The -index of graphs without intersecting triangles/quadrangles as a minor
The -matrix of a graph is the convex linear combination of
the adjacency matrix and the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees ,
i.e., , where . The -index of is the largest eigenvalue of .
Particularly, the matrix (resp. ) is exactly the
adjacency matrix (resp. signless Laplacian matrix) of . He, Li and Feng
[arXiv:2301.06008 (2023)] determined the extremal graphs with maximum adjacency
spectral radius among all graphs of sufficiently large order without
intersecting triangles and quadrangles as a minor, respectively. Motivated by
the above results of He, Li and Feng, in this paper we characterize the
extremal graphs with maximum -index among all graphs of sufficiently
large order without intersecting triangles and quadrangles as a minor for any
, respectively. As by-products, we determine the extremal graphs
with maximum signless Laplacian radius among all graphs of sufficiently large
order without intersecting triangles and quadrangles as a minor, respectively.Comment: 15 page
Dissipative Effects on Quantum Sticking
Using variational mean-field theory, many-body dissipative effects on the
threshold law for quantum sticking and reflection of neutral and charged
particles are examined. For the case of an ohmic bosonic bath, we study the
effects of the infrared divergence on the probability of sticking and obtain a
non-perturbative expression for the sticking rate. We find that for weak
dissipative coupling , the low energy threshold laws for quantum
sticking are modified by an infrared singularity in the bath. The sticking
probability for a neutral particle with incident energy behaves
asymptotically as ; for a charged
particle, we obtain . Thus, "quantum
mirrors" --surfaces that become perfectly reflective to particles with incident
energies asymptotically approaching zero-- can also exist for charged
particles.Comment: 10 pages, 0 fig
