Bistability for asymmetric discrete random walks
We show that asymmetric time-continuous discrete random walks can display
bistability for equal values of Jauslin's shifting parameters. The bistability
becomes more pronounced at increased asymmetry parameterComment: Follow-up note to hep-th/9411026[PRE 51, 5112 (May 95)], one fig.

Supersymmetry of FRW barotropic cosmologies
Barotropic FRW cosmologies are presented from the standpoint of
nonrelativistic supersymmetry. First, we reduce the barotropic FRW system of
differential equations to simple harmonic oscillator differential equations.
Employing the factorization procedure, the solutions of the latter equations
are divided into the two classes of bosonic (nonsingular) and fermionic
(singular) cosmological solutions. We next introduce a coupling parameter
denoted by K between the two classes of solutions and obtain barotropic
cosmologies with dissipative features acting on the scale factors and spatial
curvature of the universe. The K-extended FRW equations in comoving time are
presented in explicit form in the low coupling regime. The standard barotropic
FRW cosmologies correspond to the dissipationless limit K =0Comment: 6 page
Supersymmetric free-damped oscillators: Adaptive observer estimation of the Riccati parameter
A supersymmetric class of free damped oscillators with three parameters has
been obtained in 1998 by Rosu and Reyes through the factorization of the Newton
equation. The supplementary parameter is the integration constant of the
general Riccati solution. The estimation of the latter parameter is performed
here by employing the recent adaptive observer scheme of Besancon et al., but
applied in a nonstandard form in which a time-varying quantity containing the
unknown Riccati parameter is estimated first. Results of computer simulations
are presented to illustrate the good feasibility of this approach for a case in
which the estimation is not easily accomplished by other meansComment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Barotropic FRW cosmologies with a Dirac-like parameter
Using the known connection between Schroedinger-like equations and Dirac-like
equations in the supersymmetric context, we discuss an extension of FRW
barotropic cosmologies in which a Dirac mass-like parameter is introduced. New
Hubble cosmological parameters H_K(eta) depending on the Dirac-like parameter
are plotted and compared with the standard Hubble case H_0(eta). The new
H_K(eta) are complex quantities. The imaginary part is a supersymmetric way of
introducing dissipation and instabilities in the barotropic FRW hydrodynamicsComment: 7 pages, 4 figures, accepted at MPL
Classical harmonic oscillator with Dirac-like parameters and possible applications
We obtain a class of parametric oscillation modes that we call K-modes with
damping and absorption that are connected to the classical harmonic oscillator
modes through the "supersymmetric" one-dimensional matrix procedure similar to
relationships of the same type between Dirac and Schroedinger equations in
particle physics. When a single coupling parameter, denoted by K, is used, it
characterizes both the damping and the dissipative features of these modes.
Generalizations to several K parameters are also possible and lead to
analytical results. If the problem is passed to the physical optics (and/or
acoustics) context by switching from the oscillator equation to the
corresponding Helmholtz equation, one may hope to detect the K-modes as
waveguide modes of specially designed waveguides and/or cavitiesComment: 14 pages, 9 figures, revised, accepted at J. Phys.
Riccati nonhermiticity with application to the Morse potential
A supersymmetric one-dimensional matrix procedure similar to relationships of
the same type between Dirac and Schrodinger equations in particle physics is
described at the general level. By this means we are able to introduce a
nonhermitic Hamiltonian having the imaginary part proportional to the solution
of a Riccati equation of the Witten type. The procedure is applied to the
exactly solvable Morse potential introducing in this way the corresponding
nonhermitic Morse problem. A possible application is to molecular diffraction
in evanescent waves over nanostructured surfacesComment: 8 pages, 4 figure
