In an automatic search, we found conjectural recurrences for some sequences in the OEIS that were not previously recognized as being D-finite. In some cases, we are able to prove the conjectured recurrence. In some cases, we are not able to…
We design freeform lenses refracting an arbitrarily given incident field into a given fixed direction. In the near field case, we study the existence of lenses refracting a given bright object into a predefined image. We also analyze the…
The idea of transversality is explored in the construction of cohomology theory associated to regularized sequences of multiple products of rational functions associated to vertex algebra cohomology of codimension one foliations on complex…
We define a countable family of sequences of points in the unit square: the {\it $LS$-sequences of points \`a la Halton}. They reveal a very strange and interesting behaviour, as well as resonance phenomena, for which we have not found an…
This paper describes new, simple, recursive methods of construction for orientable sequences, i.e. periodic binary sequences in which any n-tuple occurs at most once in a period in either direction. As has been previously described, such…
We show that essentially the Fibonacci sequence is the unique binary recurrence which contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions. A criterion for general linear recurrences having infinitely many three-term arithmetic…
A lens is a single program that specifies two data transformations at once: one transformation converts data from source format to target format and a second transformation inverts the process. Over the past decade, researchers have…
For a given triangle $\triangle ABC$, we define two sequences of points on line $BC$ and provide their generalizations to real functions such that centers of circumscribed circles around $A$ and adjacent points in subsequences generate a…
Optical lenses are pervasive in various areas of sciences and technologies. It is well-known that the resolving power of a lens and thus optical systems is limited by the diffraction of light. Recently, various plasmonics and metamaterials…
A novel class of coherent nonlinear optical phenomena, involving induced transparency in quantum wells, is considered in the context of a particular application to sensitive long-wavelength infrared detection. It is shown that the strongest…
We announce a detailed numerical investigation for some class of difference schemes, which arises from Euler implicit scheme. Such schemes demonstrate unusual behavior and leads to origin of solitons. Applications to some nonlinear problems…
We introduce a new class of surfaces in Euclidean $3$-space, called surfaces of osculating circles, using the concept of osculating circle of a regular curve. These surfaces contain a uniparametric family of planar lines of curvature. In…
We introduce a novel statistical way of analyzing the projected mass distribution in galaxy lenses based solely on the angular distribution of images in quads around the lens center. The method requires the knowledge of the lens center…
The fraction of substructures required to account for anomalous flux ratios in gravitational lens systems appears to be higher than that predicted in the standard cold dark matter cosmology. We present a possible alternative route to…
A recurrence relation is said to have the Laurent property if all of its iterates are Laurent polynomials in the initial values with integer coefficients. We consider a family of nonlinear recurrences with the Laurent property, which were…
Intuitively, an envelope of a family of curves is a curve that is tangent to a member of the family at each point. Here we use envelopes of families of circles to study objects from matrix theory and hyperbolic geometry. First we explore…
There is a widespread method to represent the envelope when a given hyperplane family creates an envelope. However, one sometimes encounters cases when the widespread method fails to represent the desired envelope precisely, and is…
An exact formulation of the propagation of a monochromatic wave packet impinging upon a transparent, homogeneous, isotropic and parallel slab at oblique incidence is presented. Approximate formulas are derived for low divergence Gaussian…
We show that the closure of the value set of a real linear recurrence sequence is the union of a countable set and a finite collection of intervals. Conversely, any finite collection of closed intervals is the closure of the value set of…
Transmission through a complex network of nonlinear one-dimensional leads is discussed by extending the stationary scattering theory on quantum graphs to the nonlinear regime. We show that the existence of cycles inside the graph leads to a…
