f-oscillators and nonlinear coherent states

TLDR
In this paper, an interpretation of the f-oscillator is provided as corresponding to a special nonlinearity of vibration for which the frequency of oscillation depends on the energy.
Abstract
The notion of f-oscillators generalizing q-oscillators is introduced. For classical and quantum cases, an interpretation of the f-oscillator is provided as corresponding to a special nonlinearity of vibration for which the frequency of oscillation depends on the energy. The f-coherent states (nonlinear coherent states) generalizing q-coherent states are constructed. Applied to quantum optics, photon distribution function, photon number means, and dispersions are calculated for the f-coherent states as well as the Wigner function and Q-function. As an example, it is shown how this nonlinearity may affect the Planck distribution formula.

Factorization: little or great algorithm?

TL;DR: The progress of the factorization method since the 1935 work of Dirac is briefly reviewed in this article, where the authors suggest that factorization seems an autonomous "driving force", offering substantial support to the present day Darboux and Backlund approaches.

On the quantum correction for thermodynamic equilibrium

TL;DR: In this article, the Boltzmann formula for lower temperatures has been developed for a correction term, which can be developed into a power series of h. The formula is developed for this correction by means of a probability function and the result discussed.
