Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) tree space is a geodesic metric space of edge-weighted phylogenetic trees with a fixed leaf set. Constructing parametric distributions on this space is challenging due to its non-Euclidean geometry and the…
We introduce a new dynamical system: the wind-tree tiling billiards. This system studies trajectories of a ray in Euclidean space which has a negative refractive index when encountering rectangular obstacles located at lattice points. We…
The phenomenon of irregular cessation and subsequent reversal of the large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is theoretically analysed. The force and thermal balance on a single plume detached from the thermal…
We study the existence of algebras of hypercyclic vectors for weighted backward shifts on sequence spaces of directed trees with the coordinatewise product. When $V$ is a rooted directed tree, we show the set of hypercyclic vectors of any…
When applying the classical Stone-Weierstrass common version in Probability Theory for example, and in other fields as well, problems may arise if all points of the compact set are not separated. A solution may consist in going back to the…
We show that the nontwist phenomena previously observed in Hamiltonian systems exist also in time-reversible non-Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we study the two standard collision/reconnection scenarios and we compute the parameter…
The Boussinesq equations for Rayleigh-Benard convection are simulated for a cylindrical container with an aspect ratio near 1.5. The transition from an axisymmetric stationary flow to time-dependent flows is studied using nonlinear…
Using the classical recursion relations we compute scattering amplitudes in a spontaneously broken Gauge-Higgs theory into final states involving high multiplicities of massive vector bosons and Higgs bosons. These amplitudes are computed…
We modify the standard Abelian-Higgs model by introducing spatially-dependent couplings for the scalar and vector fields. We investigate static, non-cylindrically symmetric solutions of the resulting field equations and propose a pinch…
This paper is concerned with well-posedness of the Cahn-Hilliard equation subject to a class of new dynamic boundary conditions. The system was recently derived in Liu-Wu (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 233 (2019), 167-247) via an energetic…
We use Ratner's theorem to compute the asymptotics of the number of (cylinders of) periodic trajectories in a rectangle with a barrier, assuming that the location p/q of the barrier is rational. We also show that as q tends to infinity, the…
We give an explicit formula for the probability that the convex hull of an $n$-step random walk in $R^d$ does not contain the origin, under the assumption that the distribution of increments of the walk is centrally symmetric and puts no…
We deal with a weighted biharmonic problem in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^{4}$. The non-linearity is assumed to have critical exponential growth in view of Adam's type inequalities. The weight $w(x)$ is of logarithm type and the potential…
The paper contains the Weyl formula for the counting function of the interior transmission problem when the latter is parameter-elliptic. Branching billiard trajectories are constructed, and the second term of the Weyl asymptotics is…
A uniform recursive tree on $n$ vertices is a random tree where each possible $(n-1)!$ labeled recursive rooted tree is selected with equal probability. In this paper we introduce and study weighted trees, a non-uniform recursive tree model…
The purpose of this paper is to compare a classical non-holonomic system---a sphere rolling against the inner surface of a vertical cylinder under gravity---and a class of discrete dynamical systems known as no-slip billiards in similar…
We consider the statistical properties of a non-falling trajectory in the Whitney problem of an inverted pendulum excited by an external force. In the case when the external force is white noise, we recently found the instantaneous…
Iterative coarse-graining procedure based on Wyld's perturbation expansion is applied to the problem of Navier-Stokes turbulence. It is shown that the low-order calculation gives the fixed-point Reynolds number $ Re_{fp}$ (coupling…
Beam theory has traditionally been restricted to small elastic strains and rigid cross-sections. Relaxing these assumptions within closed-form analytical frameworks remains challenging. In contrast, the cross-sectional warping problem…
We analyze variational inference for highly symmetric graphical models such as those arising from first-order probabilistic models. We first show that for these graphical models, the tree-reweighted variational objective lends itself to a…
