We study the problem of minimizing overall trip time for battery electric vehicles in road networks. As battery capacity is limited, stops at charging stations may be inevitable. Careful route planning is crucial, since charging stations…
It is highly desirable for a numerical approximation of a stationary point for a potential energy landscape to lie in the quadratic convergence basin of that stationary point. However, it is possible that an approximation may lie only in…
The Minimum Eccentricity Shortest Path (MESP) Problem consists in determining a shortest path (a path whose length is the distance between its extremities) of minimum eccentricity in a graph. It was introduced by Dragan and Leitert [9] who…
We describe a method to track particles undergoing large displacements. Starting with a list of particle positions sampled at different time points, we assign particle identities by minimizing the sum across all particles of the trace of…
String theory is the prime candidate for the theory of everything. However, it must be defined in ten dimensions to be consistent. To get 4D physics, the 6 other dimensions should be curled up in a small compact manifold, this procedure is…
We consider sparse inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph ensembles where edges are connected independently with probability $p_{ij}$. We assume that $p_{ij}= \varepsilon_N f(w_i, w_j)$ where $(w_i)_{i\ge 1}$ is a sequence of…

We investigate the differentiability of minimal average energy associated to the functionals $S_\ep (u) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} (1/2)|\nabla u|^2 + \ep V(x,u)\, dx$, using numerical and perturbative methods. We use the Sobolev gradient…

Riemannian Killing conserved currents are used to find the energy spectra of classical spinning particles moving around a spinning string in Einstein-Cartan (EC) theory of gravity. It is shown that a continuos spectrum is obtained for…
We find that a recently proposed interaction involving the vorticity current of electrons, which radiatively induces a photon mass in 3+1 dimensions in the low-energy effective theory, corresponds to confining strings (linear potential)…

We consider a constrained minimal energy problem with an external field over noncompact classes of infinite dimensional vector measures on a locally compact space. The components are positive measures (charges) that are constrained from…
Given an undirected connected graph $G = (V(G), E(G))$ on $n$ vertices, the minimum Monitoring Edge-Geodetic Set (MEG-set) problem asks to find a subset $M \subseteq V(G)$ of minimum cardinality such that, for every edge $e \in E(G)$, there…
Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a variant of this classical problem in which the position of each…
We consider the problem of a particle traveling from an initial configuration to a final configuration (given by a point in the plane along with a prescribed velocity vector) in minimum time with non-homogeneous velocity and with…
Solutions to conservation laws satisfy the monotonicity property: the number of local extrema is a non-increasing function of time, and local maximum/minimum values decrease/increase monotonically in time. This paper investigates this…
We consider a generalization of the criterion minimized by the K-means algorithm, where a neighborhood structure is used in the calculus of the variance. Such tool is used, for example with Kohonen maps, to measure the quality of the…
In this paper, we analyze the convergence behavior of the randomized extended Kaczmarz (REK) method for all types of linear systems (consistent or inconsistent, overdetermined or underdetermined, full-rank or rank-deficient). The analysis…
