We define the notion of an exceptional manifold to be a flat Riemannian manifold with boundary which supports a positive harmonic function satisfying simultaneously a zero Dirichlet condition and a constant (nonzero) Neumann condtion at the…
In this paper we present simple example of propositional logic which has one modal operator and is based on intuitionistic core. This system is very weak in modal sense - e.g. rules of regularity or monotonicity do not hold. It has complete…
We explore various properties of classical one-dimensional Wigner solids in the presence of disorder at T=0 in the context of a recently discovered Anderson transition of plasma modes in the random potential system. The extent to which the…
We investigate the existence of weak solutions to a certain system of partial differential equations, modelling the behaviour of a compressible non-Newtonian fluid for small Reynolds number. We construct the weak solutions despite the lack…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is well understood under equilibrium conditions as a consequence of the singularity of the thermodynamic limit. How a single global orientation of the order parameter dynamically emerges from an initially…
A mixed variational formulation of some problems in $L^2$-based Sobolev spaces is used to define the Newtonian and layer potentials for the Stokes system with $L^{\infty}$ coefficients on Lipschitz domains in ${\mathbb R}^3$. Then the…
The paper addresses the the number of nodal domains for eigenfunctions of Schr\"{o}dinger operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions in bounded domains. In dimension one, the $n$th eigenfunction has $n$ nodal domains. The Courant Theorem…
The Einstein-Podolski-Rosen paradox highlights several strange properties of quantum mechanics including the super position of states, the non locality and its limitation to determine an experiment only statistically. Here, this well known…
Non-Hermitian physics has become a fundamental framework for understanding open systems where gain and loss play essential roles, with impact across photonics, quantum science, and condensed matter. While the role of complex eigenvalues is…
Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…
A reaction-diffusion system exhibiting Turing's diffusion driven instability is considered. The equation for an activator is supplemented by unilateral terms of the type $s_{-}(x)u^{-}$, $s_{+}(x)u^{+}$ describing sources and sinks active…
The paper reports on the observation of a new type of instabilities in the atomic cloud of a magneto-optical trap (MOT). They appear as large amplitude self-oscillations, either periodic or erratic, depending on the parameters. An original…
Applying the theory of self-adjoint extensions of Hermitian operators to Koopman von Neumann classical mechanics, the most general set of probability distributions is found for which entropy is conserved by Hamiltonian evolution. A new…
We consider the identification of nonlinear diffusion coefficients of the form $a(t,u)$ or $a(u)$ in quasi-linear parabolic and elliptic equations. Uniqueness for this inverse problem is established under very general assumptions using…
This article provides a brief overview on a range of basic dynamical systems that conform to the logarithmic distribution of significant digits known as Benford's law. As presented here, most theorems are special cases of known, more…
In disordered systems, our present understanding of the Anderson transition is hampered by the possible presence of interactions between particles. We demonstrate that in boson gases, even weak interactions deeply alter the very nature of…
In this work we consider the inverse problem of determining the properties of a Wigner function from the set of its zeros (the nodal set). The previous state of the art of the problem is Hudson's theorem, which shows that an empty nodal set…
All Lipschitz dynamics with the weak infinitesimal contraction (WIC) property can be expressed as a Lipschitz nonlinear system in proportional negative feedback -- this statement, a ``structure theorem,'' is true in the $p=1$ and $p=\infty$…
The problem of the insensitivity of the macroscopic behavior of any thermodynamical system to partitioning generates a bias between the reproducibility of its macroscopic behavior viewed as the simplest form of causality and its long-term…
This paper deals with an existence and uniqueness result of the weak solution for a quasilinear elliptic PDE with nonlinear Robin boundary conditions.This problem is defined on a domain whose boundary is the union of two disjoint…
