Let X=(x,y). A plane flow is a function F(X,t): R^2*R->R^2 such that F(F(X,s),t)=F(X,s+t) for (almost) all real numbers x,y,s,t (the function F might not be well-defined for certain x,y,t). In this paper we investigate rational plane flows…

We introduce a class of linear compartmental models called identifiable path/cycle models which have the property that all of the monomial functions of parameters associated to the directed cycles and paths from input compartments to output…

We prove that the polynomial entropy of an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the circle equals 1 when the homeomorphism is not conjugate to a rotation and that it is 0 otherwise. In a second part we prove that the polynomial entropy…

$B$-terms are built from the $B$ combinator alone defined by $B\equiv\lambda fgx. f(g~x)$, which is well known as a function composition operator. This paper investigates an interesting property of $B$-terms, that is, whether repetitive…

In this paper we develop an approach to conformal geometry of piecewise flat metrics on manifolds. In particular, we formulate the combinatorial Yamabe problem for piecewise flat metrics. In the case of surfaces, we define the combinatorial…

We introduce two properties: strong R-property and $C(q)$-property, describing a special way of divergence of nearby trajectories for an abstract measure preserving system. We show that systems satisfying the strong R-property are disjoint…

Let $\phi_c(G)$ be the circular flow number of a bridgeless graph $G$. In [Edge-colorings and circular flow numbers of regular graphs, J. Graph Theory 79 (2015) 1-7] it was proved that, for every $t \geq 1$, $G$ is a bridgeless…

Let $f(m,c)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (km+1)^{k-1} c^k e^{-c(km+1)/m} / (m^kk!)$. For any positive integer $m$ and positive real $c$, the identity $f(m,c)=f(1,c)^{1/m}$ arises in the random graph theory. In this paper, we present two elementary…

In this paper, we discuss uniqueness and backward uniqueness for mean curvature flow of non-compact manifolds. We use an energy argument to prove two uniqueness theorems for mean curvature flow with possibly unbounded curvatures. These…

Let the coefficients $a_{ij}$ and $b_i$, $i,j \leq d$, of the linear Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation (FPK-eq.) $$\partial_t\mu_t = \partial_i\partial_j(a_{ij}\mu_t)-\partial_i(b_i\mu_t)$$ be Borel measurable, bounded and continuous in…

We consider products of sets of reals with a combinatorial structure based on scales parameterized by filters. This kind of sets were intensively investigated in products of spaces with combinatorial covering properties as Hurewicz,…

In this paper, we prove that finite-dimensional topological flows without fixed points and having a countable number of periodic orbits, have the small flow boundary property. This enables us to answer positively a question of Bowen and…

Using a vector field in $\mathbb{R}^4$, we provide an example of a robust heteroclinic cycle between two equilibria that displays a mix of features exhibited by well-known types of low-dimensional heteroclinic structures, including simple,…

Transport networks are crucial to the functioning of natural and technological systems. Nature features transport networks that are adaptive over a vast range of parameters, thus providing an impressive level of robustness in supply.…

Designing and optimizing different flows in networks is a relevant problem in many contexts. While a number of methods have been proposed in the physics and optimal transport literature for the one-commodity case, we lack similar results…

"Fluid polyamorphism" is the existence of different condensed amorphous states in a single-component fluid. It is either found or predicted, usually at extreme conditions, for a broad group of very different substances, including helium,…

We make two contributions to the study of theory combination in satisfiability modulo theories. The first is a table of examples for the combinations of the most common model-theoretic properties in theory combination, namely stable…

In this note we make use of some properties of vector fields on a manifold to give an alternate proof to [3] for the equivalence between connections and parallel transport on vector bundles over manifolds. Out of the proof will emerge a new…

Constructal Law states that a finite-size flow system that persists in time evolves its configuration so as to provide progressively easier access to the currents that flow through it. Classical Constructal theory derives hierarchical flow…

Superconductivity (SC) or superfluidity (SF) is observed across a remarkably broad range of fermionic systems: in BCS, cuprate, iron-based, organic, and heavy-fermion superconductors, and superfluid helium-3 in condensed matter; in a…
