Ringhofer, Christian; Ferry, David; Kluksdahl, Norman Absorbing boundary conditions for the simulation of quantum transport phenomena. (English) Zbl 0703.35163 Transp. Theory Stat. Phys. 18, No. 3-4, 331-346 (1989). Authors’ summary: “Absorbing boundary conditions for the transport equation governing the time evolution of the Wigner distribution function are derived. Local approximations are given which can be used to simulate quantum transport phenomena numerically on a finite domain and a numerical test example is presented.” Reviewer: P.Hillion Cited in 6 Documents MSC: 35Q60 PDEs in connection with optics and electromagnetic theory 35S15 Boundary value problems for PDEs with pseudodifferential operators 81V10 Electromagnetic interaction; quantum electrodynamics 65M99 Numerical methods for partial differential equations, initial value and time-dependent initial-boundary value problems 65N99 Numerical methods for partial differential equations, boundary value problems 35G10 Initial value problems for linear higher-order PDEs 35K25 Higher-order parabolic equations Keywords:Absorbing boundary conditions; transport equation; Wigner distribution function PDF BibTeX XML Cite \textit{C.
