New iterative methods for solving linear equations are presented that are easy to use, generalize good existing methods, and appear to be faster. The new algorithms mix two kinds of linear recurrence formulas. Older methods have either high…
In a recent paper with Sahi and Stokman, we introduced quasi-polynomial generalizations of Macdonald polynomials for arbitrary root systems via a new class of representations of the double affine Hecke algebra. These objects depend on a…
In this article we replace the semi-heuristic derivation of the Rosenfeld functional of hard convex particles with the systematic calculation of Mayer clusters. It is shown that each cluster integral further decomposes into diagrams of…
We introduce a general technique to create an extended formulation of a mixed-integer program. We classify the integer variables into blocks, each of which generates a finite set of vector values. The extended formulation is constructed by…
Our approach to higher order Fourier analysis is to study the ultra product of finite (or compact) Abelian groups on which a new algebraic theory appears. This theory has consequences on finite (or compact) groups usually in the form of…
We formulate PanScales final-state showers that account for quark masses and achieve next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while preserving the original accuracy of the showers for observables where the mass of the quarks is irrelevant. We…
Within the broad context of quark-lepton unification, we investigate the implications of broken continuous family symmetries which result from requiring that in the limit of exact symmetry, the Dirac mass matrices yield hierarchical masses…
We introduce the notion of confinement of decompositions for forms or vector of forms. The confinement, when it holds, lowers the number of parameters that one needs to consider, in order to find all the possible decompositions of a given…
Jets constructed via clustering algorithms (e.g., anti-$k_T$, soft-drop) have been proposed for many precision measurements, such as the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ and the nucleon intrinsic dynamics. However, the theoretical accuracy is…
The Laguerre symmetric functions introduced in the note are indexed by arbitrary partitions and depend on two continuous parameters. The top degree homogeneous component of every Laguerre symmetric function coincides with the Schur function…
We consider the resummation of soft-gluon effects in heavy quark to heavy quark decays, namely the processes Q1 -> Q2 + (non QCD partons), where Q1 and Q2 are two different heavy quarks. We construct a new factorization scheme for threshold…
Fragmentation functions for hadrons composed of heavy quarks are calculated directly from the definitions given by Collins and Soper and are compared with those calculated in another way. A new fragmentaion function for a P-wave meson is…
A new method is presented for obtaining indefinite integrals of common special functions. The approach is based on a Lagrangian formulation of the general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation of second order. A general integral…
Many well-known positive linear operators (like Bernstein, Baskakov, Sz\'{a}sz-Mirakjan) are constructed by using specific fundamental functions. The sums of the squared fundamental functions have been objects of study in some recent…
We derive simple formulas connecting the generalized Wigner functions for $s$-ordering with the density matrix, and vice-versa. These formulas proved very useful for quantum mechanical applications, as, for example, for connecting master…
A fully relativistic quark model is constructed and applied to the study of wave-functions as well as the spectrum of heavy-light mesons. The free parameters of the model are a constituent quark mass and (on the lattice) an adjustable…
This paper presents an algorithm for applying the high-order recombination method, originally introduced by Lyons and Litterer in ``High-order recombination and an application to cubature on Wiener space'' (Ann. Appl. Probab.…
The fractional polylogarithms, depending on a complex parameter $\a$, are defined by a series which is analytic inside the unit disk. After an elementary conversion of the series into an integral presentation, we show that the fractional…
We consider an $\ell_1$-regularized inverse problem where both the forward and regularization operators have a Kronecker product structure. By leveraging this structure, a joint decomposition can be obtained using generalized singular value…
A correspondence between arbitrary Fourier series and certain analytic functions on the unit disk of the complex plane is established. The expression of the Fourier coefficients is derived from the structure of complex analysis. The…
