A uniform result for the dimension of fractional Brownian motion level sets
Let $B =\{ B_t \, : \, t \geq 0 \}$ be a real-valued fractional Brownian motion of index $H \in (0,1)$. We prove that the macroscopic Hausdorff dimension of the level sets $\mathcal{L}_x = \left\{ t \in \mathbb{R}_+ \, : \, B_t=x \right\}$ is, with probability one, equal to $1-H$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}$.
\section{Introduction} Let $B =\{ B_t \, : \, t \geq 0 \}$ be a fractional Brownian motion of index $H \in (0,1)$, that is, a centered, real-valued Gaussian process with covariance function \begin{align} R(s,t)= \mathbb{E} \left( B_s B_t\right)= \dfrac{1}{2}\left( \lvert s \rvert ^{2H} + \lvert t \rvert ^{2H} - \lvert...

Least-Squares Approximation by Elements from Matrix Orbits Achieved by Gradient Flows on Compact Lie Groups
Let $S(A)$ denote the orbit of a complex or real matrix $A$ under a certain equivalence relation such as unitary similarity, unitary equivalence, unitary congruences etc. Efficient gradient-flow algorithms are constructed to determine the best approximation of a given matrix $A_0$ by the sum of matrices in $S(A_1), ......

The q-voter model on the torus
In the $q$-voter model, the voter at $x$ changes its opinion at rate $f_x^q$, where $f_x$ is the fraction of neighbors with the opposite opinion. Mean-field calculations suggest that there should be coexistence between opinions if $q<1$ and clustering if $q>1$. This model has been extensively studied by physicists, but...

Optimal Approximation -- Smoothness Tradeoffs for Soft-Max Functions

We assume throughout $x \ge y \ge 2$. We denote by $\rho\colon [0,\infty) \to (0,\infty)$ the Dickman function, defined as $...

An Empirical Comparison of the Quadratic Sieve Factoring Algorithm and the Pollard Rho Factoring Algorithm
One of the most significant challenges on cryptography today is the problem of factoring large integers since there are no algorithms that can factor in polynomial time, and factoring large numbers more than some limits(200 digits) remain difficult. The security of the current cryptosystems depends on the hardness of f...

New refinements of the McKay conjecture for arbitrary finite groups
Let $G$ be an arbitrary finite group and fix a prime number $p$.

The Alperin-McKay conjecture is a version of this as applied to individual Brauer $p$-b...

The spectral Phase-Amplitude representation of a wave function revisited
The phase and amplitude (Ph-A) of a wave function vary slowly and monotonically with distance, in contrast to the wave function that can be highly oscillatory. Hence an attractive feature of the Ph-A representation is that it requires far fewer meshpoints than for the wave function itself. In 1930 Milne developed an eq...
