In a recent work it was suggested that the number of limit cycles in a piecewise-linear system could be closely related to the number of zones, that is the number of parts of the phase plane where the system is linear. In this note we…
We present the concept of nonreciprocal interferometers. These two-way devices let particles pass in both directions, but in one direction break the phase of the particles' wave functions. Such filters can be realized by using, for example,…
The possibility that a short-range interacting system exhibits nonadditivity is investigated. After the discussion on the precise definition of additivity and its consequence, we show that it is possible when the system is in a…
(Abbr.) We consider a direct representation of a periodic time-function by means of its zero-crossings. The use of the zero-crossings as the describing parameters is made possible by a singular model of a strongly nonlinear electrical…
Let $f$ be a permutation from $\mathbb{N}_0$ onto $\mathbb{N}_0$. Let $x\in\mathbb{N}_0$ and consider a (finite or infinite) sequence $s= (x,f(x),f^2(x),\cdots)$. We call $s$ a permutation sequence. Let $D$ be the set of elements of $s$. If…
We introduce the category of finite strings and study its basic properties. The category is closely related to the augmented simplex category, and it models categories of linear representations. Each lattice of non-crossing partitions…
Linear max-plus systems describe the behavior of a large variety of complex systems. It is known that these systems show a periodic behavior after an initial transient phase. Assessment of the length of this transient phase provides…
We propose a phase transition on the feasibility of efficient parallel assembly. By introducing the parallel efficiency that measures how efficiently the parallel assembly works, the parallelizable phase is defined by its positive value.…
The correct definition of the conductance of finite systems implies a connection to the system of the massive ideal leads. Influence of the latter on the properties of the system appears to be rather essential and is studied below on the…
This paper catalogues a variety of examples concerning a type of function of a $p$-adic integer variable defined by a formal series expression we have dubbed "$\mathcal{F}$-series". These series exhibit a new, previously undocumented form…
We study infinite resistor networks perturbed by line defects, in which the resistances are periodically modified along a single line. Using the Sherman-Morrison identity applied to the reciprocal-space representation of the lattice Green's…
We have previously discussed the one-dimensional multitrap system of finite range and found the somewhat unexpected result that the larger is the number of imperfect traps the higher is the transmission through them. We discuss in this work…
We show that resonance phenomena can be treated as nonequilibrium phase transitions. Resonance phenomena, similar to equilibrium phase transitions, are accompanied by some kind of symmetry breaking and can be characterized by order…
In this paper we present a finite field analogue for one of the Appell series. We shall derive its transformations, reduction formulas as well as generating functions.
A system of particles is studied in which the stochastic processes are one-particle type-change (or one-particle diffusion) and multi-particle annihilation. It is shown that, if the annihilation rate tends to zero but the initial values of…
For a critical simple exchangeable fragmentation-coagulation process in slow regime where the coagulation rate and fragmentation rate are of the same order, we show that there exist phase transitions for its boundary behavior at infinity…
Denotational models of type theory, such as set-theoretic, domain-theoretic, or category-theoretic models use (actual) infinite sets of objects in one way or another. The potential infinite, seen as an extensible finite, requires a dynamic…
A countable group is residually finite if every nontrivial element can act nontrivially on a finite set. When a group fails to be residually finite, we might want to measure how drastically it fails - it could be that only finitely many…
We investigate the critical behavior of systems exhibiting a continuous absorbing phase transition in the presence of a conserved field coupled to the order parameter. The results obtained point out the existence of a new universality class…
Recently for a class of critically intermittent random systems a phase transition was found for the finiteness of the absolutely continuous invariant measure. The systems for which this result holds are characterized by the interplay…
