Let $(M,g)$ be a surface with Riemannian metric and curved conic singularities. More precisely, a neighbourhood of a singularity is isometric to $(0,1)\times S^1$ with metric $g_{\text{conic}}=dr^2+f(r)^2d\theta^2, r\in(0,1)$. We study the…
We consider encoding problems for range queries on arrays. In these problems the goal is to store a structure capable of recovering the answer to all queries that occupies the information theoretic minimum space possible, to within lower…
We investigate the spectral statistics of Hermitian matrices in which the elements are chosen uniformly from U (1), called the uni-modular ensemble (UME), in the limit of large matrix size. Using three complimentary methods; a…
In this paper, we shed new light on the spectrum of the relation algebra we call $A_{n}$, which is obtained by splitting the non-flexible diversity atom of $6_{7}$ into $n$ symmetric atoms. Precisely, we show that the minimum value in…
We introduce a new criterion which tests if a given decomposition of a given ternary form $T$ of even degree is unique. The criterion is based on the analysis of the Hilbert function of the projective set of points $Z$ associated to the…
We investigate some bounded linear operators T on a Hilbert space which satisfy the condition |T | less or equal to |ReT |. We describe the maximum invariant subspace for a contraction T on which T is a partial isometry to obtain that, in…
Topoelectrical circuits are meta-material realizations of topological features of condensed matter systems. In this work, we discuss experimental methods that allow a fast and straightforward detection of the spectral features of these…
This paper concerns a spectral estimation problem for multivariate (i.e., vector-valued) signals defined on a multidimensional domain, abbreviated as M$^2$. The problem is posed as solving a finite number of trigonometric moment equations…
We extend existing results that characterize isometries on the Tsirelson-type spaces $T\big[\frac{1}{n}, \mathcal{S}_1\big]$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}, n\geq 2$) to the class $T[\theta, \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}]$ ($\theta \in \big(0, \frac{1}{2}\big]$,…
In this paper, we study the problem of testing whether or not a given probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ can be decomposed as a mixture of two probability measures whose second order statistics are significantly different. We…
We find a sharp combinatorial bound for the metric entropy of sets in R^n and general classes of functions. This solves two basic combinatorial conjectures on the empirical processes. 1. A class of functions satisfies the uniform Central…
Two major challenges of numeric analytic continuation---restoring the spectral density, $s(\omega)$, from the corresponding Matsubara correlator, $g(\tau)$---are (i) producing the most smooth/featureless answer for $s(\omega)$ without…
A self-adjoint element in a finite AW*-factor is spectrally symmetric, if its spectral measure under the quasitrace is invariant under the change of variables $t\longmapsto -t$. We show that if $\mathcal{A}$ is an AW*-factor of type II_1, a…
This paper considers pairs of optimization problems that are defined from a single input and for which it is desired to find a good approximation to either one of the problems. In many instances, it is possible to efficiently find an…
Let F be a field. We investigate the greatest possible dimension t_n(F) for a vector space of n-by-n matrices with entries in F and in which every element is triangularizable over the ground field F. It is obvious that t_n(F) is greater…
The problem of variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under an additive bounded perturbation is considered. The aim is to find the best possible upper bound on the norm of the difference of two spectral…
This paper is devoted to the description of the interval of parameters for which the general linear $n^{\rm th}$-order equation \begin{equation} \label{e-Ln} T_n[M]\,u(t) \equiv u^{(n)}(t)+a_1(t)\, u^{(n-1)}(t)+\cdots +a_{n-1}(t)\,…
Let a torus $T$ act freely on a closed manifold $M$ of dimension at least two. We demonstrate that, for a generic $T$-invariant Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$, each real $\Delta_g$-eigenspace is an irreducible real representation of $T$ and,…
By a famous result of Doyen, Hubaut and Vandensavel \cite{DHV}, the 2-rank of a Steiner triple system on $2^n-1$ points is at least $2^n -1 -n$, and equality holds only for the classical point-line design in the projective geometry…
This paper offers two elementary yet precise derivations of an exact formula \[ W(n) = \sum_{i=1} ^{n} \lceil \lg i \rceil = n \lceil \lg n \rceil - 2^{\lceil \lg n \rceil} + 1 \] for the maximum number $ W(n) $ of comparisons of keys…
