The adhesion approximation is a simple analytical model suggested for explanation of the major geometrical features of the observed structure in the galaxy distribution on scales from 1 to (a few)x100/h Mpc. It is based on Burgers' equation…

This paper investigates the rigidity of bordered polyhedral surfaces. Using the variational principle, we show that bordered polyhedral surfaces are determined by boundary value and discrete curvatures on the interior edges. As a corollary,…

We study almost complete intersections ideals whose Rees algebras are extremal in the sense that some of their fundamental metrics---depth or relation type---have maximal or minimal values in the class. The focus is on those ideals that…

Consider the continuous greedy paths model: given a $d$-dimensional Poisson point process with positive marks interpreted as masses, let $\mathrm P(\ell)$ denote the maximum mass gathered by a path of length $\ell$ starting from the origin.…

An elliptic relative equilibrium (ERE) is a special solution of the planar $N$-body problem generated by a central configuration. Its linear stability depends on the eccentricity $e$ and the masses of the bodies. However, for $e>0$, the…

Conditionally specified models are often used to describe complex multivariate data. Such models assume implicit structures on the extremes. So far, no methodology exists for calculating extremal characteristics of conditional models since…

The extremal characteristics of random structures, including trees, graphs, and networks, are discussed. A statistical physics approach is employed in which extremal properties are obtained through suitably defined rate equations. A variety…

An algebra is said to be \emph{$\tau$-tilting finite} provided it has only a finite number of $\tau$-rigid objects up to isomorphism. We associate a category to each such algebra. The objects are the wide subcategories of its category of…

We focus on two dependency quantities of a max-stable random field $X$ on some space $T$: the extremal coefficient function $\theta$ which we define on finite sets of $T$ and the extremal correlation function $\chi(s,t)=\lim_{x \uparrow…

Generalized Tur\'an problems have been a central topic of study in extremal combinatorics throughout the last few decades. One such problem is maximizing the number of cliques of size $t$ in a graph of a fixed order that does not contain…

Let $T$ be a triangulation of a Riemann surface. We show that the 1-skeleton of $T$ may be oriented so that there is a global bound on the outdegree of the vertices. Our application is to construct extremal metrics on triangulations formed…

We define regular points of an extremal subset in an Alexandrov space and study their basic properties. We show that a neighborhood of a regular point in an extremal subset is almost isometric to an open subset in Euclidean space and that…

Conditional extreme value models have been introduced by Heffernan and Resnick (2007) to describe the asymptotic behavior of a random vector as one specific component becomes extreme. Obviously, this class of models is related to classical…

Let $A=E \times E_{ss}$ be a principally polarized almost ordinary split abelian surface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We give asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the number of principally polarized abelian surfaces over…

In optimal control problems, there exist different kinds of extremals, that is, curves candidates to be solution: abnormal, normal and strictly abnormal. The key point for this classification is how those extremals depend on the cost…

All varieties, extremal contractions, singularities are divided on exceptional and non-exceptional ones. Roughly speaking, there are the infinite families of non-exceptional varieties, extremal contractions or singularities and only the…

The paper is devoted to multidimensional $(0,1)$-matrices extremal with respect to containing a polydiagonal (a fractional generalization of a diagonal). Every extremal matrix is a threshold matrix, i.e., an entry belongs to its support…

Extremal graphical models are sparse statistical models for multivariate extreme events. The underlying graph encodes conditional independencies and enables a visual interpretation of the complex extremal dependence structure. For the…

The question of whether a given region can be successfully filled by a finite set of tiles has been commonly studied, and there are many available arguments for whether a given finite region can be tiled. We can show that there is no domino…

Geometric (also known as spatial) quantiles, introduced by Chaudhury and representing one of the three principal approaches to defining multivariate quantiles, have been well studied in the literature. In this work, we focus on the extremal…
