Hamiltonian matrices appear in a variety or problems in physics and engineering, mostly related to the time evolution of linear dynamical systems as for instance in ion beam optics. The time evolution is given by symplectic transfer matrices which are the exponentials of the corresponding Hamiltonian matrices. We describe a method to compute analytic formulas for the matrix exponentials of Hamiltonian matrices of dimensions $4times 4$ and $6times 6$. The method is based on the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and the Faddeev-LeVerrier method to compute the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial. The presented method is extended to the solutions of $2,ntimes 2,n$-matrices when the roots of the characteristic polynomials are computed numerically. The main advantage of this method is a speedup for cases in which the exponential has to be computed for a number of different points in time or positions along the beamline.

Anisotropy is one factor that appears to be significantly important in the studies of relativistic compact stars. In this paper, we make a generalization of the Buchdahl limit by incorporating an anisotropic effect for a selected class of exact solutions describing anisotropic stellar objects. In the isotropic case of a homogeneous distribution, we regain the Buchdahl limit $2M/R leq 8/9$. Our investigation shows a direct link between the maximum allowed compactness and pressure anisotropy vi-a-vis geometry of the associated $3$-space.
The cosmological scale factor $a(t)$ of the flat-space Robertson-Walker geometry is examined from a Hamiltonian perspective wherein $a(t)$ is interpreted as an independent dynamical coordinate and the curvature density $sqrt {- g(a)} R({a,dot a,ddot a})$ is regarded as an action density in Minkowski spacetime. The resulting Hamiltonian for $a(t)$ is just the first Friedmann equation of the traditional approach (i.e. the Robertson-Walker cosmology of General Relativity), as might be expected. The utility of this approach however stems from the fact that each of the terms matter, radiation, and vacuum, and including the kinetic / gravitational field term, are formally energy densities, and the equation as a whole becomes a formal statement of energy conservation. An advantage of this approach is that it facilitates an intuitive understanding of energy balance and exchange on the cosmological scale that is otherwise absent in the traditional presentation. Each coordinate system has its own internally consistent explanation for how energy balance is achieved. For example, in the spacetime with line element $ds^2 = dt^2 - a^2(t) d{bf{x}}^2$, cosmological red-shift emerges as due to a post-recombination interaction between the scalar field $a(t)$ and the EM fields in which the latter loose energy as if propagating through a homogeneous lossy medium, with the energy lost to the scale factor helping drive the cosmological expansion.
We present a novel methodology based on a Taylor expansion of the network output for obtaining analytical expressions for the expected value of the network weights and output under stochastic training. Using these analytical expressions the effects of the hyperparameters and the noise variance of the optimization algorithm on the performance of the deep neural network are studied. In the early phases of training with a small noise coefficient, the output is equivalent to a linear model. In this case the network can generalize better due to the noise preventing the output from fully converging on the train data, however the noise does not result in any explicit regularization. In the later training stages, when higher order approximations are required, the impact of the noise becomes more significant, i.e. in a model which is non-linear in the weights noise can regularize the output function resulting in better generalization as witnessed by its influence on the weight Hessian, a commonly used metric for generalization capabilities.
In the oscillation spectra of giant stars, nonradial modes may be seen to undergo avoided crossings, which produce a characteristic mode bumping of the otherwise uniform asymptotic p- and g-mode patterns in their respective echelle diagrams. Avoided crossings evolve very quickly relative to typical observational errors, and are therefore extremely useful in determining precise ages of stars, particularly in subgiants. This phenomenon is caused by coupling between modes in the p- and g-mode cavities that are near resonance with each other. Most theoretical analyses of the coupling between these mode cavities rely on the JWKB approach, which is strictly speaking inapplicable for the low-order g-modes observed in subgiants, or the low-order p-modes seen in very evolved red giants. We present both a nonasymptotic prescription for isolating the two mode cavities, as well as a perturbative (and also nonasymptotic) description of the coupling between them, which we show to hold good for the low-order g- and p-modes in these physical situations. Finally, we discuss how these results may be applied to modelling subgiant stars and determining their global properties from oscillation frequencies. We also make our code for all of these computations publicly available.
In this work, we elucidate the mathematical structure of the integral that arises when computing the electron-ion temperature equilibration time for a homogeneous weakly-coupled plasma from the Lenard-Balescu equation. With some minor approximations, we derive an exact formula, requiring no input Coulomb logarithm, for the equilibration rate that is valid for moderate electron-ion temperature ratios and arbitrary electron degeneracy. For large temperature ratios, we derive the necessary correction to account for the coupled-mode effect, which can be evaluated very efficiently using ordinary Gaussian quadrature.
