The purpose of this paper is to study the number of limit cycles of canard type in linear regularizations of piecewise linear systems with non-monotonic transition functions. Using the notion of slow divergence integral and elementary breaking mechanisms, we construct systems with an arbitrary finite number of hyperbolic limit cycles....
We say that $d_3(n)$ has exponent of distribution $θ$ if, for every $\varepsilon>0$, the expected asymptotic holds uniformly for all moduli $q \le x^{θ-\varepsilon}$. Nguyen proved, following earlier work of Banks, Heath-Brown, and Shparlinski, that after averaging over reduced residue classes $a \bmod q$, the function $d_3(n)$ has...
Jacobson's commutativity theorem says that a ring is commutative if, for each $x$, $x^n = x$ for some $n > 1$. Herstein's generalization says that the condition can be weakened to $x^n-x$ being central. In both theorems, $n$ may depend on $x$. In this paper, in certain cases where $n$ is a fixed constant, we find equational proofs of...
We establish upper and lower bounds on the maximal number of steps needed to transform a cyclic permutation to the canonical cyclic permutation using conjugation by adjacent transpositions, and on the diameter of the underlying Schreier graph.
We give novel and explicit formulas for the Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of rational simple polytopes, in terms of Barnes polynomials and discrete moments of half-open parallelepipeds. These formulas also hold for all positive dilations of a rational polytope. There is an interesting appearance of an extra complex z-parameter, which...
We evaluate definite integrals involving the product of four modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind and a power function. We provide general formulas expressed in terms of the Meijer $G$-function and generalized hypergeometric and Lauricella $F_C$ functions, and study a number of special cases in which the integrals...
We study a one-parameter family of binomial-convolution operators acting on sequences. These operators form an additive semigroup with an explicit inverse, and they subsume iterated classical binomial transforms as a special case. We describe the action in terms of ordinary and exponential generating functions, interpret the transform...
An $L(3,2,1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ of nonnegative integers to vertices such that $\vert f(x)-f(y)\vert > 3-\mbox{dist}_G(x,y)$ for every pair $x,y$ of vertices of $G$, where $\mbox{dist}_G(x,y)$ denotes the distance between $x$ and $y$ in $G$. The minimum span (i.e., the difference between the largest and the...
We introduce an extension of interpolation theory to more than two spaces by employing a functional parameter, while retaining a fully functorial and systematic framework. This approach allows for the construction of generalized intermediate spaces and ensures stability under natural operations such as powers and convex combinations....
Despite its elementary definition, the self-avoiding walk (SAW) poses notoriously hard enumerative problems: exact connective constants are known for only a handful of infinite graphs, notably the honeycomb lattice \cite{ds}. We establish a general substitution principle for SAWs on infinite connected quasi-transitive cubic graphs...
We develop a Dieudonné theory for $p$-divisible groups using sheared Witt vectors.
We bound the second Chern class of the tangent sheaf of a codimension-one foliation. Equivalently, we bound the degree of the pure codimension-two part of the singular scheme. In particular, for a degree-$d$ foliation on the projective space, the codimension-two part of its singular scheme must have degree at least $d+1$. Moreover,...
In this paper, we generalize the notion of connections, which was introduced by Alain Connes in noncommutative differential geometry, to the differential graded (DG) homological algebra setting. Then, along a DG algebra homomorphism $A \to B$, where $B$ is assumed to be projective as an underlying graded $A$-module, we give necessary...
It is known that, in univalent mathematics, type universes, the type of $n$-types in a universe, reflective subuniverses, and the underlying type of any algebra of the lifting monad are all (algebraically) injective. Here, we further show that the type of ordinals, the type of iterative (multi)sets, the underlying type of any pointed...
Symplectic geometry plays an increasingly important role in mathematics, physics and applications, and naturally gives rise to interesting matrix families and properties. One of these is the notion of symplectic eigenvalues, whose existence for positive definite matrices is known as Williamson's theorem or decomposition. This notion...
We present a dynamical low-rank (DLR) method for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) system. Our main contributions are two-fold: (i) a conservative spatial discretization of the Fokker-Planck operator that factors into velocity-only and space-only components, enabling efficient low-rank projection, and (ii) a time discretization...
We prove a two-parameter family of continued fraction identities for $\arctan(p/q)$, where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers with $p\le q$. For every such pair, the identity \[ \arctan\frac{p}{q} = \cfrac{p}{q+\cfrac{p^2}{3q+\cfrac{(2p)^2}{5q+\cfrac{(3p)^2}{7q+\cdots}}}} \] holds, and a sign-flipped variant represents...
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed, smooth, Riemannian manifold of dimension $m \geq 1$. Let $η$ be a smooth $(0,1)$-tensor field on $M$. The divergence of $η$ is defined as $\text{div}_g(η):=g^{ij}(\nabla η)_{ij}$. Now let $Δ_g$ be a differential operator on $M$ that is given on functions by $Δ_g u = \text{div}_g \nabla u$. We will call $Δ_g$...
We study covering graphs of the Paley graph associated to a finite field of characteristic p in the case where the covering transformation group is cyclic of prime order distinct from p. When the field has q = p elements, we show that the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix determine the graph isomorphism class among translation...
In this work, we exhibit several subclasses of weakly dicomplemented lattices (WDLs) based on their skeletons and dual skeletons. We investigate normal filters (resp. ideals) and show that the set of normal filters (resp. ideals) forms a complete lattice, which is not a sublattice of the lattice of all filters (ideals). The normal...
In this paper, we study contact structures supported by open book decompositions whose pages are four-punctured spheres. The paper is split into two parts. In the first part, we find infinitely many overtwisted, right-veering monodromies on the four-punctured sphere. This is done using the techniques developed by Ito-Kawamuro in the...
Our purpose in this paper is to construct new examples of twisted Brill Noether loci on curves of genus g greater than 2 with negative expected dimension. We begin by completing the proof of Butler's conjecture for coherent systems of certain type establishing the birationality, smoothness, and irreducibility of the corresponding...
We establish the global existence of a class of weak solutions to the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-plane with Dirichlet boundary conditions, allowing for vacuum both in the interior and at infinity, under a suitably small initial total energy. The solutions constructed here admit unbounded densities and...
Standard fractional models on manifolds often conflate geometric anisotropy with medium heterogeneity. In this Letter, we overcome this rigidity by deriving the fundamental solution for a weighted space-time fractional ultrahyperbolic operator, denoted by $(-\Box_{φ,ω})^β$. Using a novel spectral approach based on the Weighted Fourier...
In a digraph $D$,a quasi-kernel is an independent set $Q$ such that for every vertex $u$, there is a vertex $v \in Q$ satisfying $\text{dist}(v,u)\leq 2$. In 1974 Chvátal and Lovász showed every digraph contains a quasi-kernel. In 1976, P. L. Erdős and Székely conjectured that every sourceless digraph has a quasi-kernel of order at...
