Perturbation of an Eigen-Value from a Dense Point Spectrum : An Example
We study a perturbed Floquet Hamiltonian depending on a coupling
constant . The spectrum is assumed to be pure point and
dense. We pick up an eigen-value, namely , and show the
existence of a function defined on such that
for all , 0 is a point of
density for the set , and the Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation series
represents an asymptotic series for the function . All ideas
are developed and demonstrated when treating an explicit example but some of
them are expected to have an essentially wider range of application.Comment: Latex, 24 pages, 51
THE BIOMECHANIST AS EXPERT WITNESS
INTRODUCTION
There is a critical need for qualified Biomechanists in the areas of civil and criminal litigation. Currently few "true Biomechanists" work in this area. This has resulted in a vacuum of qualified personnel being filled by people who speak to biomechanical issues with little or no education, training, and experience in anatomy, kinesiology, physiology, research methods, statistics and other areas that constitute the discipline of Biomechanics. The result is that legal decisions are made based upon incorrect or inadequate information.
We suggest that as professional Biomechanists we may have a responsibility to enter this area or in our absence abdicate our role to less qualified individuals. If we as a discipline do engage this role we will upgrade the quality and truthfulness of at least a portion of the litigation process

On the energy growth of some periodically driven quantum systems with shrinking gaps in the spectrum
We consider quantum Hamiltonians of the form H(t)=H+V(t) where the spectrum
of H is semibounded and discrete, and the eigenvalues behave as E_n~n^\alpha,
with 0<\alpha<1. In particular, the gaps between successive eigenvalues decay
as n^{\alpha-1}. V(t) is supposed to be periodic, bounded, continuously
differentiable in the strong sense and such that the matrix entries with
respect to the spectral decomposition of H obey the estimate
|V(t)_{m,n}|0,
p>=1 and \gamma=(1-\alpha)/2. We show that the energy diffusion exponent can be
arbitrarily small provided p is sufficiently large and \epsilon is small
enough. More precisely, for any initial condition \Psi\in Dom(H^{1/2}), the
diffusion of energy is bounded from above as _\Psi(t)=O(t^\sigma) where
\sigma=\alpha/(2\ceil{p-1}\gamma-1/2). As an application we consider the
Hamiltonian H(t)=|p|^\alpha+\epsilon*v(\theta,t) on L^2(S^1,d\theta) which was
discussed earlier in the literature by Howland
Weakly regular Floquet Hamiltonians with pure point spectrum
We study the Floquet Hamiltonian: -i omega d/dt + H + V(t) as depending on
the parameter omega. We assume that the spectrum of H is discrete, {h_m (m =
1..infinity)}, with h_m of multiplicity M_m. and that V is an Hermitian
operator, 2pi-periodic in t. Let J > 0 and set Omega_0 = [8J/9,9J/8]. Suppose
that for some sigma > 0: sum_{m,n such that h_m > h_n} mu_{mn}(h_m -
h_n)^(-sigma) < infinity where mu_{mn} = sqrt(min{M_m,M_n)) M_m M_n. We show
that in that case there exist a suitable norm to measure the regularity of V,
denoted epsilon, and positive constants, epsilon_* & delta_*, such that: if
epsilon
|Omega_0| - delta_* epsilon and the Floquet Hamiltonian has a pure point
spectrum for all omega in Omega_infinity.Comment: 35 pages, Latex with AmsAr
