We propose a numerical method based on the master field for large-$N$ reduced matrix models. While the master field is originally an infinite-dimensional matrix, in this method it is regularized to a finite dimension, with the requirement…

Li\'{e}nard equations, $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with $f(x)$ an even continuous function are considered. In the weakly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to 0$), the number and an order zero in $\epsilon$ approximation of the amplitude…

The link between modular functions and algebraic functions was a driving force behind the 19th century study of both. Examples include the solutions by Hermite and Klein of the quintic via elliptic modular functions and the general sextic…

Seriation methods order a set of descriptions given some criterion (e.g., unimodality or minimum distance between similarity scores). Seriation is thus inherently a problem of finding the optimal solution among a set of permutations of…

The idea of using polynomial methods to improve simple smoother iterations within a multigrid method for a symmetric positive definite (SPD) system is revisited. When the single-step smoother itself corresponds to an SPD operator, there is…
