A survey of reinforced random walk, with emphasis on the linear case.

A class of e-variables is introduced and analyzed. Some examples are presented.

We fantasize about an alternative history for theories of electromagnetism and gravitation.

We prove some extensions of Andrews inequality.

In this chapter we characterize Askey-Wilson polynomials including specific and limiting cases of them by some structure relations of the first type.

In this paper, we first give a simple combinatorial proof of Tepper's identity. Then, as a by product of this interesting identity we present another proof of the well-known Wilson's identity in number theory. Finally, we obtain a…

In this short essay, we show how computer experiments, and especially visualization, allowed for the investigation and discovery of phenomena which would have passed unnoticed. We shall also highlight the importance of interactivity between…

The story on the early days of the Quantum Ergodic Theorem. Alternative proof, underlying heuristics, physical analogies and interpretations.

An elementary derivation of the electromagnetic memory effect is given. An experimental setup to detect it is suggested.

The story of (Ward-)Takahashi relations and their impact on physical theory is reviewed.

This is my contribution to Stephen Hawking's 60th birthday party. Happy Birthday Stephen!

This article is a collected information from some books and papers, and in most cases the original sentences is reserved about twin prime conjecture.

A conjecture regarding the structure of expander graphs is discussed.

This brief comment reflects on the historical and current uses of the term "snowball sampling."

This paper collects some problems that I have encountered during the years, have puzzled me and which, to the best of my knowledge, are still open. Most of them are well-known and have been first stated by other authors. In this sad season…

The article presents the main milestones of the science and technology biography of Ivan Edward Sutherland. The influence of the family and the school on the development of its research competencies is shown, and little-known biographical…

Previously, Wilson surface observables were interpreted as a class of Poisson sigma models. We profit from this construction to define and study the super version of Wilson surfaces. We provide some `proof of concept' examples to illustrate…

We present generalisations of Wilson's theorem for double factorials, hyperfactorials, subfactorials and superfactorials.
