The fundamental time-reversal invariance of dynamical systems can be broken in various ways. One way is based on the presence of resonances and their interactions giving rise to unstable dynamical systems, leading to well-defined time…
Let $X$ be a real normed vector space with a cone $K\subseteq X$ satisfying either (i) $K$ is closed with non-empty interior or (ii) $K$ has non-zero extremals or (iii) $K$ is closed and $X$ is a Banach space. In this short note, we provide…
We deal with linear programming problems involving absolute values in their formulations, so that they are no more expressible as standard linear programs. The presence of absolute values causes the problems to be nonconvex and nonsmooth,…
Recent data suggest that the Universe could be positively curved. Combined with an inflationary stage, this might lead to a curvature bounce instead of the Big Bang. The background evolution is presented, as a function of the parameters…
A linear system of real quadratic forms defines a real projective variety. The real non-singular locus of this variety (more precisely of the underlying scheme) has a highly connected double cover as long as each non-zero form in the system…
This paper considers a class of nonlinear time harmonic Maxwell systems at fixed frequency, with nonlinear terms taking the form $\mathscr{X}(x,|\vec E(x)|^2)\vec E(x)$, $\mathscr{Y}(x,|\vec H(x)|^2)\vec H(x)$, such that $\mathscr{X}(x,s)$,…
Primordial scalar perturbations may be generated when complex conformal scalar field rolls down its negative quartic potential. We begin with the discussion of peculiar infrared properties of this scenario. We then consider the statistical…
We study the role of time-reversal symmetry on the dynamical response of nonlinear optical systems that behave as unidirectional ("one-way") devices. It is shown that lossless nonlinear materials, despite being nonreciprocal, are typically…
It is well known that a graph is bipartite if and only if the spectrum of its adjacency matrix is symmetric. In the present paper, this assertion is dissected into three separate matrix results of wider scope, which are extended also to…
For a relative equilibrium of a symmetric simple mechanical system, if the Morse index of the corresponding amended potential is odd, whether the nullity is zero or not, it is linearly unstable. We also provide a sufficient condition for…
A novel approach towards the spectral analysis of stationary random bivariate signals is proposed. Using the Quaternion Fourier Transform, we introduce a quaternion-valued spectral representation of random bivariate signals seen as…
We prove that the spectral radius of even order nonnegative irreducible tensors is real geometrically simple. In the case when the order of the tensor is odd, or in the complex field, some conditions are given to guarantee the geometric…
A multivariate, stationary time series is said to be jointly regularly varying if all its finite-dimensional distributions are multivariate regularly varying. This property is shown to be equivalent to weak convergence of the conditional…
Inverse spectral problem for a self-adjoint differential operator, which is the sum of the operator of the third derivative on a finite interval and of the operator of multiplication by a real function (potential), is solved. Closed system…
Suppose that a sequence of numbers $x_n$ (a `signal') is transmitted through a noisy channel. The receiver observes a noisy version of the signal with additive random fluctuations, $x_n + \xi_n$, where $\xi_n$ is a sequence of independent…
The linear and nonlinear dynamical susceptibilities of a two level system are calculated as it undergoes a transition to a decoherent state. Analogously to the Glover-Tinkham-Ferrell sum rule of superconductivity, spectral weight in the…
The bispectrum provides a characteristic signature of gravitational instability that can be used to probe the Gaussianity of the initial conditions and the bias of the galaxy distribution. We study how this signature is affected by redshift…
The $q$-th order spectrum is a polynomial of degree $q$ in the entries of a signal $x\in\mathbb{C}^N$, which is invariant under circular shifts of the signal. For $q\geq 3$, this polynomial determines the signal uniquely, up to a circular…
We study non-linear phenomena in double barrier heterostructures. Systems in 3D under the effect of an external magnetic field along the current and 1D systems are analyzed. Non-linearities are reflected in the I-V characteristic curve as…
We consider the failure of localized control in a nonlinear spatially extended system caused by extremely small amounts of noise. It is shown that this failure occurs as a result of a nonlinear instability. Nonlinear instabilities can occur…
