It is shown that the projection image of an oriented spatial arc to any oriented plane is approximated by a unique arc diagram (up to isomorphic arc diagrams) determined from the spatial arc and the projection. In a separated paper, the…
It has been shown that the edge structure of the characteristic imset polytope is closely connected to the question of causal discovery. The diameter of a polytope is an indicator of how connected the polytope is and moreover gives us a…
In this paper we introduce a new sequence of quantities for random polytopes. Let $K_N=\conv\{X_1,...,X_N\}$ be a random polytope generated by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body $K$ of $\R^n$. We…
We initiate the study of limit shapes for random permutations avoiding a given pattern. Specifically, for patterns of length 3, we obtain delicate results on the asymptotics of distributions of positions of numbers in the permutations. We…
We construct a tractable model to describe the rate at which a knotted polymer is ejected from a spherical capsid via a small pore. Knots are too large to fit through the pore and must reptate to the end of the polymer for ejection to…
We investigate the knotting probability after a local strand passage is performed in an unknotted self-avoiding polygon on the simple cubic lattice. We assume that two polygon segments have already been brought close together for the…
We have examined the behaviors of a knotted linear polymer in narrow tubes using Langevin dynamics simulation to investigate the knot localization property in one-dimensional (1D) geometry. We have found that the knot is strongly localized…
We study experimentally statistical properties of the opening times of knots in vertically vibrated granular chains. Our measurements are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with a theoretical model involving three random walks…
Conformation-dependent design of polymer sequences can be considered as a tool to control macromolecular self-assembly. We consider the monomer unit sequences created via the modification of polymers in a homogeneous melt in accordance with…
We consider random rectangles in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that are distributed according to a Poisson random measure, i.e., independently and uniformly scattered in the plane. The distributions of the length and the width of the rectangles are…
We present simulations of self-avoiding random walks on 2-d lattices with the topology of an infinitely long cylinder, in the limit where the cylinder circumference L is much smaller than the Flory radius. We study in particular the…
We consider the problem of an inextensible but flexible fiber advected by a steady chaotic flow, and ask the simple question whether the fiber can spontaneously knot itself. Using a 1D Cosserat model, a simple local viscous drag model and…
This paper is based on the study of random lozenge tilings of non-convex polygonal regions with interacting non-convexities (cuts) and the corresponding asymptotic kernel as in [3] and [4] (discrete tacnode kernel). Here this kernel is used…
A lattice model of the directed self-avoiding walk is used to estimate the possibility on the formation of an infinitely long linear semi-flexible copolymer chain. The copolymer chain is assumed to composed of four different types of the…
We consider an analogue of the Kac random walk on the special orthogonal group $SO(N)$, in which at each step a random rotation is performed in a randomly chosen 2-plane of $\bR^N$. We obtain sharp asymptotics for the rate of convergence in…
The chord length probability density of the regular octahedron is explicitly evaluated throughout its full range of distances by separating it into three contributions respectively due to the pairs of facets opposite to each other or…
The main goal of this article is to understand how the length spectrum of a random surface depends on its genus. Here a random surface means a surface obtained by randomly gluing together an even number of triangles carrying a fixed metric.…
In polymer physics it is typically assumed that excluded volume interactions are effectively screened in polymer melts. Hence, chains could be described by an effective random walk without excluded volume interactions. In this letter, we…
This Comment corrects the error which appeared in the calculation of the degree distribution of random apollonian networks. As a result, the expression of $P(k)$, which gives the probability that a randomly selected node has exactly $k$…
We study a large class of stochastic $p$-Laplace Allen-Cahn equations with singular potential. Under suitable assumptions on the (multiplicative-type) noise we first prove existence, uniqueness, and regularity of variational solutions.…
