In the light front quantisation scheme initial conditions are usually provided on a single lightlike hyperplane. This, however, is insufficient to yield a unique solution of the field equations. We investigate under which additional conditions the problem of solving the field equations becomes well posed. The consequences for quantisation are studied within a Hamiltonian formulation by using the method of Faddeev and Jackiw for dealing with first-order Lagrangians. For the prototype field theory of massive scalar fields in 1+1 dimensions, we find that initial conditions for fixed light cone time {sl and} boundary conditions in the spatial variable are sufficient to yield a consistent commutator algebra. Data on a second lightlike hyperplane are not necessary. Hamiltonian and Euler-Lagrange equations of motion become equivalent; the description of the dynamics remains canonical and simple. In this way we justify the approach of discretised light cone quantisation.

There has been considerable recent interest in solving non-local equations of motion which contain an infinite number of derivatives. Here, focusing on inflation, we review how the problem can be reformulated as the question of finding solutions to a diffusion-like partial differential equation with non-linear boundary conditions. Moreover, we show that this diffusion-like equation, and hence the non-local equations, can be solved as an initial value problem once non-trivial initial data consistent with the boundary conditions is found. This is done by considering linearised equations about any field value, for which we show that obtaining solutions using the diffusion-like equation is equivalent to solving a local but infinite field cosmology. These local fields are shown to consist of at most two canonically normalized or phantom fields together with an infinite number of quintoms. We then numerically solve the diffusion-like equation for the full non-linear case for two string field theory motivated models.
We study the Schrodinger equation which comes from the paraxial approximation of the Helmholtz equation in the case where the direction of propagation is tilted with respect to the boundary of the domain. This model has been proposed in (Doumic, Golse, Sentis, CRAS, 2003). Our primary interest here is in the boundary conditions successively in a half-plane, then in a quadrant of R2. The half-plane problem has been used in (Doumic, Duboc, Golse, Sentis, JCP, to appear) to build a numerical method, which has been introduced in the HERA plateform of CEA.
We examine initial-boundary value problems for diffusion equations with distributed order time-fractional derivatives. We prove existence and uniqueness results for the weak solution to these systems, together with its continuous dependency on initial value and source term. Moreover, under suitable assumption on the source term, we establish that the solution is analytic in time.
The Initial-Boundary Value Problem for the heat equation is solved by using a new algorithm based on a random walk on heat balls. Even if it represents a sophisticated generalization of the Walk on Spheres (WOS) algorithm introduced to solve the Dirich-let problem for Laplaces equation, its implementation is rather easy. The definition of the random walk is based on a new mean value formula for the heat equation. The convergence results and numerical examples permit to emphasize the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm.
Given the Thomas-Fermi equation sqrt(x)phi=phi*(3/2), this paper changes first the dependent variable by defining y(x)=sqrt(x phi(x)). The boundary conditions require that y(x) must vanish at the origin as sqrt(x), whereas it has a fall-off behaviour at infinity proportional to the power (1/2)(1-chi) of the independent variable x, chi being a positive number. Such boundary conditions lead to a 1-parameter family of approximate solutions in the form sqrt(x) times a ratio of finite linear combinations of integer and half-odd powers of x. If chi is set equal to 3, in order to agree exactly with the asymptotic solution of Sommerfeld, explicit forms of the approximate solution are obtained for all values of x. They agree exactly with the Majorana solution at small x, and remain very close to the numerical solution for all values of x. Remarkably, without making any use of series, our approximate solutions achieve a smooth transition from small-x to large-x behaviour. Eventually, the generalized Thomas-Fermi equation that includes relativistic, non-extensive and thermal effects is studied, finding approximate solutions at small and large x for small or finite values of the physical parameters in this equation.
