Nonlinearities in finite dimensions can be linearized by projecting them into infinite dimensions. Unfortunately, often the linear operator techniques that one would then use simply fail since the operators cannot be diagonalized. This…
Whether the total angular momentum of the photon can be separated into spin and orbital parts has been a long-standing problem due to the constraint of transversality condition on its vector wavefunction. A careful analysis shows that the…

It is shown that the independence of the continuum hypothesis points to the unique definite status of the set of intermediate cardinality: the intermediate set exists only as a subset of continuum. This latent status is a consequence of…
In this paper, we investigate the eigenvalue problem for a non-local dispersal operator defined on a bounded spatial domain with Neumann-type boundary conditions. Unlike the classical Laplacian, the non-local operator lacks compactness,…

Much effort has been spent on characterizing the spectrum of the non-backtracking matrix of certain classes of graphs, with special emphasis on the leading eigenvalue or the second eigenvector. Much less attention has been paid to the…
