Neighbourly set of a graph is a subset of edges which either share an end point or are joined by an edge of that graph. The maximum cardinality neighbourly set problem is known to be NP-complete for general graphs. Mahdian (M.Mahdian, On the computational complexity of strong edge coloring, Discrete Applied Mathematics, 118:239-248, 2002) proved that it is i

We study renormalization of highly dissipative analytic three dimensional Hénon maps $$ F(x,y,z) = (f(x) - \varepsilon(x,y,z),\ x,\ δ(x,y,z)) $$ where $ \varepsilon(x,y,z) $ is a sufficiently small perturbation of $ \varepsilon_{2d}(x,y) $. Under certain conditions, $ C^r $ single invariant surfaces each of which is tangent to the invariant plane field over

The electronic structure of WTe2 bulk and layers are investigated by using the first principles calculations. The perfect electron-hole (n-p) charge compensation and high carrier mobilities are found in WTe2 bulk, which may result in the large and non-saturating magnetoresistance (MR) observed very recently in the experiment [Ali et al., Nature 514, 205 (201

We study topological recursion on the irregular spectral curve $xy^2-xy+1=0$, which produces a weighted count of dessins d'enfant. This analysis is then applied to topological recursion on the spectral curve $xy^2=1$, which takes the place of the Airy curve $x=y^2$ to describe asymptotic behaviour of enumerative problems associated to irregular spectral

We obtain an explicit integral representation of Siegel-Whittaker functions on Sp(2,R) for the large discrete series representations. We have another integral expression different from that of Miyazaki [7].

This paper is a continuation of our study of compact, power compact, Riesz, and quasicompact endomorphisms of commutative Banach algebras. Previously it has been shown that if $B$ is a unital commutative semisimple Banach algebra with connected character space, and $T$ is a unital endomorphism of $B$, then $T$ is quasicompact if and only if the operators $T^

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the cataclysmic variable MASTER OT J132104.04+560957.8 which strongly indicate that it is a polar with an orbital period of 91 minutes. The optical light curve shows two maxima and two minima per orbital cycle, with considerable variation in the strength of the secondary maximum and in the morphology a

We present a technique for addressing single NV$^{-}$ center spins in diamond over macroscopic distances using a tunable dielectric microwave cavity. We demonstrate optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) for a single NV$^{-}$ center in a nanodiamond (ND) located directly under the macroscopic microwave cavity. By moving the cavity relative to the ND, w

We investigate the statistical behaviors of 3D hairy black holes in the presence of a scalar field. The present study is made in terms of two relevant parameters: rotation parameter a and B parameter related to the scalar field. More precisely, we compute various statistical quantities including the partition function for non-charged and charged black hole s

This is a set of lectures that I presented at the Les Houches 2014 Summer School "Topological Aspects in Condensed Matter Physics". The lectures are an introduction to physics of proteins. To physicists, and by a physicist. My lectures at les Houches were also celebration of the anniversary of Schroedinger's 1944 lectures, and for that reason I d

We present a study of the magneto-ionic medium in the Whirlpool galaxy (M51) using new wide-band multi-configuration polarization data at L band (1-2 GHz) obtained at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. By fitting the observed diffuse complex polarization $Q$+$iU$ as a function of wavelength directly to various depolarization models, we find that polarized

The formation of complex organic molecules (COMs) in protostellar environments is a hotly debated topic. In particular, the relative importance of the gas phase processes as compared to a direct formation of COMs on the dust grain surfaces is so far unknown. We report here the first high-resolution images of acetaldehyde (CH$_3$CHO) emission towards the chem

We consider the following Chern-Simons equation, \begin{equation} \label{0.1} Δu+\frac 1{\varepsilon^2} e^u(1-e^u)=4π\sum_{i=1}^N δ_{p_i^\varepsilon},\quad \text{in}\quad Ω, \end{equation} where $Ω$ is a 2-dimensional flat torus, $\varepsilon>0$ is a coupling parameter and $δ_p$ stands for the Dirac measure concentrated at $p$. In this paper, we proved that

Structural rearrangement of liquid Bi in the vicinity of the melting point has been proposed due to the unique temperature invariant sound velocity observed above the melting temperature, the low symmetry of Bi in the solid phase and the necessity of overheating to achieve supercooling. The existence of this structural rearrangement is examined by measuremen

Cr$^{3+}$ doped spinel compounds AB$_2$O$_4$ with A=Zn, Mg and B=Ga, Al exhibit a long near infrared persistent luminescence when excited with UV or X-rays. In addition, persistent luminescence of ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ and to a lesser extent MgGa$_2$O$_4$, can also be induced by visible light excitation via $^4$A$_2$ $ \rightarrow $ $^4$T$_2$ transition of Cr$^{3+}$

The sound velocity in selected liquid alloys of the isomorphous Bi-Sb system was measured as a function of temperature to a high accuracy of 0.2%. The sound velocity temperature coefficient, dlnc/dT, at the liquidus is found to vary non-monotonously as a function of alloy composition, with the transition from normal to anomalous temperature dependence occurr

We investigate the QCD phase diagram at zero chemical potential and finite temperature in the presence of an external magnetic field within the three flavor Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio and entangled Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models looking for the inverse magnetic catalysis. Two scenarios for a scalar coupling parameter dependent on the magnetic field inte

The chapter is devoted to chemical uniqueness of graphene. In view of molecular theory, the latter is a consequence of benzenoid packing of carbon atoms, based on three neighbors to each carbon atom leaving the atom fourth valence electron (the odd one) on its own. Due to rather large C-C distances, the odd electrons of graphene molecules are correlated wher

This paper investigates the simultaneous wireless information and energy transfer for the non-regenerative multipleinput multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) relaying system. By considering two practical receiver architectures, we present two protocols, time switchingbased relaying (TSR) and power splitting-based relaying (P

In this note we introduce the notion of $t$-analytic sets. Using this concept, we construct a class of closed prime ideals in Banach function algebras and discuss some problems related to Alling's conjecture in $H^\infty$. A description of all closed $t$-analytic sets for the disk-algebra is given. Moreover, we show that some of the assertions in Daoui e

We consider the homogenization of a model of reactive flows through periodic porous media involving a single solute which can be absorbed and desorbed on the pore boundaries. This is a system of two convection-diffusion equations, one in the bulk and one on the pore boundaries, coupled by an exchange reaction term. The novelty of our work is to consider a no

The parallel algorithm for loading large sparse matrices from files into distributed memories of high performance computing (HPC) systems is presented. This algorithm was designed specially for matrices stored in files in the space-effcient adaptive-blocking hierarchical storage format (ABHSF).

We consider the parameterized version of the maximum internal spanning tree problem, which, given an $n$-vertex graph and a parameter $k$, asks for a spanning tree with at least $k$ internal vertices. Fomin et al. [J. Comput. System Sci., 79:1-6] crafted a very ingenious reduction rule, and showed that a simple application of this rule is sufficient to yield

In a previous work \cite{She} we constructed measures on symbolic spaces which satisfy an extended multifractal formalism (in the sense that Olsen's functions $b$ and $B$ differ and that their Legendre transforms have the expected interpretation in terms of dimensions). These measures are composed with a Gray code and projected onto the unit interval so

Context: One aspect of understanding the dynamics of the quiet Sun is to quantify the evolution of the flux within small-scale magnetic features. These features are routinely observed in the quiet photosphere and were given various names, such as pores, knots, magnetic patches.

The field of the globular cluster NGC 6362 was monitored between 1995 and 2009 in a search for variable stars. BV light curves were obtained for 69 periodic variables including 34 known RR Lyr stars, 10 known objects of other types and 25 newly detected variables. Among the latter we identified 18 proper-motion members of the cluster: seven detached eclipsin

A process centric view of robust PCA (RPCA) allows its fast approximate implementation based on a special form o a deep neural network with weights shared across all layers. However, empirically this fast approximation to RPCA fails to find representations that are parsemonious. We resolve these bad local minima by relaxing the elementwise L1 and L2 priors a

The interplay between charge, spin, and heat currents in magnetic nano systems subjected to a temperature gradient has lead to a variety of novel effects and promising applications studied in the fast-growing field of spincaloritronics. Here we explore the magnetothermoelectrical properties of an individual magnetic domain wall in a permalloy nanowire. In th

The higher charge states found in slow ($<$400km s$^{-1}$) solar wind streams compared to fast streams have supported the hypothesis that the slow wind originates in closed coronal loops, and released intermittently through reconnection. Here we examine whether a highly ionized slow wind can also form along steady and open magnetic field lines. We model the

The same type of objects in different images may vary in their shapes because of rigid and non-rigid shape deformations, occluding foreground as well as cluttered background. The problem concerned in this work is the shape extraction in such challenging situations. We approach the shape extraction through shape alignment and recovery. This paper presents a n

A classic theorem of Euclidean geometry asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chvátal conjectured that this holds for an arbitrary finite metric space, with a certain natural definition of lines in a metric space. We prove that in any metric space with $n$ points, either there is a line

This paper presents a new user feedback mechanism based on Wikipedia concepts for interactive retrieval. In this mechanism, the system presents to the user a group of Wikipedia concepts, and the user can choose those relevant to refine his/her query. To realize this mechanism, we propose methods to address two problems: 1) how to select a small number of pos

While in the lowest Landau level the electron-electron interaction leads to the formation of the Wigner crystal, in higher Landau levels a solid phase with multiple electrons in a lattice site of crystal was predicted, which was called the bubble phase. Reentrant integer quantum Hall states are believed to be the insulating bubble phase pinned by disorder. W

We shall investigate randomized algorithms for solving large-scale linear inverse problems with general regularizations. We first present some techniques to transform inverse problems of general form into the ones of standard form, then apply randomized algorithms to reduce large-scale systems of standard form to much smaller-scale systems and seek their reg

We give conditions on when a triangular matrix ring is Gorenstein of a given selfinjective dimension. We apply the result to the category algebra of a finite EI category. In particular, we prove that for a finite EI category, its category algebra is 1-Gorenstein if and only if the given category is free and projective.

In this paper, we first generalize a value distribution result of Lahiri and Dewan [4] and as an application of this result we prove a normality criterion using partial sharing of small functions. Further, in sequel normality criteria of Hu and Meng [3] and Ding, Ding and Yuan [1] are improved and generalized when the domain $D:=\{z:|z|<R,0<R\leq\infty\}$.

Kuldeep Singh Charak, Banarsi Lal

In this paper, we prove some uniqueness results which improve and generalize several earlier works. Also, we prove a value distribution result concerning $f^{(k)}$ which provides a partial answer to a question of Fang and Wang [A note on the conjectures of Hayman, Mues and Gol&#39;dberg, Comp. Methods, Funct. Theory (2013)13, 533-543].

The long awaited baryonic $B$ decay $\bar B{}^0\to p\bar p$ was recently observed by LHCb with a branching fraction of order $10^{-8}$. All the earlier model predictions are too large compared with experiment. In this work, we point out that for a given tree operator $O_i$, the contribution from its Fiertz transformed operator, an effect often missed in the

In this paper, we prove two normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions. The first criterion extends a result of Fang and Zalcman[Normal families and shared values of meromorphic functions II, Comput. Methods Funct.

In this paper, we define (reduced) homeology groups and (reduced) cohomeology groups on finite simpicial complexes and prove that these groups are PL homeomorphsm invariants of polyhedra, while they are not homotopy invariants. So these groups can reflect some information that (co)homology groups can not tell. We also define homeotopy type of polyhedra which

In this paper, we first address the space-time decay properties for higher order derivatives of strong solutions to the Boussinesq system in the usual Sobolev space. The decay rates obtained here are optimal. The proof is based on a parabolic interpolation inequality, bootstrap argument and some weighted estimates. Secondly, we present a new solution integra

In this paper we study the timing and spectral properties of Be/X-ray binary pulsar EXO 2030+375 using a $Suzaku$ observation on 2012 May 23, during a less intense Type I outburst. Pulsations were clearly detected in the X-ray light curves at a barycentric period of 41.2852 s which suggests that the pulsar is spinning-up. The pulse profiles were found to be

In this paper, we derive new matrix representation for Daehee numbers and polynomials, the lambda-Daehee numbers and polynomials and the twisted Daehee numbers and polynomials.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate a new unification of unified family of Apostol-type polynomials and numbers based on results given in [24] and [25]. Also, we derive some properties for these polynomials and obtain some relationships between the Jacobi polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, Hermite polynomials, Stirling numbers and some

In this paper, considering the Eichler-Shimura cohomology theory for Jacobi forms, we study connections between harmonic Maass-Jacobi forms and Jacobi integrals. As an application we study a pairing between two Jacobi integrals, which is defined by special values of partial $L$-functions of skew-holomorphic Jacobi cusp forms. We obtain connections between th

We consider whether Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BAL QSOs) and Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are similar, as suggested by Brandt & Gallagher (2000) and Boroson (2002). For this purpose we constructed a sample of 11 BAL QSOs from existing Chandra and Swift observations. We found that BAL QSOs and NLS1s both operate at high Eddington ratios L/Ledd,

We conducted high dispersion spectroscopic observations of 50 superflare stars with Subaru/HDS. These 50 stars were selected from the solar-type superflare stars that we had discovered from the Kepler data. More than half (34 stars) of these 50 target superflare stars show no evidence of binarity, and we estimated stellar parameters of these 34 stars in our

We address the analyticity and large time decay rates for strong solutions of the Hall-MHD equations. By Gevrey estimates, we show that the strong solution with small initial date in $H^r(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with $r>\f 52$ becomes analytic immediately after $t>0$, and the radius of analyticity will grow like $\sqrt{t}$ in time. Upper and lower bounds on the decay

The first- and second-order temporal interference between two independent thermal and laser light beams is discussed by employing the superposition principle in Feynman&#39;s path integral theory. It is concluded that the first-order temporal interference pattern can not be observed by superposing thermal and laser light, while the second-order temporal inte

Tensor decompositions are promising tools for big data analytics as they bring multiple modes and aspects of data to a unified framework, which allows us to discover complex internal structures and correlations of data. Unfortunately most existing approaches are not designed to meet the major challenges posed by big data analytics. This paper attempts to imp

Let f_{k}(n) be the maximum number of time steps taken to reach equilibrium by a system of n agents obeying the k-dimensional Hegselmann-Krause bounded confidence dynamics. Previously, it was known that Ω(n) = f_{1}(n) = O(n^3). Here we show that f_{1}(n) = Ω(n^2), which matches the best-known lower bound in all dimensions k >= 2.

In this paper, we revisit Janssen&#39;s (2003) formulation for the dynamic excess kurtosis of weakly nonlinear gravity waves at deep water. For narrowband directional spectra, the formulation is given by a sixfold integral that depends upon the Benjamin-Feir index and the parameter $R=σ_θ^{2}/2ν^{2}$, a measure of short-crestedness for the dominant waves wit

Graphene irradiated by a circularly polarized laser has been predicted to be a Floquet topological insulator showing a laser-induced quantum Hall effect. A circularly polarized laser also drives the system out of equilibrium resulting in non-thermal electron distribution functions that strongly affect transport properties.

From the point of view of the gauge hierarchy problem, introducing an intermediate scale in addition to TeV scale and the Planck scale ($M_{\rm Pl} = 2.4 \times 10^{18}\,{\rm GeV}$) is unfavorable. In that way, a gauge coupling unification (GCU) is expected to be realized at $M_{\rm Pl}$. We explore possibilities of GCU at $M_{\rm Pl}$ by adding a few extra

We suggest a new Bayesian analysis using disjunct mass and radius constraints for extracting probability measures for cold, dense nuclear matter equations of state. One of the key issues of such an analysis is the question of a deconfinement transition in compact stars and whether it proceeds as a crossover or rather as a first order transition. The latter q

The dynamical motion of the magnetization plays a key role in the properties of magnetic materials. If the magnetization is initially away from the equilibrium direction in a magnetic nanoparticle, it will precess at a natural frequency and, with some damping present, will decay to the equilibrium position in a short lifetime.

The gradient flow equation in the 2D $O(N)$ nonlinear sigma model with lattice regularization is solved in the leading order of the $1/N$ expansion.

We study the large-volume-$L$ limit of form factors of the longitudinal spin operators for the XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain in the massive regime.

The &#34;metric&#34; structure of nonrelativistic spacetimes consists of a one-form (the absolute clock) whose kernel is endowed with a positive-definite metric. Contrarily to the relativistic case, the metric structure and the torsion do not determine a unique Galilean (i.e. compatible) connection. This subtlety is intimately related to the fact that the ti

Using the reconstruction technique with an auxiliary field, we investigate which $F(R)$ gravities can produce the matter bounce cosmological solutions. Owing to the specific functional form of the matter bounce Hubble parameter, the reconstruction technique leads, after some simplifications, to the same Hubble parameter as in the matter bounce scenario.

The main purpose of this paper is to study extremal results on the intersection graphs of boxes in $\R^d$. We calculate exactly the maximal number of intersecting pairs in a family $\F$ of $n$ boxes in $\R^d$ with the property that no $k+1$ boxes in $\F$ have a point in common. This allows us to improve the known bounds for the fractional Helly theorem for b

The Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality (and its permutations), are necessary and sufficient criteria for Bell nonlocality in the simplest Bell-nonlocality scenario: 2 parties, 2 measurements per party and 2 outcomes per measurement.

In the present work recently available experimental data for high-spin states of four nuclei, $^{124}_{\ 52}$Te, $^{125}_{\ 52}$Te, $^{126}_{\ 52}$Te, and $^{127}_{\ 52}$Te have been interpreted using state-of-the-art shell model calculations. The calculations have been performed in the $50-82$ valence shell composed of $1g_{7/2}$, $2d_{5/2}$, $1h_{11/2}$, $

We study parametric inference for diffusion processes when observations occur nonsynchronously and are contaminated by market microstructure noise. We construct a quasi-likelihood function and study asymptotic mixed normality of maximum-likelihood- and Bayes-type estimators based on it. We also prove the local asymptotic normality of the model and asymptotic

We theoretically investigate the dependence of the enhancement of optical near-fields at nanometric tips on the shape, size, and material of the tip. We confirm a strong dependence of the field enhancement factor on the radius of curvature. In addition, we find a surprisingly strong increase of field enhancement with increasing opening angle of the nanotips.

It is well known that under a BCFW-deformation, there is a boundary contribution when the amplitude scales as O(1) or worse. We show that boundary contributions have a similar recursion relation as scattering amplitude. Just like the BCFW recursion relation, where scattering amplitudes are expressed as the products of two on-shell sub-amplitudes (plus possib

Context. Many large stellar surveys have been and are still being carried out, providing huge amounts of data, for which stellar physical parameters will be derived. Solar twins and analogues provide a means to test the calibration of these stellar catalogues because the Sun is the best-studied star and provides precise fundamental parameters. Solar twins sh

Context: Several binary systems hosting massive stars present gamma-ray emission. In most of these systems, despite detailed observational information being available, the nature and the structure of the emitter are still poorly known. Aims: We investigate the validity of the so-called one-zone approximation for the high-energy emitter in binary systems host

X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool for the study of high energy accelerated electrons. Bremsstrahlung X-rays produced by, and directly related to, high energy electrons accelerated during a flare, provide a powerful diagnostic tool for determining both the properties of the accelerated electron distribution, and of the flaring coronal and chromospheric pl

Suppose we have data generated according to a multivariate normal distribution with a fixed unknown mean vector that is sparse in the sense of being nearly black. Optimality of Bayes estimates and posterior concentration properties in terms of the minimax risk in the $l_2$ norm corresponding to a very general class of continuous shrinkage priors are studied

In this paper we study the influence of the Hardy potential in the fractional heat equation. In particular, we consider the problem $$(P_θ)\quad \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} u_t+(-Δ)^{s} u&=&ł\dfrac{\,u}{|x|^{2s}}+θu^p+ c f\mbox{ in } Ω\times (0,T),\\ u(x,t)&>&0\inn Ω\times (0,T),\\ u(x,t)&=&0\inn (\ren\setminusΩ)\times[ 0,T),\\ u(x,0)&=&u_0(x) \mbox{ if }x\in

We have constrained possible new interactions which produce nonrelativistic potentials between polarized neutrons and unpolarized matter proportional to $α\vecσ\cdot\vec{v}$ where $\vecσ$ is the neutron spin and $\vec{v}$ is the relative velocity. We use existing data from laboratory measurements on the very long $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ spin relaxation times of

The irreducible modules for the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to any finite dimensional Lie algebra and any positive integer are identified, the quantum dimensions are computed and the fusion rules are determined.

We classify the terminal Fano threefolds of Picard number one that come with an effective action of a two-torus. Our approach applies also to higher dimensions and generalizes the correspondence between toric Fano varieties and lattice polytopes: to any Fano variety with a complete intersection Cox ring we associate its &#34;anti canonical complex&#34;, whic

We perform a dynamical analysis for the exponential scalar field with non-minimally derivative coupling. For the quintessence case, the stable fixed points are the same with and without the non-minimally derivative coupling. For the phantom case, the attractor with dark energy domination exists for the minimal coupling only. For the non-minimally derivative
