A pebbling move on a graph consists of removing $2$ pebbles from a vertex and adding $1$ pebble to one of the neighbouring vertices. A vertex is called reachable if we can put $1$ pebble on it after a sequence of moves. The optimal pebbling…
In this paper we consider a generalized diffusion equation on a square lattice corresponding to Mellin transforms of the $k$-path Laplacian. In particular, we prove that superdiffusion occurs when the parameter $s$ in the Mellin transform…
The observation that optimum circuit size changes by at most $O(n)$ under a one-point truth table perturbation is implicit in prior work on the Minimum Circuit Size Problem. This note states the bound explicitly for arbitrary fixed finite…
We provide an exact formula for the mean first-passage time (MFPT) to a target at the origin for a single particle diffusing on a $d$-dimensional hypercubic {\em lattice} starting from a fixed initial position $\vec R_0$ and resetting to…
The point placement problem is to determine the positions of a set of $n$ distinct points, P = {p1, p2, p3, ..., pn}, on a line uniquely, up to translation and reflection, from the fewest possible distance queries between pairs of points.…
Consider the problem of finding a point in a unit $n$-dimensional $\ell_p$-ball ($p\ge 2$) such that the minimum of the weighted Euclidean distance from given $m$ points is maximized. We show in this paper that the recent…
A point (x1, x2) with coordinates in a subfield of R of transcendence degree one over Q, with 1, x1, x2 linearly independent over Q, may have a uniform exponent of approximation by elements of Q^2 that is strictly larger than the lower…
In this entry point into the subject, combining two elementary proofs, we decrease the gap between the upper and lower bounds by $0.2\%$ in a classical combinatorial number theory problem. We show that the maximum size of a Sidon set of $\{…
We investigate the level spacing distribution for three ensembles of real symmetric matrices having additional structural constraint to reduce the number of independent entries to only $ (n+1)/2 $ in contrast to the $ n(n+1)/2 $ for a real…
We explore asymptotically optimal bounds for deviations of distributions of independent Bernoulli random variables from the Poisson limit in terms of the Shannon relative entropy and R\'enyi/Tsallis relative distances (including Pearson's…
An upper bound on the error probability of specific lattices, based on their distance-spectrum, is constructed. The derivation is accomplished using a simple alternative to the Minkowski-Hlawka mean-value theorem of the geometry of numbers.…
We place several new limits on Lorentz violating effects, which can modify particles' dispersion relations, by considering the highest energy cosmic rays observed. Since these are hadrons, this involves considering the partonic content of…
An effective estimate for the lattice point discrepancy of ellipsoids of rotation. This paper provides an explicit bound, with numerical constants, for the lattice point discrepancy (= number of integer points minus volume) of an ellipsoid…
We establish explicit lower bounds for advection-diffusion equations in three settings: a polynomial $\dot H^{-1}$ bound for inviscid shears with $u\in L^\infty_t W^{1,1}_y$, a uniform positive lower bound on the mixing scale for diffusive…
We investigate the level spacing distribution for the quantum spectrum of the square billiard. Extending work of Connors--Keating, and Smilansky, we formulate an analog of the Hardy--Littlewood prime $k$-tuple conjecture for sums of two…
New calculations to over ten million time steps have revealed a more complex diffusive behavior than previously reported, of a point particle on a square and triangular lattice randomly occupied by mirror or rotator scatterers. For the…
We study the percolation of randomly rotating patchy particles on $11$ Archimedean lattices in two dimensions. Each vertex of the lattice is occupied by a particle, and in each model the patch size and number are monodisperse. When there…
The dispersive analysis of the decay $\eta\to3\pi$ is reviewed and thoroughly updated with the aim of determining the quark mass ratio ~$Q^2=(m_s^2-m_{ud}^2)/(m_d^2-m_u^2)$. With the number of subtractions we are using, the effects…
In 1974, Witsenhausen asked for the maximum possible density $\alpha_n$ of a measurable subset $A$ of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $A$ contains no pair of orthogonal vectors. For $n=3$, the best known…
Given a finite set, $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$, and a subset, $B \subseteq A$, the \emph{MST-ratio} is the combined length of the minimum spanning trees of $B$ and $A \setminus B$ divided by the length of the minimum spanning tree of $A$.…
