We consider dimer models on graphs which are bipartite, periodic and satisfy a geometric condition called {\em isoradiality}, defined in \cite{Kenyon3}. We show that the scaling limit of the height function of any such dimer model is…

The analysis of the entanglement entropy of a subsystem of a one-dimensional quantum system is a powerful tool for unravelling its critical nature. For instance, the scaling behaviour of the entanglement entropy determines the central…

In this work we study the variational problem associated to dimer models, a class of models from integrable probability and statistical mechanics in dimension two which have been the focus of intense research efforts over the last decades.…

We introduce a class of graphs called compound graphs, generalizing rectangles, which are constructed out of copies of a planar bipartite base graph. The main result is that the number of perfect matchings of every compound graph is…

We propose and analyse a novel surface finite element method that preserves the invariant regions of systems of semilinear parabolic equations on closed compact surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ under discretisation. We also provide a…

We introduce a general model of dimer coverings of certain plane bipartite graphs, which we call rail yard graphs (RYG). The transfer matrices used to compute the partition function are shown to be isomorphic to certain operators arising in…

We study the asymptotic behavior of random domino tilings of the Aztec diamond of size $M$ in a random environment, where the environment is a one-periodic sequence of i.i.d. random weights attached to domino positions (i.e., to the edges…

In this paper we present a variational technique that handles coarse-graining and passing to a limit in a unified manner. The technique is based on a duality structure, which is present in many gradient flows and other variational…

Many partial differential equations (PDEs) such as Navier--Stokes equations in fluid mechanics, inelastic deformation in solids, and transient parabolic and hyperbolic equations do not have an exact, primal variational structure. Recently,…

In this article, we introduce a notion of relative mean metric dimension with potential for a factor map $\pi: (X,d, T)\to (Y, S)$ between two topological dynamical systems. To link it with ergodic theory, we establish four variational…

We consider a certain tiling problem of a planar region in which there are no long horizontal or vertical strips consisting of copies of the same tile. Intuitively speaking, we would like to create a dappled pattern with two or more kinds…

I prove that a centre manifold approach to creating finite difference models will consistently model linear dynamics as the grid spacing becomes small. Using such tools of dynamical systems theory gives new assurances about the quality of…

We introduce an explicit invariant-region-preserving limiter applied to DG methods for compressible Euler equations. The invariant region considered consists of positivity of density and pressure and a maximum principle of a specific…

A \textit{domino} is a $2\times 1\times 1$ parallelepiped formed by the union of two unit cubes and a \textit{slab} is a $2\times 2\times 1$ parallelepiped formed by the union of four unit cubes. We are interested in tiling regions formed…

For a given topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ over a compact set $X$ with a metric $d$, the "variational principle" states that \begin{equation*} \sup_{\mu}h_\mu(T) = h(T) = h_d(T), \end{equation*} where $h_\mu(T)$ is the…

It is well-known that the relativized variational principle established by Bogenschutz and Kifer connects the fiber topological entropy and fiber measure-theoretic entropy. In context of random dynamical systems, metric mean dimension was…

At the free-fermion point, the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions (DWBC) can be related to the Aztec diamond, a domino tiling problem. We study the mapping on the level of complete statistics for general domains and…

A domino covering of a board is saturated if no domino is redundant. We introduce the concept of a fragment tiling and show that a minimal fragment tiling always corresponds to a maximal saturated domino covering. The size of a minimal…

The maximum entropy principle determines the values of thermodynamic variables in thermally isolated equilibrium systems. This paper extends the principle to a variational principle that applies to liquid-gas coexistence in heat conduction.…

A particular, two-dimensional, tiling model, composed by the so called Wang tiles has been studied at finite temperature by Monte Carlo numerical simulations. In absence of any thermal bath the Wang tiles give the opportunity of building a…
