We study the dynamics of classical particles in different classes of spatially extended self-similar systems consisting of (i) a self-similar Lorentz billiard channel, (ii) a self-similar graph, and (iii) a master equation. In all three systems, the particles typically drift at constant velocity and spread ballistically. These transport properties are analyzed in terms of the spectral properties of the operator evolving the probability densities. For systems (i) and (ii), we explain the drift in terms of the properties of the Pollicott-Ruelle resonance spectrum and the corresponding eigenvectors.

We analyse two-dimensional Schrdinger operators with the potential| xy| p (x 2+ y 2) p/(p+ 2) where p 1 and 0. We show that there is a critical value of such that the spectrum for < crit is bounded below and purely discrete, while for > crit it is unbounded from below. In the subcritical case, we prove upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalue sums.

We consider the Tikhonov regularization method for the second-order cone complementarity problem (SOCCP) with the Cartesian P 0-property. We show that many results of the regularization method for the P 0-nonlinear complementarity problem still hold for this important class of nonmonotone SOCCP. For example, under the more general setting, every regularized problem has the unique solution, and the solution trajectory generated is bounded if the original SOCCP has a nonempty and bounded solution set. We also propose an inexact regularization algorithm by solving the sequence of regularized problems approximately with the merit function approach based on FischerBurmeister merit function, and establish the convergence result of the algorithm. Preliminary numerical results are also reported, which verify the favorable theoretical properties of the proposed method.
