Damping in quantum love affairs

In a series of recent papers we have used an operatorial technique to describe stock markets and, in a different context, love affairs and their time evolutions. The strategy proposed so far does not allow any dumping effect. In this short note we show how, within the same framework, a strictly non-periodic or quasi-periodic effect can be introduced in the model by describing in some details a linear Alice-Bob love relation with damping.
