Non-Hermitian random matrices with statistical spectral characteristics beyond the standard Ginibre ensembles have recently emerged in the description of dissipative quantum many-body systems as well as in non-ergodic wave transport in…
The distribution of the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix (or of a Hermitian matrix pencil) reveals important features of the underlying problem, whether a Hamiltonian system in physics, or a social network in behavioral sciences. However,…
Transport in a one-dimensional symmetric device can be activated by the combination of thermal noise and a bi-harmonic drive. For the study case of an overdamped Brownian particle diffusing on a periodic one-dimensional substrate, we…

The thermal fluctuation spectrum of a fluid membrane coupled harmonically to a solid support by an array of tethers is calculated. For strong tethers, this spectrum exhibits non-monotonic, anisotropic behavior with a relative maximum at a…
We study the instability of a thin membrane (of zero bending rigidity) to out-of-plane deflections, when the membrane is immersed in an inviscid fluid flow and sheds a trailing vortex-sheet wake. We solve the nonlinear eigenvalue problem…
In many dynamical probes of a quantum system, quite often multiple eigenmodes are excited. Therefore, the experimental data can be quite messy due to the mixing of different modes, as well as the background noise, despite that each mode…
In this paper, we study the convergence of the spectral embeddings obtained from the leading eigenvectors of certain similarity matrices to their population counterparts. We opt to study this convergence in a uniform (instead of average)…
The density of ions trapped in a harmonic potential in one dimension is not uniform. Consequently the eigenmodes are not phonons. We calculate the long wavelength modes in the continuum limit, and evaluate the density of states in the short…

This paper addresses the dynamics of locally-resonant sandwich beams, where multi-degree-of-freedom viscously-damped resonators are periodically distributed within the core matrix. Using an equivalent single-layer Timoshenko beam model…
Dimensionality reduction is critical for deploying dense retrieval systems at scale, yet mainstream post-hoc methods face a fundamental trade-off: principal component analysis (PCA) preserves dominant variance but underutilizes…
In this article, we introduce a general theoretical framework to analyze non-consistent approximations of the discrete eigenmodes of a self-adjoint operator. We focus in particular on the discrete eigenvalues laying in spectral gaps. We…
