We study a time--space nonlocal diffusion equation driven by additive time--space white noise, where the time derivative is the Caputo derivative of order $α\in(0,2)$. The model couples local diffusion with a nonlocal convolution operator generated by a radial probability density, thus incorporating memory effects and long-range...
We consider a family of binary triangular arrays, called approval ballot triangles (ABTs), that are in bijection with totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions (TSSCPPs). These triangles correspond to a ballot process in which voters select their collection of approved candidates rather than voting for a single person. We...
In this paper, we establish the Casselman-Wallach property for homological theta lifting over archimedean local fields. As a consequence, the Euler-Poincaré characteristic is a well-defined element in the Grothendieck group of Casselman-Wallach representations. Our main tool is a corank-one parabolic stable filtration on the Weil...
The Multi-Layer Thin Films Problem is a materials science problem that aims to enhance the reflectance of a metallic substrate by designing multi-layer coatings composed of different dielectric materials and thicknesses. While previous studies on the problem mostly rely on heuristic approaches and are designed for single wavelength...
This paper is devoted to exploring a new minimax approach by introducing a characteristic mapping family which is invariant under the smooth descending flow for initial value. The minimax approach is self-contained, and its features are markedly different from standard ones, as it identifies the existence of critical points and...
The Whittle index for restless bandits (two-action semi-Markov decision processes) provides an intuitively appealing optimal policy for controlling a single generic project that can be active (engaged) or passive (rested) at each decision epoch, and which can change state while passive. It further provides a practical heuristic...
We establish a new, real-space formula for the Zak phase for one dimensional periodic Jacobi operators in terms of the Weyl $m_+$-function that does not rely on Floquet-Bloch theory. This novel representation highlights the dependence of the Zak phase on boundary terms. Moreover, we show how to recover the classical quantisation of...
We consider the inviscid Leray-$α$ equations - an inviscid nonlocal regularisation of the Euler equations. In the first part, we prove the convergence of strong solutions of the Leray-$α$ equations to strong solutions of the Euler equations in $H^s(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for $s>d/2 +1 $, $d\in \{2,3\}$, for a large class of regularising...
We introduce Grothendieck-Verdier functors between Grothendieck-Verdier, or $\ast$-autonomous, categories. Such functors are lax monoidal functors equipped with a morphism expressing compatibility with Grothendieck-Verdier duality. We show that the resulting $2$-category is $2$-equivalent to that of linearly distributive categories...
We reprise a $K_1$-valued refinement of Whitehead torsion originally studied by Gersten. We use this Gersten torsion to show that for nilpotent spaces with infinite fundamental group, any self-equivalence which acts as the identity on the fundamental group has vanishing Whitehead torsion. We find two applications of our vanishing...
We study higher limits over the centric orbit category of a fusion system realized by an amalgamated product. In so doing we provide a novel technique for studying the Diaz-Park sharpness conjecture and prove it (in the case of the cohomology Mackey functors) for all the Clelland-Parker and Parker-Stroth fusion systems. This...
Statistical data depth plays an important role in the analysis of multivariate data sets. The main outcome is a center-outward ordering of the observations that can be used both to highlight features of the underlying distribution of the data and as input to further statistical analysis. An important property of data depth is related...
The Betke-Henk-Wills conjecture provides an upper bound for the lattice point enumerator $G(K, Λ)$ of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. While the conjecture is established for orthogonal parallelotopes, its validity for general convex bodies in dimensions $d \ge 5$ remains open. In this paper, we examine the stability...
Nonclassical symmetries and reductions of polynomial equations and systems of polynomial equations are considered. It is shown that specific polynomial equations having "hidden" symmetries can be reduced to classical symmetric systems of polynomial equations by introducing a new additional variable. It has been established that...
We establish a general formula for the enclosed volume of constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in Euclidean three space with translational periods forming a lattice. The formula relates the volume to the surface area, a Wess-Zumino-Witten-type term, and a newly defined curvature term of the associated family of flat connections,...
We propose a rank-one Riemannian subspace descent algorithm for computing symmetric positive definite (SPD) solutions to nonlinear matrix equations arising in control theory, dynamic programming, and stochastic filtering. For solution matrices of size $n\times n$, standard approaches for dense matrix equations typically incur...
We prove existence and duality on a wide class of metric spaces, and uniqueness results on any connected, complete Riemannian manifold, with or without boundary, for classical Monge--Kantorovich barycenters. In particular, this is the first and only uniqueness result with no restriction on the geometry of the manifold aside from...
We consider adaptive finite element methods (AFEMs) with inexact algebraic solvers for second-order symmetric linear elliptic diffusion problems. Optimal complexity of AFEM, i.e., optimal convergence rates with respect to the overall computational cost, hinges on two requirements on the solver. First, each solver step is of linear...
This article aims to develop the uniformization and boundary theory of random infinite ideal hyperbolic polyhedra (abbr. IHP) and their dual 1-skeleton, i.e., ideal angled graphs (abbr. IAG) from multiple perspectives, including combinatorics, geometry, analysis and random walks. For unimodular random IAG, we establish an ICP analog...
This paper addresses biquadratic polynomial programming (BPP), an NP-hard optimization problem closely related to biquadratic tensors. We first establish several necessary and sufficient conditions for the positive semi-definiteness and positive definiteness of biquadratic Cauchy tensors. Leveraging the structured properties of these...
We give a self-contained and simplified presentation of the theory of covariant representations for inverse semigroup actions on Banach algebras, which was recently introduced in the authors and A. Mckee in the twisted case. The main result of this note is a general universal description of the associated Banach algebra crossed...
We prove that the inducibility of $P_4$ in ordered monotone balanced bipartite graphs is $2/e^2$, establishing the smallest known graph with transcendental Turán-type density. Moreover, the limit object is a binary graphon, so it generates a deterministic model. This is a special case of a more general framework addressed here -- the...
We give an exact characterization of monotone graph classes C with bounded average degree that satisfy the following property: The domination number of every graph from C is bounded by a linear function of its 2-independence number.
The performance of Schwarz Waveform Relaxation is critically dependent on the choice of transmission conditions. While classical absorbing conditions work well for wave propagation, they prove insufficient for damped wave equations, particularly in viscoelastic damping regimes where convergence becomes prohibitively slow. This paper...
We propose a new formulation of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) on the real line, via a gauge transform. While KdV and the gauged equation are equivalent for smooth solutions, the latter is better behaved at low regularity in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces. In particular, the admissible regularities go beyond the $H^{-1}$-scale, which...
