In this note we provide a simple formula of general term of recurrent sequence.
Normal forms allow the use of a restricted class of coordinate transformations (typically homogeneous polynomials) to put the bifurcations found in nonlinear dynamical systems into a few standard forms. We investigate here the consequences…
The intention of these notes is to give a mathematical account of how I believe students could be taught to think about functional programming languages and to explain how such languages work.
These notes cover background material on trees which are used in the paper `On uniqueness of the signature of a path of variation and the reduced path group'.
This article is preface to the SIGMA special issue "Tensor Models, Formalism and Applications", http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/Tensor_Models.html. The issue is a collection of eight excellent, up to date reviews on random tensor models.…
These lecture notes discuss classical models of liquid crystals, and the different ways in which defects are described according to the different models.
We present an overview of selected topics in random permutations and random partitions highlighting analogies with random matrix theory.
A didactical survey of the foundations of Algorithmic Information Theory. These notes are short on motivation, history and background but introduce some of the main techniques and concepts of the field. The "manuscript" has been evolving…
These notes were compiled as lecture notes for a course developed and taught at the University of the Southern California. They should be accessible to a typical engineering graduate student with a strong background in Applied Mathematics.…
The aim of these notes is to explain main ideas of the theory of complements. Basically we will follow Shokurov's work alg-geom/9711024.
This document consists of lecture notes for a graduate course, which focuses on the relations between Information Theory and Statistical Physics. The course is aimed at EE graduate students in the area of Communications and Information…
These notes introduce some of the basic mathematical and physical tools neccessary for theoretical investigations into the thermodynamics properties of light in cavities. The notes were created while preparing for a project in this area…
Numerical homotopy continuation methods for three classes of polynomial systems are presented. For a generic instance of the class, every path leads to a solution and the homotopy is optimal. The counting of the roots mirrors the resolution…
In these informal lecture notes we outline different approaches used in doing calculations involving the Dirac equation in curved spacetime. We have tried to clarify the subject by carefully pointing out the various conventions used and by…
In this work in progress, we discuss independence and interpolation and related topics for classical, modal, and non-monotonic logics.
In this note we briefly survey and propose some open problems related to isoparametric theory.
These are the lecture notes for a short course on tensor categories. The coverage in these notes is relatively non-technical, focussing on the essential ideas. They are meant to be accessible for beginners, but it is hoped that also some of…
This talk is an overview of selected topics related to renormalization group flows and the phases of gauge theories.
We discuss some special classes of canonical transformations of the extended phase space, which relate integrable systems with a common Lagrangian submanifold. Various parametric forms of trajectories are associated with different integrals…
This note presents a uniform treatment of normality and three of its variants---topological, weak and seminormality---for Noetherian schemes. The key is to define these notions for pairs $(Z, X)$ consisting of a (not necessarily reduced)…
