In the Token Swapping problem we are given a graph with a token placed on each vertex. Each token has exactly one destination vertex, and we try to move all the tokens to their destinations, using the minimum number of swaps, i.e.,…
A relationally exchangeable structure is a random combinatorial structure whose law is invariant with respect to relabeling its relations, as opposed to its elements. Aside from exchangeable random partitions, examples include edge…
Exchange interaction strongly influences the long-range behavior of localized electron orbitals and quantum tunneling amplitudes.In the Hartree-Fock approximation the exchange produces a power-law decay instead of the usual exponential…
The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, forms a poset. This paper presents the first explicit major results on the topology of intervals in this poset. We show that almost all (open) intervals in this poset have a…
The classical ground state magnetic response of the Heisenberg model when rotationally invariant exchange interactions of integer order q>1 are added is found to be discontinuous, even though the interactions lack magnetic anisotropy. This…
We study rings with infinitely (only finitely) many maximal subrings. We prove that if $M$ is a maximal left/right ideal of a ring $T$ which is not an ideal of $T$, and $R$ is the idealizer of $M$, then $T$ has at least $|R/M|+1$ maximal…
Let $E$ be a nonisotrivial elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$ and denote the rank of the abelian group $E(\mathbb{Q}(T))$ by $r$. For all but finitely many $t\in \mathbb{Q}$, specialization will give an elliptic curve $E_t$ over…
The goal of this paper is to generalize the theory of triangularizing matrices to linear transformations of an arbitrary vector space, without placing any restrictions on the dimension of the space or on the base field. We define a…
Let $I$ be a regular proper ideal in a Noetherian ring $R$, let $e \ge 2$ be an integer, let $\mathbf T_e = R[u,tI,u^{\frac{1}{e}}]' \cap R[u^{\frac{1}{e}},t^{\frac{1}{e}}]$ (where $t$ is an indeterminate and $u =\frac{1}{t}$), and let…
This note is intended primarily for college calculus students right after the introduction of the Intermediate Value Theorem, to show them how the Intermediate Value Theorem is used repeatedly and straightforwardly to prove the celebrated…
The article addresses some open questions about the relations between the topological weak mixing property and the transitivity of the map $f\times f^2 \times...\times f^m$, where $f\colon X\ra X$ is a topological dynamical system on a…
Given $\beta\in(1,2]$, let $T_\beta: [0,1)\to[0,1);~x\mapsto\beta x\pmod 1$. For $m\in\mathbb N$ let \[ \tau_m(\beta):=\sup\left\{t\in[0,1): K_\beta(t)\textrm{ {contains a periodic orbit} of smallest period }m \right\}, \] where…
Let $\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}f(t)dt$ denote the Laplace transform of $f$. It is well-known that if $f(t)$ is a piecewise continuous function on the interval $t:[0,\infty)$ and of exponential order for $t > N$; then…
Given a reduced local algebra $T$ over a suitable ring or field $k$ we study the question of whether there are nontrivial algebra surjections $R\to T$ which induce isomorphisms $\Omega_{R/k}\otimes T \to \Omega_{T/k}$. Such maps, called…
We investigate weak mixing for some classes of interval translation mappings. We give two distinct proofs that a typical Bruin-Troubetzkoy interval translation mapping is weakly mixing. Moreover, we show that the second approach extends to…
Exploded layered tropical (ELT) algebra is an extension of tropical algebra with a structure of layers. These layers allow us to use classical algebraic results in order to easily prove analogous tropical results. Specifically we study the…
An interval matrix is a matrix whose entries are intervals in the set of real numbers. We generalize this concept, which has been broadly studied, to other fields. Precisely we define a rational interval matrix to be a matrix whose entries…
An asymptotic scaling theory is presented using the conceptual basis of trapping-free subspace (i.e., orthogonal subspace) to establish the generic mechanism of optimal efficiency of excitation energy transfer (EET) in light-harvesting…
Given a graph $G$ and two spanning trees $T$ and $T'$ in $G$, Spanning Tree Reconfiguration asks whether there is a step-by-step transformation from $T$ to $T'$ such that all intermediates are also spanning trees of $G$, by exchanging an…
In rational dynamics, we prove the existence of a polynomial that satisfies the Topological Collet-Eckmann condition, but which has a recurrent critical orbit that is not Collet-Eckmann. This shows that the converse of the main theorem in…
