Exponential convergence rate of ruin probabilities for level-dependent Lévy-driven risk processes
We explicitly find the rate of exponential long-term convergence for the ruin probability in a level-dependent Lévy-driven risk model, as time goes to infinity. Siegmund duality allows to reduce the pro blem to long-term convergence of a reflected jump-diffusion to its stationary distribution, which is handled via Lyap...
\section{Introduction} A non-life insurance company holds at time $t=0$ an initial capital $u = X(0)\geq0$, collects premiums at a rate $p(x)>0$ depending on the current level of the capital $X(t)=x$, and pays from time to time a compensation (when a claim is filed). The aggregated size of claims up to time $t>0$ is m...

Hilbert functions of multigraded algebras, mixed multiplicities of ideals and their applications
This paper is a survey on major results on Hilbert functions of multigraded algebras and mixed multiplicities of ideals, including their applications to the computation of Milnor numbers of complex analytic hypersurfaces with isolated singularity, multiplicities of blowup algebras and mixed volumes of polytopes.
\section{Introduction} Let $R=\bigoplus_{t=0}^\infty R_t$ be a Noetherian graded algebra over a field $k$. Then $R_t$ is a finite dimensional $k$-vector space. In his historic paper, \cite{hi1} Hilbert considered the generating function $$H(R,z):=\sum_{t=0}^\infty H_R(t)z^t$$ of the sequence $H_R(t):=\dim_kR_t.$...

On the structure of braid groups on complexes
We consider the braid groups $\mathbf{B}_n(X)$ on finite simplicial complexes $X$, which are generalizations of those on both manifolds and graphs that have been studied already by many authors. We figure out the relationships between geometric decompositions for $X$ and their effects on braid groups, and provide an al...
\section{Introduction} The braid group $\mathbf{B}_n(D^2)$ on a 2-disk $D^2$ was firstly introduced by E.~Artin in 1920's, and Fox and Neuwirth generalized it to braid groups $\mathbf{B}_n(X)$ on arbitrary topological spaces $X$ via {\em configuration spaces}, which are defined as follows. For a compact, connected top...

The Liouville theorem as a problem of common eigenfunctions
It is shown that, by appropriately defining the eigenfunctions of a function defined on the extended phase space, the Liouville theorem on solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation can be formulated as the problem of finding common eigenfunctions of $n$ constants of motion in involution, where $n$ is the number of deg...
\section{Introduction} In the framework of the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics, the Liouville theorem asserts that, for a mechanical system with $n$ degrees of freedom, if we have $n$ constants of motion in involution, $F_{1}, F_{2}, \ldots, F_{n}$ (that is, $\{ F_{i}, F_{j} \} = 0$ for $i, j = 1, 2, \l...

A characterization of Zoll Riemannian metrics on the 2-sphere
The simple length spectrum of a Riemannian manifold is the set of lengths of its simple closed geodesics. We prove a theorem claimed by Lusternik: in any Riemannian 2-sphere whose simple length spectrum consists of only one element L, any geodesic is simple closed with length L.
\section{Introduction} A remarkable class of closed Riemannian manifolds is given by those all of whose geodesics are closed. A detailed account of the state of the art of the research on this subject up to the late 1970s is contained in the celebrated monograph of Besse \cite{Besse:1978pr}, while for more recent resu...

Fractional Newton-Raphson Method
The Newton-Raphson (N-R) method is useful to find the roots of a polynomial of degree n. However, this method is limited since it diverges for the case in which polynomials only have complex roots if a real initial condition is taken. In the present work, we explain an iterative method that is created using the fractio...

Some properties of a Rudin-Shapiro-like sequence
We introduce the sequence $(i_n)_{n \geq 0}$ defined by $i_n = (-1)^{inv_2(n)}$, where $inv_2(n)$ denotes the number of inversions (i.e., occurrences of 10 as a scattered subsequence) in the binary representation of n. We show that this sequence has many similarities to the classical Rudin-Shapiro sequence. In particul...

The influence of the symmetry of identical particles on flight times
In this work, our purpose is to show how the symmetry of identical particles can influence the time evolution of free particles in the nonrelativistic and relativistic domains. For this goal, we consider a system of either two distinguishable or indistinguishable (bosons and fermions) particles. Two classes of initial ...
\section{Introduction} It is well understood that the symmetry of indistinguishable particles has a profound influence on their dynamics. A feature which is well documented is the ``bunching" of bosons \cite{brown1956,jeltes2007} and ``anti-bunching" of fermions \cite{henny1999,oliver1999,kiesel2002,ianuzzi2006,rom200...

Ray Effect Mitigation for the Discrete Ordinates Method Using Artificial Scattering
Solving the radiative transfer equation with the discrete ordinates (S$_N$) method leads to a non-physical imprint of the chosen quadrature set on the solution. To mitigate these so-called ray effects, we propose a modification of the S$_N$ method, which we call artificial scattering S$_N$ (as-S$_N$). The method adds a...
\section{Results} In the following, we evaluate the proposed method within the scope of two numerical test cases: (i) the line-source problem is used as it is inherently prone to ray-effects when using the S$_N$ method, and (ii) the lattice test case models---in a very simplified way---neutrons in a fission reactor w...

Injective hulls of certain discrete metric spaces and groups
Injective metric spaces, or absolute 1-Lipschitz retracts, share a number of properties with CAT(0) spaces. In the 1960es, J. R. Isbell showed that every metric space X has an injective hull E(X).

Tight Lower Bounds on Worst-Case Guarantees for Zero-Shot Learning with Attributes
We develop a rigorous mathematical analysis of zero-shot learning with attributes. In this setting, the goal is to label novel classes with no training data, only detectors for attributes and a description of how those attributes are correlated with the target classes, called the class-attribute matrix. We develop the ...
