We present an elementary and conceptual proof that the complex exponential map is "chaotic" when considered as a dynamical system on the complex plane. (This result was conjectured by Fatou in 1926 and first proved by Misiurewicz 55 years…
Irrational numbers of bounded type have several equivalent characterizations. They have bounded partial quotients in terms of arithmetic characterization and in the dynamics of the circle rotation, the rescaled recurrence time to $r$-ball…
The modular decomposition is a technique that applies but is not restricted to graphs. The notion of module naturally appears in the proofs of many graph theoretical theorems. Computing the modular decomposition tree is an important…
We consider the problem of finding the matching map between two sets of $d$ dimensional vectors from noisy observations, where the second set contains outliers. The matching map is then an injection, which can be consistently estimated only…
This review is the updated and enlarged version of a talk delivered by J. S. on the occasion of the 1982 meeting of Nobel laureates at Lindau, and of talks given by B.-G. E. at several West German universities and Max Planck institutes in…
We investigate the applications of ovals in projective planes to distributed storage, with a focus on the Service Rate Region problem. Leveraging the incidence relations between lines and ovals, we describe a class of non-systematic MDS…
Spatial statistics is an area of study devoted to the statistical analysis of data that have a spatial label associated with them. Geographers often refer to the "location information" associated with the "attribute information," whose…
We shall explain how the idea of microlocal analysis of the seventies has been reformulated in the framework of sheaf theory in the eighties and then applied to various branches of mathematics, such as linear partial differential equations…
Using experimental techniques, we study properties of the "circumcenter map", which, upon $n$ iterations sends an $n$-gon to a scaled and rotated copy of itself. We also explore the topology of area-expanding and area-contracting regions…
In this note, we offer a palatable introduction to the field of arithmetic dynamics. That is, we study the patterns that arise when iterating a polynomial map. This note is accessible to those who have taken an introductory proof based…
The multidimensional assignment problem (MAP) (abbreviated s-AP in the case of s dimensions) is an extension of the well-known assignment problem. The most studied case of MAP is 3-AP, though the problems with larger values of s have also a…
We survey some major contributions to Riemann's moduli space and Teichm{\"u}ller space. Our report has a historical character, but the stress is on the chain of mathematical ideas. We start with the introduction of Riemann surfaces, and we…
This is a draft of an article to appear in the October 2022 issue of the Notices of the AMS. In this survey article we explore a fascinating area called descriptive combinatorics and its recently discovered connections to distributed…
This document is a companion for the Maple program \textbf{Summing a polynomial function over integral points of a polygon}. It contains two parts. First, we see what this programs does. In the second part, we briefly recall the…
Animal navigation research posits that organisms build and maintain internal spatial representations, or maps, of their environment. We ask if machines -- specifically, artificial intelligence (AI) navigation agents -- also build implicit…
This is a collection of 1031 formulas that were generated by a computer program in 1992. The set is the database of integer sequences as of 1992 which contained 4568 sequences. These sequences were later published in the Encyclopedia of…
For the four-color theorem that has been developed over one and half centuries, all people believe it right but without complete proof convincing all1-3. Former proofs are to find the basic four-colorable patterns on a planar graph to…
The dual of an infinitely divisible distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d$ without Gaussian part defined in Sato, ALEA {\bf 3} (2007), 67--110, is renamed to the inversion. Properties and characterization of the inversion are given. A stochastic…
In the paper [1] considered a new class of quaternionic mappings, so-called $G$-monogenic mappings. In this paper we prove analogues of classical integral theorems of the holomorphic function theory: the Cauchy integral theorems for surface…
Lars Onsager and Bruria Kaufman calculated the partition function of the Ising model exactly in 1944 and 1949. Since then there have been many developments in the exact solution of similar, but usually more complicated, models. Here I shall…
