Abstract:
We study the perturbation of the one-dimensional generalized relativistic harmonic oscillator (GRHO) by a Lorentz scalar delta-shaped interaction. By exactly solving the implied Dirac equation, we show that the presence of the singular potential brings about drastic changes in the structure of the energy spectrum of the system. Particularly, an apparent anomaly of doubly degenerate energy levels is noted when the strength of the local term becomes infinite and energy eigenvalues in the range are obtained for some negative values of the delta-coupling and for all settings of the oscillator parameters.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
