Reliability of a system is considered where the components' random lifetimes may be dependent. The structure of the system is described by an associated "lattice polynomial" function. Based on that descriptor, general framework formulas are…

The stretching of a polymer chain by a large scale chaotic flow is considered. The steady state which emerges as a balance of the turbulent stretching and anharmonic resistance of the chain is quantitatively described, i.e. the dependency…

The elastic energy of mixing for multi-component solid solutions is derived by generalizing Eshelby's sphere-in-hole model for binary alloys. By surveying the dependence of the elastic energy on chemical composition and lattice misfit, we…

In a recent paper [El 13], M.E. Kahoui has shown that if $R$ is a polynomial ring over $\mathbb{C}$, $A$ an $\mathbb{A}^3$-fibration over $R$, and $W$ a residual variable of $A$ then $A$ is stably polynomial over $R[W]$. In this article we…

Fix a field $k$ of characteristic zero. If $a_1, ..., a_n$ ($n>2$) are positive integers, the integral domain $B = k[X_1, ..., X_n] / ( X_1^{a_1} + ... + X_n^{a_n} )$ is called a Pham-Brieskorn ring. It is conjectured that if $a_i > 1$ for…

We give sufficient conditions on planar domains for polynomials to be dense in the algebras A and A-infinity of the product of these domains, endowed with their natural topologies. We also characterize the uniform limits, with respect to…

We calculate the distribution function of the end--to--end distance of a semiflexible polymer with large bending rigidity. This quantity is directly observable in experiments on single semiflexible polymers (e.g., DNA, actin) and relevant…

A nonzero element of an integral domain (or commutative cancellative monoid) is called atomic if it can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (also called atoms). In this paper, we introduce and investigate an unrestricted…

Let $R$ be a ring and $P$ a prime ideal of $R.$ In this paper, we establish some commutativity criteria for the factor ring $R/P$ in terms of derivations of $R$ satisfying some algebraic identities involving a new kind of involution in…

Let $R$ be a ring and $B = R[X_1, \dots, X_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over $R$. In this article, we consider retractions $\varphi : B \longrightarrow B$ such that $\varphi(X_i)$ is either a monic monomial or $0$. We prove that…

This article studies the dynamics of a finite chain with infinite components. The equation which permits us to find the probability distribution of the chain length is constructed and analysed. This research is a continuation of paper…

Nematic liquid crystals in a polyhedral domain, a prototype for bistable displays, may be described by a unit-vector field subject to tangent boundary conditions. Here we consider the case of a rectangular prism. For configurations with…

We study the question up to which power an irreducible integer-valued polynomial that is not absolutely irreducible can factor uniquely. For example, for integer-valued polynomials over principal ideal domains with square-free denominator,…

We discuss the determination of the Lam\'e parameters of an elastic material by the means of boundary measurements. We will combine previous results of Eskin-Ralston and Isakov to prove inverse results in the case of bounded domains with…

For a property $\mathcal{X}$ of integral domains, an integral domain $D$ is said to be a {\it locally $\mathcal{X}$-domain} if $D_P$ has the property $\mathcal{X}$ for every prime ideal $P$ of $D$. In this paper, we study the transfer of…

Interest in the elastic properties of regular lattices constructed from domain walls has recently been motivated by cosmological applications as solid dark energy. This work investigates the particularly simple examples of triangular,…

Let $H$ be an atomic monoid. For $x \in H$, let $\mathsf{L}(x)$ denote the set of all possible lengths of factorizations of $x$ into irreducibles. The system of sets of lengths of $H$ is the set $\mathcal{L}(H) = \{\mathsf{L}(x) \mid x \in…

In this paper, we show that \phi is a dependent formula if and only if all \phi-types have an extension to a \phi-isolated \phi-type that is an "elementary \phi-extension" (see Definition 2.3 in the paper). Moreover, we show that the domain…

We present general, computable, improvable, and rigorous bounds for the total energy of a finite heterogeneous volume element or a periodically distributed unit cell of an elastic composite of any known distribution of inhomogeneities of…

An atomic monoid $M$ is called length-factorial if for every non-invertible element $x \in M$, no two distinct factorizations of $x$ into irreducibles have the same length (i.e., number of irreducible factors, counting repetitions). The…
