We investigate the relation between energy minimizing maps valued into spheres having topological singularities at given points and optimal networks connecting them (e.g. Steiner trees, Gilbert-Steiner irrigation networks). We show the…

In this paper, we first derive a theoretical basis for spherical conformal parameterizations between a simply connected closed surface $\mathcal{S}$ and a unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ by minimizing the Dirichlet energy on…

The Energy-Dissipation Principle provides a variational tool for the analysis of parabolic evolution problems: solutions are characterized as so-called null-minimizers of a global functional on entire trajectories. This variational…

Let $S(G^{\sigma})$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of the oriented graph $G^{\sigma}$, which is obtained from a simple undirected graph $G$ by assigning an orientation $\sigma$ to each of its edges. The skew energy of an oriented graph…

We prove equidistribution of Weierstrass points on Berkovich curves. Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve of positive genus over a complete algebraically closed non-Archimedean field $K$ of equal characteristic zero with a non-trivial…

An estimate on the operator norm of an abstract fermionic renormalization group map is derived. This abstract estimate is applied in another paper to construct the thermodynamic Green's functions of a two dimensional, weakly coupled fermion…

We study the electrical distribution network reconfiguration problem, defined as follows. We are given an undirected graph with a root vertex, demand at each non-root vertex, and resistance on each edge. Then, we want to find a spanning…

Metrized graphs are nonarchimedean analogues of Riemann surfaces, and Arakelov-Green functions on these graphs are of fundamental importance for some aspects of arithmetic geometry. In the present paper, we give an explicit formula for an…

Shape-based regularization has proven to be a useful method for delineating objects within noisy images where one has prior knowledge of the shape of the targeted object. When a collection of possible shapes is available, the specification…

Current quadratic smoothness energies for curved surfaces either exhibit distortions near the boundary due to zero Neumann boundary conditions, or they do not correctly account for intrinsic curvature, which leads to unnatural-looking…

We give a criterion for the weak convergence of unit Borel measures on the N-dimensional Berkovich projective space over a complete non-archimedean field. As an application, we give a sufficient condition for equidistribution in terms of a…

The purpose of this article is to initiate Arakelov theory in a noncommutative setting. More precisely, we are concerned with Arakelov theory of noncommutative arithmetic curves. Our first main result is an arithmetic Riemann-Roch formula…

In this paper we develop the concept of energy of a vertex introduced in Arizmendi and Juarez-Romero (2016). We derive basic inequalities, continuity properties, give examples and extend the definition to locally finite graphs.

Distributing points on a (possibly high-dimensional) sphere with minimal energy is a long-standing problem in and outside the field of mathematics. This paper considers a novel energy function that arises naturally from statistics and…

Motivated by a geometric problem, we introduce a new non-convex graph partitioning objective where the optimality criterion is given by the sum of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the partition components. A relaxed formulation is identified…

For a bounded smooth domain in the plane and smooth boundary data we consider the minimisation of the Willmore functional for graphs subject to Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions. For $H^2$-regular graphs we show that bounds for the…

Gutman and Wagner proposed the concept of matching energy (ME) and pointed out that the chemical applications of ME go back to the 1970s. Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and $\mu_1,\mu_2,\ldots,\mu_n$ be the roots of its matching…

We present a diagrammatic approach to construct self-energy approximations within many-body perturbation theory with positive spectral properties. The method cures the problem of negative spectral functions which arises from a…
