One of the main objectives of topological data analysis is the study of discrete invariants for persistence modules, in particular when dealing with multiparameter persistence modules. In many cases, the invariants studied for these…
We consider clustering in the perturbation resilience model that has been studied since the work of Bilu and Linial [ICS, 2010] and Awasthi, Blum and Sheffet [Inf. Proc. Lett., 2012]. A clustering instance $I$ is said to be…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a system of $n$ coupled, self-propelled particles: $\ddot r_k = (\alpha-\beta |\dot r_k|^2)\dot r_k - \frac{\gamma}{n}\sum_{m=1}^n(r_k-r_m)$, $r_k\in \mathbb R^2.$ Numerical experiments indicate that,…
Model-based clustering is a powerful tool that is often used to discover hidden structure in data by grouping observational units that exhibit similar response values. Recently, clustering methods have been developed that permit…
This paper is concerned with a new optimization problem named "phase change rate maximization" for single-input-single-output linear time-invariant systems. The problem relates to two control problems, namely robust instability analysis…
An intriguing phenomenon displayed by granular flows and predicted by kinetic-theory-based models is the instability known as particle "clustering," which refers to the tendency of dissipative grains to form transient, loose regions of…
We introduce a relaxation of stability, called almost sure stability, which is insensitive to perturbations by subsets of Loeb measure $0$ in a non-standard finite group. We show that almost sure stability satisfies a stationarity principle…
We perform numerical simulations of magneto-rotational instability in a local patch of accretion disk in which radiation pressure exceeds gas pressure. Such conditions may occur in the central regions of disks surrounding compact objects in…
It is demonstrated that finite-pressure, approximately quasi-axisymmetric stellarator equilibria can be directly constructed (without numerical optimization) via perturbations of given axisymmetric equilibria. The size of such perturbations…
We study the stability of amorphous solids, focusing on the distribution P(x) of the local stress increase x that would lead to an instability. We argue that this distribution is singular P(x)x^{\theta}, where the exponent {\theta} is…
Granular crystallisation is an important phenomenon whereby ordered packing structures form in granular matter under vibration. However, compared with the well-developed principles of crystallisation at the atomic scale, crystallisation in…
In critical systems, the effect of a localized perturbation affects points that are arbitrarily far from the perturbation location. In this paper, we study the effect of localized perturbations on the solution of the random dimer problem in…
The motion of oscillatory-like nonlinear Hamiltonian systems, driven by a weak noise, is considered. A general method to find regions of stability in the phase space of a randomly-driven system, based on a specific Poincar\'e map, is…
Dynamical studies suggest that most of the circumbinary discs (CBDs) should be coplanar. However, under certain initial conditions, the CBD can evolve toward polar orientation. Here we extend the parametric study of polar configurations…
We verify that for all $n \geq 3$ and $2 \leq k \leq n+1$, the standard $k$-bubble clusters, conjectured to be minimizing total perimeter in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $\mathbb{S}^n$ and $\mathbb{H}^n$, are stable -- an infinitesimal regular…
