Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $E\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|E|=p^a$, where $0<a\le 1$. For a direction $V$ (a $1$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_p^2$), let $\pi^V:\mathbb{F}_p^2\to \mathbb{F}_p^2/V$ denote the quotient map. We…
We consider a dynamical elasto-plasticity system with Kelvin--Voigt viscosity and linear kinematic hardening of Melan--Prager type. The model is formulated in a variational framework in which a constraint set for the stress evolves in time…
Consider the probability that an arbitrary chosen lozenge tiling of the hexagon with side lengths a, b, c, a, b, c contains the horizontal lozenge with lowest vertex (x,y) as if it described the distribution of mass in the plane. We compute…
A rigidity theory is developed for the Euclidean and non-Euclidean placements of countably infinite simple graphs in R^d with respect to the classical l^p norms, for d>1 and 1<p<\infty. Generalisations are obtained for the Laman and…
We consider the system of $N$ points on the segment of the real line with the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsive interaction and external force $F$. For the fixed points of such systems (fixed configurations) we study the asymptotics (in…
We obtain some asymptotic formulae (with power savings in their error terms) for the number of quadruples in the Cartesian product of an arbitrary set $A \subset \mathbf{R}$ and for the number of quintuplets in $A\times A$ for any subset…
For problems of time-harmonic scattering by polygonal obstacles, embedding formulae provide a useful means of computing the far-field coefficient induced by any incident plane wave, given the far-field coefficient of a relatively small set…
The $L^2$-orthogonal projection onto a subspace is an important mathematical tool, which has been widely applied in many fields such as linear least squares problems, eigenvalue problems, ill-posed problems, and randomized algorithms. In…
Depinning of two-dimensional liquid ridges and three-dimensional drops on an inclined substrate is studied within the lubrication approximation. The structures are pinned to wetting heterogeneities arising from variations of the strength of…
We extend graphic statics to describe the forces and moments in 3D rigid-jointed frame structures. Graphic statics relates the form diagram (the geometrical layout of structural bars) to a reciprocal force diagram representing the forces in…
We present a new approach to verifying contraction and $L_2$-gain of uncertain nonlinear systems, extending the well-known method of integral quadratic constraints. The uncertain system consists of a feedback interconnection of a nonlinear…
In certain point processes, the configuration of points outside a bounded domain determines, with probability 1, certain statistical features of the points within the domain. This notion, called rigidity, was introduced in a work of Ghosh…
We investigate point arrangements $v_i\in\mathbb R^d,i\in \{1,...,n \}$ with certain prescribed symmetries. The arrangement space of $v$ is the column span of the matrix in which the $v_i$ are the rows. We characterize properties of $v$ in…
Linear regressions with endogeneity are widely used to estimate causal effects. This paper studies a framework that involves two common practical issues: endogeneity of the regressors and heteroskedasticity that depends on endogenous…
A central question in invariant theory is that of determining the relations among invariants. Geometric invariant theory quotients come with a natural ample line bundle, and hence often a natural projective embedding. This question…
Why would anyone wish to generalize the already unappetizing subject of rigid body motion to an arbitrary number of dimensions? At first sight, the subject seems to be both repellent and superfluous. The author will try to argue that an…
We derive discrete and continuous class of mathematical models that describe a progressive collapse in a fictional one-dimensional structure, where we consider plastic and elastic types of collisions. We examine static (collapse initiation…
The model for homogeneity of proportions in a two-way contingency-table/cross-tabulation is the same as the model of independence, except that the probabilistic process generating the data is viewed as fixing the column totals (but not the…
The classical dynamics of a particle that is driven by a rapidly oscillating potential (with frequency $\omega$) is studied. The motion is separated into a slow part and a fast part that oscillates around the slow part. The motion of the…
Given a matrix $A$, a linear feasibility problem (of which linear classification is a special case) aims to find a solution to a primal problem $w: A^Tw > \textbf{0}$ or a certificate for the dual problem which is a probability distribution…
