We undertake a detailed study of the $L^2$ discrepancy of rational and irrational 2-dimensional lattices either with or without symmetrization. We give a full characterization of lattices with optimal $L^2$ discrepancy in terms of the…
The problem of maximizing the $L^p$ norms of chords connecting points on a closed curve separated by arclength $u$ arises in electrostatic and quantum--mechanical problems. It is known that among all closed curves of fixed length, the…
In part I of this two-part work, certain minimization problems based on a parametric family of relative entropies (denoted $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}$) were studied. Such minimizers were called forward $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}$-projections. Here, a…
We consider a linear-quadratic optimization problem with pointwise bounds on the state for which the constraint is given by the Laplace-Beltrami equation (to have uniqueness we add an lower order term) on a two-dimensional surface . By…
For $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, a convex and bounded domain, we study the spectrum of $-\Delta_\Omega$ the Dirichlet Laplacian on $\Omega$. For $\Lambda\geq0$ and $\gamma \geq 0$ let $\Omega_{\Lambda, \gamma}(\mathcal{A})$ denote any…
In this paper we consider surfaces with one or two families of spherical curvature lines. We show that every surface with a family of spherical curvature lines can locally be generated by a pair of initial data: a suitable curve of Lie…

We consider convex programming problems with integrality constraints that are invariant under a linear symmetry group. To decompose such problems we introduce the new concept of core points, i.e., integral points whose orbit polytopes are…
A number of improvements have been added to the existing analytical model of hysteresis loop defined in parametric form. In particular, three phase shifts are included in the model, which permits to tilt the hysteresis loop smoothly by the…

We consider the question of which quadratic fields have elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. By revisiting work of Setzer, we expand on congruence conditions that determine the real and imaginary quadratic fields with elliptic…
We propose a generalization of the linked-cluster expansions to study driven-dissipative quantum lattice models, directly accessing the thermodynamic limit of the system. Our method leads to the evaluation of the desired extensive property…
Quantitative stochastic homogenization of linear elliptic operators is by now well-understood. In this contribution we move forward to the nonlinear setting of monotone operators with $p$-growth. This work is dedicated to a quantitative…
The Mordell-Weil groups $E(\mathbb{Q})$ of elliptic curves influence the structures of their quadratic twists $E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q})$ and the ideal class groups $\mathrm{CL}(-D)$ of imaginary quadratic fields. For appropriate $(u,v) \in…
We present and discuss different algorithms for converting rectangular imagery into elliptical regions. We mainly focus on methods that use mathematical mappings with explicit and invertible equations. The key idea is to start with…
