ...

Wigner distribution functions for complex dynamical systems: The emergence of the Wigner-Boltzmann equation [PDF]
The equation of motion for the reduced Wigner function of a system coupled to an external quantum system is presented for the specific case when the external quantum system can be modeled as a set of harmonic oscillators. The result is derived from the Wigner function formulation of the Feynman-Vernon influence functional theory.

Equating Visual Function Scales to Facilitate Reporting of Medicare Functional G-Code Severity/Complexity Modifiers for Low-Vision Patients [PDF]
To present a method of estimating and equating scales across functional assessment instruments that appropriately represents changes in a patient's functional ability and can be meaningfully mapped to changes in Medicare G-code severity modifiers.Previously published measures of patients' overall visual ability, estimated from low-vision patient ...
