The effect of nearest-neighbor coupling on the thermodynamic and dynamical properties of the ferromagnetic Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF) is studied. For a range of antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor coupling, a canonical first order…
We consider spin systems on $\Z$ (i.e.\ interacting particle systems on $\Z$ in which each coordinate only has two possible values and only one coordinate changes in each transition) whose rates are determined by another process, called a…
All interesting and fascinating collective properties of a complex system arise from the intricate way in which its components interact. Various systems in physics, biology, social sciences and engineering have been successfully modelled as…
An approximate equation for the effective conductivity sigma_eff of systems with a finite maximal scale of inhomogeneities is deduced. An exact solution of this equation is found and its physical meaning is discussed. A two-phase randomly…
Dynamic complexity is concerned with updating the output of a problem when the input is slightly changed. We study the dynamic complexity of model checking a fixed monadic second-order formula over evolving subgraphs of a fixed maximal…
Modular graph forms (MGFs) are a class of non-holomorphic modular forms which naturally appear in the low-energy expansion of closed-string genus-one amplitudes and have generated considerable interest from pure mathematicians. MGFs satisfy…
For meromorphic maps of complex manifolds, ergodic theory and pluripotential theory are closely related. In nice enough situations, dynamically defined Green's functions give rise to invariant currents which intersect to yield measures of…
We introduce a taxonomy of interaction types and show that graphs are focal hypergraphs: every graph is canonically a focal hypergraph via its closed neighbourhood structure, and every graph dynamical model is a special case of the general…
Virtually all questions that one can ask about the behavioral and structural complexity of a stochastic process reduce to a linear algebraic framing of a time evolution governed by an appropriate hidden-Markov process generator. Each type…
We consider minimal maps $f:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds $(M,\mathrm{g}_M)$ and $(N,\mathrm{g}_N)$, where $M$ is compact and where the sectional curvatures satisfy $\sec_N\le \sigma\le \sec_M$ for some $\sigma>0$. Under certain…
The size of the smallest $k$-regular graph of girth at least $g$ is denoted by the well-studied function $n(k,g)$. We introduce an analogous function $n(H,g)$, defined as the smallest size graph of girth at least $g$ that is a lift (or…
Lattice models for the second-order strain-gradient models of elasticity theory are discussed. To combine the advantageous properties of two classes of second-gradient models, we suggest a new lattice model that can be considered as a…
Here, we study radial solutions for first- and second-order stationary Mean-Field Games (MFG) with congestion on $\mathbb{R}^d$. MFGs with congestion model problems where the agents' motion is hampered in high-density regions. The radial…
The analytical solution to the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of mean-field spin glasses has profoundly shaped our understanding of glassy dynamics, which take place in many diverse physical systems. In particular, the idea that during the…
We study the Metropolis dynamics of the simplest mean-field spin glass model, the Random Energy Model. We show that this dynamics exhibits aging by showing that the properly rescaled time change process between the Metropolis dynamics and a…
We identify a class of continuous compactly supported functions for which the known part of the Gabor frame set can be extended. At least for functions with support on an interval of length two, the curve determining the set touches the…
A mean field spin system consisting two interacting groups each with homogeneous interaction coefficients is introduced and studied. Existence of the thermodynamic limit is shown by an asymptotic sub-addittivity method and factorization of…

We describe an efficient method for the approximation of functions using radial basis functions (RBFs), and extend this to a solver for boundary value problems on irregular domains. The method is based on RBFs with centers on a regular grid…
In this paper, we study a question of Hong from 1993 related to the minimum spectral radii of the adjacency matrices of connected graphs of given order and size. Hong asked if it is true that among all connected graphs of given number of…
