Hyperbolic conservation laws with stiff source terms appear in the study of a variety of physical systems. Early work showed that the use of formally second-order accurate semi-implicit methods could lead to a substantial loss of accuracy,…
In this article dedicated to the memory of Igor D. Chueshov, I first summarize in a few words the joint results that we obtained over a period of six years regarding the long-time behavior of solutions to a class of semilinear stochastic…
This is a translation of a paper that appeared (in Russian) in Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 69, nr 2 (1949), 125-128.
We propose modification of Markovsky crypto-algorithm [2, 3, 4] on n-ary groupoids [1] that are invertible on at least one place.
In this paper, some issues concerning the Chinese remaindering representation are discussed. Some new converting methods, including an efficient probabilistic algorithm based on a recent result of von zur Gathen and Shparlinski…
These reminiscences are about the "dark ages" of algorithmic information theory in the USSR. After a great interest in this topic in 1960s and the beginning of 1970s the number of people working in this area in the USSR decreased…
Ivlev's pioneering work started in the 1970's showed a new and promissory way in the study of modal logic from the perspective of many-valued logics. Continuing our previous work on Ivlev-like non-normal modal logics with non-deterministic…
The present notes are based on a course on Cherednik algebras given by the first author at MIT in the Fall of 2009. Their goal is to give an introduction to Cherednik algebras, and to review the web of connections between them and other…
Presented here is a preliminary study of a strictly linear, discontinuous-Petrov-Galerkin scheme for the discrete-ordinates method in slab geometry. By ``linear'', we mean the discretization does not depend on the solution itself as is the…
This historical introduction is in two parts. The first is reprinted with permission from ``A century of mathematics in America, Part II,'' Hist. Math., 2, Amer. Math. Soc., 1989, pp.543-585. Virtually no change has been made to the…
Let $r_k(n)$ denote the number of representations of the positive integer $n$ as the sum of $k$ squares. In 1934, the Russian mathematician A.~I.~Popov stated, but did not rigorously prove, a beautiful series transformation involving…
Markov decision processes (MDPs) in queues and networks have been an interesting topic in many practical areas since the 1960s. This paper provides a detailed overview on this topic and tracks the evolution of many basic results. Also, this…
Recent research has indicated a substantial rise in interest in understanding Nesterov's accelerated gradient methods via their continuous-time models. However, most existing studies focus on specific classes of Nesterov's methods, which…
Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of the method, which can be classified in a variety of ways,…
This survey of some of the more topological aspects of the placement problem for complex curves in complex surfaces was originally published in L'Enseignement Mathematique 29 (1983). The present LaTeXed redaction corrects several…
This is a chiefly expository paper on the subject of the title which, in our view, has not received a detailed treatment in the literature which is commensurate with its importance. We expect the results presented here to be useful in a…
GPU computing is expected to play an integral part in all modern Exascale supercomputers. It is also expected that higher order Godunov schemes will make up about a significant fraction of the application mix on such supercomputers. It is,…
In this paper we propose a method to solve the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation based on splitting the linear part of the equation from the nonlinear part. The linear part is treated using FFTs, while the nonlinear part is approximated…
This is a draft version of an invited article for a forthcoming book `The genesis of Langlands Program', eds. Julia Mueller and Freydoon Shahidi, which will be published in the London Mathematics Society Lecture Notes Series. It gives a…
An identity by Chaundy and Bullard writes 1/(1-x)^n (n=1,2,...) as a sum of two truncated binomial series. In a paper which appeared in 2008 in Indag. Math. the authors surveyed many aspects of this identity. In the present paper we discuss…
