We propose a simple approach, based on the minimization of the total (entropic plus unfolding) energy of a two-state system, describing the stretch-induced unfolding of macromolecules (proteins, silks, nanopolymers, DNA/RNA). The model is…
We present two methods for constructing a flat band (FB) system having a flat energy dispersion over the entire Brillouin zone within tight-binding model, where the resulting Hamiltonian may not be easily obtained by existing methods based…
This note shows that the hope expressed in [ADL+07]--that the new algorithm for edge-unfolding any polyhedral band without overlap might lead to an algorithm for unfolding any prismatoid without overlap--cannot be realized. A prismatoid is…
Sampling in shift-invariant spaces is a realistic model for signals with smooth spectrum. In this paper, we consider phaseless sampling and reconstruction of real-valued signals in a shift-invariant space from their magnitude measurements…

Flat bands - single-particle energy bands - in tight-binding networks have attracted attention due to the presence of macroscopic degeneracies and their extreme sensitivity to perturbations. This makes them natural candidates for emerging…
\citet{Shmuel2016JMPS} discovered that all infinite band structures of waves at normal incidence in two-phase laminates are encapsulated in a compact universal manifold. We show that manifolds of higher dimensionality encapsulate the band…
