A method of modelling the three-dimensional microstructure of random isotropic two-phase materials is proposed. The information required to implement the technique can be obtained from two-dimensional images of the microstructure. The…
The present work introduces an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for continuum percolation composed of randomly-oriented rectangles. By conducting extensive simulations, we report high precision percolation thresholds for a variety of…
Mechanism - collections of rigid elements coupled by perfect hinges which exhibit a zero-energy motion -- motivate the design of a variety of mechanical metamaterials. We significantly enlarge this design space by considering…
Phononic crystals and metamaterials take advantage of pre-designed geometrical structures to sculpt elastic waves, controlling their dispersion using different mechanisms. These mechanisms revolve mostly around Bragg scattering (BS), local…
The scattering parameter extraction method of metamaterial homogenization is reviewed to show that the only ambiguity is the one related to the choice of the branch of the complex logarithmic function (or the complex inverse cosine…
We generalise the well-known ``embroidery'' envelopes of chords joining points at angles $t$ and $mt$ of a single circle in several ways. Firstly we allow $m$ to be rational (possibly negative) instead of integral, finding formulas for the…
Many learning problems require predicting sets of objects when the number of objects is not known beforehand. Examples include object detection, molecular modeling, and scientific inference tasks such as astrophysical source detection.…
Laws of electrodynamics constrain scattering cross-sections of resonant objects. Nevertheless, a fundamental bound that expresses how larger that scattering cross-section can be is yet to be found. Approaches based on cascading multiple…
We consider the problem of undirected polymers (tied at the endpoints) in random environment, also known as the unoriented first passage percolation on the hypercube, in the limit of large dimensions. By means of the multiscale refinement…
Several new applications and a number of new mathematical techniques have increased the research on error-correcting codes in the Lee metric in the last decade. In this work we consider several coding problems and constructions of…
Collective coherent scattering of laser light by an ensemble of polarizable point particles creates long range interactions, whose properties can be tailored by choice of injected laser powers, frequencies and polarizations. We use a…
Shear bands are narrow zones of intense shear observed during plastic deformations of metals at high strain rates. Because they often precede rupture, their study attracted attention as a mechanism of material failure. Here, we aim to…
A pulse of light, injected into a weakly disordered dielectric medium, typically, will leave its initial location in a short time, by diffusion. However, due to some rare configurations of disorder, there is a possibility of formation of…
We consider the problem of $q$-colouring a $k$-uniform random hypergraph, where $q,k \geq 3$, and determine the rigidity threshold. For edge densities above the rigidity threshold, we show that almost all solutions have a linear number of…
Due to their unique ability to maintain an intensity distribution upon propagation, non-diffracting light fields are used extensively in various areas of science, including optical tweezers, nonlinear optics and quantum optics, in…
Within classical optics, one may add microscopic "roughness" to a macroscopically flat mirror so that parallel rays of a given angle are reflected at different outgoing angles. Taking the limit (as the roughness becomes increasingly…
We review an approach which aims at studying discrete (pseudo-)manifolds in dimension $d\geq 2$ and called random tensor models. More specifically, we insist on generalizing the two-dimensional notion of $p$-angulations to higher…
Random packings and their properties are a popular and active field of research. Numerical algorithms that can efficiently generate them are useful tools in their study. This paper focuses on random packings produced according to the random…
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)-based design strategies for metamaterials have revolutionized the creation of customizable architectures spanning nano- to macro-scale dimensions, achieving unprecedented mechanical…
Twisted hypercubes are generalizations of the Boolean hypercube, obtained by iteratively connecting two instances of a graph by a uniformly random perfect matching. Dudek et al. showed that when the two instances are independent, these…
