In this paper we present a new algorithm for multivariate interpolation of scattered data sets lying in convex domains $\Omega \subseteq \RR^N$, for any $N \geq 2$. To organize the points in a multidimensional space, we build a $kd$-tree…

Of primary interest in this paper is the numerical approximation of a time dependent fractional, in space, diffusion equation where the domain is assumed to be nonhomogeneous, having different axial diffusion coefficients. This work is…

We consider the ensemble of adjacency matrices of Erd{\H o}s-R\'enyi random graphs, i.e.\ graphs on $N$ vertices where every edge is chosen independently and with probability $p \equiv p(N)$. We rescale the matrix so that its bulk…

Within the disk model framework used to approximately describe flattened galaxies, we develop an iterative method of determining column mass density from rotation curve supplemented with isotropic velocity dispersion profile. This…

It is proposed that there exists a class of pulsars, called weak pulsars, for which the large-scale magnetosphere, and hence the gamma-ray emission, are independent of the detailed pattern of plasma production. The weak pulsar magnetosphere…

Let $G_1,..., G_n \in \Fp[X_1,...,X_m]$ be $n$ polynomials in $m$ variables over the finite field $\Fp$ of $p$ elements. A result of {\'E}. Fouvry and N. M. Katz shows that under some natural condition, for any fixed $\varepsilon$ and…

We test whether or not the orbital poles of the systems in the solar neighbourhood are isotropically distributed on the celestial sphere. The problem is plagued by the ambiguity on the position of the ascending node. Of the 95 systems…

The octonions are one of the four normed division algebras, together with the real, complex and quaternion number systems. The latter three hold a primary place in random matrix theory, where in applications to quantum physics they are…

In this paper we prove the global in time well-posedness of the following non-local diffusion equation with $\alpha \in[0,2/3)$: $$ \partial_t u = {(-\triangle)^{-1}u} \triangle u + \alpha u^2, \quad u(t=0) = u_0. $$ The initial condition…

In this paper we consider elliptical random vectors X in R^d,d>1 with stochastic representation A R U where R is a positive random radius independent of the random vector U which is uniformly distributed on the unit sphere of R^d and A is a…

A three-component Stackel model of the Galaxy, including the bulge, disk, and halo, is constructed. Parameter estimates of the potential are obtained as a result of fitting the model rotation curve to azimuthal velocities found from data on…

We present a new method to determine the probability distribution of the 3-D shapes of galaxy clusters from the 2-D images using stereology. In contrast to the conventional approach of combining different data sets (such as X-rays,…

An ensemble of random unistochastic (orthostochastic) matrices is defined by taking squared moduli of elements of random unitary (orthogonal) matrices distributed according to the Haar measure on U(N) (or O(N), respectively). An ensemble of…

For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $\Delta(A)$ denote the spread of $A$, which is the ratio of the maximum pairwise distance to the minimum pairwise distance. For a positive integer $n$, let $\gamma_d(n)$ denote the largest…

The ratio of two consecutive level spacings has emerged as a very useful metric in investigating universal features exhibited by complex spectra. It does not require the knowledge of density of states and is therefore quite convenient to…

In this article we study the Atlas model, which constitutes of Brownian particles on $ \mathbb{R} $, independent except that the Atlas (i.e., lowest ranked) particle $ X_{(1)}(t) $ receive drift $ \gamma dt $, $ \gamma\in\mathbb{R} $. For…

Let $X=(X_1,X_2, X_3)$ be a Gaussian random vector such that $X\sim \mathcal{N} (0,\Sigma)$. We consider the problem of determining the matrix $\Sigma$, up to permutation, based on the knowledge of the distribution of…

Suppose that there is a family of $n$ random points $X_v$ for $v \in V$, independently and uniformly distributed in the square $\left[-\sqrt{n}/2,\sqrt{n}/2\right]^2$ of area $n$. We do not see these points, but learn about them in one of…
