Polar molecules are desirable systems for quantum simulations and cold chemistry. Molecular ions are easily trapped, but a bias electric field applied to polarize them tends to accelerate them out of the trap. We present a general solution…
Accurate estimation of the position of network nodes is essential, e.g., in localization, geographic routing, and vehicular networks. Unfortunately, typical positioning techniques based on ranging or on velocity and angular measurements are…

We consider a lattice of weakly coupled expanding circle maps. We construct, via a cluster expansion of the Perron-Frobenius operator, an invariant measure for these infinite dimensional dynamical systems which exhibits space-time-chaos.
We consider an inverse problem arising in thermo-/photo- acoustic tomography that amounts to reconstructing a function $f$ from its circular or spherical means with the centers lying on a given measurement surface. (Equivalently, these…
Faraday rotation measure (RM) synthesis is a well-known approach originated in Burn (1966) and later developed by Brentjens \& de Bruyn (2005) for studying magnetic fields. This work presents a complementary approach--the polarization…

Optical Faraday rotation is one of the most direct and practically important manifestations of magnetically broken time-reversal symmetry. The rotation angle is proportional to the distance traveled by the light, and up to now sizeable…
Piecewise affine maps (PAMs) are frequently used as a reference model to show the openness of the reachability questions in other systems. The reachability problem for one-dimentional PAM is still open even if we define it with only two…
