We introduce two lattice growth models: aggregation of $l$-dimensional boxes and aggregation of partitions with $l$ parts. We describe properties of the models: the parameter set of aggregations, the moments of the random variable of the…
We study the persistent random walk of photons on a one-dimensional lattice of random transmittances. Transmittances at different sites are assumed independent, distributed according to a given probability density $f(t)$. Depending on the…
We estimate the distribution of relatively $r$-prime lattice points in number fields $K$ with their components having a norm less than $x$. In the previous paper we obtained uniform upper bounds as $K$ runs through all number fields under…
We consider the propagation of acoustic time-harmonic waves in a homogeneous media containing periodic lattices of spherical or cylindrical inclusions. It is assumed that the wavelength has the order of the periods of the lattice while the…
The propagation of nonlinear waves in a lattice of repelling particles is studied theoretically and experimentally. A simple experimental setup is proposed, consisting in an array of coupled magnetic dipoles. By driving harmonically the…
The aim of this article is to study the attenuation of transient low-frequency waves in 2D lattices in both plane and antiplane problems. The main idea of this article is that analytical solutions to problems of mechanics of discrete…
We consider the volume of the largest axis-parallel box in the $d$-dimensional torus that contains no point of a given point set $\mathcal{P}_n$ with $n$ elements. We prove that, for all natural numbers $d, n$ and every point set…
We study the dynamics of an infinite regular lattice of classical charged oscillators. Each individual oscillator is described as a point particle subject to a harmonic restoring potential, to the retarded electromagnetic field generated by…
We consider the convex subset $[A,B]$ of all elements between two levels $A$ and $B$ of a finite distributive lattice, as a union of (or covered by) intervals $[a,b]$. A 1988 result of Voigt and Wegener shows that for such convex subsets of…
The main purpose of the present paper is to establish a link between quadrature surfaces (potential theoretic concept) and sandpile dynamics (Laplacian growth models). For this aim, we introduce a new model of Laplacian growth on the…
We present a communication-efficient distributed protocol for computing the Babai point, an approximate nearest point for a random vector ${\bf X}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ in a given lattice. We show that the protocol is optimal in the sense that it…
Let $L \subset {\Bbb R}^3$ be the union of unit balls, whose centres lie on the $z$-axis, and are equidistant with distance $2d \in [2, 2\sqrt{2}]$. Then a packing of unit balls in ${\Bbb R}^3$ consisting of translates of $L$ has a density…
Often some interesting or simply curious points are left out when developing a theory. It seems that one of them is the existence of an upper bound for the fraction of area of a convex and closed plane area lying outside a circle with which…
In this paper we establish bounds on the number of vertices for a few classes of convex sublattice-free lattice polygons. The bounds are essential for proving the formula for the critical number of vertices of a lattice polygon that ensures…
We study diffusive lattice gases with local injection of particles, namely we assume that whenever the origin becomes empty, a new particle is immediately injected into the origin. We consider two lattice gases: a symmetric simple exclusion…
Scale-free surfaces, such as cones, remain unchanged under a simultaneous expansion of all coordinates by the same factor. Probability density of a particle diffusing near such absorbing surface at large time approaches a simple form that…
A model for diffusion on a cubic lattice with a random distribution of traps is developed. The traps are redistributed at certain time intervals. Such models are useful for describing systems showing dynamic disorder, such as ion-conducting…
We study the distribution of vortex lines in a three-dimensional lattice with inhomogeneous couplings. We investigate the spatial distribution of the number of vortex lines, showing how the vortex lines are expelled from the region with…
In this paper we study spherical equidistribution on the space of (translates of) adelic lattices, which we apply to understand the fine-scale statistics of the directions in the set of shifted primitive lattice points. We also apply our…
We introduce two discrete models of a collection of colliding particles with stored momentum and study the asymptotic growth of the mean-square displacement of an active particle. We prove that the models are superdiffusive in one dimension…
