Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, mathematical modelling is an indispensable tool for the successful description and simulation of systems in natural sciences and engineering. Within the field of theoretical physics, applications of relativity and quantum theory are at the forefront of active research and can also be combined with applied mathematics. Numerical relativity, which includes dealing with gravitational wave simulation, and quantum field theory, which describes higher order perturbative corrections of interacting particles, are utilized in  specific mathematical models of ongoing and outstanding importance. Moreover, models for global positioning systems with their engineering challenges, or simulations of elementary mechanical devices in strong gravitational fields that display unprecedented phenomena, are intriguing physical systems to model.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions on applications of relativity and quantum theory, aiming at the description and simulation of interesting physical systems in both realms.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This paper presents a quantum formulation for classical abstract dynamical systems (ADS), defined by coupled sets of first-order differential equations. They are referred to as “abstract” because their dynamical variables can be of different interrelated natures, not necessarily corresponding to physics, such as populations, socioeconomic variables, behavioral variables, etc. A classical linear Hamiltonian can be derived for ADS by using Dirac’s dynamics for singular Hamiltonian systems. Also, a corresponding first-order Schrödinger equation (which involves the existence of a system Planck constant particular of each system) can be derived from this Hamiltonian. However, Madelung’s reinterpretation of quantum mechanics, followed by the Bohm and Hiley work, produces no further information about the mathematical formulation of ADS. However, a classical quadratic Hamiltonian can also be derived for ADS, as well as a corresponding second-order Schrödinger equation. In this case, the Madelung reinterpretation of quantum mechanics provides a quantum Hamiltonian that does provide the quantum formulation for ADS, which provides new quantum variables interrelated dynamically with the classical variables. An application case is presented: the one-dimensional autonomous system given by the logistic dynamics. The differences between the classical and the quantum trajectories are highlighted in the context of this application case. Full article
