We report (to our knowledge) the first evaluation of Constraint Satisfaction as a computational framework for solving closest string problems. We show that careful consideration of symbol occurrences can provide search heuristics that…
We develop a linearized boundary control method for the inverse boundary value problem of determining the damping coefficient in the damped wave equation. The objective is to reconstruct an unknown perturbation in a known background damping…

We study integrals appearing in one-loop amplitudes in string theory, and in particular their analytic continuation based on a string theoretic analog of the $i\varepsilon$-prescription of quantum field theory. For various zero- and…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the semilinear damped wave equation with variable coefficients. We prove that if the damping is effective, and the nonlinearity and other lower order terms can be regarded as perturbations,…
Recently, the Strichartz estimates for the damped wave equation was obtained by the first author except for the wave endpoint case. In the present paper, we give the Strichartz estimate in the wave endpoint case. We slightly modify the…
We give a systematic derivation of the consistency conditions which constrain open-closed disk amplitudes of topological strings. They include the A-infinity relations (which generalize associativity of the boundary product of topological…
In this paper, we are interested to an inverse Cauchy problem governed by the Stokes equation, called the data completion problem. It consists in determining the unspecified fluid velocity, or one of its components over a part of its…
This talk begins with some history and basic facts about string theory and its connections with strong interactions. Comparisons of stacks of Dirichlet branes with curved backgrounds produced by them are used to motivate the AdS/CFT…
Presented here is a study of well-posedness and asymptotic stability of a "degenerately damped" PDE modeling a vibrating elastic string. The coefficient of the damping may vanish at small amplitudes thus weakening the effect of the…
Scattering equations for tree-level amplitudes are viewed in the context of string theory. As a result of the comparison we are led to define a new dual model which coincides with string theory in both the small and large $\alpha'$ limit,…
We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…
We study the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation posed on possibly unbounded domains, including some singular and saturated nonlinear damping terms. This model interpolates between the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation and dissipative…
In this paper we consider structurally damped plate and wave equations with point and distributed random forces. In order to treat space dimensions more than one, we work in the setting of $L^q$--spaces with (possibly small) $q\in(1,2)$. We…
We revisit various string indexing problems with range reporting features, namely, position-restricted substring searching, indexing substrings with gaps, and indexing substrings with intervals. We obtain the following main results.…
The problem of recovering acoustic sources, more specifically monopoles, from point-wise measurements of the corresponding acoustic pressure at a limited number of frequencies is addressed. To this purpose, a family of sparse optimization…
We study the entanglement entropies of an interval for the massless compact boson either on the half line or on a finite segment, when either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are imposed. In these boundary conformal field theory…
In this article, we investigate the existence and properties of time-periodic solutions for damped evolutionary partial differential equations subject to periodic forcing. Particular emphasis is placed on configurations where the energy…
