In this paper, we present a high-order expansion for elliptic equations in high-contrast media. The background conductivity is taken to be one and we assume the medium contains high (or low) conductivity inclusions. We derive an asymptotic…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^\nu$, $\nu\ge 2$, be a $C^{1,1}$ domain whose boundary $\partial\Omega$ is either compact or behaves suitably at infinity. For $p\in(1,\infty)$ and $\alpha>0$, define \[…

We derive high-order terms in the asymptotic expansions of the steady-state voltage potentials in the presence of a finite number of diametrically small inhomogeneities with conductivities different from the background conductivity. Our…
Discrete sums of exponentials $g(w) = \sum a_{\beta} \mathrm{e}^{\beta w}$ with positive exponents may converge not normally in neighborhoods $H$ of $-\infty$ which do not contain half-planes. In order to obtain a decomposition of a…
We study the asymptotic growth of the entanglement entropy of ground states of non-interacting (spinless) fermions in $\mathbb R^3$ subject to a non-zero, constant magnetic field perpendicular to a plane. As for the case with no magnetic…
A standard way to calculate the asymptotic behavior of integrals of the form \int_Wg(x)e^{-nh(x)}dx is the (continuous) Laplace asymptotic method. However, also discrete sums like \sum_{x\in W\cap\Lambda_n}g_n(x)e^{-nh_n(x)} have similar…
We develop an asymptotic analysis of target fluxes in the three-dimensional (3D) narrow capture problem. The latter concerns a diffusive search process in which the targets are much smaller than the size of the search domain. The small…

We prove three theorems about the asymptotic behavior of solutions $u$ to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation at boundary points with tangent cones. First, under very mild hypotheses, we show that the doubling index…
We consider Bayesian variable selection in sparse high-dimensional regression, where the number of covariates $p$ may be large relative to the samples size $n$, but at most a moderate number $q$ of covariates are active. Specifically, we…
This paper uses the Modified Projection Method to examine the errors in solving the boundary integral equation from Laplace equation. The analysis uses weighted norms, and parallel algorithms help solve the independent linear systems. By…
Laplace's method approximates a target density with a Gaussian distribution at its mode. It is computationally efficient and asymptotically exact for Bayesian inference due to the Bernstein-von Mises theorem, but for complex targets and…
For any Riemannian metric $ds^2$ on a compact surface of genus $g$, Yang and Yau proved that the normalized first eigenvalue of the Laplacian $\lambda_1(ds^2)Area(ds^2)$ is bounded in terms of the genus. In particular, if $\Lambda_1(g)$ is…
We develop the complex scaling for a manifold with an asymptotically cylindrical end under an assumption on the analyticity of the metric with respect to the axial coordinate of the end. We allow for arbitrarily slow convergence of the…
In this paper we extend our recent work on two-dimensional (2D) diffusive search-and-capture processes with multiple small targets (narrow capture problems) by considering an asymptotic expansion of the Laplace transformed probability flux…
The asymptotic behavior of solutions to the second-order linear differential equation $d^{2}w/dz^{2}=\{u^{2}f(\alpha,z)+g(z)\}w$ is analyzed for a large real parameter $u$ and $\alpha\in[0,\alpha_{0}]$, where $\alpha_{0}>0$ is fixed. The…
Though the one-loop amplitudes of the Higgs boson to massless gauge bosons are finite because there is no direct interaction at tree-level in the Standard Model, a well-defined regularization scheme is still required for their correct…
