We study the error of the number of points of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ that fall into a dilated and translated hypercube centred around $0$ and whose axis are parallel to the axis of coordinates. We show that if $t$, the factor of…
The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…
We show that 1D lattice models exhibit superdiffusive transport in the presence of random "nodal impurities" in the absence of interaction. Here a nodal impurity is defined as a localized state, the wave function of which has zeros (nodes)…
We present a new description of nonequilibrium square patterns as a harmonically coupled crystal lattice. In a vertically oscillating granular layer, different transverse normal modes of the granular square-lattice pattern are observed for…
Fracture toughness is the material property characterizing resistance to failure. Predicting its value from the solid structure at the atomistic scale remains elusive, even in the simplest situations of brittle fracture. We report here…
The {\it number rigidity} of a stationary point process $\mathsf{P}$ entails that for a bounded set $A$ the knowledge of $\mathsf{P}$ on $A^{c}$ a.s. determines $\mathsf{P}(A)$; the $k$-order rigidity means the moments of $\mathsf{P}1_{A}$…
I present a recent piece of work on semileptonic $B \to \pi$ decays in which lattice results and kinematical and dispersive constraints are combined to obtain model-independent bounds on the relevant form factors and rates.
We consider a dilute lattice obtained from the usual $\mathbb{Z}^3$ lattice by removing independently each of its columns with probability $1-\rho$. In the remaining dilute lattice independent Bernoulli bond percolation with parameter $p$…
We seek shifted lattice rules that are good for high dimensional integration over the unit cube in the setting of an unanchored weighted Sobolev space of functions with square-integrable mixed first derivatives. Many existing studies rely…
Given a $d$-dimensional Euclidean lattice we consider the random set obtained by adding an independent Gaussian vector to each of the lattice points. In this note we provide a simple procedure that recovers the lattice from a single…
A linearly constrained framework in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a point configuration together with a system of constraints which fixes the distances between some pairs of points and additionally restricts some of the points to lie in given affine…
We construct a point set in the Euclidean plane that elucidates the relationship between the fine-scale statistics of the fractional parts of $\sqrt n$ and directional statistics for a shifted lattice. We show that the randomly rotated, and…
This paper investigates recursive feasibility, recursive robust stability and near-optimality properties of policy iteration (PI). For this purpose, we consider deterministic nonlinear discrete-time systems whose inputs are generated by PI…
A 2-dimensional point-line framework is a collection of points and lines in the plane which are linked by pairwise constraints that fix some angles between pairs of lines and also some point-line and point-point distances. It is rigid if…
In this paper, we address the problem of computing the maximal admissible robust positive invariant (MARPI) set for discrete-time linear time-varying systems with parametric uncertainties and additive disturbances. The system state and…
We consider a finite region of a d-dimensional lattice of nonlinear Hamiltonian rotators, where neighbouring rotators have opposite spins and are coupled by a small potential of order $\varepsilon^a,\, a\geq1/2$. We weakly stochastically…
Mechanical instability takes different forms in various ordered and disordered systems. We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in two disordered central-force lattice models near mechanical instability: randomly diluted triangular…

Admissible perturbations (i.e., perturbations that do not change the Mironenko reflecting function of the system) are obtained for an autonomous three-dimensional quadratic generalized Langford system with five parameters. The obtained…
