Let $V$ be a set of vertices on a circumference in the plane. Let $E$ be a set of directed line segments linking two vertices of $V$. If $E$ forms a set of closed cycles and for all two adjacent edges $uv$ and $vw$, the vertices $u$, $v$, $w$ are arranged in anti-clockwise order, we call $P(V,E)$ a cyclic polygon. A star decomposition...
\[ Δu+g(u)=f(x) \s \mbox{for $x \in Ω$}, \s u=0 \s \mbox{on $\partial Ω$} \] decompose $f(x)=μ_1 \p _1+e(x)$, where $\p _1$ is the principal eigenfunction of the Laplacian with zero boundary conditions, and $e(x) \perp \p _1$ in $L^2(Ω)$, and similarly write $u(x)= ξ_1 \p _i+U (x)$, with $ U \perp \p _1$ in $L^2(Ω)$. We study...
We study the spectral stability of Dirichlet eigenvalues on an embedded annulus whose boundary evolves by curve shortening flow while the ambient surface evolves under the two dimensional Ricci flow using variational formulas, Rellich--type identities, and harmonic capacity methods, we relate eigenvalue variations to geometric deficit...
We present a translation of Urysohn's description of normal spaces (as those where disjoint closed subsets are separated by a continuous function) into the language of lifting properties in $\mathbf{Top}$, correcting a frequently-cited previous erroneous translation. We also present a translation of the definition of hereditarily...
We introduce an $L^2$-norm on the space of Schwartz half-densities over algebraic stacks over local non-archimedean fields. We show that these $L^2$-norms are finite for the stacks of $PGL_2$-bundles on $\mathbb{P}^1$ with parabolic structures at $\ge 3$ points. The latter property was conjectured in the context of the analytic...
We first review the Cordes condition for nondivergence-form differential operators through the lens of Campanato's theory of near operators. We then survey a recently proposed Cordes framework that guarantees the existence and uniqueness of $L^2$ solutions to stationary Fokker--Planck--Kolmogorov equations subject to periodic boundary...
Lazarsfeld proved Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear system $|H|$ where $(X,H)$ is a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb{Z}\cdot H$. Mukai introduced the notion of Brill--Noether generality for quasi-polarized K3 surfaces. We prove Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear...
In this paper, we generalize the Dirac-dual-Dirac method to Hecke pairs with equivariant coarse embeddings and establish the K-theoretic isomorphisms between the maximal and reduced equivariant Roe algebras. We also extend these results to prove the Baum--Connes conjecture in this context.
We introduce a nearly parameter-free algorithm for minimizing piecewise smooth (PWS) convex functions under the quadratic-growth (QG) condition, where the locations and structure of the smooth regions are entirely unknown. Our algorithm, APEX (Accelerated Prox-Level method for Exploring Piecewise Smoothness), is an accelerated...
We show that the macroscopic version of Gromov's Urysohn width conjecture for scalar curvature is false in dimensions four and above. This is based on (1) a novel estimate on the codimension two Urysohn width of circle bundles over manifolds with large hypersphericity radius, and (2) a notion of ruling for Riemannian manifolds that...
In this paper, we study Iwasawa theory for Tate motives over totally real fields. More precisely, we construct a zeta element that interpolates the values of $L$-functions at positive integers over totally real fields under a certain unramified condition at $p$. As an application of this, we construct a canonical element in the...
In this paper, we study the long-time existence and asymptotic behavior of an anisotropic capillary Gauss curvature flow. By studying this flow and proving its convergence to a stationary solution, we establish a new existence result for the capillary Orlicz-Minkowski problem without the evenness assumption, and provide a flow...
In this paper, we study the nonlinear Helmholtz equation with mixed dispersion \begin{equation*} Δ^2 u-βk^2\, Δu+αk^4 u=W(x)\, |u|^{p-2}u~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation*} where the weight function $W(x)$ is continuous, nonnegative, and satisfies \[ \limsup_{|x|\to\infty} W(x) \;<\; \sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}^N} W(x). \] Within each...
Let $\{Z_n^i = (Z_n^i(r))_{1 \le r \le d}: n \ge 0\}$ be a supercritical $d$-type branching process in an i.i.d. environment $ξ= (ξ_0, ξ_1, \dots)$, starting from a single particle of type $i$. The offspring distribution at generation $n$ depends on the environment $ξ_n$, and we denote by $M_n = (M_n(i,j))_{1 \le i,j \le d}$ the...
We propose a stochastic trust-region method for unconstrained nonconvex optimization that incorporates stochastic variance-reduced gradients (SVRG) to accelerate convergence. Unlike classical trust-region methods, the proposed algorithm relies solely on stochastic gradient information and does not require function value evaluations....
We study iterated weighted residual (WR) splittings generated by a positive operator $R_{0}\in B\left(H\right)_{+}$ and a finite family of contractions $C_{1},\dots,C_{m}$ in $B\left(H\right)$. The associated residual update $R\mapsto R^{1/2}(I-C^{*}_{j}C_{j})R^{1/2}$ produces an $m$-ary energy tree of residuals $\left\{ R_{w}\right\}...
In this paper, we give a classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-pq$ for distinct primes $q>p\geq 5$. This together with previous classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-2p,-3p$ and $-p^2$ completes the classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-pq$ for two primes $p$ and $q$. An...
We study an online linear programming (OLP) model in which inventory is not provided upfront but instead arrives gradually through an exogenous stochastic replenishment process. This replenishment-based formulation captures operational settings, such as e-commerce fulfillment, perishable supply chains, and renewable-powered systems,...
The Couette-Taylor instability occurs in a viscous fluid confined between two coaxial rotating cylinders. When the Taylor number surpasses a critical value, the stable Couette flow destabilizes, giving way to steady Taylor vortices. As the Taylor number increases further, these vortices themselves become unstable, transitioning into...
This paper considers submodular function minimization (SFM) restricted to a family of subsets. We show that SFM over complements of families with certain hierarchical structures can be solved in polynomial-time. This yields a polynomial-time algorithm for SFM over complements of various families, such as intersecting families,...
We introduce RANDSMAPs (Random-feature/multi-scale neural decoders with Mass Preservation), numerical analysis-informed, explainable neural decoders designed to explicitly respect conservation laws when solving the challenging ill-posed pre-image problem in manifold learning. We start by proving the equivalence of vanilla random...
The integrated theory of the probe and singular sources methods (IPS) is developed for an inverse obstacle problem governed by the stationary Schrödinger equation in a bounded domain. The unknown obstacles are penetrable, and their surface is modeled by a part of the support of the potential in the governing equation. The main results...
The Marcinkiewicz--Zygmund theorem is a fundamental result in probability theory that establishes rates of convergence in the strong law of large numbers (SLLN). Although numerous extensions have been developed for dependent sequences, many classes of processes, particularly those exhibiting strong dependence, remain unexplored. In...
In this paper, we apply an implicit Euler scheme to discretize the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation and prove the existence of a numerical attractor for the discrete Ginzburg-Landau system. We establish the upper semicontinuity of the numerical attractor with respect to the global attractor as the time step tends to zero. Furthermore,...
For a discrete dynamical system on $\R$ generated by a quadratic function, we show, using elementary computations, that the existence, number, and stability of 3-cycles are determined by a single parameter depending on the coefficients of the function.
