This is a replacement paper. There are 6 chapters. The first two chapters are introductory. The third chapter is on extremal graph theory. The fourth chapter is about algebra in graph theory. The fifth chapter is focused on algorithms. The…
This paper starts with a biographical sketch of the life of Josef Meixner. Then his motivations to work on orthogonal polynomials and special functions are reviewed. Meixner's 1934 paper introducing the Meixner and Meixner-Pollaczek…
We reflect on the life and influence of the academic journal, charting their history and contributions, discussing how their influence changed society, and examining how in death they will be mourned for what they initially stood for but in…
Some personal reflections on the past and future of "econophysics", to appear in Europhysics News
This is an English translation of Felix Klein's paper "Ueber die Transformation elfter Ordnung der elliptischen Functionen" from 1879.
In the paper "origami rings" by Joe Buhler et al. the authors investigate the so called origami rings. Taking this paper as a starting point we find some further properties of these rings.
The present notes are based on a course on Cherednik algebras given by the first author at MIT in the Fall of 2009. Their goal is to give an introduction to Cherednik algebras, and to review the web of connections between them and other…
The philosopher Plato is remembered even today by scientists, and his writings are still inspiring the scientific research. In the present short note (intended essentially for public outreach) two examples are briefly illustrated: 1) the…
Several algorithms for tracking and for primary and secondary vertex reconstruction have been developed by the ATLAS collaboration following different approaches. This has allowed a thorough cross-check of the performances of the algorithms…
After a brief review of the idea and main results of the original p-adic string work, I describe the recent interest in p-adic strings in the context of AdS/CFT duality
These short notes are meant as a quick reference for the construction of SLR(1), of LR(1), and of LALR(1) parsing tables.

Work in progress concerning alternative formalizations of arithmetic.
I discuss some compelling suggestions about particles which could be the dark matter in the universe, with special attention to experimental searches for them.
This paper describes some of the ideas used in the development of our work on small gaps between primes.
I first met Louis Nirenberg in person in 1972 when I became a Courant Instructor. He was already a celebrated mathematician and a suave sophisticated New Yorker, even though he was born in Hamilton, Canada and grew up in Montreal. In this…
The paper is withdrawn and will be replaced at a later time by a significantly revised and extended version.
The original Schrodinger's paper is translated and annotated in honour of the 70-th anniversary of his Uncertainty Relation [published also in: Bulg. Journal of Physics,vol.26,no.5/6 (1999) pp.193-203]. In the annotation it is shown that…
In this poster I briefly review several articles on astrophysics of old isolated neutron stars, which were published in 1994-99 by my co-authors and myself.
We present some questions and suggestion on the second part of the Hilbert 16th problem
