A hybrid method integrating Green's function Monte Carlo and projected entangled pair states

This paper introduces a hybrid approach combining Green’s function Monte Carlo(GFMC)method with projected entangled pair state(PEPS)ansatz.This hybrid method regards PEPS as a trial state and a guiding wave function in GFMC.By leveraging PEPS’s proficiency in capturing quantum state entanglement and GFMC’s efficient parallel architecture,the hybrid method is well-suited for the accurate and efficient treatment of frustrated quantum spin systems.As a benchmark,we applied this approach to study the frustrated J_(1)–J_(2) Heisenberg model on a square lattice with periodic boundary conditions(PBCs).Compared with other numerical methods,our approach integrating PEPS and GFMC shows competitive accuracy in the performance of ground-state energy.This paper provides systematic and comprehensive discussion of the approach of our previous work[Phys.Rev.B 109235133(2024)].

Implementation of the Integrated Green’s Function Method for 3D Poisson’s Equation in a Large Aspect Ratio Computational Domain

The solution of Poisson’s Equation plays an important role in many areas, including modeling high-intensity and high-brightness beams in particle accelerators. For the computational domain with a large aspect ratio, the integrated Green’s function method has been adopted to solve the 3D Poisson equation subject to open boundary conditions. In this paper, we report on the efficient implementation of this method, which can save more than a factor of 50 computing time compared with the direct brute force implementation and its improvement under certain extreme conditions.

Green's functions for uniformly distributed loads acting on an inclined line in a poroelastic layered site

Based on one type of practical Biot＇s equation and the dynamic-stiffness matrices ofa poroelastic soil layer and half-space, Green＇s functions were derived for unitformly distributed loads acting on an inclined line in a poroelastie layered site. This analysis overcomes significant problems in wave scattering due to local soil conditions and dynamic soil-structure interaction. The Green＇s functions can be reduced to the case of an elastic layered site developed by Wolf in 1985. Parametric studies are then carried out through two example problems.

In-plane dynamic Green's functions for inclined and uniformly distributed loads in a multi-layered transversely isotropic half-space

The dynamic stiffness method combined with the Fourier transform is utilized to derive the in-plane Green’s functions for inclined and uniformly distributed loads in a multi-layered transversely isotropic（TI）half-space.The loaded layer is fixed to obtain solutions restricted in it and the corresponding reactions forces,which are then applied to the total system with the opposite sign.By adding solutions restricted in the loaded layer to solutions from the reaction forces,the global solutions in the wavenumber domain are obtained,and the dynamic Green’s functions in the space domain are recovered by the inverse Fourier transform.The presented formulations can be reduced to the isotropic case developed by Wolf（1985）,and are further verified by comparisons with existing solutions in a uniform isotropic as well as a layered TI halfspace subjected to horizontally distributed loads which are special cases of the more general problem addressed.The deduced Green’s functions,in conjunction with boundary element methods,will lead to significant advances in the investigation of a variety of wave scattering,wave radiation and soil-structure interaction problems in a layered TI site.Selected numerical results are given to investigate the influence of material anisotropy,frequency of excitation,inclination angle and layered on the responses of displacement and stress,and some conclusions are drawn.

TIME-HARMONIC DYNAMIC GREEN'S FUNCTIONS FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL HEXAGONAL QUASICRYSTALS

Quasicrystals have additional phason degrees of freedom not found in conventional crystals. In this paper, we present an exact solution for time-harmonic dynamic Green＇s function of one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with the Laue classes 6/mh and 6/mhmm. Through the introduction of two new functions φ and ψ, the original problem is reduced to the determination of Green＇s functions for two independent Helmholtz equations. The explicit expressions of displacement and stress fields are presented and their asymptotic behaviors are discussed. The static Green＇s function can be obtained by letting the circular frequency approach zero.

Decoupling coefficients of dilatational wave for Biot's dynamic equation and its Green's functions in frequency domain

Green＇s functions for Blot＇s dynamic equation in the frequency domain can be a highly useful tool for the investigation of dynamic responses of a saturated porous medium. Its applications are found in soil dynamics, seismology, earthquake engineering, rock mechanics, geophysics, and acoustics. However, the mathematical work for deriving it can be daunting. Green＇s functions have been presented utilizing an analogy between the dynamic thermoelasticity and the dynamic poroelasticity in the frequency domain using the u-p formulation. In this work, a special term ＂decoupling coefficient＂ for the decomposition of the fast and slow dilatational waves is proposed and expressed to present a new methodology for deriving the poroelastodynamic Green＇s functions. The correct- ness of the solution is demonstrated by numerically comparing the current solution with Cheng＇s previous solution. The separation of the two waves in the present methodology allows the more accurate evaluation of Green＇s functions, particularly the solution of the slow dilatational wave. This can be advantageous for the numerical implementation of the boundary element method （BEM） and other applications.

Comprehensive form of solution for Lamb's dynamic problem expressed by Green's functions

By the analysis for the vectors of a wave field in the cylindrical coordinate and Sommerfeld＇s identity as well as Green＇s functions of Stokes＇ solution pertaining the conventional elastic dynamic equation, the results of Green＇s function in an infinite space of an axisymmetric coordinate are shown in this paper. After employing a supplementary influence field and the boundary conditions in the free surface of a senti-space, the authors obtain the solutions of Green＇s function for Lamb＇s dynamic problem. Besides, the vertical displacement uzz and the radial displacement urz can match Lamb＇s previous results, and the solutions of the linear expansion source u^r and the linear torsional source uee are also given in the paper. The authors reveal that Green＇s function of Stokes＇ solution in the semi-space is a comprehensive form of solution expressing the dynamic Lamb＇s problem for various situations. It may benefit the investigation of deepening and development of Lamb＇s problems and solution for pertinent dynamic problems conveniently.

Green's functions of two-dimensional piezoelectric quasicrystal in half-space and bimaterials

In this paper,we obtain Green’s functions of two-dimensional(2D)piezoelectric quasicrystal(PQC)in half-space and bimaterials.Based on the elastic theory of QCs,the Stroh formalism is used to derive the general solutions of displacements and stresses.Then,we obtain the analytical solutions of half-space and bimaterial Green’s functions.Besides,the interfacial Green’s function for bimaterials is also obtained in the analytical form.Before numerical studies,a comparative study is carried out to validate the present solutions.Typical numerical examples are performed to investigate the effects of multi-physics loadings such as the line force,the line dislocation,the line charge,and the phason line force.As a result,the coupling effect among the phonon field,the phason field,and the electric field is prominent,and the butterfly-shaped contours are characteristic in 2D PQCs.In addition,the changes of material parameters cause variations in physical quantities to a certain degree.

Study on the 3D Green＇s functions of the fluid and piezoelectric bimaterials

Because most piezoelectric devices have interfaces with fluid in engineering, it is valuable to study the coupled field between fluid and piezoelectric media. As the fundamental problem, the 3D Green＇s functions for point forces and point charge loaded in the fluid and piezoelectric bimaterials are studied in this paper. Based on the 3D general solutions expressed by harmonic functions, we constructed the suitable harmonic functions with undetermined constants at first. Then, the couple field in the fluid and piezoelectric bimaterials can be derived by substitution of harmonic functions into general solutions. These constants can be obtained by virtue of the compatibility, boundary, and equilibrium conditions. At last, the characteristics of the electromechanical coupled fields are shown by numerical results.

Spectral Theorem of Many-Body Green's Functions When Complex Eigenvalues Appear

In this paper, an extended spectral theorem is given, which enables one to calculate the correlation functions when complex eigenvalues appear. To do so, a Fourier transformation with a complex argument is utilized. We treat all the Matsbara frequencies, including Fermionic and Bosonic frequencies, on an equal footing. It is pointed out that when complex eigenvalues appear, the dissipation of a system cannot simply be ascribed to the pure imaginary part of the Green function. Therefore, the use of the name fluctuation-dissipation theorem should be careful.

Asymmetric Green's functions for exponentially graded transversely isotropic substrate–coating system

By virtue of a complete set of two displacement potentials,an analytical derivation of the elastostatic Green’s functions of an exponentially graded transversely isotropic substrate–coating system is presented.Three-dimensional point–load and patch–load Green’s functions for stresses and displacements are given in line-integral representations.The formulation includes a complete set of transformed stress–potential and displacement–potential relations,with utilizing Fourier series and Hankel transforms.As illustrations,the present Green’s functions are degenerated to the special cases such as an exponentially graded half-space and a homogeneous two-layered half-space Green’s functions.Because of complicated integrand functions,the integrals are evaluated numerically and for numerical computation of the integrals,a robust and effective methodology is laid out which gives the necessary account of the presence of singularities of integration.Comparisons of the existing numerical solutions for homogeneous two-layered isotropic and transversely isotropic half-spaces are made to confirm the accuracy of the present solutions.Some typical numerical examples are also given to show the general features of the exponentially graded two-layered half-space Green’s functions that the effect of degree of variation of material properties will be recognized.

Controllable precision of the projective truncation approximation for Green's functions

Recently, we developed the projective truncation approximation for the equation of motion of two-time Green's functions(Fan et al., Phys. Rev. B 97, 165140(2018)). In that approximation, the precision of results depends on the selection of operator basis. Here, for three successively larger operator bases, we calculate the local static averages and the impurity density of states of the single-band Anderson impurity model. The results converge systematically towards those of numerical renormalization group as the basis size is enlarged. We also propose a quantitative gauge of the truncation error within this method and demonstrate its usefulness using the Hubbard-I basis. We thus confirm that the projective truncation approximation is a method of controllable precision for quantum many-body systems.

Spectral-domain dyadic Green’s functions in chiral media

A novel method of deriving the electromagnetic dyadic Green＇s functions in an unbounded, lossless, reciprocal and homogeneous chiral media described by the constitutive relations D = εE ＋ jγB and H = jγE ＋ μ^-1B - （ωε）^-1γJ is given. The divergenceless and irrotational splitting of dyadic Dirac 8 function and Fourier transformation are used to directly obtain the divergenceless and irrotational component of spectral-domain dyadic Green＇s functions in chiral media. This method avoids using the dyadic Green＇s function eigenfunction expansion technique. The method given here can be generalized to a source-free region and an achiral case.

Some Universal Properties of the Green’s Functions Associated with the Wave Equation in Bounded Partially-Homogeneous Domains and Their Use in Acoustic Tomography

Direct and inverse scattering problems connected with the wave equation in non-homogeneous bounded domains constitute challenging actual subjects for both mathematicians and engineers. Among them one can mention, for example, inverse source problems in seismology, nondestructive archeological probing, mine prospecting, inverse initial-value problems in acoustic tomography, etc. In spite of its crucial importance, almost all of the available rigorous investigations concern the case of unbounded simple domains such as layered planar or cylindrical or spherical structures. The main reason for the lack of the works related to non-homogeneous bounded structures is the extreme complexity of the explicit expressions of the Green’s functions. The aim of the present work consists in discovering some universal properties of the Green’s functions in question, which reduce enormously the difficulties arising in various applications. The universality mentioned here means that the properties are not depend on the geometrical and physical properties of the configuration. To this end one considers first the case when the domain is partially-homogeneous. Then the results are generalized to the most general case. To show the importance of the universal properties in question, they are applied to an inverse initial-value problem connected with photo-acoustic tomography.

One test problem is presented and errors plots show the efficiency of the proposed technique for the studied problem.

Quasi-Dynamic Green’s Functions for Efficient Full-Wave Integral Formulations for Microstrip Interconnects

Integral formulations are widely used for full-wave analysis of microstrip interconnects. A weak point of these formulations is the inclusion of the proper planar-layered Green’s Functions (GFs), because of their computational cost. To overcome this problem, usually the GFs are decomposed into a quasi-dynamic term and a dynamic one. Under suitable approximations, the ?rst may be given in closed form, whereas the second is approximated. Starting from a general criterion for this decomposition, in this paper we derive some simple criteria for using the closed-form quasi-dynamic GFs instead of the complete GFs, with reference to the problem of evaluating the full-wave current distribution along microstrips. These criteria are based on simple relations between frequency, line length, dielectric thickness and permittivity. The layered GFs have been embedded into a full-wave transmission line model and the results are ?rst benchmarked with respect to a full-wave numerical 3D tool, then used to assess the proposed criteria.

A Semi-Analytical Approach to Green＇s Functions for Problems in Multiply-Connected Regions on a Spherical Surface

This work aims at potential fields generated by point sources in conductive perforated fragments of spherical shells. Such fields are interpreted as profiles of Green＇s functions of relevant boundary-value problems stated in multiply-connected regions for Laplace equation written in geographical coordinates. Those are efficiently computed by a modification of the method of functional equations, with closed analytical forms preliminary obtained for Green＇s functions for the corresponding simply-connected regions.

Singularity-free Green's function for EM sources embedded in a stratified medium

We present a method to unify the calculation of Green＇s functions for an electromagnetic（EM） transmitting source embedded in a homogeneous stratified medium.A virtual interface parallel to layer interfaces is introduced through the source location.The potentials for Green＇s function are derived by decomposing the partial wave solutions to Helmholtz＇s equations into upward and downward within boundaries.The amplitudes of the potentials in each stratum are obtained recursively from the initial amplitudes at the source level.The initial amplitudes are derived by coupling with the transmitting sources and following the discontinuity of the tangential electric and magnetic fields at the source interface.Only the initial terms are related to the transmitting sources and thus need to be modified for different transmitters,whereas the kernel connected with the stratified media stays unchanged.Hence,the present method can be easily applied to EM transmitting sources with little modification.The application of the proposed method to the marine controlled-source electromagnetic method（MCSEM） demonstrates its simplicity and flexibility.

The Green's function of the harmonic horizontal force applied at the interior of the saturated half-space soil

By using integral transform methods, the Green(s functions of horizontal harmonic force applied at the interior of the saturated half-space soil are obtained in the paper. The general solutions of the Biot dynamic equations in frequency domain are established through the use of Hankel integral transforms technique. Utilizing the above- mentioned general solutions, and the boundary conditions of the surface of the half-space and the continuous conditions at the plane of the horizontal force, the solutions of the boundary value problem can be determined. By the numerical inverse Hankel transforms method, the Green(s functions of the harmonic horizontal force are obtainable. The degenerate case of the results deduced from this paper agrees well with the known results. Two numerical examples are given in the paper.
