    We present a path integral Monte Carlo method which is the full quantum analogue of the Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo method of Panagiotopoulos to study the gas-liquid coexistence line of a classical fluid. Unlike previous extensions of Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo to include quantum effects, our scheme is viable even for systems with strong quantum delocalizatio

    We prove the Livšic Theorem for Hölder continuous cocycles with values in Banach rings. We consider a transitive homeomorphism ${σ:X\to X}$ that satisfies the Anosov Closing Lemma, and a Hölder continuous map ${a:X\to B^\times}$ from a compact metric space $X$ to the set of invertible elements of some Banach ring $B$. We show that it is a coboundary with a H

    We present a theoretical expression for the acoustic interaction force between small spherical particles suspended in an ideal fluid exposed to an external acoustic wave. The acoustic interaction force is the part of the acoustic radiation force on one given particle involving the scattered waves from the other particles. The particles, either compressible l

    We propose in detail Antennas for generating Non-Diffracting Beams of Microwaves, for instance with frequencies of the order of 10 GHz, obtaining fair results even when having recourse to realistic apertures endowed with reasonable diameters. Our first proposal refers mainly to sets of suitable annular slits, having in mind various possible applications, inc

    We use a semisupervised learning algorithm based on a topological data analysis approach to assign functional categories to yeast proteins using similarity graphs. This new approach to analyzing biological networks yields results that are as good as or better than state of the art existing approaches.

    STM based magnetotransport measurements of epitaxial La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ 32 nm thick films with and without an internal LaMnO$_3$ layer (0-8 nm thick) grown on Nb doped SrTiO$_3$ are presented. The measurements reveal two types of low field magnetoresistance (LFMR) with a magnitude of $\sim 0.1-1.5\%$. One LFMR contribution is identified as a convent

    We present a comprehensive study of the thickness dependence of static and magneto-dynamic magnetic properties of La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$. Epitaxial pulsed laser deposited La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ / SrTiO$_3$(001) thin films in the range from 3 unit cells (uc) to 40 uc (1.2 - 16 nm) have been investigated through ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy (

    Recent stellar evolution computations indicate that massive stars in the range ~ 20 - 30 Msun are located in the blue supergiant (BSG) region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram at two different stages of their life: immediately after the main sequence (MS, group 1) and during a blueward evolution after the red supergiant phase (group 2). From the observation

    In their recent article (2010), Levy and Liu introduced a generalization of Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) - namely the Lp-CVT - that allows the computation of an anisotropic CVT over a sound mathematical framework. In this article a new objective function is defined, and both this function and its gradient are derived in closed-form for surfaces and

    The primal problem of multinomial likelihood maximization restricted to a convex closed subset of the probability simplex is studied. Contrary to widely held belief, a solution of this problem may assign a positive mass to an outcome with zero count. Related flaws in the simplified Lagrange and Fenchel dual problems, which arise because the recession directi

    We give two equivalent sets of invariants which classify pairs of coisotropic subspaces of a finite-dimensional symplectic vector space. We identify five elementary types of coisotropic pairs and show that any coisotropic pair decomposes in an appropriate sense as the direct sum of coisotropic pairs of elementary type.

    We propose a novel hybrid model for jet quenching, including both strong and weak coupling physics where each seems appropriate. Branching in the parton shower is assumed to be perturbative and described by DGLAP evolution, while interactions with the medium result in each parton in the shower losing energy as at strong coupling, as realized holographically.

    The simplicial rook graph ${\rm SR}(m,n)$ is the graph of which the vertices are the sequences of nonnegative integers of length $m$ summing to $n$, where two such sequences are adjacent when they differ in precisely two places. We show that ${\rm SR}(m,n)$ has integral eigenvalues, and smallest eigenvalue $s = \max (-n, -{m \choose 2})$, and that this graph

    We study a set of exclusive $B$ and $B_s$ decay modes induced by the rare $b \to s ν\bar ν$ transition in the RS$_c$ model, an extra-dimensional extension of the standard model with warped 5D metric and extended gauge group. We emphasize the role of correlations among the observables, and their importance for detecting the predicted small deviations from the

    We investigate the properties of the set of singularities of semiconcave solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the form \begin{equation*} u_t(t,x)+H(\nabla u(t,x))=0, \qquad\text{a.e. }(t,x)\in (0,+\infty)\timesΩ\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\,. \end{equation*} It is well known that the singularities of such solutions propagate locally along generalized charact

    The article concerns the problem if a~given system of differential equations is identical with the Euler--Lagrange system of an~appropriate variational integral. Elementary approach is applied. The main results involve the determination of the first--order variational integrals related to the second--order Euler--Lagrange systems.

  18. Gianluca Vinti, Luca Zampogni

    We introduce and study a family of integral operators in the Kantorovich sense for functions acting on locally compact topological groups. We obtain convergence results for the above operators with respect to the pointwise and uniform convergence and in the setting of Orlicz spaces with respect to the modular convergence. Moreover, we show how our theory app

    A new class of rings, {\em the class of weakly left localizable rings}, is introduced. A ring $R$ is called {\em weakly left localizable} if each non-nilpotent element of $R$ is invertible in some left localization $S^{-1}R$ of the ring $R$. Explicit criteria are given for a ring to be a weakly left localizable ring provided the ring has only finitely many m

    Every infinite group $G$ of regular cardinality can be partitioned $G=A_1\cup A_2$ so that $G\neq FA_1$, $G\neq FA_2$ for every subset $F\subset G$ of cardinality $|F|<|G|$. The first author asked whether the same is true for each group $G$ of singular cardinality. We show that an answer depends on the algebraic structure of $G$. In particular, this is so fo

    Let G be a group and let k be a cardinal. A subset A of G is called left (right) k-large if there exists a subset F of G such that |F| < { and G = FA (G = AF). We say that A is k-large if A is left and right k-large. It is known that every infinite group G can be partitioned into countably many \aleph_0-large subsets. On the other hand, every amenable (in pa

    The interaction-induced orbital magnetic response of a nanoscale ring is evaluated for a diffusive system which is a superconductor in the bulk. The interplay of the renormalized Coulomb and Fröhlich interactions is crucial. The magnetic susceptibility which results from the fluctuations of the uniform superconducting order parameter is diamagnetic (paramagn

    Anomalous line shapes of quarkonia are explained naturally as an interference effect of a $c\bar c$ confined closed channel with the surrounding continua, well established in other fields of physics as Fano-resonances. We discuss a quark model coupled-channel analysis describing quarkonium as a mixing of closed $Q\bar Q$ and molecular-like $D\bar D$ open cha

    We study the problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions of backward stochastic differential equations with two reflecting irregular barriers, $L^p$ data and generators satisfying weak integrability conditions. We deal with equations on general filtered probability spaces. In case the generator does not depend on the $z$ variable, we first consider the

    We present radial velocities and [Fe/H] abundances for 340 stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal from R~16,000 spectra. The targets have been obtained in the outer parts of the galaxy, a region which has been poorly studied before. Our sample shows a wide range in [Fe/H], between -0.5 and -3.0 dex, in which we detect three subgroups. Removal of stars belongin

    A physical mechanism that drives FU Orionis-type outbursts is reconsidered. We study the effect of inner part of a circumstellar disk covering a region from near the central star to the radius of approximately $5$ AU (hereafter, the inner disk). Using the fluctuated mass accretion rate onto the inner disk $\dot{M}_{\rm out}$, we consider the viscous evolutio

    The quantum delayed-choice experiment of Tang et al. [Nature Photonics 6 (2012) 600] is simulated on the level of individual events without making reference to concepts of quantum theory or without solving a wave equation. The simulation results are in excellent agreement with the quantum theoretical predictions of this experiment. The implication of the wor

    Motivation: Intimately tied to assembly quality is the complexity of the de Bruijn graph built by the assembler. Thus, there have been many paradigms developed to decrease the complexity of the de Bruijn graph. One obvious combinatorial paradigm for this is to allow the value of $k$ to vary; having a larger value of $k$ where the graph is more complex and a

    The transport properties at finite temperature of crystalline organic semiconductors are investigated, within the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, by combining exact diagonalization technique, Monte Carlo approaches, and maximum entropy method. The temperature-dependent mobility data measured in single crystals of rubrene are successfully reproduced: a crossover

    The inclusive production of the doubly heavy baryon $Ξ_{bb}$ is investigated at polarized and unpolar- ized photon collider. bb pair in both color triplet and sextet have been considered to transform into $Ξ_{bb}$. The results indicate that the contribution from color sextet is about 8% for $Ξ_{bb}$ production. For the ILC collision energy ranging from 91GeV

    The combination of energy harvesting and large-scale multiple antenna technologies provides a promising solution for improving the energy efficiency (EE) by exploiting renewable energy sources and reducing the transmission power per user and per antenna. However, the introduction of energy harvesting capabilities into large-scale multiple antenna systems pos

    We construct a family of asymptotically flat, rotating black holes with scalar hair and a regular horizon, within five dimensional Einstein&#39;s gravity minimally coupled to a complex, massive scalar field doublet. These solutions are supported by rotation and have no static limit. They are described by their mass $M$, two equal angular momenta $J_1=J_2\equ

    A coupling of the first-order paramagnetic-to-induced-ferromagnetic martensitic and the second-order antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic metamagnetic transitions was found in MnNi0.8Fe0.2Ge alloy. Based on the coupling, a magneto-volume effect driven by the martensitic transition and a table-like magnetocaloric effect generated by the successive magnetic phas

    We determine the baryon octet and decuplet masses as well as their wave functions in a covariant three-body Faddeev approach. We work in an approximation where irreducible three-body forces are neglected. In the two-body interactions we take into account a well explored rainbow-ladder kernel as well as flavor dependent meson-exchange terms motivated from the

    Using current sensing technology, a wealth of data on driving sessions is potentially available through a combination of vehicle sensors and drivers&#39; physiology sensors (heart rate, breathing rate, skin temperature, etc.). Our hypothesis is that it should be possible to exploit the combination of time series produced by such multiple sensors during a dri

    In a previous article we gave the general foundations of the theory of movement considered from a philosophical and mathematical point of view. Philosophical it meant to understand the opposition of the one and the multiple, mathematically to consider the opposition between the discreet and the continuous. In this article we want to show how the widespread i

    This article has his origin in some lectures given at the University of Bologna, inside an interdisciplinary program of mathematics, history of science, physics and philosophy. Since they are at the junction of these fields, movement and infinitesimal calculus are good instances to understand some fundamental questions in history of sciences, the diversity o

    Electrokinetic effects offer a method of choice to control flows in micro and nanofluidic systems. While a rather clear picture of these phenomena exists now for the liquid-solid interfaces, the case of liquid-air interfaces remains largely unexplored. Here we investigate at the molecular level electrokinetic transport in a liquid film covered with ionic sur

    In this paper, we address the problem of energy-efficient power allocation for secure communications in an amplify-and-forward (AF) large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (LS-MIMO) relaying system in presence of a passive eavesdropper. The benefits of an AF LS-MIMO relay are exploited to significantly improve the secrecy performance, especially the secre

    In this paper we obtain some sharp Hardy inequalities with weight functions that may admit singularities on the unit sphere. In order to prove the main results of the paper we use some recent sharp inequalities for the lowest eigenvalue of Schrödinger operators on the unit sphere obtaind in the paper [DEL].

    Participation in social groups are important but the collective behaviors of human as a group are difficult to analyze due to the difficulties to quantify ordinary social relation, group membership, and to collect a comprehensive dataset. Such difficulties can be circumvented by analyzing online social networks. In this paper, we analyze a comprehensive data

    Orbit-attitude hovering of a spacecraft at the natural relative equilibria in the body-fixed frame of a uniformly rotating asteroid is discussed in the framework of the full spacecraft dynamics, in which the spacecraft is modeled as a rigid body with the gravitational orbit-attitude coupling. In this hovering model, both the position and attitude of the spac

    The motion of a point mass in the J2 problem is generalized to that of a rigid body in a J2 gravity field. Different with the original J2 problem, the gravitational orbit-rotation coupling of the rigid body is considered in this generalized problem.

    The dynamical behavior of spacecraft around asteroids is a key element in design of such missions. An asteroid&#39;s irregular shape, non-spherical mass distribution and its rotational sate make the dynamics of spacecraft quite complex. This paper focuses on the gravity gradient torque of spacecraft around non-spherical asteroids. The gravity field of the as

    This paper suggests an effective method for facial recognition using fuzzy theory and Shannon entropy. Combination of fuzzy theory and Shannon entropy eliminates the complication of other methods. Shannon entropy calculates the ratio of an element between faces, and fuzzy theory calculates the member ship of the entropy with 1. More details will be mentioned

    In this paper, we extend the inexact Uzawa algorithm in [Q. Hu, J. Zou, SIAM J. Matrix Anal., 23(2001), pp. 317-338] to the nonsymmetric generalized saddle point problem. The techniques used here are similar to those in [Bramble \emph{et al}, Math. Comput. 69(1999), pp. 667-689], where the convergence of Uzawa type algorithm for solving nonsymmetric case dep

    We propose an inexact Uzawa algorithm with two variable relaxation parameters for solving the generalized saddle-point system. The saddle-point problems can be found in a wide class of applications, such as the augmented Lagrangian formulation of the constrained minimization, the mixed finite element method, the mortar domain decomposition method and the dis

    Energy and direction are tow basic properties of a vector. A discrete signal is a vector in nature. RIP of compressive sensing can not show the direction information of a signal but show the energy information of a signal. Hence, RIP is not complete. Orthogonal matrices can preserve angles and lengths. Preservation of length can show energies of signals like

    We show that the generalized McVittie spacetime, which represents a black hole with time-dependent mass in an expanding universe, is an exact solution of a subclass of the Horndeski family of actions. The heat-flow term responsible for the energy transfer between the black hole and the cosmological background is generated by the higher-order kinetic gravity

    In homogenization theory and multiscale modeling, typical functions satisfy the scaling law $f^ε(x) = f(x,x/ε)$, where $f$ is periodic in the second variable and $ε$ is the smallest relevant wavelength, $0<ε\ll1$. Our main result is a new $L^{2}$-stability estimate for the reconstruction of such bandlimited multiscale functions $f^ε$ from periodic nonuniform

    For stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with a superlinearly growing and globally one-sided Lipschitz continuous drift coefficient, the classical explicit Euler scheme fails to converge strongly to the exact solution. Recently, an explicit strongly convergent numerical scheme, called the tamed Euler method, is proposed in [Hutzenthaler, Jentzen & Kloede

    We give a characterization of critical points that allows us to define a metric invariant on all Riemannian manifolds $M$ with a lower sectional curvature bound and an upper radius bound. We show there is a uniform upper volume bound for all such manifolds with an upper bound on this invariant. We generalize results by Grove and Petersen and by Sill, Wilhelm

    For each $n > 0$ there is a one complex parameter family of homeomorphisms of the circle consisting of linear fractional transformations `conjugated by $z \to z^n$&#39;.

    Damage to the blood vessel triggers formation of a hemostatic plug, which is meant to prevent bleeding, yet the same phenomenon may result in a total blockade of a blood vessel by a thrombus, causing severe medical conditions.

    In \cite{JAMH1}, we prove the well posedness of the quasi-geostrophic equation $(QG)_α\;,1/2<α\leq 1$, in the space introduced by Z. Lei and F. Lin in \cite{ZY1}. In this chapter we discuss the long time behaviour. Mainly, we prove that $\|θ\|_{{\mathcal X}^{1-2α}}$ decays to zero as time goes to infinity.

    In the framework of the soft-wall model of AdS/QCD we calculated the $ρ$ meson nucleon coupling constant. Bulk-to boundary propagators for the free vector and spinor fields are presented, whose boundary values correspond to $ρ$ meson and to the nucleon respectively. The interaction Lagrangian between these fields is written in the bulk of AdS space and inclu

    An energy dependence of the mean transverse mass $\langle m_T\rangle$ at mid-rapidity in proton-proton ($p+p$) reactions is studied within the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD). The UrQMD model predicts a nonmonotonous dependence of $\langle m_T\rangle$ on collision energy for several hadron species: for $π^+$, $p$, $K^+$, and $Λ$ the mea

    The Aharonov-Bohm effect is considered by most authors as a quantum effect, but a generally accepted explanation does not seem to be available.

    This paper describes a relatively simple way of allowing a brain model to self-organise its concept patterns through nested structures. For a simulation, time reduction is helpful and it would be able to show how patterns may form and then fire in sequence, as part of a search or thought process. It uses a very simple equation to show how the inhibitors in p

    Let $Q_d$ denote the hypercube of dimension $d$. Given $d\geq m$, a spanning subgraph $G$ of $Q_d$ is said to be $(Q_d,Q_m)$-saturated if it does not contain $Q_m$ as a subgraph but adding any edge of $E(Q_d)\setminus E(G)$ creates a copy of $Q_m$ in $G$. Answering a question of Johnson and Pinto, we show that for every fixed $m\geq2$ the minimum number of e

    A homogeneous part of the Seiberg-Witten gauge equivalence relation for gauge fields can lead to solutions that involve matter fields in such a way that the gauge equivalence and the dimensional and index structures are preserved. In particular, we consider scalar fields coupled to U(1) gauge fields. The matter fields appear non-linearly in the map. As an ap

    The index of a graded ideal measures the number of linear steps in the graded minimal free resolution of the ideal. In this paper we study the index of powers and squarefree powers of edge ideals. Our results indicate that the index as a function of the power of an edge ideal $I$ is strictly increasing if $I$ has linear relations. Examples show that this nee

    We study the capture, annihilation and evaporation of dark matter (DM) inside the Sun. It has been shown that the DM self-interaction can increase the DM number inside the Sun. We demonstrate that this enhancement becomes more significant in the regime of small DM mass, given a fixed DM self-interaction cross section. This leads to the enhancement of neutrin

    In 1893, the &#34;physicist-engineer&#34; André Blondel invents the oscilloscope for displaying voltage and current variables. With this powerful means of investigation, he first studies the phenomena of the arc then used for the coastal and urban lighting and then, the singing arc used as a transmitter of radio waves in wireless telegraphy. In 1905, he high

    Natural selection at one site shapes patterns of genetic variation at linked sites. Quantifying the effects of &#39;linked selection&#39; on levels of genetic diversity is key to making reliable inference about demography, building a null model in scans for targets of adaptation, and learning about the dynamics of natural selection. Here, we introduce the fi

    We study the connection between radiative energy loss and radiative p_T-broadening of a high-energy quark or gluon passing through QCD matter. The generalized Baier-Dokshitzer-Mueller-Peigne-Schiff-Zakharov (BDMPS-Z) formalism is used to calculate energy loss due to multiple gluon emission. With L the length of the matter and l_0 the size of constituents of

    According to Medvedev and Scanlon, a polynomial $f(x)\in \bar{\mathbb Q}[x]$ of degree $d\geq 2$ is called disintegrated if it is not linearly conjugate to $x^d$ or $\pm C_d(x)$ (where $C_d(x)$ is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $d$). Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $f_1,\ldots,f_n\in \bar{\mathbb Q}[x]$ be disintegrated polynomials of degrees at least 2, and l

    We consider a class of $\mathcal C^{4}$ partially hyperbolic systems on $\mathbb T^2$ described by maps $F_\varepsilon(x,θ)=(f(x,θ),θ+\varepsilonω(x,θ))$ where $f(\cdot,θ)$ are expanding maps of the circle. For sufficiently small $\varepsilon$ and $ω$ generic in an open set, we precisely classify the SRB measures for $F_\varepsilon$ and their statistical pro

    A wild bootstrap method for nonparametric hypothesis tests based on kernel distribution embeddings is proposed. This bootstrap method is used to construct provably consistent tests that apply to random processes, for which the naive permutation-based bootstrap fails. It applies to a large group of kernel tests based on V-statistics, which are degenerate unde

    We prove several limit theorems for a simple class of partially hyperbolic fast-slow systems. We start with some well know results on averaging, then we give a substantial refinement of known large (and moderate) deviation results and conclude with a completely new result (a local limit theorem) on the distribution of the process determined by the fluctuatio

    Among other things, we prove that, for a doubling weight $w$, $0< p\leq\infty$, $r\in{\mathbb N}_0$, and $0<α<r+1 - 1/λ_p$, we have \[ E_n(f)_{p, w_n} = O(n^{-α}) \iff ω_φ^{r+1}(f, n^{-1})_{p, w_n} = O(n^{-α}), \] where $λ_p := p$ if $0 < p < \infty$, $λ_p :=1$ if $p=\infty$, $\|f\|_{p,w} := \left( \int_{-1}^1 |f(u)|^p w(u) du \right)^{1/p}$, $\|f\|_{\infty,

    First we recall the notion of conxity and log-convexity for real-valued. Then we generalize the trick used by Artin in his famous paper on the Gamma function to find log-convex solutions to the functional equations f(x+1)=g(x)f(x). This gives rise to understand a function by its representer.

    In [1] the problem of finding a sharp lower bound on lower against number of a general graph is mentioned as an open question. We solve the problem by establishing a tight lower bound on lower against number of a general graph in terms of order and maximum degree.

    In previous papers, we developed a technique for estimating the inner eccentricity in hierarchical triple systems, with the inner orbit being initially circular. We considered systems with well separated components and different initial setups (e.g. coplanar and non-coplanar orbits). However, the systems we examined had comparable masses. In the present pape

    In a previous paper, we developed a technique for estimating the inner eccentricity in coplanar hierarchical triple systems on initially circular orbits, with comparable masses and with well separated components, based on an expansion of the rate of change of the Runge-Lenz vector. Now, the same technique is extended to non-coplanar orbits. However, it can o

    This paper presents real-time guidance strategies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can be used to enhance their flight endurance by utilizing {\sl insitu} measurements of wind speeds and wind gradients. In these strategies, periodic adjustments would be made in the airspeed and/or heading angle command for the UAV to minimize a projected power requir

    Systems integration is a difficult matter particularly when its components are varied. The problem becomes even more difficult when such components are heterogeneous such as humans, robots and software systems. Currently, the humans are regarded as users of artificial systems (robots and software systems). This has several disadvantages such as: (1) incohere

    We develop a technique for estimating the inner eccentricity in hierarchical triple systems, with the inner orbit being initially circular, while the outer one is eccentric. We consider coplanar systems with well separated components and comparable masses. The derivation of short period terms is based on an expansion of the rate of change of the Runge-Lenz v

    The hit combinatorial problem is a main challenge for track reconstruction and triggering at high rate experiments. At hadron colliders the dominant fraction of hits is due to low momentum tracks for which multiple scattering (MS) effects dominate the hit resolution. MS is also the dominating source for hit confusion and track uncertainties in low energy pre
