We undertake a detailed study of the $L^2$ discrepancy of rational and irrational 2-dimensional lattices either with or without symmetrization. We give a full characterization of lattices with optimal $L^2$ discrepancy in terms of the…
Many insects like ants communicate chemically via chemotaxis. This allows them to build large trail systems which in many respects are similar to human-build highway networks. Using a recently proposed stochastic cellular automaton model we…
In this paper we describe a minimal model for annular sorting by Leptothorax ants. Simulation results are consistent with the structures observed in actual ant colonies.
The generalized Lie symmetries of almost regular Lagrangians are studied, and their impact on the evolution of dynamical systems is determined. It is found that if the action has a generalized Lie symmetry, then the Lagrangian is…
We investigate asymptotic behaviour of averaging operators for actions of simple rank-one Lie groups. It was previously known that these averaging operators converge almost everywhere, and we establish a more precise asymptotic formula that…
Swarming phenomena are ubiquitous in various physical, biological, and social systems, where simple local interactions between individual units lead to complex global patterns. A common feature of diverse swarming phenomena is that the…
In this, the eighth article in my Derived Langlands series, I describe the construction of a 2-variable L-function for two representations of general linear groups of a $p$-adic local field. Due to extenuating health circumstances, many of…
We describe a procedure that contributes to modify the asymptotic behavior of kinks in a model described by two real scalar fields. The investigation takes advantage of a first order formalism based on energy minimization to unveil how to…
Generically, in models of driven interacting particles the average speed of the particles decreases monotonically with increasing density. We propose a counter-example, motivated by the motion of ants in a trail, where the average speed of…
In this paper, we derive higher-order expansions of $L$-statistics of independent risks $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ under conditions on the underlying distribution function $F$. The new results are applied to derive the asymptotic expansions of…
We establish some asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolutions of distributions having light subexponential tails. Examples are presented, some showing that in order to obtain an expansion with two significant terms, one needs…
The aim of this paper is to give, using some contiguous relations, the asymptotic behaviour of some linear combination of two symmetric contiguous hypergeometric functions, under some conditions of their parameters.
A few of ant robots are dropped to a labirynth, formed by a square lattice with a small number of nodes removed. Ants move according to a deterministic algorithm designed to explore all corridors. Each ant remembers the shape of corridors…
General expressions for the double-lepton polarizations in the (B -> K l^+ l^-) decay are obtained, using model independent effective Hamiltonian, including all possible interactions. Correlations between the averaged double-lepton…
For general asymptotically sub-additive potentials (resp. asymptotically additive potentials) on general topological dynamical systems, we establish some variational relations between the topological entropy of the level sets of Lyapunov…
We adapt the techniques in Stigler [Ann. Statist. 1 (1973) 472--477] to obtain a new, general asymptotic result for trimmed $U$-statistics via the generalized $L$-statistic representation introduced by Serfling [Ann. Statist. 12 (1984)…
In this note I describe some modification of the Langlands correspondence and explain why it is more natural. I will also discuss its significance to the theory of automorphic L-functions.
Asymptotic almost automorphy is introduced and studied in the context of some algebras of generalized functions. We also give applications to neutral difference differential systems in the framework of such generalized functions.
This note is devoted to the study of the maximum of the excursion of a random walk with negative drift and light-tailed increments. More precisely, we determine the local asymptotics of the joint distribution of the length, maximum and the…
Analytic solutions and their formal asymptotic expansions for a family of the singularly perturbed $q-$difference-differential equations in the complex domain are constructed. They stand for a $q-$analog of the singularly perturbed partial…
