This article is a multiauthored portrait of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra that consists of testimonials written by several friends, colleagues, and students of his. It provides unique insights into his personality, working style and habits, and his…

In this paper we study some properties of random walks perturbed at extrema, which are generalizations of the walks considered e.g., in Davis (1999). This process can also be viewed as a version of {\em excited random walk}, studied…

In this note a far extension of the Banach fixed point theorem is proved.

This article is the first in an occasional series for the Australian Mathematical Society Gazette on diverse aspects and topics of Indigenous mathematical knowledge. This is an important, but neglected, part of the mathematical heritage of…

This contribution to the book in honour of J.S. Bell will probably differ from the remaining ones, in particular since only a part of it will be devoted to specific technical arguments. In fact I have considered appropriate to share with…

This is a write-up of introductory remarks that I made at the UIC conference in honor of Lawrence Ein's 60th birthday. It presents an informal survey of some of Ein's work, interspersed with stories and reminiscences.

In this work we construct a ``Tsirelson like Banach space'' which is arbitrarily distortable.

Folklore, a solid branch of folk literature, is the hallmark of any nation or any society. Such as oral tradition; as proverbs or jokes, it also includes material culture as well as traditional folk beliefs, and various customs. Bengali…

In the 80th anniversary book for Alex M\"uller I wrote a story of our scientific collaboration, Shared Fascinations. This time I will be more personal, about the human side of our collaboration and encounters, while also referring to…

I introduce Banach spaces on which it is possible to precisely characterize the spectrum of the transfer operator associated to a piecewise expanding map with H\"older weight.

Consider n unit intervals, say [1,2], [3,4], ..., [2n-1,2n]. Identify their endpoints in pairs at random, with all (2n-1)!! = (2n-1) (2n-3) ... 3 1 pairings being equally likely. The result is a collection of cycles of various lengths, and…

We study properties of certain circles associated with a triangle. Each circle is inside the triangle, tangent to two sides of the triangle, and externally tangent to the arc of a circle erected internally on the third side.

We present the statistical approach to the combining of signal significances.

Humans have long been fascinated by how memories are formed, how they can be damaged or lost, or still seem vibrant after many years. Thus the search for the locus and organization of memory has had a long history, in which the notion that…

In this article one builds a class of recursive sets, one establishes properties of these sets, and one proposes applications.

A glottochronologic retrognostic of language system is proposed

We discuss some aspects of the theory of subelliptic estimates.

In this short \'etude, we observe that the full structure of a recollement on a stable infinity-category can be reconstructed from minimal data: that of a reflective and coreflective full subcategory. The situation has more symmetry than…

We continue to investigate club guessing (see [Sh:g, Ch III] and [Sh:e, Ch VI]), continuing Dzamonja and Shelah [DjSh:691]
