We consider the finite element discretization of an optimal Dirichlet boundary control problem for the Laplacian, where the control is considered in $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$. To avoid computing the latter norm numerically, we realize it using the…

We construct an M-solitons solutions in Jackiw-Pi model depends on 5M parameters(two positions, one scale, one phase per solition and one charge of each solution). By using \phi -mapping method, we discuss the topological structure of the…
We study the behavior of a dimer model under the operation of removing a corner from the lattice polygon and taking the convex hull of the rest. This refines an operation of Gulotta, and the special McKay correspondence plays an essential…

A recently developed linear algebraic method for the computation of perturbation expansion coefficients to large order is applied to the problem of a hydrogenic atom in a magnetic field. We take as the zeroth order approximation the $D…

We study the topology dependence of finite size corrections to the Ising model partition function by considering the model on a triangular lattice embedded on a genus two surface. At criticality we observe a universal shape dependent…
Tilings are around us everywhere, and our curiosity draws us to study their properties. A tiling is a way of arranging pieces on a board, such that there is no space left uncovered, nor any space covered by more than one tile. In…
We perform a numerical study of the F-model with domain-wall boundary conditions. Various exact results are known for this particular case of the six-vertex model, including closed expressions for the partition function for any system size…
We discuss an experimental approach to open problems in toric geometry: are smooth projective toric varieties (i) projectively normal and (ii) defined by degree 2 equations? We discuss the creation of lattice polytopes defining smooth toric…
We consider a simply supported plate with constant thickness, defined on an unknown multiply connected domain. We optimize its shape according to some given performance functional. Our method is of fixed domain type, easy to be implemented,…
The dimer problem arose in a thermodynamic study of diatomic molecules, and was abstracted into one of the most basic and natural problems in both statistical mechanics and combinatoric mathematics. Given a rectangular lattice of volume V…
We adapt the Gradient Discretisation Method (GDM), originally designed for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, to the case of a linear scalar hyperbolic equations. This enables the simultaneous design and convergence…
For shape optimization problems, governed by elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary condition and random coefficients, we utilize a penalization technique to get the approximate problem. We consider that uncertainties exists in the…
In this paper we consider faultfree tromino tilings of rectangles and characterize rectangles that admit such tilings. We introduce the notion of {\it crossing numbers} for tilings and derive bounds on the crossing numbers of faultfree…
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of a class of tilings which appear in the literature: the tilings over which a height function can be defined (for example, the famous tilings of polyominoes with dominoes). We show that many…
Given a finite collection of two-dimensional tile types, the field of study concerned with covering the plane with tiles of these types exclusively has a long history, having enjoyed great prominence in the last six to seven decades. Much…
In the past three decades, the study of rhombus tilings and domino tilings of various plane regions has been a thriving subfield of enumerative combinatorics. Physicists classify such work as the study of dimer covers of finite graphs. In…
