If a line cuts randomly two sides of a triangle, the length of the segment determined by the points of intersection is also random. The object of this study, applied to a particular case, is to calculate the probability that the length of…
Stationary states of non-interacting electrons on a Koch fractal are investigated within a tight binding approach. It is observed that if a hierarchically long range hopping is allowed, a suitable correlation between the parameters defining…
Vanishing of the equilibrium Green-Kubo fluctuation expression for the friction coefficient of a massive particle moving in a finite-volume liquid is usually interpreted as an unphysical consequence of the finite volume. Here I show that it…
Let C be a Cantor set. For a real number t let C+t be the translate of C by t, We say two real numbers s,t are equivalent if the intersection of C and C+s is a translate of the intersection of C and C+t. We consider a class of Cantor sets…
Algorithmic fractal dimensions quantify the algorithmic information density of individual points and may be defined in terms of Kolmogorov complexity. This work uses these dimensions to bound the classical Hausdorff and packing dimensions…
In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…
The stationary gravitational field of two identical counter-moving beams of pure radiation is found in full generality. The solution depends on an arbitrary function and a parameter which sets the scale of the energy density. Some of its…
Collisionless suspensions of inertial particles (finite-size impurities) are studied in 2D and 3D spatially smooth flows. Tools borrowed from the study of random dynamical systems are used to identify and to characterise in full generality…
We present a new method for the calculation of fragment size correlations in a discrete finite system in which correlations explicitly due to the finite extent of the system are suppressed. To this end, we introduce a combinatorial model,…
The friction and adhesion between elastic bodies are strongly influenced by the roughness of the surfaces in contact. Here we develop a multiscale molecular dynamics approach to contact mechanics, which can be used also when the surfaces…
Self-projective sets are natural fractal sets which describe the action of a semigroup of matrices on projective space. In recent years there has been growing interest in studying the dimension theory of self-projective sets, as well as…
The idea of a finite collection of closed sets having "strongly regular intersection" at a given point is crucial in variational analysis. We show that this central theoretical tool also has striking algorithmic consequences. Specifically,…
A family of subsets $\mathcal{F}\subseteq {[n]\choose k}$ is called intersecting if any two of its members share a common element. Consider an intersecting family, a direct problem is to determine its maximal size and the inverse problem is…
For an even set of points in the plane, choose a max-sum matching, that is, a perfect matching maximizing the sum of Euclidean distances of its edges. For each edge of the max-sum matching, consider the ellipse with foci at the edge's…
This paper develops a point impact linear regression model in which the trajectory of a continuous stochastic process, when evaluated at a sensitive time point, is associated with a scalar response. The proposed model complements and is…
In protoplanetary discs and planetary atmospheres, dust grains coagulate to form fractal dust aggregates. The geometric cross-section of these aggregates is a crucial parameter characterizing aerodynamical friction, collision rates, and…
This paper is devoted to the synchronization of stochastic differential equations driven by the linear multiplicative fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in(\frac{1}{2},1)$. We firstly prove that the equation has a unique…
We propose a new multifractional stochastic process which allows for self-exciting behavior, similar to what can be seen for example in earthquakes and other self-organizing phenomena. The process can be seen as an extension of a…
A nef-partition for a weighted complete intersection is a combinatorial structure on its weights and degrees which is important for Mirror Symmetry. It is known that nef-partitions exist for smooth well-formed Fano weighted complete…
The local analysis is an established approach to the study of singularities and mobility of linkages. Key result of such analyses is a local picture of the finite motion through a configuration. This reveals the finite mobility at that…
