A numerical monoid is a cofinite additive submonoid of the nonnegative integers, while a Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of the nonnegative cone of the rational numbers. Using that a Puiseux monoid is an increasing union of copies…
The Bopp's shifts will be generalized through symplectic formalism. A special procedure, like a "diagonalization", which drives the completely deformed symplectic matrix to the standard symplectic form was found as suggested by…
The subject is the overview of the use of quasi-entropy in finite dimensional spaces. Matrix monotone functions and relative modular operators are used. The origin is the relative entropy and the f-divergence, monotone metrics, covariance…
Assume you an infinite supply of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters (or some other finite set of denominations which are relatively prime). Let CH(n) be the number of ways to make change of n cents. We present a simple unified exposition…
We study here preference revision, considering both the monotonic case where the original preferences are preserved and the nonmonotonic case where the new preferences may override the original ones. We use a relational framework in which…
The method of equivariant moving frames on multi-space is used to construct symmetry preserving finite difference schemes of partial differential equations invariant under finite-dimensional symmetry groups. Invariant numerical schemes for…
The aim of this work is to enumerate alternating sign matrices (ASM) that are quasi-invariant under a quarter-turn. The enumeration formula (conjectured by Duchon) involves, as a product of three terms, the number of unrestricted ASM's and…
We study integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f\left( d\omega_1 , \ldots , d\omega_m \right), $ where $m \geq 1$ is a given integer, $1 \leq k_{i} \leq n$ are integers and $\omega_{i}$ is a $(k_{i}-1)$-form for all $1 \leq i \leq m$ and $…
We investigate a variation of the simple double pendulum in which the two point masses are replaced by square plates. The double square pendulum exhibits richer behavior than the simple double pendulum and provides a convenient…
Higher-dimensional binary shifts of number-theoretic origin with positive topological entropy are considered. We are particularly interested in analysing their symmetries and extended symmetries. They form groups, known as the topological…
Musical chords, harmonies or melodies in Just Intonation have note frequencies which are described by a base frequency multiplied by rational numbers. For any local section, these notes can be converted to some base frequency multiplied by…
We show how decimated Gibbs measures which have an unbroken continuous symmetry due to the Mermin-Wagner theorem, although their discrete equivalents have a phase transition, still can become non-Gibbsian. The mechanism rests on the…
The enumeration of Hamiltonian cycles on 2n*2n grids of nodes is a longstanding problem in combinatorics. Previous work has concentrated on counting all cycles. The current work enumerates nonisomorphic cycles -- that is, the number of…
We complete the enumeration of Dumont permutations of the second kind avoiding a pattern of length 4 which is itself a Dumont permutation of the second kind. We also consider some combinatorial statistics on Dumont permutations avoiding…
Localised structures appear in a wide variety of systems, arising from a pinning mechanism due to the presence of a small-scale pattern or an imposed grid. When there is a separation of lengthscales, the width of the pinning region is…
We introduce and analyze a one-dimensional quantum walk with two time-independent rotations on the coin. We study the influence on the property of quantum walk due to the second rotation on the coin. Based on the asymptotic solution in the…
I consider the equations of motion which follow from d'Alembert's principle for a general mechanical system in a space of N dimensions, constrained by a non-holonomic constraint which is linear and homogeneous in the generalised velocities.…
In this paper, we investigate the structure of the most general kind of substitution shifts, including non-minimal ones, and allowing erasing morphisms. We prove the decidability of many properties of these morphisms with respect to the…
This paper studies a polymer chain in the vicinity of a linear interface separating two immiscible solvents. The polymer consists of random monomer types, while the interface carries random charges. Both the monomer types and the charges…
We derive large-amplitude collective equations of motion from the variational principle for the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. These equations reduce to the well-known diabatic formulas for vibrational frequencies in the small…
