Equations of motion governing the dynamics of the exceptional points of parameterically dependent nonhermitian Hamiltonians

Equations of motion governing the dynamics of the exceptional points of parameterically dependent nonhermitian Hamiltonians

We study exceptional points (EPs) of a nonhermitian Hamiltonian $\hat{H}(\lambda,\delta)$ whose parameters $\lambda \in {\mathbb C}$ and $\delta \in {\mathbb R}$. As the real control parameter $\delta$ is varied, the $k$-th EP (or $k$-th cluster of simultaneously existing EPs) of $\hat{H}(\lambda,\delta)$ moves in the complex plane of $\lambda$ along a …
