We consider the motion of rigid bodies in a potential fluid subject to certain nonholonomic constraints and show that it is described by Euler-Poincare-Suslov equations. In the two-dimensional case, when the constraint is realized by a blade attached to th ...
The fields of rapidly moving sources are studied within nonlinear electrodynamics by boosting the fields of sources at rest. As a consequence of the ultrarelativistic limit the δ-like electromagnetic shock waves are found. The character of the field within ...
Navigability of networks, that is, the ability to find any given destination vertex starting from any other vertex, is crucial to their usefulness. In 2000 Kleinberg showed that optimal navigability could be achieved in small world networks provided that a ...
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solution to equations of the p-Laplacian type in cylindrical domains becoming unbounded and address some issues regarding the solution in unbounded domains. ...
Consider a set of correlated sources located at the nodes of a network, and a sink to which the data from all the sources has to arrive. We address the minimization of a separable joint communication cost function given by the product [rate] × [edge ...
We derive constraints on the sign of couplings in an effective Higgs Lagrangian using prime principles such as the naturalness principle, global symmetries, and unitarity. Specifically, we study four dimension-six operators, O-H, O-y, O-g, and O-gamma, whi ...
Abstract—In this paper, a model is proposed to analyze the influence of timing imperfections on ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) time-hopping spread-spectrum (TH-SS) signaling schemes, where N pulses are coherently added to increase the received signal-tonoise r ...
We consider a model of the shape of a growing polymer introduced by Durrett and Rogers (Probab. Theory Related Fields 92 (1992) 337-349). We prove their conjecture about the asymptotic behavior of the underlying continuous process X-t (corresponding to the ...
The LeGall 5⁄3 and Daubechies 9⁄7 filters have risen to special prominence because they were selected for inclusion in the JPEG2000 standard. Here, we determine their key mathematical features: Riesz bounds, order of approximation, and regularity (Hölder a ...
It is investigated to what extent the trajectories of a stochastically switched (blinking) system follow the corresponding trajectories of the averaged system. Four cases have to be distinguished, depending on whether or not the averaged system has a uniqu ...
