Self-adjoint extensions of Dirac operators with Coulomb type singularity
Authors: Javier Duoandikoetxea,Naiara Arrizabalaga,Luis Vega
In this work we construct self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac operator associated to Hermitian matrix potentials with Coulomb decay and prove that the domain is maximal. The result is obtained by means of a Hardy-Dirac type inequality. In particular, we can work with some electromagnetic… AIP Publishing

Discrete conservation laws and the convergence of long time simulations of the mkdv equation
Authors: Luis Vega,Miguel A. Alejo,Carlos Gorria
Pseudospectral collocation methods and finite difference methods have been used for approximating an important family of soliton like solutions of the mKdV equation. These solutions present a structural instability which make difficult to approximate their evolution in long time intervals with… Elsevier BV
