Let $T$ be an expanding Markov map with a countable number of inverse branches and a repeller $\Lambda$ contained within the unit interval. Given $\alpha \in \R_+$ we consider the set of points $x \in \Lambda$ for which $T^n(x)$ hits a…

We prove matching asymptotic lower and upper bounds on the variances of the intrinsic volumes and the number of $k$-faces of $d$-dimensional random beta-polytopes. Using Stein's methods, we establish central limit theorems for the intrinsic…

Dimensional reduction occurs when the critical behavior of one system can be related to that of another system in a lower dimension. We show that this occurs for directed branched polymers (DBP) by giving an exact relationship between DBP…

We study the quantitative convergence of drift-diffusion PDEs that arise as Wasserstein gradient flows of linearly convex functions over the space of probability measures on ${\mathbb R}^d$. In this setting, the objective is in general not…

The problem of a diffusing particle moving among diffusing traps is analyzed in general space dimension d. We consider the case where the traps are initially randomly distributed in space, with uniform density rho, and derive upper and…

Interface dynamics in two-dimensional systems with a maximal number of conservation laws gives an accurate theoretical model for many physical processes, from the hydrodynamics of immiscible, viscous flows (zero surface-tension limit of…

Typical acoustic refractive metasurfaces governed by generalized Snell law require several types of subwavelength subunits to provide an extra phase gradient along the surface. This design strategy, however, has several kinds of drawback.…

The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to decide whether the Hamming distance between their $n$-bit…

Using the properties of the transfer matrix of one-dimensional quantum mechanical systems, we derive a technique to exactly compute the persistent current across a hybrid normal-superconducting-mesoscopic ring pierced by a magnetic flux Phi…

Huygens' metasurfaces have demonstrated the ability to tailor electromagnetic wavefronts with passive low-profile structures. The fundamental constraint enabling passive and ideally lossless solutions is the conservation of the normal real…

We consider the linear regression problem of estimating a $p$-dimensional vector $\beta$ from $n$ observations $Y = X \beta + W$, where $\beta_j \stackrel{\text{i.i.d.}}{\sim} \pi$ for a real-valued distribution $\pi$ with zero mean and…

We develop a new technique for constructing sparse graphs that allow us to prove near-linear lower bounds on the round complexity of computing distances in the CONGEST model. Specifically, we show an $\widetilde{\Omega}(n)$ lower bound for…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, an $(\alpha, \beta)$-ruling set is a subset $S \subseteq V$ such that the distance between any two vertices in $S$ is at least $\alpha$, and the distance between any vertex in $V$ and the closest vertex in $S$ is…

We consider approximation algorithms for packing integer programs (PIPs) of the form $\max\{\langle c, x\rangle : Ax \le b, x \in \{0,1\}^n\}$ where $c$, $A$, and $b$ are nonnegative. We let $W = \min_{i,j} b_i / A_{i,j}$ denote the width…

Kernel methods such as kernel ridge regression and Gaussian process regressions with Matern type kernels have been increasingly used, in particular, to fit potential energy surfaces (PES) and density functionals, and for materials…

Wireless power transfer (WPT) has been an active topic of research, with a number of WPT schemes implemented in the near-field (coupling) and far-field (radiation) regimes. Here, we consider a beamed WPT scheme based on a dynamically…

This paper concerns with mesh restrictions that are needed to satisfy several important mathematical properties -- maximum principles, comparison principles, and the non-negative constraint -- for a general linear second-order elliptic…

We establish tight bounds for beacon-based coverage problems, and improve the bounds for beacon-based routing problems in simple rectilinear polygons. Specifically, we show that $\lfloor \frac{n}{6} \rfloor$ beacons are always sufficient…

The design of a metric between probability distributions is a longstanding problem motivated by numerous applications in Machine Learning. Focusing on continuous probability distributions on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, we introduce…

This paper investigates the \emph{Wiring Diagram Problem} (WDP), a three-dimensional layout design problem arising in industrial applications such as cable harness design and pipeline routing in constrained environments. In these settings,…
