This text is a part of an unfinished project which deals with the generalized point interaction (GPI) in one dimension. We employ two natural parametrizations, which are known but have not attracted much attention, to express the resolvent of the GPI Hamiltonian as well as its spectral and scattering properties. It is also shown that the GPI yields one of the simplest models in which a non-trivial Berry phase is exhibited. Furthermore, the generalized Kronig-Penney model corresponding to the GPI is discussed. We show that there are three different types of the high-energy behaviour for the corresponding band spectrum.

The nearly analytic discrete (NAD) method is a kind of finite difference method with advantages of high accuracy and stability. Previous studies have investigated the NAD method for simulating wave propagation in the time-domain. This study applies the NAD method to solving three-dimensional (3D) acoustic wave equations in the frequency-domain. This forward modeling approach is then used as the “engine” for implementing 3D frequency-domain full waveform inversion (FWI). In the numerical modeling experiments, synthetic examples are first given to show the superiority of the NAD method in forward modeling compared with traditional finite difference methods. Synthetic 3D frequency-domain FWI experiments are then carried out to examine the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The inversion results show that the NAD method is more suitable than traditional methods, in terms of computational cost and stability, for 3D frequency-domain FWI, and represents an effective approach for inversion of subsurface model structures.

We show that there is a family Schrdinger operators with scaled potentials which approximates the '-interaction Hamiltonian in the norm-resolvent sense. This approximation, based on a formal scheme proposed by Cheon and Shigehara, has nontrivial convergence properties which are in several respects opposite to those of the Klauder phenomenon.

We consider a pair of straight adjacent quantum waveguides of constant, and in general different widths. These waveguides are coupled laterally by a pair of windows in the common boundary, not necessarily of the same length, at a distance 2l. The Hamiltonian is the respective Dirichlet Laplacian. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the discrete spectrum as the window distance tends to infinity for the generic case, i.e., for eigenvalues of the corresponding one-window problems separated from the threshold.
