The scaling behaviour of the diffraction intensity near the origin is investigated for (partially) ordered systems, with an emphasis on illustrative, rigorous results. This is an established method to detect and quantify the fluctuation…
The random percolation model can be viewed as the dual of a well defined confining gauge theory; since this theory, having no Monte Carlo dynamics at all, is simple to simulate, it is possible to study the properties of the flux tube with…

This paper explores the computational complexity of diffusion-based language modeling. We prove a dichotomy based on the quality of the score-matching network in a diffusion model. In one direction, a network that exactly computes the score…
This article is devoted to Feller's diffusion equation which arises naturally in probabilities and physics (e.g. wave turbulence theory). If discretized naively, this equation may represent serious numerical difficulties since the diffusion…
Fourier transforms are ubiquitous mathematical tools in basic and applied sciences. We here report classical and quantum optical realizations of the discrete fractional Fourier transform, a generalization of the Fourier transform. In the…
A parameter, called the degree of diffraction, is defined to describe the diffractive spreading of a monochromatic light beam. The same as the degree of paraxiality that was introduced by Gawhary and Severini in Opt. Lett. 33, 1360 (2008),…
A new definition of a fractional derivative has recently been developed, making use of a fractional Dirac delta function as its integral kernel. This derivative allows for the definition of a distributional fractional derivative, and as…
Although a system is described by a well-known set of equations leading to a deterministic behavior, in the real world the value of a measurand obtained by an experiment will mostly scatter. Accordingly, an uncertainty is associated with…

The Fourier law and the diffusion equation are derived from the Schrodinger equation of a diffusive medium (consisting of a random potential). The theoretical model is backed by numerical simulation. This derivation can easily be…
The spectral gap is estimated for measure-valued diffusion processes induced by the intrinsic/extrinsic derivatives on the space of finite measures over a Riemannian manifold. This provides explicit exponential convergence rate for these…
The Fourier transform of a bounded measurable function, $f$, on the real line is shown to be the second distributional derivative of a H\"older continuous function. The Fourier transform is written as the difference of $\int_{-1}^1…
We present a simple method for calculation of diffraction effects in a beam passing an aperture. It follows the well-known approach of Miyamoto and Wolf, but is simpler and does not lead to singularities. It is thus shown that in the…
In this paper, we propose the Fourier Discrepancy Function, a new discrepancy to compare discrete probability measures. We show that this discrepancy takes into account the geometry of the underlying space. We prove that the Fourier…
