In his classical work, W. Blaschke proved that a convex body whose shadow boundaries are flat for every direction of parallel illumination must be an ellipsoid. An extension recently proposed by I. Gonzalez-Garc\'ia, J. Jer\'onimo-Castro,…

We introduce a model of infinite horizon linear dynamic optimization with linear constraints and obtain results concerning feasibility of trajectories and optimal solutions necessarily satisfying conditions that resemble the Euler condition…

This study derives geometric, variational discretizations of continuum theories arising in fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and the dynamics of complex fluids. A central role in these discretizations is played by the geometric…

We focus on the presence of almost automorphy in strongly monotone skew-product semiflows on Banach spaces. Under the $C^1$-smoothness assumption, it is shown that any linearly stable minimal set must be almost automorphic. This extends the…

A methodology on making the variational principle well-posed in degenerate systems is constructed. In the systems including higher-order time derivative terms being compatible with Newtonian dynamics, we show that a set of position…

There may be structural principles pertaining to the general behavior of systems that lead to similarities in a variety of different contexts. Classic examples include the descriptive power of fractals, the importance of surface area to…

This paper deals with the subject of infinitesimal variations of Euclidean submanifolds with arbitrary dimension and codimension. The main goal is to establish a Fundamental theorem for these geometric objects. Similar to the theory of…

We confront Yukawa modified cosmology, proposed in arXiv:2304.11492 [Jusufi et al. arXiv:2304.11492], with data from Supernovae Type Ia (SNe Ia) and Hubble parameter (OHD) observations. Yukawa cosmology is obtained from a Yukawa-like…

For non-binary codes the Elias bound is a good upper bound for the asymptotic information rate at low relative minimum distance, where as the Plotkin bound is better at high relative minimum distance. In this work, we obtain a hybrid of…

We study various weaker forms of inverse shadowing property for discrete dynamical systems on a smooth compact manifold. First, we introduce the so-called Ergodic Inverse Shadowing property (Birhhoff averages of continuous functions along…

We introduce a model which allows the fine structure constant (alpha) to vary throughout space and time due to a coupling to a scalar field with a non-canonical kinetic structure. This provided a new extension of the…

Light scattering in random media is usually considered within the framework of the three-dimensional Anderson universality class, with modifications for the vector nature of electromagnetic waves. We propose that the linear dispersiveness…

In [arXiv:1004.2488], Baumann et al. present a new formalism for studying cosmological systems where the characteristic scale of non-linearities is much smaller than the Hubble scale. By integrating out the short-wavelength modes, it is…

Recently, based on the idea of randomizing space theory, random convex analysis has been being developed in order to deal with the corresponding problems in random environments such as analysis of conditional convex risk measures and the…

It has been widely believed that variability of the fine-structure constant alpha would imply detectable violations of the weak equivalence principle. This belief is not justified in general. It is put to rest here in the context of the…

Metric of axially symmetric asymptotically flat black holes in an arbitrary metric theory of gravity can be represented in the general form which depends on infinite number of parameters. We constrain this general class of metrics by…

This article is devoted to the study of classical and new results concerning equidistant sets, both from the topological and metric point of view. We start with a review of the most interesting known facts about these sets in the euclidean…

In a recent paper, we established optimal Liouville-type theorems for conformally invariant second-order elliptic equations in the Euclidean space. In this work, we prove an optimal Liouville-type theorem for these equations in the…

This report investigates the dynamical stability conjectures of Palis and Smale, and Pugh and Shub from the standpoint of numerical observation and lays the foundation for a stability conjecture. As the dimension of a dissipative dynamical…
