The magnetic, noncollinear parametrization of Dudarev's DFT + U method is generalized to fully relativistic ultrasoft pseudopotentials. We present the definition of the DFT + U total energy functional and the calculation of forces and stresses in the case ...
We give a characterization of rational points lying on the Noether-Lefschetz locus of moduli spaces of K3 surfaces by studying their lifting properties under some natural coverings of the ambient space. We then prove that the Bombieri-Lang conjecture impli ...
Given a sequence of functions f1,…,fn with fi:D↦R, finite-sum minimization seeks a point x⋆∈D minimizing ∑j=1nfj(x)/n. In this work, we propose a key twist into the finite-sum minimizat ...
Full wavefront control by photonic components requires that the spatial phase modulation on an incoming optical beam ranges from 0 to 2 pi. Because of their radiative coupling to the environment, all optical components are intrinsically non-Hermitian syste ...
We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...
Local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasmas demonstrate that turbulent eddies can extend along magnetic field lines for hundreds of poloidal turns when the magnetic shear is very small. By accurately modeling different field line topologies ...
Aquatic vegetation is ubiquitous in lowland rivers, and it is typically present in the shape of spatial self-organized patches of biomass. In this work, we mathematically define the threshold conditions for the incipient formation of self-organized vegetat ...
We introduce several spatially adaptive model order reduction approaches tailored to non-coercive elliptic boundary value problems, specifically, parametric-in-frequency Helmholtz problems. The offline information is computed by means of adaptive finite el ...
Let K be a totally real number field of degree n >= 2. The inverse different of K gives rise to a lattice in Rn. We prove that the space of Schwartz Fourier eigenfunctions on R-n which vanish on the "component-wise square root" of this lattice, is infinite ...
We study the basic problem of assigning memoryless workers to tasks with dynamically changing demands. Given a set of w workers and a multiset T ⊆ [t] of |T| = w tasks, a memoryless worker-task assignment function is any function ϕ that assigns the workers ...
