We present a multi-level graph partitioning algorithm based on the extreme idea to contract only a single edge on each level of the hierarchy. This obviates the need for a matching algorithm and promises very good partitioning quality since there are very few changes between two levels. Using an efficient data structure and new flexible ways to break local s

We present a fully microscopics-based calculation of the Casimir effect in a nonequilibrium system, namely an energy flux driven quantum XX chain. The force between the walls (transverse-field impurities) is calculated in a nonequilibrium steady state which is prepared by letting the system evolve from an initial state with the two halves of the chain prepar

The importance of security in database research has greatly increased over the years as most of critical functionality of the business and military enterprises became digitized. Database is an integral part of any information system and they often hold sensitive data. The security of the data depends on physical security, OS security and DBMS security. Datab

A class of nonlinear viscous transport equations describing aggregation phenomena in biology is considered. Optimal conditions on an interaction potential are obtained which lead either to the existence or to the nonexistence of global-in-time solutions.

Binary message-passing decoders for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are studied by using extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts. The channel delivers hard or soft decisions and the variable node decoder performs all computations in the L-value domain. A hard decision channel results in the well-know Gallager B algorithm, and increasing the output

We prove old and new $L^p$ bounds for the quartile operator, a Walsh model of the bilinear Hilbert transform, uniformly in the parameter that models degeneration of the bilinear Hilbert transform. We obtain the full range of exponents that can be expected from known bounds in the degenerate and non-degenerate cases. For the new estimates with exponents p clo

Beginning with a geometric motivation for dark matter going back to the axioms of general relativity, we show how scalar field dark matter, which naturally forms dark matter density waves due to its wave nature, may cause the observed barred spiral pattern density waves in many disk galaxies and triaxial shapes with plausible brightness profiles in many elli

Systems coupling fluids and polymers are of great interest in many branches of sciences. One of the models to describe them is the FENE (Finite Extensible Nonlinear Elastic) dumbbell model. We prove global existence of weak solutions to the FENE dumbbell model of polymeric flows for a very general class of potentials. The main problem is the passage to the l

The famous de Boor conjecture states that the condition of the polynomial B-spline collocation matrix at the knot averages is bounded independently of the knot sequence, i.e., depends only on the spline degree. For highly nonuniform knot meshes, like geometric meshes, the conjecture is known to be false. As an effort towards finding an answer for uniform mes

In this paper we study the generalized Erdos-Falconer distance problems in the finite field setting. The generalized distances are defined in terms of polynomials, and various formulas for sizes of distance sets are obtained. In particular, we develop a simple formula for estimating the cardinality of distance sets determined by diagonal polynomials. As a re

We study conjectures on the dimension of linear systems on the blow-up of P^2 and P^3 at points in very general position. We provide algorithms and Maple codes based on these conjectures.

In percolating networks of mixed metallic and semiconducting CNTs, there is a tradeoff between high on-current (dense networks) and high on/off ratio (sparse networks in which the metallic CNT fraction is not percolating). Experiments on devices in a transistor configuration and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to determine the scaling behavior of devi

We present the time evolution of the electronic two-level model in the rotating wave approximation (RWA). We calculate the Aharonov-Anandan phase of the vector states with cyclic evolution either within the period of an external monochromatic electric field or the period corresponding to Rabi's frequency. The Aharonov-Anandan phase is shown to be depende

The superfluid transition in liquid 4He filled in Gelsil glass observed in recent experiments is discussed in the framework of quantum critical phenomena. We show that quantum fluctuations of phase are indeed important at the experimentally studied temperature range owing to the small pore size of Gelsil, in contrast to 4He filled in previously studied porou

Recent claims in the literature have suggested that the {\it WMAP} quadrupole is not primordial in origin, and arises from an aliasing of the much larger dipole field because of incorrect satellite pointing. We attempt to reproduce this result and delineate the key physics leading to the effect. We find that, even if real, the induced quadrupole would be sma

Hartmanis used Kolmogorov complexity to provide an alternate proof of the classical result of Baker, Gill, and Solovay that there is an oracle relative to which P is not NP. We refine the technique to strengthen the result, constructing an oracle relative to which a conjecture of Lipton is false.

We study a system composed from two interdependent networks A and B, where a fraction of the nodes in network A depends on the nodes of network B and a fraction of the nodes in network B depends on the nodes of network A. Due to the coupling between the networks when nodes in one network fail they cause dependent nodes in the other network to also fail. This

In this paper we study the Burgers equation with a nonlocal term of the form $Hu$ where $H$ is the Hilbert transform. This system has been considered as a quadratic approximation for the dynamics of a free boundary of a vortex patch. We prove blow up in finite time for a large class of initial data with finite energy. Considering a more general nonlocal term

Through the analysis, we obtain a rule concerning possible distribution of O-plane types. The result is applied to classify the topology of D-branes in terms of Fredholm operators and K-theory, deriving a proposal made earlier an

We first give a combinatorial interpretation of coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials, which allows us to connect them with compositions of natural numbers. Then we describe a relationship between the number of compositions of a natural number in which a certain number of parts are p-1, and other parts are not less than p with compositions in which all parts

A message-passing algorithm for counting short cycles in a graph is presented. For bipartite graphs, which are of particular interest in coding, the algorithm is capable of counting cycles of length g, g +2,..., 2g - 2, where g is the girth of the graph. For a general (non-bipartite) graph, cycles of length g; g + 1, ..., 2g - 1 can be counted. The algorithm

A permutation $σ\in\mathfrak{S}_n$ is simsun if for all $k$, the subword of $σ$ restricted to $\{1,...,k\}$ does not have three consecutive decreasing elements. The permutation $σ$ is double simsun if both $σ$ and $σ^{-1}$ are simsun. In this paper we present a new bijection between simsun permutations and increasing 1-2 trees, and show a number of interesti

Motivated by recent progresses in the holographic descriptions of the Kerr and Reissner-Nordstrøm (RN) black holes, we explore the hidden conformal symmetry of nonextremal uplifted 5D RN black hole by studying the near horizon wave equation of a massless scalar field propagating in this background. Similar to the Kerr black hole case, this hidden symmetry is

We examine the thermodynamical properties of a number of asymptotically flat, stationary (but not static) solutions having conical singularities, with both connected and non-connected event horizons, using the thermodynamical description recently proposed in arXiv:0912.3386 [gr-qc]. The examples considered are the double-Kerr solution, the black ring rotatin

An analytic parametrization of the hyperonic matter equation of state based on microscopic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations has been constructed using the realistic Argonne V18 nucleon-nucleon potential plus a three-body force of Urbana type, and three models of the hyperon-nucleon interaction: the Nijmegen soft-core models NSC89 and NSC97e, and the most

By inelastic neutron scattering, we have analyzed the magnetic correlations in the paramagnetic metallic region of the series Ca(2-x)Sr(x)RuO(4), 0.2<=x<=0.62. We find different contributions that correspond to 2D ferromagnetic fluctuations and to fluctuations at incommensurate wave vectors (0.11,0,0), (0.26,0,0) and (0.3,0.3,0). These components constitute

By application of the coinduction method as well as Magri method to the ideal of real Hilbert-Schmidt operators we construct the hierarchies of integrable Hamiltonian systems on the Banach Lie-Poisson spaces which consist of these type of operators. We also discuss their algebraic and analytic properties as well as solve them in dimensions N=2,3,4.

Periodicity in population dynamics is a fundamental issue. In addition to current species-specific analyses, allometry facilitates understanding of limit cycles amongst different species. So far, body-size regressions have been derived for the oscillation period of the population densities of warm-blooded species, in particular herbivores. Here, we extend th

We show that if a matrix $Φ$ satisfies the RIP of order $[CK^{1.2}]$ with isometry constant $\dt = c K^{-0.2}$ and has coherence less than $1/(20 K^{0.8})$, then Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) will recover $K$-sparse signal $x$ from $y=Φx$ in at most $[CK^{1.2}]$ iterations. This result implies that $K$-sparse signal can be recovered via OMP by $M=O(K^{1.

We give two new criteria for a basic algebra to be biserial. The first one states that an algebra is biserial iff all subalgebras of the form eAe where e is supported by at most 4 vertices are biserial. The second one gives some condition on modules that must not exist for a biserial algebra. These modules have properties similar to the module with dimension

We show how to determine the asymptotics of a certain Selberg-type integral by means of tools available in the theory of (generalised) hypergeometric series. This provides an alternative derivation of a result of Carré, Deneufchâtel, Luque and Vivo [arXiv:1003.5996].

In this paper we outline initial concepts for an immune inspired algorithm to evaluate price time series data. The proposed solution evolves a short term pool of trackers dynamically through a process of proliferation and mutation, with each member attempting to map to trends in price movements. Successful trackers feed into a long term memory pool that can

Static observers in curved spacetimes may interpret their proper acceleration as the opposite of a local gravitational field (in the Newtonian sense). Based on this interpretation and motivated by the equivalence principle, we are led to investigate congruences of timelike curves in Minkowski spacetime whose acceleration field coincides with the acceleration

We introduce the heat equation relative to a positive dd-bar-closed current and apply it to the invariant currents associated with Riemann surface laminations possibly with singularities. The main examples are holomorphic foliations by Riemann surfaces in projective spaces. We prove two kinds of ergodic theorems for such currents: one associated to the heat

We investigated transport properties of organic heterointerfaces formed by single-crystals of two organic donor-acceptor molecules, tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene (TMTSF) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). Whereas the individual crystals have un-measurably high resistance, the interface exhibits a resistivity of few tens of MegaOhm with a temperat

In order to obtain a reasonably accurate and easily implemented approach to many-electron calculations, we will develop a new Density Functional Theory (DFT). Specifically, we derive an approximation to electron density, the first term of which is the Thomas-Fermi density, while the remaining terms substantially correct the density near the nucleus.

Variations on the notions of Reedy model structures and projective model structures on categories of diagrams in a model category are introduced. These allow one to choose only a subset of the entries when defining weak equivalences, or to use different model categories at different entries of the diagrams. As a result, a bisimplicial model category that can

The dead cone effect has been expected to reduce the magnitude of energy loss and jet quenching for heavy flavors produced with large pT in heavy ion collisions. On the contrary, data from RHIC for open charm production demonstrate a flavor independent nuclear suppression. We show that vacuum radiation of a highly virtual quark produced at high pT with its c

Current-voltage characteristics of planar junctions formed by an epitaxial c-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7-x thin film micro-bridge and Ag counter-electrode were measured in the temperature range from 4.2 K to 300 K.

In recent years a large number of Hot Jupiters orbiting in a very close orbit around the parent stars have been explored with the transit and doppler effect methods.

A new solvable hyperbolic single wave potential is found by expanding the regular solution of the 1D Schrödinger equation in terms of square integrable basis. The main characteristic of the basis is in supporting an infinite tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. However, the eigen-energies associated with this potential cannot be obtained u

This is the second article in a series where we succeed in enlarging the class of solvable problems in one and three dimensions. We do that by working in a complete square integrable basis that carries a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. Consequently, the wave equation becomes equivalent to a three-term recursion relation for the expans

Let $F(X,Y)=Y^d+a_1(X)Y^{d-1}+...+a_d(X)$ be a polynomial in $n+1$ variables $(X,Y)=(X_1,...,X_n,Y)$ with coefficients in an algebraically closed field K. Assuming that the discriminant $D(X)=\disc_Y F(X,Y)$ is nonzero we investigate the order $\ord_P D$ for $P\in K^n$. As application we get a discriminant criterion for the hypersurface F=0 to be nonsingular

A sublimating vicinal crystal surface can undergo a step bunching instability when the attachment-detachment kinetics is asymmetric, in the sense of a normal Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect. Here we investigate this instability in a model that takes into account the subtle interplay between sublimation and step-step interactions, which breaks the volume-conserving

We consider the Dirac equation in 3+1 dimensions with spherical symmetry and coupling to 1/r singular vector potential. An approximate analytic solution for all angular momenta is obtained.

We report on sub-bandgap optoelectronic phenomena of hydrogen-terminated diamond patterned with a submicron oxidized line. The line acts as an energy barrier for the two-dimensional hole gas located below the hydrogenated diamond surface. A photoconductive gain of the hole conductivity across the barrier is measured for sub-bandgap illumination. The findings

We formulate a theory of nonrelativistic scattering in one dimension based on the J-matrix method. The scattering potential is assumed to have a finite range such that it is well represented by its matrix elements in a finite subset of a basis that supports a tridiagonal matrix representation for the reference wave operator. Contrary to our expectation, the

We found an analytical solution for the vortex structure in a rapidly rotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in the lowest Landau level approximation. This solution is exact in the limit of a large number of vortices and is obtained for the case of anisotropic harmonic potential.

The K-shell emission line of neutral irons from the Galactic center (GC) region is one of the key for the structure and activity of the GC.

We prove, for a wide class of semilinear elliptic differential and pseudodifferential equations in $\R^d$, that the solutions which are sufficiently regular and have a certain decay at infinity extend to holomorphic functions in sectors of $\mathbb{C}^d$, improving earlier results where the extension was shown for a strip. Moreover, exponential decay for suc

Recent observations of sunspot light-bridges have shed new light on the fact that they are often associated with significant chromospheric activity.

As shown by Tropp, 2008, for the concatenation of two orthonormal bases (ONBs), breaking the square-root bottleneck in compressed sensing does not require randomization over all the positions of the nonzero entries of the sparse coefficient vector. Rather the positions corresponding to one of the two ONBs can be chosen arbitrarily. The two-ONB structure is,

Cosmological N-body simulations indicate that the dark matter haloes of galaxies should be generally triaxial. Yet, the presence of a baryonic disc is believed to alter the shape of the haloes.

Factorized spectral surface scenario has been considered as one of solutions to the dimension-4 proton decay problem in supersymmetric compactifications of F-theory. It has been formulated in language of gauge theory on 7+1 dimensions, but the gauge theories descriptions can capture physics of geometry of F-theory compactification only approximately at best.

We report amplification of electromagnetic waves by a single artificial atom in open 1D space. Our three-level artificial atom -- a superconducting quantum circuit -- coupled to a transmission line presents an analog of a natural atom in open space. The system is the most fundamental quantum amplifier whose gain is limited by a spontaneous emission mechanism

We study azimuthal gliding of the easy axis that occurs in nematic liquid crystals brought in contact with the photoaligned azo-dye film under the action of reorienting UV light combined with an in-plane electric field. For irradiation with the linearly polarized light, dynamics of easy axis reorientation is found to be faster as compared to the case of non-

Single-crystalline CeRh3Si2 was investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, electrical resistivity, and specific heat measurements carried out in wide temperature and magnetic field ranges. Moreover, the electronic structure of the compound was studied at room temperature by cerium core-level x-ray photoemission spectr

We present a new approach to fluctuation identities for reflected Lévy processes with one-sided jumps. This approach is based on a number of easy to understand observations and does not involve excursion theory or Itô calculus. It also leads to more general results.

We consider the dynamics of moving curves in three-dimensional Minkowski space $R_1^{3}$ and deduce the evolution equations for the curvature and torsion of the curve. Next by mapping a continuous SO(2,1) Heisenberg spin chain on the space curve in $R_1^{3}$, we show that the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation(NLSE) can be identified with the spin cha

It is proved, that if an almost Hermitian manifold satisfies the axiom of coholomorphic spheres, it is conformal flat.

During the evolution of rotating first stars, which initially consisted of only hydrogen and helium, CNO elements may emerge to their surface. These stars may therefore have winds that are driven only by CNO elements. We study weak wind effects (Gayley-Owocki heating and multicomponent effects) in stellar winds of first generation stars driven purely by CNO

In this paper, we study a macroscopic system of electrically interacting metallic beads organized as a sequence along an annulus. A random mechanical shaking mimics the thermal excitation. We exhibit non Fickian diffusion (Single File Diffusion) at large time. We measure the mobility of the particles, and compare it to theoretical expectations. We show that

We present a new three-dimensional general relativistic hydrodynamics code, the Whisky code. This code incorporates the expertise developed over the past years in the numerical solution of Einstein equations and of the hydrodynamics equations in a curved spacetime, and is the result of a collaboration of several European Institutes. We here discuss the abili

We report on the measurements of the superconducting order parameter in the nonmagnetic borocarbides LuNi$_2$B$_2$C and YNi$_2$B$_2$C. Andreev conductance spectra are obtained from nanoscale metallic junctions on single crystal surfaces prepared along three major crystallographic orientations: [001], [110], and [100]. The gap values extracted by the single-g
