We demonstrate how sparse matrix factorizations enable one to study torsional interactions in three dimensions. In two dimensions we study the full cross-over between non-retarded and retarded interactions as a function of separation. We use constrained factorizations in order to measure the interaction of a particle with a rough dielectric surface and compare with a scaling argument.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-01-28T21:18:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "casimir interaction", "numerical studies", "dimensions", "rough dielectric surface", "study torsional interactions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0801.4385P" } } }
