We present three explicit curious simple examples in the theory of dynamical systems. The first one is an example of two analytic diffeomorphisms $R$, $S$ of a closed two-dimensional annulus that possess the intersection property but their…
Differential equations need boundary conditions (BC's) for their solution. It is commonly acknowledged that differential equations and BC's are representative of independent physical processes, and no correlations between them is required.…
We show non-existence of non-trivial bi-infinite geodesics in the solvable last-passage percolation model with i.i.d. geometric weights. This gives the first example of a model with discrete weights where non-existence of non-trivial…
A run of all failures, a run of all successes, or complete separation in a logistic regression each tempts the analyst to declare a probability of exactly zero or one. The central message of this paper is that all three phenomena share a…
This paper deals with the discrete system being the finite-difference approximation of the Sturm-Liouville problem with frozen argument. The inverse problem theory is developed for this discrete system. We describe the two principal cases:…
In arXiv:2204.03190, we proposed a universal method to reduce one-loop integrals with both tensor structure and higher-power propagators. But the method is quite redundant as it does not utilize the results of lower rank cases when…
We study existence, uniqueness and computability of solutions for a class of discrete time recursive utilities models. By combining two streams of the recent literature on recursive preferences---one that analyzes principal eigenvalues of…
A characterization of the tree $T^*$ such that $\mathrm{BP}(T^*)=\overleftrightarrow{\mathrm{DFUDS}(T)}$, the reversal of $\mathrm{DFUDS}(T)$ is given. An immediate consequence is a rigorous characterization of the tree $\hat{T}$ such that…
We consider the genealogy tree for a critical branching process conditioned on non-extinction. We enumerate vertices in each generation of the tree so that for each two generations one can define a monotone map describing the…
Consider the linear nonhomogeneous fixed point equation R =_d sum_{i=1}^N C_i R_i + Q, where (Q,N,C_1,...,C_N) is a random vector with N in{0,1,2,3,...}U{infty}, {C_i}_{i=1}^N >= 0, P(|Q|>0) > 0, and {R_i}_{i=1}^N is a sequence of i.i.d.…
We give an intuitive method--using local, cyclic replica symmetry--to isolate exponential tree decay in truncated (connected) correlations. We give an expansion and use the symmetry to show that all terms vanish, except those displaying…
We adjust the classical random waypoint mobility model used in the study of telecommunication networks to a more realistic setting by allowing participants of the network to return to popular places and individual homes. We show that the…
Are large biological extinctions such as the Cretaceous/Tertiary KT boundary due to a meteorite, extreme volcanic activity or self-organized critical extinction cascades? Are commercial successes due to a progressive reputation cascade or…
Decision tree learning is increasingly being used for pointwise inference. Important applications include causal heterogenous treatment effects and dynamic policy decisions, as well as conditional quantile regression and design of…
This paper provides answers to questions regarding the almost sure limiting behavior of rooted, binary tree-structured rules for regression. Examples show that questions raised by Gordon and Olshen in 1984 have negative answers. For these…
We construct an example of a birational transformation of a rational threefold for which the first and second dynamical degrees coincide and are $>1$, but which does not preserve any holomorphic (singular) foliation. In particular, this…
We study a model for coupled networks introduced recently by Buldyrev et al., Nature 464, 1025 (2010), where each node has to be connected to others via two types of links to be viable. Removing a critical fraction of nodes leads to a…
Percolation is a paradigmatic model in disordered systems and has been applied to various natural phenomena. The percolation transition is known as one of the most robust continuous transitions. However, recent extensive studies have…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a gap in the proof of the main result.
We study a branching-process random iterated function system (RIFS) defined by a recursive replacement of leaves by finite subtrees at strictly smaller contraction scales. This construction yields a tree-valued, infinite-depth random…
