We study both static and transport properties of model quantum dots, employing density functional theory as well as (numerically) exact methods. For the lattice model under consideration the accuracy of the local-density approximation…

We investigate the structure of Collatz path sequences $\{F^k(n)\}_{k=0}^{\infty}$ for positive integers $n$, where $F$ denotes the standard Collatz map. By classifying natural numbers into residue classes modulo~4, we establish that the…

We assume that a finite set of moments of a random vector is given. Its underlying density is unknown. An algorithm is proposed for efficiently calculating Dirac mixture densities maintaining these moments while providing a homogeneous…

It is shown that every Collatz sequence $C(s)$ consists only of same structured finite subsequences $C^h(s)$ for $s\equiv9\ (mod\ 12)$ or $C^t(s)$ for $s\equiv3,7\ (mod\ 12)$. For starting numbers of specific residue classes ($mod\…

We consider the so-called transport-Stokes system which describes sedimentation of inertialess suspensions in a viscous flow and couples a transport equation and the steady Stokes equations in the full three-dimensional space. First we…

The number of down-steps between pairs of up-steps in $k_t$-Dyck paths, a generalization of Dyck paths consisting of steps $\{(1, k), (1, -1)\}$ such that the path stays (weakly) above the line $y=-t$, is studied. Results are proved…

Motivated by a balanced ternary representation of the Collatz map we define the map $C_\mathbb{R}$ on the positive real numbers by setting $C_\mathbb{R}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x$ if $[x]$ is even and $C_\mathbb{R}(x)=\frac{3}{2}x$ if $[x]$ is odd,…

We improve by an exponential factor the best known asymptotic upper bound for the density of sets avoiding 1 in Euclidean space. This result is obtained by a combination of an analytic bound that is an analogue of Lovasz theta number and of…

The aim of this paper is to extend the method of improving cloaking structures in the conductivity to scattering problems. We construct very effective near-cloaking structures for the scattering problem at a fixed frequency. These new…

Collatz Conjecture sequences increase and decrease in seemingly random fashion. By identifying and analyzing the forms of numbers, we discover that Collatz sequences are governed by very specific, well-defined rules, which we call cascades.

Developments in QCD at finite density are reviewed. I begin by discussing some new algorithms which have been applied to other theories with sign problems. Then I discuss the method of analytic continuation in QCD using a series expansion…

In this paper, we extend the scope of Caffarelli's contraction theorem, which provides a measure of the Lipschitz constant for optimal transport maps between log-concave probability densities in $\R^d$. Our focus is on a broader category of…

Let $T$ be the map defined on $\N=\{1,2,3, ...\}$ by $T(n) = \frac{n}{2} $ if $n$ is even and by $T(n) = \frac{3n+1}{2}$ if $n$ is odd. Consider the dynamical system $(\N, 2^{\N}, T,\mu)$ where $\mu$ is the counting measure. This dynamical…

{The first version of this text was written and submitted to a journal on April, 12, 2018. This second version was submitted on April, 9, 2019.} We investigate the existence of subsets $A$ and $B$ of $\mathbb{N}:=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ such that…

Define the map $\mathsf{T}$ on the positive integers by $\mathsf{T}(m)=\frac{m}{2}$ if $m$ is even and by $\mathsf{T}(m)=\frac{3m+1}{2}$ if $m$ is odd. Results of Terras and Everett imply that, given any $\epsilon>0$, almost all…

With recent advances in sensing and tracking technology, trajectory data is becoming increasingly pervasive and analysis of trajectory data is becoming exceedingly important. A fundamental problem in analyzing trajectory data is that of…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

We study finitely additive extensions of the asymptotic density to all the subsets of natural numbers. Such measures are called density measures. We consider a class of density measures constructed from free ultrafilters on $\mathbb{N}$ and…

We study the truncation error of the COS method and give simple, verifiable conditions that guarantee convergence. In one dimension, COS is admissible when the density belongs to both L1 and L2 and has a finite weighted L2 moment of order…

We show that for any fixed accuracy and time length $T$, a {\it finite} number of $T$-time length pieces of the complete trajectories on the global attractor are capable of uniformly approximating all trajectories within the accuracy in the…
