In these expository notes we focus on selected topics around the themes: Delone sets as models for quasicrystals, inflation symmetries and expansion constants, substitution Delone sets and tilings, and associated dynamical systems.
Vector equilibrium problems are a natural generalization to the context of partially ordered spaces of the Ky Fan inequality, where scalar bifunctions are replaced with vector bifunctions. In the present paper, the local geometry of the…
We investigate the properties of a class of piecewise-fractional maps arising from the introduction of an invariance under rescaling into convex quadratic maps. The subsequent maps are quasiconvex, and pseudoconvex on specific convex cones;…
In twisted Diophantine approximation, for a fixed $m\times n$ matrix $\boldsymbol\alpha$ one is interested in sets of vectors $\boldsymbol\beta\in\mathbb R^m$ such that the system of affine forms $\mathbb R^n \ni \mathbf q \mapsto…
We show that every tiling of a convex set in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ by equilateral triangles of mutually different sizes contains arbitrarily small tiles. The proof is purely elementary up to the discussion of one family of…
Systems of fuzzy relation equations and inequalities in which an unknown fuzzy relation is on the one side of the equation or inequality are linear systems. They are the most studied ones, and a vast literature on linear systems focuses on…
We study the problems of covering or partitioning a polygon $P$ (possibly with holes) using a minimum number of small pieces, where a small piece is a connected sub-polygon contained in an axis-aligned unit square. For covering, we seek to…
This work belongs to the framework of inverse problems with linear model. The resolution of this type of problem consists in minimizing (possibly under constraints) a function of discrepancy between the measurements and a physical model of…
This paper deals with some nonlinear problems which exponential and biexponential decays are involved in. A proof of the quasiconvexity of the error function in some of these problems of optimization is presented. This proof is restricted…
Many uncertainty sets encountered in control systems analysis and design can be expressed in terms of semialgebraic sets, that is as the intersection of sets described by means of polynomial inequalities. Important examples are for instance…
The main purpose of this article is to establish new uniqueness results for Calder\'on type inverse problems related to damped nonlocal wave equations. To achieve this goal we extend the theory of very weak solutions to our setting, which…
The numerical solution methods for partial differential equation (PDE) solution allow obtaining a discrete field that converges towards the solution if the method is applied to the correct problem. Nevertheless, the numerical methods…
The problem of covering a region of the plane with a fixed number of minimum-radius identical balls is studied in the present work. An explicit construction of bi-Lipschitz mappings is provided to model small perturbations of the union of…
We present two approximate versions of the proximal subgradient method for minimizing the sum of two convex functions (not necessarily differentiable). The algorithms involve, at each iteration, inexact evaluations of the proximal operator…
For $d\in\{5,6\}$, we classify arrangements of $d + 2$ points in $\mathbf{RP}^{d-1}$ for which the minimum distance is as large as possible. To do so, we leverage ideas from matrix and convex analysis to determine the best possible codes…
Consider Bernoulli(1/2) percolation on $\Z^d$, and define a perfect matching between open and closed vertices in a way that is a deterministic equivariant function of the configuration. We want to find such matching rules that make the…
Given n points in Euclidean space E^d, we propose an algebraic algorithm to compute the best fitting (d-1)-cylinder. This algorithm computes the unknown direction of the axis of the cylinder. The location of the axis and the radius of the…
In backward error analysis, an approximate solution to an equation is compared to the exact solution to a nearby modified equation. In numerical ordinary differential equations, the two agree up to any power of the step size. If the…
Reducing communication - either between levels of a memory hierarchy or between processors over a network - is a key component of performance optimization (in both time and energy) for many problems, including dense linear algebra, particle…
We present and study approximate notions of dimensional and margin complexity, which correspond to the minimal dimension or norm of an embedding required to approximate, rather then exactly represent, a given hypothesis class. We show that…
