On accuracy of approximation of the spectral radius by the Gelfand formula
The famous Gelfand formula $\rho(A)= \limsup_{n\to\infty}\|A^{n}\|^{1/n}$ for the spectral radius of a matrix is of great importance in various mathematical constructions. Unfortunately, the range of applicability of this formula is substantially restricted by a lack of estimates for the rate of convergence of the quan...

Nonmodal amplification of stochastic disturbances in strongly elastic channel flows
Nonmodal amplification of stochastic disturbances in elasticity-dominated channel flows of Oldroyd-B fluids is analyzed in this work. For streamwise-constant flows with high elasticity numbers $\mu$ and finite Weissenberg numbers $We$, we show that the linearized dynamics can be decomposed into slow and fast subsystems...

Quantum Random Access Codes with Shared Randomness
We consider a communication method, where the sender encodes n classical bits into 1 qubit and sends it to the receiver who performs a certain measurement depending on which of the initial bits must be recovered. This procedure is called (n,1,p) quantum random access code (QRAC) where p > 1/2 is its success probability...

Stein's method and stochastic analysis of Rademacher functionals
We compute explicit bounds in the Gaussian approximation of functionals of infinite Rademacher sequences. Our tools involve Stein's method, as well as the use of appropriate discrete Malliavin operators. Although our approach does not require the classical use of exchangeable pairs, we employ a chaos expansion in order...

In Lima et al. 2008 we presented a new method for estimating the redshift distribution, N(z), of a photometric galaxy sample, using photometric observables and weighted sampling from a spectroscopic subsample of the data. In this paper, we extend this method and explore various applications of it, using both simulation...

Searching for Cost Optimized Interstellar Beacons
What would SETI Beacon transmitters be like if built by civilizations with a variety of motivations, but who cared about cost? We studied in a companion paper how, for fixed power density in the far field, we could build a cost-optimum interstellar Beacon system. Here we consider, if someone like us were to produce a B...

Thermal (in)stability of type I collagen fibrils
We measured Young's modulus at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 ^{\circ}$C for a collagen fibril taken from rat's tendon. The hydration change under heating and the damping decrement were measured as well. At physiological temperatures $25-45^{\circ}$C Young's modulus decreases, which can be interpreted as instabili...

Helical Metal Inside a Topological Band Insulator
Topological defects, such as domain walls and vortices, have long fascinated physicists. A novel twist is added in quantum systems like the B-phase of superfluid helium He$_3$, where vortices are associated with low energy excitations in the cores. Similarly, cosmic strings may be tied to propagating fermion modes. Can...

Generic Uniqueness of Area Minimizing Disks for Extreme Curves
We show that for a generic nullhomotopic simple closed curve C in the boundary of a compact, orientable, mean convex 3-manifold M with trivial second homology, there is a unique area minimizing disk D embedded in M where the boundary of D is C. We also show that the same is true for absolutely area minimizing surfaces.

Jump-Diffusions in Hilbert Spaces: Existence, Stability and Numerics

Curvature in the scaling relations of early-type galaxies
We select a sample of about 50,000 early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), calibrate fitting formulae which correct for known problems with photometric reductions of extended objects, apply these corrections, and then measure a number of pairwise scaling relations in the corrected sample. We show ...

On Stepwise Control of the Generalized Familywise Error Rate
A classical approach for dealing with the multiple testing problem is to restrict attention to procedures that control the familywise error rate (FWER), the probability of at least one false rejection. In many applications, one might be willing to tolerate more than one false rejection provided the number of such cases...

Phantom without phantom or how the PT symmetry saves us from the Big Rip
We consider the PT symmetric flat Friedmann model of two scalar fields with positive kinetic terms. While the potential of one ("normal") field is taken real, that of the other field is complex. We study a complex classical solution of the system of the two Klein-Gordon equations together with the Friedmann equation. T...

We construct equilibrium models from a 3-integral composite distribution function that are subject to the bar instability. We generate a sequence of...

To this end we generalize the usual notion of MT2 and define a new MT2(n,p,c) variable, which can be applied to various subsystem topologies, as well as the full event topology. We de...
