Sampling equilateral closed polygons is of interest in the statistical study of ring polymers. Over the past 30 years, previous authors have proposed a variety of simple Markov chain algorithms (but have not been able to show that they…

We construct a new basis for a slim cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebra $\cysSr$ via symmetric polynomials in Jucys--Murphy operators of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra $\cysHr$. We show that this basis, labelled by matrices, is not the double coset…
Often topological classes of one-dimensional dynamical systems are finite codimension smooth manifolds. We describe a method to prove this sort of statement that we believe can be applied in many settings. In this work we will implement it…
Waveguide and resonant properties of diffractive structures are often explained through the complex poles of their scattering matrices. Numerical methods for calculating poles of the scattering matrix with applications in grating theory are…
We investigate the structure of the Minkowski sum of standard simplices in ${\reals}^r$. In particular, we investigate the one-dimensional structure, the vertices, their degrees and the edges in the Minkowski sum polytope.
We use the theory of hyperplane arrangements to construct natural bases for the homology of partition lattices of types A, B and D. This extends and explains the "splitting basis" for the homology of the partition lattice given in [Wa96],…

An accurate method to compute enclosures of Abelian integrals is developed. This allows for an accurate description of the phase portraits of planar polynomial systems that are perturbations of Hamiltonian systems. As an example, it is…
Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain, $K$ the fraction field, $\p$ a non-zero prime ideal of $A$, and $K_\pp$ the completion of $K$ with respect to the $\p$-adic topology. At the input of a monic irreducible separable polynomial, $f(x)\in A[x]$,…
