We prove the consistency (modulo supercompact) of a negative answer to Arhangelskii's problem (some Hausdorff compact space cannot be partitioned to two sets not containing a closed copy of Cantor discontinuum). In this model we have CH.…
We consider the question of existence of a unique invariant probability distribution which satisfies some evolutionary property. The problem arises from the random graph theory but to answer it we treat it as a dynamical system in the…
The current literature on sandpile models mainly deals with the abelian sandpile model (ASM) and its variants. We treat a less known - but equally interesting - model, namely Zhang's sandpile. This model differs in two aspects from the ASM.…
Although standard quantum mechanics has some non-local features, the probability current of the Schr\"odinger equation is locally conserved, and this allows minimal electromagnetic coupling. For some important extensions of the…
We consider the scenario where a company C manufactures in bulk pure entangled pairs of particles, each pair intended for a distinct pair of distant customers. Unfortunately, its delivery service is inept - the probability that any given…
We consider the problem of constructing a weakly-continuous mapping extending continuous mapping defined on a dense set of a topological space to the entire space. Theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such an…
We reply to the comment cond-mat/9902073 by Ben-Naim and Krapivsky on our paper cond-mat/9901130. We show that their arguments are incorrect, and present more numerical results to back our earlier conclusions.
The electronic structure calculations based upon energy density functionals are highly successful and widely used both in solid state physics and quantum chemistry. Moreover, the Hohenberg-Kohn theorems and the Kohn-Sham method provide them…
We consider the following recurrence relation with random i.i.d. coefficients $(a_n,b_n)$: $$ x_{n+1}=a_{n+1} x_n+b_{n+1} $$ where $a_n\in GL(d,\mathbb{R}),b_n\in \mathbb{R}^d$. Under natural conditions on $(a_n,b_n)$ this equation has a…
We are interested in developing a numerical method for capturing stationary sheaths, that a plasma forms in contact with a metallic wall. This work is based on a bi-species (ion/electron) Vlasov-Amp{\`e}re model proposed in [3]. The main…
We develop a statistical theory for the dynamics of non-aligning, non-interacting self-propelled particles confined in a convex box in two dimensions. We find that when the size of the box is small compared to the persistence length of a…
We prove the convergence of solutions of nonlocal conservation laws to their local entropic counterpart for a fundamentally extended class of nonlocal kernels when these kernels approach a Dirac distribution. The nonlocal kernels are…
The law of mass action is used widely. The law of mass action does not automatically conserve current, as is clear from mathematics of a simple case, chosen to illustrate the issues. The law of mass action does not force a series of…
We study the diffusion phenomena on the negatively curved surface made up of congruent heptagons. Unlike the usual two-dimensional plane, this structure makes the boundary increase exponentially with the distance from the center, and hence…
We show that a Tychonoff discretely star-Lindelof space can have arbitrarily big extent and note that there are consistent examples of normal discretely star-Lindelof spaces with uncountable extent.
Continuing [Fuchino, Ottenbreit and Sakai[9, 10]] and [Fuchino and Ottenbreit[11]], we further study reflection principles in connection with the L\"owenheim-Skolem Theorems of stationary logics. In this paper, we mainly analyze the…
This note presents a simple proof of the monotonicity of the invariant distribution of a discrete Markov chain with a finite state space. This answers a question recently raised by David Siegmund.
In this paper we study the stability of an homogeneous black string in the presence of a negative cosmological constant with minimally coupled scalar fields by using the large $D$ effective theory. This method allows us to explore the…
The aim of this work is to establish the celebrated Denjoy-Wolff Theorem in the context of generalized Loewner chains. In contrast with the classical situation where essentially convergence to a certain point in the closed unit disk is the…
We present a convergence result from nonlocal to local behavior for a system of nonlocal balance laws. The velocity field of the underlying conservation laws is diagonal. In contrast, the coupling to the remaining balance laws involves a…
