Our idea is to imitate Smale's list of problems, in a restricted domain of mathematical aspects of Celestial Mechanics. All the problems are on the n-body problem, some with different homogeneity of the potential, addressing many aspects…

We consider several algorithmic problems concerning geodesics in finitely generated groups. We show that the three geodesic problems considered by Miasnikov et al [arXiv:0807.1032] are polynomial-time reducible to each other. We study two…

In this paper I argue against Carcassi, Calderon, and Aidala's recent claim that the Hilbert spaces are unphysical and should be replaced with the Schwartz spaces in quantum mechanics, since Hilbert spaces include states with infinite…

The purpose of this note is to use the results and methods of our previous work with Bourgain to obtain control and observability by rough functions and sets on rectangular 2-tori. We show that any Lebesgue measurable set of positive…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with a^2 in A for all a in A. In two recent papers by the authors and Neal, a theory for these spaces was developed. It was shown there that much of the theory…

We continue the work begun by Mickler-Moll investigating the properties of the polynomial eigenfunctions of the Nazarov-Sklyanin quantum Lax operator. By considering products of these eigenfunctions, we produce a novel generalization of a…

We study Cauchy problems associated to elliptic operators acting on vector-valued functions and coupled up to the first-order. We prove pointwise estimates for the spatial derivatives of the semigroup associated to these problems in the…

This paper is motivated by two problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation, namely, Davenport's problem regarding badly approximable points on submanifolds of a Euclidean space and Schmidt's problem regarding the intersections of…

Several open problems in algebraic logic are solved.

This paper is extended and broadly generalized version of earlier published rapid communication, Phys.Rev.E, Vol.58, R 5213 (1998). It also elaborates on some problems which were left unsolved or just mentioned in Physics Reports Vol.298,…

This is a set of 288 questions written for a Moore-style course in Mathematical Logic. I have used these (or some variation) four times in a beginning graduate course. Topics covered are: propositional logic axioms of ZFC wellorderings and…

In 1982, Ball, Marsden, and Slemrod proved an obstruction to the controllability of linear dynamics with a bounded bilinear control term. This note presents an example of nonlinear dynamics with respect to the state for which this…

This paper provides a new formulation of second order stochastic target problems introduced in [SIAM J. Control Optim. 48 (2009) 2344-2365] by modifying the reference probability so as to allow for different scales. This new ingredient…

This document presents a series of open questions arising in matrix computations, i.e., the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. It is a result of working groups at the workshop Linear Systems and Eigenvalue Problems, which was…

This Ph.D. thesis contains original contributions to several areas within the disciplines of disordered systems, numerical linear algebra, and scientific computing: (1) Theoretical and numerical study of the errors caused by using certain…

This monograph is centred at the intersection of three mathematical topics, that are theoretical in nature, yet with motivations and relevance deep rooted in applications: the linear inverse problems on abstract, in general…

Partial Isometries are important constructs that help give nontrivial solutions once a simple solution is known. We generalize this notion to Extended Partial Isometries and include operators which have right inverses but no left inverses…

We define a class of algebras, the semilattices of Mal'cev blocks (for short, SMB algebras). In a nutshell, these algebras are semilattices in which each element gets blown up into a Mal'cev algebra. We publish for the first time our old…

I present here some new results which make explicit the role of the division algebras R,C,H,O in the construction and classification of, respectively, N=1,2,4,8 global supersymmetric quantum mechanical and classical dynamical systems. In…
