We study the equivalence relation on the set of acyclic orientations of an undirected graph G generated by source-to-sink conversions. These conversions arise in the contexts of admissible sequences in Coxeter theory, quiver…
An overview on the physics of spinor and dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is given. Mean-field ground states, Bogoliubov spectra, and many-body ground and excited states of spinor BECs are discussed. Properties of spin-polarized…
It is well known that the addition of noise in a multistable system can induce random transitions between stable states. The rate of transition can be characterised in terms of the noise-free system's dynamics and the added noise: for…
Frieze patterns of numbers, introduced in the early 70's by Coxeter, are currently attracting much interest due to connections with the recent theory of cluster algebras. The present paper aims to review the original work of Coxeter and the…
We consider general classes of lattice clusters, including various kinds of animals and trees on different lattices. We prove that if a given local configuration ("pattern") of sites and bonds can occur in large clusters, then it occurs at…
The Hofstadter Q-sequence, with its simple definition, has defied all attempts at analyzing its behavior. Defined by a simple nested recurrence and an initial condition, the sequence looks approximately linear, though with a lot of noise.…
Aspects of the Nos\'e and Nos\'e-Hoover dynamics developed in 1983-1984 along with Dettmann's closely related dynamics of 1996, are considered. We emphasize paradoxes associated with Liouville's Theorem. Our account is pedagogical, focused…
In this paper we construct families of bit sequences using combinatorial methods. Each sequence is derived by con- verting a collection of numbers encoding certain combinatorial nu- merics from objects exhibiting symmetry in various…
The notion of cyclic sieving phenomenon is introduced by Reiner, Stanton, and White as a generalization of Stembridge's $q=-1$ phenomenon. The generalized cluster complexes associated to root systems are given by Fomin and Reading as a…
We give a number theoretic proof of the integrality of certain BPS invariants of knots. The formulas for these numbers are sums involving binomial coefficients and the M\"obius function. We also prove a conjecture about further divisibility…
Relaxation oscillations are commonly associated with the name of Balthazar van der Pol via his eponymous paper (Philosophical Magazine, 1926) in which he apparently introduced this terminology to describe the nonlinear oscillations produced…
In a recent preprint on ArXiv, Bacher introduced a twisted version of the Stern sequence. His paper contains in particular three conjectures relating the generating series for the Stern sequence and for the twisted Stern sequence. Soon…
In this paper we give an overview of recent results on (upper and lower) discrepancy estimates for (concrete) sequences in the unit-cube. In particular we also give an overview of discrepancy estimates for certain classes of hybrid…
We consider classical nonlinear oscillators on hexagonal lattices. When the coupling between the elements is repulsive, we observe coexisting states, each one with its own basin of attraction. These states differ by their degree of…
We develop a theory of quantum fluctuations and squeezing in a three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate atom interferometer with nonlinear losses. We use stochastic equations in a truncated Wigner representation to treat quantum noise.…
By practicing the philosophy of our beloved late master, Marco Schutzenberger, to whose memory this article is dedicated, we give an insightful bijective proof of the three-term recurrence satisfied by the Hipparchus-Schroeder numbers…
Cross phenomena, representing responses of a system to external stimuli, are ubiquitous from quantum to macro scale. The Onsager theorem is often used to describe them, stating that the coefficient matrix of cross phenomena connecting the…
Using the explicit numerical solution of the axially-symmetric Gross-Pitaevskii equation we study the oscillation of the Bose-Einstein condensate induced by a periodic variation in the atomic scattering length $a$. When the frequency of…
An oscillating sequence of order $d$ is defined by the linearly disjointness from all $\{e^{2\pi i P(n)} \}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ for all real polynomials $P$ of degree smaller or equal to $d$. A fully oscillating sequence is defined to be an…
We develop techniques to deal with monotonicity of sequences z_{n+1}/z_n and \sqrt[n]{z_n}. A series of conjectures of Zhi-Wei Sun and of Amdeberhan et al. are verified in certain unified approaches.
