We give an alternative method to that of Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher to derive the leading exponential term in the asymptotic approximation to the partition function p(n,a), defined as the number of decompositions of a positive integer 'n'…
This paper gives an exposition of well known results on vector partition functions. The exposition is based on works of M. Brion, A. Szenes and M. Vergne and is geared toward explicit computer realizations. In particular, the paper presents…
A convenient way to calculate $N$-particle quantum partition functions is by confining the particles in a weak harmonic potential instead of using a finite box or periodic boundary conditions. There is, however, a slightly different…
The partition function, $p_A(n)$, is defined to be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in the set A, where $n$ is a positive integer and $A$ is a set of positive integers. It is well documented that: if A is a finite set with…
In this paper, we construct a countable partition $\mathscr{A}$ for flows with hyperbolic singularities by introducing a new cross section at each singularity. Such partition forms a Kakutani tower in a neighborhood of the singularity, and…
We derive asymptotic formulas for the number of integer partitions with given sums of $j$th powers of the parts for $j$ belonging to a finite, non-empty set $J \subset \mathbb N$. The method we use is based on the `principle of maximum…
We provide a complete description of the asymptotics of the gradient flow on the space of metrics on any semistable quiver representation. This involves a recursive construction of approximate solutions and the appearance of iterated…
We consider a partially asymmetric exclusion process (PASEP) on a finite number of sites with open and directed boundary conditions. Its partition function was calculated by Blythe, Evans, Colaiori, and Essler. It is known to be a…

We present a family of relatively simple and unified lower bounds on the capacity of the Gaussian channel under a set of pointwise additive input constraints. Specifically, the admissible channel input vectors $\bx = (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$…
Let $\mathcal{A}=\left(a_i\right)_{i=1}^\infty$ be a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers and let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. For an arbitrary integer $n$, the restricted partition $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ enumerates all the…
A detailed analysis is presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the lattice Boltzmann method. Thorough comparisons with other numerical solutions for the two-dimensional, driven cavity flow show that the lattice Boltzmann method gives…
We formulate a finite-particle method of mass transport that accounts for general mixed boundary conditions. The particle method couples a geometrically-exact treatment of advection; Wasserstein gradient-flow dynamics; and a…
We introduce a new technique, which we call the boundary method, for solving semi-discrete optimal transport problems with a wide range of cost functions. The boundary method reduces the effective dimension of the problem, thus improving…
Stationary and isotropic iteration stable random tessellations are considered, which can be constructed by a random process of cell division. The collection of maximal polytopes at a fixed time $t$ within a convex window $W\subset{\Bbb…
Partition functions arise in statistical physics and probability theory as the normalizing constant of Gibbs measures and in combinatorics and graph theory as graph polynomials. For instance the partition functions of the hard-core model…
Inertial lift forces are exploited within inertial microfluidic devices to position, segregate, and sort particles or droplets. However the forces and their focusing positions can currently only be predicted by numerical simulations, making…
We apply some recent developments of Baldoni-Beck-Cochet-Vergne on vector partition function, to Kostant's and Steinberg's formulae, for classical Lie algebras $A\_r$, $B\_r$, $C\_r$, $D\_r$. We therefore get efficient {\tt Maple} programs…
We introduce a map which reproduces qualitatively many fundamental properties of the dynamics of heavy particles in fluid flows. These include a uniform rate of decrease of volume in phase space, a slow-manifold effective dynamics when the…
