Recent simulations of wave dark matter around black hole binaries revealed the formation of a universal density profile that co-rotates with the binary. We derive this profile from first principles, interpreting it as the steady state of a…
Let $q(x)$ be real-valued compactly supported sufficiently smooth function. It is proved that the scattering data $A(\beta,\alpha_0,k)$ $\forall \beta\in S^2$, $\forall k>0,$ determine $q$ uniquely. Here $\alpha_0\in S^2$ is a fixed…

Orthogonal wavelet transforms are a cornerstone of modern signal and image denoising because they combine multiscale representation, energy preservation, and perfect reconstruction. In this paper, we show that these advantages can be…
