Suppose we count the positive integer lattice points beneath a convex decreasing curve in the first quadrant having equal intercepts. Then stretch in the coordinate directions so as to preserve the area under the curve, and again count…
We aim to maximize the number of first-quadrant lattice points in a convex domain with respect to reciprocal stretching in the coordinate directions. The optimal domain is shown to be asymptotically balanced, meaning that the stretch factor…

We seek shifted lattice rules that are good for high dimensional integration over the unit cube in the setting of an unanchored weighted Sobolev space of functions with square-integrable mixed first derivatives. Many existing studies rely…
A real-space renormalization transformation is constructed for lattices of non-identical oscillators with dynamics of the general form $d\phi_{k}/dt=\omega_{k}+g\sum_{l}f_{lk}(\phi_{l},\phi_{k})$. The transformation acts on ensembles of…
This paper describes a 2-D graphics algorithm that uses shifts and adds to precisely plot a series of points on an ellipse of any shape and orientation. The algorithm can also plot an elliptic arc that starts and ends at arbitrary angles.…

Aiming at the study of critical phenomena in the presence of boundaries with a non-trivial shape we discuss how lattices with an adaptive lattice spacing can be implemented. Since the parameters of the Hamiltonian transform non-trivially…
Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…

We consider a one-parameter family of invertible maps of a two-dimensional lattice, obtained by discretising the space of planar rotations. We let the angle of rotation approach $\pi/2$, and show that the limit of vanishing discretisation…
An effective estimate for the lattice point discrepancy of ellipsoids of rotation. This paper provides an explicit bound, with numerical constants, for the lattice point discrepancy (= number of integer points minus volume) of an ellipsoid…
For any positive integer $n$ along with parameters $\alpha$ and $\nu$, we define and investigate $\alpha$-shifted, $\nu$-offset, floor sequences of length $n$. We find exact and asymptotic formulas for the number of integers in such a…
The presence of outliers can significantly degrade the performance of ellipse fitting methods. We develop an ellipse fitting method that is robust to outliers based on the maximum correntropy criterion with variable center (MCC-VC), where a…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a positive integer $N$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the reduction of $E$ modulo $p$ possesses exactly $N$ points over $\mathbb F_p$. On average (over a family of…

For positive rank $r$ elliptic curves $E(\mathbb{Q})$, we employ ideal class pairings $$ E(\mathbb{Q})\times E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CL}(-D), $$ for quadratic twists $E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q})$ with a suitable ``small $y$-height''…
We study the semigroup generated by the hypoelliptic Laplacian on the circle and the maximal bounded holomorphic extension of this semigroup. Using an orthogonal decomposition into harmonic oscillators with complex shifts, we describe the…
We consider the constrained Linear Inverse Problem (LIP), where a certain atomic norm (like the $\ell_1 $ norm) is minimized subject to a quadratic constraint. Typically, such cost functions are non-differentiable, which makes them not…
We study an optimal stretching problem, which is a variant lattice point problem, for convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) with smooth boundary of finite type that are symmetric with respect to each coordinate hyperplane/axis. We…
