Simulations of a stochastic fixed-energy sandpile in one and two dimensions reveal slow relaxation of the order parameter, even far from the critical point. The decay of the activity is best described by a stretched-exponential form. The…
Information has intrinsic geometric and topological structure, arising from relative relationships beyond absolute values or types. For instance, the fact that two people share a meal describes a relationship independent of the meal's…
A Dirac comb of point measures in Euclidean space with bounded complex weights that is supported on a lattice inherits certain general properties from the lattice structure. In particular, its autocorrelation admits a factorization into a…
A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path that visits every vertex once and only once. It serves as a model of a compact polymer on a lattice. I study the number of Hamiltonian cycles, or equivalently the entropy of a compact polymer,…
Two classes of non-linear elastic materials are derived via two-dimensional homogenization. These materials are equivalent to a periodic grid of axially-deformable and axially-preloaded structural elements, subject to incremental…
We introduce a one-dimensional sandpile model with $N$ different particle types and an infinitesimal driving rate. The parameters for the model are the N^2 critical slopes for one type of particle on top of another. The model is trivial…
The theory of a flux steady-state (avalanche) formation is presented for the simplest model of a real sand pile within the framework of Lorenz approach. The stationary values of sand velocity and sand pile slope are derived as functions of…
A two-species spatially extended system of hosts and parasitoids is studied. There are two distinct kinds of coexistence; one with populations distributed homogeneously in space and another one with spatiotemporal patterns. In the latter…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
A new model, in terms of finite bipartite graphs, of the free pseudosemilattice is presented. This will then be used to obtain several results about the variety SPS of all strict pseudosemilattices: (i) an identity basis for SPS is found,…
We study a stochastic boundary value problem on $(0,1)^d$ of elliptic type in dimension $d\ge 4$, driven by a coloured noise. An approximation scheme based on a suitable discretization of the Laplacian on a lattice of $(0,1)^d$ is…
We studied the growth of an epitaxial graphene monolayer on Ru(0001). The graphene monolayer covers uniformly the Ru substrate over lateral distances larger than several microns reproducing the structural defects of the Ru substrate. The…
Let $C_t$ be a cycle of length $t$, and let $P_1,\ldots,P_t$ be $t$ polygon chains. A polygon flower $F=(C_t; P_1,\ldots,P_t)$ is a graph obtained by identifying the $i$th edge of $C_t$ with an edge $e_i$ that belongs to an end-polygon of…
Several integral identities related to acoustic scattering are presented. In each case the identity involves the integral over frequency of a physical quantity. For instance, the integrated transmission loss, a measure of the transmitted…
In this article, we establish the relations between a sandpile graph, its sandpile monoid and the weighted Leavitt path algebra associated with it. Namely, we show that the lattice of all idempotents of the sandpile monoid $\text{SP}(E)$ of…
Emergence is a concept that is easy to exhibit, but very hard to formally handle. This paper is about cubic sand grains moving around on nicely packed columns in one dimension (the physical sandpile is two dimensional, but the support of…
A planar technology stripline-fed slot radiating element in transmission configuration is proposed. Its main advantages are the broad impedance bandwidth achieved and the property that it only radiates into half-space, which are obtained,…
We calculate the light transmission by a subwavelength plasmonic array using the boundary element method for parallel cylinders with different cross-sections: circular or elliptic with axes ratio 4:1. We demonstrate that the plasmonic…
The Spectre is a family of recently discovered aperiodic monotiles that tile the plane only in non-periodic ways, and novel physical phenomena have been predicted for planar systems made of aperiodic monotiles. It is shown that point…
We describe the linear and nonlinear stability and instability of certain symmetric configurations of point vortices on the sphere forming relative equilibria. These configurations consist of one or two rings, and a ring with one or two…
