It was recently proved that the elastic energy $E(\gamma)=\tfrac{1}{2}\int_\gamma\kappa^2 ds$ of a closed curve $\gamma$ with curvature $\kappa$ has a minimizer among all plane, simple, regular and closed curves of given enclosed area…
We consider certain parametrised families of piecewise expanding maps on the interval, and estimate and sometimes calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set of parameters for which the orbit of a fixed point has a certain shrinking target…
We prove that some natural "outside" property is equivalent (for a first order class) to being stable. For a model, being resplendent is a strengthening of being kappa-saturated. Restricting ourselves to the case kappa > |T| for…
On a compact group the Haar probability measure plays the role of uniform distribution. The entropy and rate distortion theory for this uniform distribution is studied. New results and simplified proofs on convergence of convolutions on…
We apply the operation of random independent thinning on the eigenvalues of $n\times n$ Haar distributed unitary random matrices. We study gap probabilities for the thinned eigenvalues, and we study the statistics of the eigenvalues of…
We study a classification of the kappa-times integrated semigroups (for kappa>0) by the (uniform) rate of convergence at the origin: $\|S(t)\|=O(t^\alpha)$, $0\leq\alpha\leq\kappa$. By an improved generation theorem we characterize this…
In this paper we will develop a very general approach which shows that critical relations of holomorphic maps on the complex plane unfold transversally in a positively oriented way. We will mainly illustrate this approach to obtain…
This paper has an expository nature. We compare the spectral properties (such as boundedness and compactness) of three families of semi-infinite matrices and point out similarities between them. The common feature of these families is that…
In this work, we consider spacelike surfaces in Minkowski space $\hbox{\bf E}%_{1}^{3}$ that satisfy a linear Weingarten condition of type $\kappa_{1}=m\kappa_{2}+n$, where $m$ and $n$ are constant and $\kappa_{1}$ and $\kappa_{2}$ denote…
A map is \emph{vertex-reversing} if it admits an arc-transitive automorphism group with dihedral vertex stabilizers. This paper classifies solvable vertex-reversing maps whose edge number and Euler characteristic are coprime. The…
We study the parameter space ${\mathcal S}_p$ for cubic polynomial maps with a marked critical point of period $p$. We will outline a fairly complete theory as to how the dynamics of the map $F$ changes as we move around the parameter space…
Given a rank-two sub-Riemannian structure $(M,\Delta)$ and a point $x_0\in M$, a singular curve is a critical point of the endpoint map $F:\gamma\mapsto\gamma(1)$ defined on the space of horizontal curves starting at $x_0$. The typical…
We characterize the compactness properties of the product of \lambda\ copies of the space \omega\ with the discrete topology, dealing in particular with the case \lambda\ singular, using regular and uniform ultrafilters, infinitary…
The star product technique translates the framework of local fields on noncommutative space-time into nonlocal fields on standard space-time. We consider the example of fields on $\kappa$- deformed Minkowski space, transforming under…
Here we show how to determine the orbital parameters of a system composed of a star and N companions (that can be planets, brown-dwarfs or other stars), using a simple Fourier analysis of the radial velocity data of the star. This method…
The KP hierarchy is hamiltonian relative to a one-parameter family of Poisson structures obtained from a generalized Adler map in the space of formal pseudodifferential symbols with noninteger powers. The resulting $\W$-algebra is a…
In the framework of the inverse problem of Dynamics we investigate the compatibility between a two-parametric family of precessing orbits and autonomous force fields. In a previous work, for a specific choice of the two parameters in the…
The dispersion characteristics of an circularly polarized electromagnetic wave of arbitrary amplitude, propagating in a highly (thermally and kinematically) relativistic plasma, are shown to approach those of a linear wave in an…
We study singularities of constant positive Gaussian curvature surfaces and determine the way they bifurcate in generic 1-parameter families of such surfaces. We construct the bifurcations explicitly using loop group methods. Constant…
Given any smooth plane curve {\alpha}(s)representing a mirror that reflects light the usual way and any radiant light source at a point in the plane, the reflected light will produce a caustic envelope. For such an envelope, we show that…
