Motivated by the observation of localized circular excitations (`oscillons') in vertically vibrated granular layers (P.B. Umbanhowar, F. Melo and H.L. Swinney, Nature 382 (1996) 793), we numerically investigate an extension of a…
Surface and bulk critical properties of an aperiodic spin chain are investigated in the framework of the $\phi^4$ phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory. According to Luck's criterion, the mean field correlation length exponent $\nu=1/2$…
Let $\mathbb F=\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$ and $n\in\b N$. Let $(S_k)_{k\ge0}$ be a time-homogeneous random walk on $GL_n(\b F)$ associated with an $U_n(\b F)$-biinvariant measure $\nu\in M^1(GL_n(\b F))$. We derive a central limit theorem…
Sequences diverge either because they head off to infinity or because they oscillate. Part 1 \cite{Part1} of this paper laid the pure mathematics groundwork by defining Archimedean classes of infinite numbers as limits of smooth sequences.…
Orientable sequences of order n are infinite periodic sequences with symbols drawn from a finite alphabet of size k with the property that any particular subsequence of length n occurs at most once in a period in either direction. They were…
We apply the methods of modern analytic bootstrap to the critical $O(N)$ model in a $1/N$ expansion. At infinite $N$ the model possesses higher spin symmetry which is weakly broken as we turn on $1/N$. By studying consistency conditions for…
In 1982, Ungar proved that the connecting lines of a set of $n$ noncollinear points in the plane determine at least $2\lfloor n/2 \rfloor$ directions (slopes). Sets achieving this minimum for $n$ odd (even) are called…
This article outlines sufficient conditions under which a one-dimensional chain of identical nonlinear oscillators can display complex spatio-temporal behavior. The units are described by phase equations and consist of excitable…
Oscillatory dynamics of complex networks has recently attracted great attention. In this paper we study pattern formation in oscillatory complex networks consisting of excitable nodes. We find that there exist a few center nodes and small…
Affinity has proven to be a useful tool for quantifying the non-equilibrium character of time continuous Markov processes since it serves as a measure for the breaking of time reversal symmetry. It has recently been conjectured that the…
Given a sequence of complex square matrices, $a_n$, consider the sequence of their partial products, defined by $p_n=p_{n-1}a_{n}$. What can be said about the asymptotics as $n\to\infty$ of the sequence $f(p_n)$, where $f$ is a continuous…
Oscillations arise in many real-world systems and are associated with both functional and dysfunctional states. Whether a network can oscillate can be estimated if we know the strength of interaction between nodes. But in real-world…
Aperiodic autocorrelation is an important indicator of performance of sequences used in communications, remote sensing, and scientific instrumentation. Knowing a sequence's autocorrelation function, which reports the autocorrelation at…
The aim of this paper is to provide complementary quantitative extensions of two results of H.S. Shapiro on the time-frequency concentration of orthonormal sequences in $L^2 (\R)$. More precisely, Shapiro proved that if the elements of an…
We study boundary inference at $H=3/4$ for mixed fractional Brownian motion and mixed fractional Ornstein--Uhlenbeck models under high-frequency observation. This boundary is economically important because it separates the critical and…
We investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional array of oscillators with phase-shifted coupling. Each oscillator is allowed to interact with its neighbors within a finite radius. The system exhibits various patterns including squarelike…
The O$(N)$ vector model in the presence of a boundary has a non-trivial fixed point in $(4-\epsilon)$ dimensions and exhibits critical behaviors described by boundary conformal field theory. The spectrum of boundary operators is…
Oscillatory activity is ubiquitous in natural and engineered network systems. The interaction scheme underlying interdependent oscillatory components governs the emergence of network-wide patterns of synchrony that regulate and enable…
We study the asymptotic behavior of a bounded solution of an inhomogeneous delay linear difference equation in a Banach space by using the spectrum of bounded sequences. We get a significant extension of excellent results in [1]. A new…
The scaling behavior of the closed trajectories of a moving particle generated by randomly placed rotators or mirrors on a square or triangular lattice is studied numerically. For most concentrations of the scatterers the trajectories close…
