We show that the sensitivity of wave speckle patterns in disordered nonlinear media to changes of scattering potential increases with sample size. For large enough sample size this quantity diverges, which implies that at given coherent…

We provide the first known upper bounds for the packing dimension of weighted singular and weighted $\omega$-singular matrices. We also prove upper bounds for these sets when intersected with fractal subsets. The latter results, even in the…
A $\lambda$-fold $r$-packing (multiple radius-$r$ covering) in a Hamming metric space is a code $C$ such that the radius-$r$ balls centered in $C$ cover each vertex of the space by not more (not less, respectively) than $\lambda$ times. The…

Super-Heisenberg scaling, which scales as $N^{-\beta}$ with $\beta>1$ in terms of the number of particles $N$ or $T^{-\beta}$ in terms of the evolution time $T$, is better than Heisenberg scaling in quantum metrology. It has been proven…
We use a binary search tree and the simplex algorithm to measure the fraction of patterns that can be stored by an Ising perceptron. The algorithm is much faster than exhaustive search and allows us to obtain accurate statistics up to a…

It is known that in $\mathbb{R}^n,n\geq 2$, a compact set which contains $n-1$ spheres with all radii in $[1/2,1]$ or with all possible centres in $[0,1]^n$ has full Hausdorff dimension. In fact the later set has positive Lebesgue measure.…
We resort to variational methods to evaluate the asymptotic behavior of fine metamaterials as a function of cell size. To zeroth order, the metamaterial behaves as a micropolar continuum with both displacement and rotation degrees of…
We view space-filling circle packings as subsets of the boundary of hyperbolic space subject to symmetry conditions based on a discrete group of isometries. This allows for the application of counting methods which admit rigorous upper and…
We define three-point bounds for sphere packing that refine the linear programming bound, and we compute these bounds numerically using semidefinite programming by choosing a truncation radius for the three-point function. As a result, we…
Disordered assemblies with maximum packing fraction are studied by discrete element numerical simulation for monodisperse or bidisperse spherical particles, the diameter ratio being set at three. A maximum packing fraction value corresponds…
Jammed packings' mechanical properties depend sensitively on their detailed local structure. Here we provide a complete characterization of the pair correlation close to contact and of the force distribution of jammed frictionless spheres.…

We give upper-bounds for the dimension of some linear systems. The theorem improves the differential Horace method introduced by Alexander-Hirschowitz, and was conjectured by Simpson. Possible applications are the calculus of the dimension…
A sharp isoperimetric inequality for the Hamming cube is proved at the critical exponent $\beta=\frac12$. This follows up on previous work, where such bounds were established for $\beta$ near $\frac12$. As a consequence, this result settles…
