The high computational complexity of the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is mainly caused by the subspace decomposition and spectrum search, especially for frequent real-time applications or massive sensors. In this paper,…

While discrete harmonic functions have been objects of interest for quite some time, this is not the case for discrete polyharmonic functions, as appear for instance in the asymptotics of path counting problems. In this article, a novel…

We consider composition and division algebras over the real numbers: We note two r\^oles for the group $G_{2}$: as automorphism group of the octonions and as the isotropy group of a generic 3-form in 7 dimensions. We show why they are…

We propose an analytic framework to study the nonperturbative solutions of Witten's open string field theory. The method is based on the Moyal star formulation where the kinetic term can be split into two parts. The first one describes the…

2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…

Very short computer programs, sometimes consisting of as few as three arithmetic operations in an infinite loop, can generate data that sounds like music when output as raw PCM audio. The space of such programs was recently explored by…
