Downward collapse (a.k.a. upward separation) refers to cases where the equality of two larger classes implies the equality of two smaller classes. We provide an unqualified downward collapse result completely within the polynomial…
Let $K\subseteq{\mathbb R}^n$ be a convex semialgebraic set. The semidefinite extension degree ${\mathrm{sxdeg}}(K)$ of $K$ is the smallest number $d$ such that $K$ is a linear image of an intersection of finitely many spectrahedra, each of…
We consider deterministic homogenization (convergence to a stochastic differential equation) for multiscale systems of the form \[ x_{k+1} = x_k + n^{-1} a_n(x_k,y_k) + n^{-1/2} b_n(x_k,y_k), \quad y_{k+1} = T_n y_k, \] where the fast…
Step-asynchronous successive overrelaxation updates the values contained in a single vector using the usual Gau\ss-Seidel-like weighted rule, but arbitrarily mixing old and new values, the only constraint being temporal coherence: you…
The Heisenberg spin ladder is studied in the semiclassical limit, via a mapping to the nonlinear $\sigma$ model. Different treatments are needed if the inter-chain coupling $K$ is small, intermediate or large. For intermediate coupling a…
The problem of biclustering consists of the simultaneous clustering of rows and columns of a matrix such that each of the submatrices induced by a pair of row and column clusters is as uniform as possible. In this paper we approximate the…
Randomized iterative algorithms have attracted much attention in recent years because they can approximately solve large-scale linear systems of equations without accessing the entire coefficient matrix. In this paper, we propose two novel…
We introduce an efficient and scalable method for density-based multi-material topology optimization, integrating classical mirror descent techniques with point-wise polytopal design constraints. Such constraints arise naturally in this…
Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…
By considering an empirical approximation, and a new class of operators that we will call walking operators, we construct, for any positive ND-toeplitz matrix, an infinite in all dimensions matrix, for which the inverse approximates the…
We present simple conditions under which the limiting genealogical process associated with a class of interacting particle systems with non-neutral selection mechanisms, as the number of particles grows, is a time-rescaled Kingman…
The density matrix of a non-relativistic quantum system, divided into $N$ sub-systems, is rewritten in terms of the set of all partitioned density matrices for the system. For the case where the different sub-systems are distinguishable, we…
In bootstrap percolation it is known that the critical percolation threshold tends to converge slowly to zero with increasing system size, or, inversely, the critical size diverges fast when the percolation probability goes to zero. To…
For the eigenvalues of principal submatrices of stochastically evolving Wigner matrices, we construct and study the edge scaling limit: a random decreasing sequence of continuous functions of two variables, which at every point has the…
This paper is devoted to the study of the log-convexity of combinatorial sequences. We show that the log-convexity is preserved under componentwise sum, under binomial convolution, and by the linear transformations given by the matrices of…
The long run behaviour of linear dynamical systems is often studied by looking at eventual properties of matrices and recurrences that underlie the system. A basic problem that lies at the core of many questions in this setting is the…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the first, second, and so on rows of stochastically decaying partitions. We establish that, with appropriate scaling in time and length, the sequence of rows converges to the Airy$_2$ line…
A general algorithm is presented for estimating the nonlinear instability threshold, $\sigma_c$, for subcritical transitions in systems where the linearized dynamics is significantly non-normal (i.e. subcritical bifurcations of {\em…
The work concerns invariant measures for multivalued McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations. First of all, we prove the exponential ergodicity of these equations. Then for a sequence of these equations, when their coefficients…
This work is motivated by two problems: 1) The approach of manifolds and spaces by triangulations. 2) The complexity growth in sequences of polyhedra. Considering both problems as related, new criteria and methods for approximating smooth…
