We report a detailed study of the stationary points (zero-force points) of the potential energy surface (PES) of a model structural glassformer. We compare stationary points found with two different algorithms (eigenvector following and…

We consider systems of exponentials with frequencies belonging to simple quasicrystals in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We ask if there exist domains $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which admit such a system as a Riesz basis for the space $L^2(S)$. We prove that…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

This article determines the asymptotics of the expected Riesz s-energy of the zero set of a Gaussian random systems of polynomials of degree N as the degree N tends to infinity in all dimensions and codimensions. The asymptotics are proved…

We present a variety of geometrical and combinatorial tools that are used in the study of geometric structures on surfaces: volume, contact, symplectic, complex and almost complex structures. We start with a series of local rigidity results…

We study the dynamics in C^2 of superattracting fixed point germs and of polynomial maps near infinity. In both cases we show that the asymptotic attraction rate is a quadratic integer, and construct a plurisubharmonic function with the…

Begin with a set of four points in the real plane in general position. Add to this collection the intersection of all lines through pairs of these points. Iterate. Ismailescu and Radoi\v{c}i\'{c} (2003) showed that the limiting set is dense…

In this paper we find asymptotic equalities for the discrete logarithmic energy of sequences of well separated spherical $t$-designs on the unit sphere ${\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}}$, $d\geq2$. Also we establish exact order…

Finding the mean of the total number of stationary points for N-dimensional random Gaussian landscapes can be reduced to averaging the absolute value of characteristic polynomial of the corresponding Hessian. First such a reduction is…

We consider two related problems: the first is the minimization of the "Coulomb renormalized energy" of Sandier-Serfaty, which corresponds to the total Coulomb interaction of point charges in a uniform neutralizing background (or rather…

Geodesic metric spaces support a variety of averaging constructions for given finite sets. Computing such averages has generated extensive interest in diverse disciplines. Here we consider the inverse problem of recognizing computationally…

We present a novel method for computing the Minkowski Functionals from isodensity surfaces extracted directly from the Delaunay tessellation of a point distribution. This is an important step forward compared to the previous cosmological…

In this work, a family of symmetric interpolation points are generated on the four-dimensional simplex (i.e. the pentatope). These points are optimized in order to minimize the Lebesgue constant. The process of generating these points…

This paper concerns the number of lattice points in the plane which are visible along certain curves to all elements in some set S of lattice points simultaneously. By proposing the concept of level of visibility, we are able to analyze…

We study computing geometric problems on uncertain points. An uncertain point is a point that does not have a fixed location, but rather is described by a probability distribution. When these probability distributions are restricted to a…

Thomson problem is a classical problem in physics to study how $n$ number of charged particles distribute themselves on the surface of a sphere of $k$ dimensions. When $k=2$, i.e. a 2-sphere (a circle), the particles appear at equally…

We derive the complete asymptotic expansion in terms of powers of $N$ for the geodesic $f$-energy of $N$ equally spaced points on a rectifiable simple closed curve $\Gamma$ in ${\mathbb R}^p$, $p\geq2$, as $N \to \infty$. For $f$ decreasing…

Let $S$ be the union of finitely many disjoint intervals on the real line. Suppose that there are two real numbers $\alpha, \beta$ such that the length of each interval belongs to $Z \alpha + Z \beta$. We use quasicrystals to construct a…

Point configurations have been widely used as model systems in condensed matter physics, materials science and biology. Statistical descriptors such as the $n$-body distribution function $g_n$ is usually employed to characterize the point…

We derive two fixed point theorems for a class of metric spaces that includes all Banach spaces and all complete Busemann spaces. We obtain our results by the use of a 1-Lipschitz barycenter construction and an existence result for…
