The fluctuation pressure of a lipid-bilayer membrane is important for the stability of lamellar phases and the adhesion of membranes to surfaces. In contrast to many theoretical studies, which predict a decrease of the pressure with the…
First-order statistics of scattered light is described using the representation of probability density cloud which visualizes a two-dimensional distribution for complex amplitude. The geometric parameters of the cloud are studied in detail…
We study different ways of determining the mean distance $ < r_n >$ between a reference point and its $n$-th neighbour among random points distributed with uniform density in a $D$-dimensional Euclidean space. First we present a heuristic…
The conventional definition of a topological metric over a space specifies properties that must be obeyed by any measure of "how separated" two points in that space are. Here it is shown how to extend that definition, and in particular the…
A model of randomly distributed overlapping spheres of different radii is represented to describe a heterogeneous porous medium. Two-particle correlation function of the relative position of pores of different radii in the medium space was…
The fluctuations of two-dimensional extended objects membranes is a rich and exciting field with many solid results and a wide range of open issues. We review the distinct universality classes of membranes, determined by the local order,…
The biological membrane, which compartmentalizes the cell and its organelles, exhibit wide variety of macroscopic shapes of varying morphology and topology. A systematic understanding of the relation of membrane shapes to composition,…
When we represent a network of sensors in Euclidean space by a graph, there are two distances between any two nodes that we may consider. One of them is the Euclidean distance. The other is the distance between the two nodes in the graph,…
The Hellinger distance between quantum states is a significant measure in quantum information theory, known for its Riemannian and monotonic properties. It is also easier to compute than the Bures distance, another measure that shares these…
Nowadays, multiscale modelling is recognized as the most suitable way to study biological processes. Indeed, almost every phenomenon in nature exhibits a multiscale behaviour, i.e., it is the outcome of interactions that occur at different…
Understanding the space of probability measures on a metric space equipped with a Wasserstein distance is one of the fundamental questions in mathematical analysis. The Wasserstein metric has received a lot of attention in the machine…
We propose simple schemes that can perfectly identify projective measurement apparatus secretly chosen from a finite set. Entanglements are used in these schemes both to make possible the perfect identification and to improve the efficiency…
Lens spaces are a family of manifolds that have been a source of many interesting phenomena in topology and differential geometry. Their concrete construction, as quotients of odd-dimensional spheres by a free linear action of a finite…
Finite frames can be viewed as mass points distributed in $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. As such they form a subclass of a larger and rich class of probability measures that we call probabilistic frames. We derive the basic properties of…
We are interested in comparing probability distributions defined on Riemannian manifold. The traditional approach to study a distribution relies on locating its mean point and finding the dispersion about that point. On a general manifold…
Wasserstein distances are metrics on probability distributions inspired by the problem of optimal mass transportation. Roughly speaking, they measure the minimal effort required to reconfigure the probability mass of one distribution in…
The distributions of the random distances associated with hexagons, rhombuses and triangles have been derived and verified in the existing work. All of these geometric shapes are related to each other and have various applications in…
A cap in a 2-D sphere is considered, smaller than an hemisphere. Two points are randomly chosen in the cap. The probability density that the angular separation between the points have a given value is obtained. The knowledge of this…
Pleated membrane filters, which offer larger surface area to volume ratios than unpleated membrane filters, are used in a wide variety of applications. However, the performance of the pleated filter, as characterized by a flux-throughput…
Kernel density estimation is a convenient way to estimate the probability density of a distribution given the sample of data points. However, it has certain drawbacks: proper description of the density using narrow kernels needs large data…
