We study the generalized eigenvalue problems (GEPs) derived from modeling the surface acoustic wave in piezoelectric materials with periodic inhomogeneity. The eigenvalues appear in the reciprocal pairs due to periodic boundary conditions in the modeling. By transforming the GEP into a T-palindromic quadratic eigenvalue problem (TPQEP), the reciprocal relationship of the eigenvalues can be maintained. In this paper, we outline four recently developed structure-preserving algorithms, SA, SDA, TSHIRA and GTSHIRA, for solving the TPQEP. Numerical comparisons on the accuracy and the computational costs of these algorithm are presented. The eigenvalues close to unit circle on the complex plane are of interest in the area of filter and sensor designs. Our numerical results show that the Arnoldi-type structure-preserving algorithms TSHIRA and GTSHIRA with re-symplectic and re-bi-isotropic processes

Results are obtained on the scattering theory for the Schrödinger equation $$i\partial _t u(t,x) = - \Delta _x u(t,x) + V(t,x)u(t,x) + F(u(t,x))$$ in spaces$L$^{$r$}($R$;$L$^{$q$}($R$^{$d$})) for a certain range of$r, q$, the so-called space-time scattering. In the linear case (i.e.$F$≡)) the relation with usual configuration space scattering is established.

A cooriented circle immersion into the plane can be extended to a stable map of the disk which is an immersion in a neighborhood of the boundary and with outward normal vector field along the boundary equal to the given coorienting normal vector field. We express the minimal number of fold components of such a stable map as a function of its number of cusps and of the normal degree of its boundary. We also show that this minimum is attained for any cooriented circle immersion of normal degree not equal to one.
