For $k \in \mathbb{N}$, write $S(k)$ for the largest natural number such that there is a $k$-colouring of $\{1,\dots,S(k)\}$ with no monochromatic solution to $x-y=z^2$. That $S(k)$ exists is a result of Bergelson, and a simple example…
Spectral measures arise in numerous applications such as quantum mechanics, signal processing, resonances, and fluid stability. Similarly, spectral decompositions (pure point, absolutely continuous and singular continuous) often…
A matching is compatible to two or more labeled point sets of size $n$ with labels $\{1,\dots,n\}$ if its straight-line drawing on each of these point sets is crossing-free. We study the maximum number of edges in a matching compatible to…
Let $0<m<n$ be integers, and let $K_w$ denote the completion of a number field $K$ at a non-trivial place $w$. For each non-zero $\textbf{u}\in K_w^n$, let $\omega_{m-1}(\textbf{u})$ denote the exponent of best approximation to $\textbf{u}$…

Let C be a Cantor set. For a real number t let C+t be the translate of C by t, We say two real numbers s,t are equivalent if the intersection of C and C+s is a translate of the intersection of C and C+t. We consider a class of Cantor sets…
We consider the problem of optimal linear response for deterministic expanding maps of the circle. To each infinitesimal perturbation $\dot{T}$ of a circle map $T$ we consider (i) the response of the expectation of an observation function…
Two distinct measurement schemes have emerged for the new technique of two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS), complicating the literature. Here, we argue that the 'conventional' measurement scheme derived from nuclear magnetic…
We combine our version of the resonance method with certain convolution formulas for $\zeta(s)$ and $\log\, \zeta(s)$. This leads to a new $\Omega$ result for $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$: The maximum of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the interval $1 \le t \le…
In this work, we reformulate the problem of existence of maximal elements for preference relations as a variational inequality problem in the sense of Stampacchia. Similarly, we establish the uniqueness of maximal elements using a…
The Spectral Problem is to describe possible spectra $\sigma (A_j)$ for an irreducible $n$-tuple of Hermitian operators s.t. $A_1+...+A_n$ is a scalar operator. In case when $m_j= | \sigma (A_j)|$ are finite and a rooted tree ${\rm…
In recent years, astronomical photometry has been revolutionised by space missions such as MOST, CoRoT and Kepler. However, despite this progress, high-quality spectroscopy is still required as well. Unfortunately, high-resolution spectra…
This paper is devoted to the study of the conformal spectrum (and more precisely the first eigenvalue) of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a smooth connected compact Riemannian surface without boundary, endowed with a conformal class. We…
In this paper, we address the line spectral estimation problem with multiple measurement corrupted vectors. Such scenarios appear in many practical applications such as radar, optics, and seismic imaging in which the signal of interest can…
The simplest unified extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with bi-linear R--Parity violation provides a predictive scheme for neutrino masses which can account for the observed atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies in…
Spectral analysis is performed on the Born equation, a strongly singular integral equation modeling the interactions between electromagnetic waves and arbitrarily shaped dielectric scatterers. Compact and Hilbert--Schmidt operator…
In this paper, we consider a certain convolutional Laplacian for metric measure spaces and investigate its potential for the statistical analysis of complex objects. The spectrum of that Laplacian serves as a signature of the space under…
M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…
Symmetry is an important problem in many combinatorial problems. One way of dealing with symmetry is to add constraints that eliminate symmetric solutions. We survey recent results in this area, focusing especially on two common and useful…
For deuteron photo- and electrodisintegration the selection of complete sets of polarization observables is discussed in detail by applying a recently developed new criterion for the check of completeness of a chosen set of observables. The…
