Abstract
Dissipation alone can produce counterintuitive topological wave transport that is otherwise absent in a non-dissipative system. This work demonstrates the influence of dissipation on degeneracies that arise in the context of elastic wave transport. The conditions on the parameters necessary to observe non-Hermitian degeneracies in the Bloch spectrum are precisely derived. It will be shown—contrary to the expectation from singularity theory of a linear eigenvalue problem—that a proportionally damped system with commutative damping does not exhibit non-Hermitian degeneracies. The necessity of a non-commutative and non-proportional dissipation model to observe non-Hermitian degeneracies (or exceptional points) is emphasized. Non-proportional dissipation is used to induce a non-Hermitian degeneracy in a local resonance sub-Bragg bandgap of a linear chain, without using negative damping. While Bloch waves are chosen to illustrate the influence of dissipation, the results readily extend to waves in non-periodic media as well as other wave and vibration transport problems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
