Addressing questions raised in recent papers, we study the $r$-distance graph $H_r(n)$ on the Boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$, where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is exactly $r$. For fixed integers $s \ge 2$ and even $r \ge…
The purpose of this paper is to study a one-dimensional polymer penalized by its range and placed in a random environment $\omega$. The law of the simple symmetric random walk up to time $n$ is modified by the exponential of the sum of…
The present paper establishes upper and lower bounds on the speed of approximation in a wide range of natural Diophantine approximation problems. The upper and lower bounds coincide in many cases, giving rise to optimal results in…
Using Monte-Carlo methods, we determine the best-fit value of the homogeneity parameter alpha in the Dyer-Roeder distance-redshift relation for a variety of redshifts, inhomogeneity models and cosmological parameter values. The relation…
In his seminal 1961 paper, Wirsing studied how well a given transcendental real number $\xi$ can be approximated by algebraic numbers $\alpha$ of degree at most $n$ for a given positive integer $n$, in terms of the so-called naive height…
In this article, we prove that the double inequality $$\alpha G(a,b)+(1-\alpha)C(a,b)<M(a,b)<\beta G(a,b)+(1-\beta)C(a,b)$$ holds true for all $a,b>0$ with $a\neq b$ if and only if $\alpha\geq 5/9$ and $\beta\leq…
Rank 1 inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of Erd\H{o}s R\'enyi random graphs. In this generalization each node is given a weight. Then the probability that an edge is present depends on the product of the weights of…
The best known upper estimates for the constants of the Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell_{p}$ spaces are of the form $\left(\sqrt{2}\right) ^{m-1}.$ We present better estimates which depend on $p$ and $m$. An…
Suppose $\Omega\Subset \mathbb R^2$ and $f\in BV_{loc}(\Omega)\cap C^0(\Omega)$ with $|f|>0$ in $\Omega$. Let $u\in C^0(\Omega)$ be a viscosity solution to the inhomogeneous $\infty$-Laplace equation $$ -\Delta_{\infty} u…
We establish that \[\sum_{m=1}^\infty \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_m \overline{a_n} \frac{mn}{(\max(m,n))^3} \leq \frac{4}{3}\sum_{m=1}^\infty |a_m|^2\] holds for every square-summable sequence of complex numbers $a = (a_1,a_2,\ldots)$ and that the…
We give an effective bound of the joint spectral radius $\rho(\Sigma)$ for a finite set $\Sigma$ of nonnegative matrices: For every $n$, \[ \sqrt[n]{\left(\frac{V}{UD}\right)^{D} \max_C \max_{i,j\in C} \max_{A_1,\dots,A_n\in\Sigma}(A_1\dots…
This paper addresses a problem recently raised by Laurent and Nogueira about inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation with coprime integers. As a corollary of our main theorem we obtain an improvement of the best known exponent of…
Lower bounds are obtained on the maximum field strength in one or both phases in a body containing two-phases. These bounds only incorporate boundary data that can be obtained from measurements at the surface of the body, and thus may be…
