Small-scale instabilities in dynamical systems with sliding
We demonstrate with a minimal example that in Filippov systems (dynamical systems governed by discontinuous but piecewise smooth vector fields) stable periodic motion with sliding is not robust with respect to stable singular perturbations. We consider a simple dynamical system that we assume to be a quasi-static appro...

The Expressive Power of Binary Submodular Functions
It has previously been an open problem whether all Boolean submodular functions can be decomposed into a sum of binary submodular functions over a possibly larger set of variables. This problem has been considered within several different contexts in computer science, including computer vision, artificial intelligence,...

Alignment between galaxies and large-scale structure
Based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR6 (SDSS) and Millennium Simulation (MS) we investigate the alignment between galaxies and large-scale structure. For this purpose we develop two new statistical tools, namely the alignment correlation function and the cos(2theta)-statistic. The former is a two-dimensional extensi...

Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light Years from Earth
Fomalhaut is a bright star 7.7 parsecs (25 light years) from Earth that harbors a belt of cold dust with a structure consistent with gravitational sculpting by an orbiting planet. Here, we present optical observations of an exoplanet candidate, Fomalhaut b. In the plane of the belt, Fomalhaut b lies approximately 119 a...

Fast Maximum-Likelihood Decoding of the Golden Code
The golden code is a full-rate full-diversity space-time code for two transmit antennas that has a maximal coding gain. Because each codeword conveys four information symbols from an M-ary quadrature-amplitude modulation alphabet, the complexity of an exhaustive search decoder is proportional to M^2. In this paper we p...

Observational Characteristics and Possible Asphericity of Over-Luminous Type Ia Supernovae
A few Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been suggested to be an explosion of a super-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (WD) to account for their large luminosities, requiring a large amount of 56Ni. However, the candidate over-luminous SNe Ia 2003fg, 2006gz, and (moderately over-luminous) SN 1991T, have very different obse...

Existence and Uniqueness of Strong Solutions for a Compressible Multiphase Navier-Stokes Miscible Fluid-Flow Problem in Dimension n = 1
We prove the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for a compressible multifluid described by the barotropic Navier-Stokes equations in dim = 1. The result holds when the diffusion coefficient depends on the pressure. It relies on a global control in time of the L2 norm of the space derivative of the dens...

The model is simple, adaptable to other debris disks, and can be extended to accommodate multiple planets. If Fom b is the dominant p...

It works with standard FITS format files and it is designed for use with high resolution (R>15000) and high signal-to-noise-ratio (S/N>30) spectra that have been binned on a linear wavelength...

Entanglement detection
How can one prove that a given state is entangled? In this paper we review different methods that have been proposed for entanglement detection. We first explain the basic elements of entanglement theory for two or more particles and then entanglement verification procedures such as Bell inequalities, entanglement witn...

Relaxation and Dephasing in a Two-electron 13C Nanotube Double Quantum Dot
We use charge sensing of Pauli blockade (including spin and isospin) in a two-electron 13C nanotube double quantum dot to measure relaxation and dephasing times. The relaxation time, T1, first decreases with parallel magnetic field then goes through a minimum in a field of 1.4 T. We attribute both results to the spin-o...

Solving linear systems of equations is a common problem that arises both on its own and as a subroutine in more complex problems: given a matrix A and a vector b, find a vector x such that Ax=b. We consider the case where one doesn't need to know the solution x itself, but rather an approximation of the expectation val...

On the mechanisms of heavy-quarkonium hadroproduction
We discuss the various mechanisms potentially at work in hadroproduction of heavy quarkonia in the light of computations of higher-order QCD corrections both in the Colour-Singlet (CS) and Colour-Octet (CO) channels and the inclusion of the contribution arising from the s-channel cut in the CS channel. We also discuss ...

Analytical Framework for Optimizing Weighted Average Download Time in Peer-to-Peer Networks
This paper proposes an analytical framework for peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and introduces schemes for building P2P networks to approach the minimum weighted average download time (WADT). In the considered P2P framework, the server, which has the information of all the download bandwidths and upload bandwidths of the p...

Dark Energy and Modified Gravity
Explanations of the late-time cosmic acceleration within the framework of general relativity are plagued by difficulties. General relativistic models are mostly based on a dark energy field with fine-tuned, unnatural properties. There is a great variety of models, but all share one feature in common -- an inability to ...

Optimal Encoding Schemes for Several Classes of Discrete Degraded Broadcast Channels
Consider a memoryless degraded broadcast channel (DBC) in which the channel output is a single-letter function of the channel input and the channel noise. As examples, for the Gaussian broadcast channel (BC) this single-letter function is regular Euclidian addition and for the binary-symmetric BC this single-letter fun...

Artin automorphisms, Cyclotomic function fields, and Folded list-decodable codes
Algebraic codes that achieve list decoding capacity were recently constructed by a careful ``folding'' of the Reed-Solomon code. The ``low-degree'' nature of this folding operation was crucial to the list decoding algorithm. We show how such folding schemes conducive to list decoding arise out of the Artin-Frobenius au...

A Spectral Algorithm for Learning Hidden Markov Models
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are one of the most fundamental and widely used statistical tools for modeling discrete time series. In general, learning HMMs from data is computationally hard (under cryptographic assumptions), and practitioners typically resort to search heuristics which suffer from the usual local optima...

Energy conditions in f(R) gravity and Brans-Dicke theories
The equivalence between f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theories is invoked to study the null, strong, weak and dominant energy conditions in Brans-Dicke theory. We consider the validity of the energy conditions in Brans-Dicke theory by invoking the energy conditions derived from a generic f(R) theory. The parameters in...

Constraints on nuclear matter parameters of an Effective Chiral Model
Within an effective non-linear chiral model, we evaluate nuclear matter parameters exploiting the uncertainties in the nuclear saturation properties. The model is sternly constrained with minimal free parameters, which display the interlink between nuclear incompressibility ($K$), the nucleon effective mass ($m^{\star}...

Acceleration statistics of finite-sized particles in turbulent flow: the role of Faxen forces
The dynamics of particles in turbulence when the particle-size is larger than the dissipative scale of the carrier flow is studied. Recent experiments have highlighted signatures of particles finiteness on their statistical properties, namely a decrease of their acceleration variance, an increase of correlation times -...

Doppler factors, Lorentz factors and viewing angles for quasars, BL Lacertae objects and radio galaxies

We decomposed the flux curves into exponential flares and determined the variability brightness temperatures of the fastest ...

Restrictions on Transversal Encoded Quantum Gate Sets
Transversal gates play an important role in the theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation due to their simplicity and robustness to noise. By definition, transversal operators do not couple physical subsystems within the same code block. Consequently, such operators do not spread errors within code blocks and are, t...

We consider an overdamped nanoparticle in a driven double-well potential as a generic model of an erasable one-bit memory. We study in detail the statistics of the heat dissipated during an erasure process and show that full erasure may be achieved by dissipating less heat than the Landauer bound. We quantify the occur...

We provide two applications: (i) to a new "second order" characterization of CLTs on a fixed Wiener chaos, ...
