In this paper we present further studies of recurrent configurations of Chip-firing games on Eulerian directed graphs (simple digraphs), a class on the way from undirected graphs to general directed graphs. A computational problem that…

We study controllability and constructive synthesis for control-affine systems. We introduce trajectory-dependent Gramian maps that extend the linear time-varying Gramian and yield explicit fixed-point synthesis maps. On feasible coercivity…

Motivated by a geometric problem, we introduce a new non-convex graph partitioning objective where the optimality criterion is given by the sum of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the partition components. A relaxed formulation is identified…

At the forefront of control techniques is Model Predictive Control (MPC). While MPCs are effective, their requisite to recompute an optimal control given a new state leads to sparse response to the system and may make their implementation…

The variational determination of the two-fermion reduced density matrix is described for harmonically trapped, ultracold few-fermion systems in one dimension with equal spin populations. This is accomplished by formulating the problem as a…

In this paper we study three classes of models widely used in physics, computer science and social science: the Chip Firing Game, the Abelian Sandpile Model and the Chip Firing Game on a mutating graph. We study the set of configurations…

Distributing points on a (possibly high-dimensional) sphere with minimal energy is a long-standing problem in and outside the field of mathematics. This paper considers a novel energy function that arises naturally from statistics and…

The recent years have witnessed an emergence of the field of all-spin-based devices without any flow of charge. An ultimate goal of this scientific direction is the realization of full spectrum of spin-based networks like in modern…

For a given bundle $\xi \colon E \to M$ over a manifold, configuration-section spaces on $\xi$ parametrise finite subsets $z \subseteq M$ equipped with a section of $\xi$ defined on $M \smallsetminus z$, with prescribed "charge" in a…

Developments in dynamical systems theory provides new support for the macroscale modelling of pdes and other microscale systems such as Lattice Boltzmann, Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics simulators. By systematically resolving subgrid…

The paper is concerned with mappings between planar domains having least Dirichlet energy. The existence and uniqueness (up to a conformal change of variables in the domain) of the energy-minimal mappings is established within the class…

We prove existence and uniqueness of minimizers for a family of energy functionals that arises in Elasticity and involves polyconvex integrands over a certain subset of displacement maps. This work extends previous results by Awi and Gangbo…

Micro- and nano-scale systems driven by rapid changes in control parameters (control protocols) dissipate significant energy. In the fast-protocol limit, we find that protocols that minimize dissipation at fixed duration are universally…

For nonexpansive fixed-point problems, Halpern's method with optimal parameters, its so-called H-dual algorithm, and in fact, an infinite family of algorithms containing them, all exhibit the exactly minimax optimal convergence rates. In…

Single-molecule experiments have found near-perfect thermodynamic efficiency in the rotary motor F1-ATP synthase. To help elucidate the principles underlying nonequilibrium energetic efficiency in such stochastic machines, we investigate…

Analysis of complex networks, particularly material networks such as the carbon skeleton of hydrocarbons generated in hydrocarbon pyrolysis in carbon-rich systems, is essential for effectively describing, modeling, and predicting their…

The present paper studies existence and distributional uniqueness of subclasses of stationary hard-core particle systems arising as thinnings of stationary particle processes. These subclasses are defined by natural maximality criteria. We…

Algebraic multigrid (AMG) methods are powerful solvers with linear or near-linear computational complexity for certain classes of linear systems, Ax=b. Broadening the scope of problems that AMG can effectively solve requires the development…

There are several applications in computational biophysics which require the optimization of discrete interacting states; e.g., amino acid titration states, ligand oxidation states, or discrete rotamer angles. Such optimization can be very…

The starting point for this work is a static macroscopic model for a high-contrast layered material in single-slip finite crystal plasticity, identified in [Christowiak & Kreisbeck, Calc. Var. PDE (2017)] as a homogenization limit via…
