Extraction of the symmetry energy coefficients from the masses differences of isobaric nuclei
The nuclear symmetry energy coefficients of finite nuclei are extracted by using the differences between the masses of isobaric nuclei. Based on the masses of more than 2400 nuclei with $A=9-270$, we investigate the model dependence in the extraction of symmetry energy coefficient. We find that the extraction of the symmetry energy coefficients is strongly correlated with the forms of the Coulomb energy and the mass dependence of the symmetry energy coefficient adopted. The values of the extracted symmetry energy coefficients increase by about 2 MeV for heavy nuclei when the Coulomb correction term is involved. We obtain the bulk symmetry energy coefficient $S_0=28.26\pm1.3$ MeV and the surface-to-volume ratio $\kappa=1.26\pm 0.25 $ MeV if assuming the mass dependence of symmetry energy coefficient $a_{\rm sym}(A)=S_0(1-\kappa/A^{1/3})$, and $S_0=32.80\pm1.7$ MeV, $\kappa=2.82\pm0.57$ MeV when $a_{\rm sym}(A)=S_0 (1+\kappa/A^{1/3})^{-1}$ is adopted.

Continuous and robust clustering coefficients for weighted and directed networks
We introduce new clustering coefficients for weighted networks. They are continuous and robust against edge weight changes. Recently, generalized clustering coefficients for weighted and directed networks have been proposed. These generalizations have a common property, that their values are not continuous. They are sensitive with edge weight changes, especially at zero weight. With these generalizations, if vanishingly low weights of edges are truncated to weight zero for some reason, the coefficient value may change significantly from the original value. It is preferable that small changes of edge weights cause small changes of coefficient value. We call this property the continuity of generalized clustering coefficients. Our new coefficients admit this property. In the past, few studies have focused on the continuity of generalized clustering coefficients. In experiments, we performed comparative assessments of existing and our generalizations. In the case of a real world network dataset (C. Elegans Neural network), after adding random edge weight errors, though the value of one discontinuous generalization was changed about 436%, the value of proposed one was only changed 0.2%.

Fast Computation of the Kinship Coefficients
For families, kinship coefficients are quantifications of the amount of genetic sharing between a pair of individuals. These coefficients are critical for understanding the breeding habits and genetic diversity of diploid populations. Historically, computations of the inbreeding coefficient were used to prohibit inbred marriages and prohibit breeding of some pairs of pedigree animals. Such prohibitions foster genetic diversity and help prevent recessive Mendelian disease at a population level. This paper gives the fastest known algorithms for computing the kinship coefficient of a set of individuals with a known pedigree. The algorithms given here consider the possibility that the founders of the known pedigree may themselves be inbred, and they compute the appropriate inbreeding-adjusted kinship coefficients. The exact kinship algorithm has running-time $O(n^2)$ for an $n$-individual pedigree. The recursive-cut exact kinship algorithm has running time $O(s^2m)$ where $s$ is the number of individuals in the largest segment of the pedigree and $m$ is the number of cuts. The approximate algorithm has running-time $O(n)$ for an $n$-individual pedigree on which to estimate the kinship coefficients of $\sqrt{n}$ individuals from $\sqrt{n}$ founder kinship coefficients.

Modal analysis of the scattering coefficients of an open cavity in a waveguide
The characteristics of an acoustic scatterer are often described by scattering coefficients. The understanding of the mechanisms involved in the frequency dependent features of the coefficients has been a challenge task, owing to the complicated coupling between the waves in open space and the modes inside the finite scatterer. In this paper, a frequency-dependent modal description of the scattering coefficient is utilized to study the modal properties of the scatterer. The important role that eigenmodes play in defining the features of the scattering coefficients is revealed via an expansion of the coefficients by the eigenmodes. The results show the local extrema of the scattering coefficients can be attributed to the constructive/destructive interference of resonant and non-resonant modes. In particular, an approximated equation, which is equivalent to the standard Fano formula, is obtained to describe the sharp anti-symmetric Fano characteristics of the scattering coefficients. The special cases where scattering is dominated by a single resonance eigenmode, corresponding to the "resonance transmission", are also illustrated.

Strictly Hyperbolic Equations with Coefficients Low-Regular in Time and Smooth in Space
We consider the Cauchy problem for strictly hyperbolic $m$-th order partial differential equations with coefficients low-regular in time and smooth in space. It is well-known that the problem is $L^2$ well-posed in the case of Lipschitz continuous coefficients in time, $H^s$ well-posed in the case of Log-Lipschitz continuous coefficients in time (with an, in general, finite loss of derivatives) and Gevrey well-posed in the case of H\"older continuous coefficients in time (with an, in general, infinite loss of derivatives). Here, we use moduli of continuity to describe the regularity of the coefficients with respect to time, weight sequences for the characterization of their regularity with respect to space and weight functions to define the solution spaces. We establish sufficient conditions for the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem, that link the modulus of continuity and the weight sequence of the coefficients to the weight function of the solution space. The well-known results for Lipschitz, Log-Lipschitz and H\"older coefficients are recovered.

Simultaneous determination of the drift and diffusion coefficients in stochastic differential equations
In this work, we consider a one-dimensional It{\^o} diffusion process X t with possibly nonlinear drift and diffusion coefficients. We show that, when the diffusion coefficient is known, the drift coefficient is uniquely determined by an observation of the expectation of the process during a small time interval, and starting from values X 0 in a given subset of R. With the same type of observation, and given the drift coefficient, we also show that the diffusion coefficient is uniquely determined. When both coefficients are unknown, we show that they are simultaneously uniquely determined by the observation of the expectation and variance of the process, during a small time interval, and starting again from values X 0 in a given subset of R. To derive these results, we apply the Feynman-Kac theorem which leads to a linear parabolic equation with unknown coefficients in front of the first and second order terms. We then solve the corresponding inverse problem with PDE technics which are mainly based on the strong parabolic maximum principle.

Optimization of Non Binary Parity Check Coefficients
This paper generalizes the method proposed by Poulliat et al. for the determination of the optimal Galois Field coefficients of a Non-Binary LDPC parity check constraint based on the binary image of the code. Optimal, or almost-optimal, parity check coefficients are given for check degree varying from 4 to 20 and Galois Field varying from GF(64) up to GF(1024). For all given sets of coefficients, no codeword of Hamming weight two exists. A reduced complexity algorithm to compute the binary Hamming weight 3 of a parity check is proposed. When the number of sets of coefficients is too high for an exhaustive search and evaluation, a local greedy search is performed. Explicit tables of coefficients are given. The proposed sets of coefficients can effectively replace the random selection of coefficients often used in NB-LDPC construction.

Properties of interaction networks, structure coefficients, and benefit-to-cost ratios
In structured populations the spatial arrangement of cooperators and defectors on the interaction graph together with the structure of the graph itself determines the game dynamics and particularly whether or not fixation of cooperation (or defection) is favored. For a single cooperator (and a single defector) and a network described by a regular graph the question of fixation can be addressed by a single parameter, the structure coefficient. As this quantity is generic for any regular graph, we may call it the generic structure coefficient. For two and more cooperators (or several defectors) fixation properties can also be assigned by structure coefficients. These structure coefficients, however, depend on the arrangement of cooperators and defectors which we may interpret as a configuration of the game. Moreover, the coefficients are specific for a given interaction network modeled as regular graph, which is why we may call them specific structure coefficients. In this paper, we study how specific structure coefficients vary over interaction graphs and link the distributions obtained over different graphs to spectral properties of interaction networks. We also discuss implications for the benefit-to-cost ratios of donation games.

Large Eddy Simulation of a NACA0015 Circulation Control Airfoil Using Synthetic Jets
Large eddy simulation of a NACA0015 circulation control airfoil using synthetic jets is conducted. A chord Reynolds number of 110000, the excitation frequency of 175 Hz, the momentum coefficients of 0.0044 to 0.0688, and the angles of attack of 0{\deg}, 6{\deg}, and 12{\deg} are employed in this study. The numerical results presented in this paper show good agreement with the experimental results. Fluctuations in the lift and drag coefficients on the non-actuated airfoil are found to be governed by the vortex shedding frequency. Provided that the momentum coefficient is sufficiently high, the lift and drag coefficients tend to fluctuate at the synthetic jet frequency. The mean lift coefficient linearly increases with the momentum coefficient at a low momentum coefficient range and its incremental rate begins to decline at a high momentum coefficient range. Increasing the angle of attack of the airfoil is observed to slightly reduce the slope of the lift increment.

Recursion Relations in Witten Diagrams and Conformal Partial Waves
We revisit the problem of performing conformal block decomposition of exchange Witten diagrams in the crossed channel. Using properties of conformal blocks and Witten diagrams, we discover infinitely many linear relations among the crossed channel decomposition coefficients. These relations allow us to formulate a recursive algorithm that solves the decomposition coefficients in terms of certain seed coefficients. In one dimensional CFTs, the seed coefficient is the decomposition coefficient of the double-trace operator with the lowest conformal dimension. In higher dimensions, the seed coefficients are the coefficients of the double-trace operators with the minimal conformal twist. We also discuss the conformal block decomposition of a generic contact Witten diagram with any number of derivatives. As a byproduct of our analysis, we obtain a similar recursive algorithm for decomposing conformal partial waves in the crossed channel.

Fast Inference in Capsule Networks Using Accumulated Routing Coefficients
We present a method for fast inference in Capsule Networks (CapsNets) by taking advantage of a key insight regarding the routing coefficients that link capsules between adjacent network layers. Since the routing coefficients are responsible for assigning object parts to wholes, and an object whole generally contains similar intra-class and dissimilar inter-class parts, the routing coefficients tend to form a unique signature for each object class. For fast inference, a network is first trained in the usual manner using examples from the training dataset. Afterward, the routing coefficients associated with the training examples are accumulated offline and used to create a set of "master" routing coefficients. During inference, these master routing coefficients are used in place of the dynamically calculated routing coefficients. Our method effectively replaces the for-loop iterations in the dynamic routing procedure with a single matrix multiply operation, providing a significant boost in inference speed. Compared with the dynamic routing procedure, fast inference decreases the test accuracy for the MNIST, Background MNIST, Fashion MNIST, and Rotated MNIST datasets by less than 0.5% and by approximately 5% for CIFAR10.

Frequency-Dependent Perceptual Quantisation for Visually Lossless Compression Applications
The default quantisation algorithms in the state-of-the-art High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, namely Uniform Reconstruction Quantisation (URQ) and Rate-Distortion Optimised Quantisation (RDOQ), do not take into account the perceptual relevance of individual transform coefficients. In this paper, a Frequency-Dependent Perceptual Quantisation (FDPQ) technique for HEVC is proposed. FDPQ exploits the well-established Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) characteristics of the linear transformation basis functions by taking into account the Euclidean distance of an AC transform coefficient from the DC coefficient. As such, in luma and chroma Cb and Cr Transform Blocks (TBs), FDPQ quantises more coarsely the least perceptually relevant transform coefficients (i.e., the high frequency AC coefficients). Conversely, FDPQ preserves the integrity of the DC coefficient and the very low frequency AC coefficients. Compared with RDOQ, which is the most widely used transform coefficient-level quantisation technique in video coding, FDPQ successfully achieves bitrate reductions of up to 41%. Furthermore, the subjective evaluations confirm that the FDPQ-coded video data is perceptually indistinguishable (i.e., visually lossless) from the raw video data for a given Quantisation Parameter (QP).

Frieze patterns with coefficients
Frieze patterns, as introduced by Coxeter in the 1970's, are closely related to cluster algebras without coefficients. A suitable generalization of frieze patterns, linked to cluster algebras with coefficients, has only briefly appeared in an unpublished manuscript by Propp. In this paper we study these frieze patterns with coefficients systematically and prove various fundamental results, generalizing classic results for frieze patterns. As a consequence we see how frieze patterns with coefficients can be obtained from classic frieze patterns by cutting out subpolygons from the triangulated polygons associated to classic Conway-Coxeter frieze patterns. We address the question of which frieze patterns with coefficients can be obtained in this way and solve this problem completely for triangles. Finally, we prove a finiteness result for frieze patterns with coefficients by showing that for a given boundary sequence there are only finitely many (non-zero) frieze patterns with coefficients with entries in a discrete subset of the complex numbers.

Accurate calculation of field expansion coefficients in FEM magnetostatic simulations
FEM simulations are a standard step in the design of accelerator magnets. It is custom for accelerator applications to characterize the field quality in terms of field expansion coefficients. With a commonly accepted approach, expansion coefficients are calculated by means of a Fourier transform of the local FEM solution at points on an arc. The accuracy of the coefficients calculated this way depends strongly on the FEM mesh configuration and simple refinement of the mesh does not always improve accuracy. The accuracy of the expansion coefficients calculation can be improved by using the data on the magnetization of elements in the magnet yoke, obtained in the solution, instead of using directly the local solution. Since currents and the yoke magnetization are the only sources of the field, with these data the field expansion coefficients can be calculated at any remote point. We derive closed forms for calculating expansion coefficients and implemented these results in the ANSYS add-on. Results for a case study are presented, which demonstrate that expansion coefficients can be calculated with good accuracy even for a rather coarse mesh.

Closure coefficients in scale-free complex networks
The formation of triangles in complex networks is an important network property that has received tremendous attention. The formation of triangles is often studied through the clustering coefficient. The closure coefficient or transitivity is another method to measure triadic closure. This statistic measures clustering from the head node of a triangle (instead of from the center node, as in the often studied clustering coefficient). We perform a first exploratory analysis of the behavior of the local closure coefficient in two random graph models that create simple networks with power-law degrees: the hidden-variable model and the hyperbolic random graph. We show that the closure coefficient behaves significantly different in these simple random graph models than in the previously studied multigraph models. We also relate the closure coefficient of high-degree vertices to the clustering coefficient and the average nearest neighbor degree.

Eulerianity of Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms
We study the question of Eulerianity (factorizability) for Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms, and we prove a general transfer theorem that allows one to deduce the Eulerianity of certain coefficients from that of another coefficient. We also establish a `hidden' invariance property of Fourier coefficients. We apply these results to minimal and next-to-minimal automorphic representations, and deduce Eulerianity for a large class of Fourier and Fourier-Jacobi coefficients. In particular, we prove Eulerianity for parabolic Fourier coefficients with characters of maximal rank for a class of Eisenstein series in minimal and next-to-minimal representations of groups of ADE-type that are of interest in string theory.

Geometric Value Iteration: Dynamic Error-Aware KL Regularization for Reinforcement Learning
The recent boom in the literature on entropy-regularized reinforcement learning (RL) approaches reveals that Kullback-Leibler (KL) regularization brings advantages to RL algorithms by canceling out errors under mild assumptions. However, existing analyses focus on fixed regularization with a constant weighting coefficient and do not consider cases where the coefficient is allowed to change dynamically. In this paper, we study the dynamic coefficient scheme and present the first asymptotic error bound. Based on the dynamic coefficient error bound, we propose an effective scheme to tune the coefficient according to the magnitude of error in favor of more robust learning. Complementing this development, we propose a novel algorithm, Geometric Value Iteration (GVI), that features a dynamic error-aware KL coefficient design with the aim of mitigating the impact of errors on performance. Our experiments demonstrate that GVI can effectively exploit the trade-off between learning speed and robustness over uniform averaging of a constant KL coefficient. The combination of GVI and deep networks shows stable learning behavior even in the absence of a target network, where algorithms with a constant KL coefficient would greatly oscillate or even fail to converge.

Existence, uniqueness and approximation of solutions of SDEs with superlinear coefficients in the presence of discontinuities of the drift coefficient
Existence, uniqueness, and $L_p$-approximation results are presented for scalar stochastic differential equations (SDEs) by considering the case where, the drift coefficient has finitely many spatial discontinuities while both coefficients can grow superlinearly (in the space variable). These discontinuities are described by a piecewise local Lipschitz continuity and a piecewise monotone-type condition while the diffusion coefficient is assumed to be locally Lipschitz continuous and non-degenerate at the discontinuity points of the drift coefficient. Moreover, the superlinear nature of the coefficients is dictated by a suitable coercivity condition and a polynomial growth of the (local) Lipschitz constants of the coefficients. Existence and uniqueness of strong solutions of such SDEs are obtained. Furthermore, the classical $L_p$-error rate $1/2$, for a suitable range of values of $p$, is recovered for a tamed Euler scheme which is used for approximating these solutions. To the best of the authors' knowledge, these are the first existence, uniqueness and approximation results for this class of SDEs.

Lattice paths and negatively indexed weight-dependent binomial coefficients
In 1992, Loeb considered a natural extension of the binomial coefficients to negative entries and gave a combinatorial interpretation in terms of hybrid sets. He showed that many of the fundamental properties of binomial coefficients continue to hold in this extended setting. Recently, Formichella and Straub showed that these results can be extended to the $q$-binomial coefficients with arbitrary integer values and extended the work of Loeb further by examining arithmetic properties of the $q$-binomial coefficients. In this paper, we give an alternative combinatorial interpretation in terms of lattice paths and consider an extension of the more general weight-dependent binomial coefficients, first defined by the second author, to arbitrary integer values. Remarkably, many of the results of Loeb, Formichella and Straub continue to hold in the general weighted setting. We also examine important special cases of the weight-dependent binomial coefficients, including ordinary, $q$- and elliptic binomial coefficients as well as elementary and complete homogeneous symmetric functions.

Body Diagonal Diffusion Couple Method for Estimation of Tracer Diffusion Coefficients in a Multi-Principal Element Alloy
The estimation of (n-1)2 interdiffusion coefficients in an n component system requires (n-1) diffusion paths to intersect or pass closely in the (n-1) dimensional space according to the body diagonal diffusion couple method. These interdiffusion coefficients are related to n(n-1) intrinsic (or n tracer diffusion coefficients), which cannot be estimated easily following the Kirkendall marker experiment in a multicomponent system despite their importance for understanding the atomic mechanism of diffusion and the physico-mechanical properties of materials. In this study, the estimation of tracer diffusion coefficients from only two diffusion profiles following the concept of the body diagonal diffusion couple method in a multicomponent system is demonstrated. Subsequently, one can estimate the intrinsic and interdiffusion coefficients. This reduces the overall effort up to a great extent since it needs only two instead of (n-1) diffusion profiles irrespective of the number of components, with an additional benefit of enabling the estimation of all types of diffusion coefficients. The available tracer diffusion coefficients estimated following the radiotracer method are compared to the data estimated in this study following this method. This method can also be extended to the systems in which the radiotracer method is not feasible.

A smile is all you need: Predicting limiting activity coefficients from SMILES with natural language processing
Knowledge of mixtures' phase equilibria is crucial in nature and technical chemistry. Phase equilibria calculations of mixtures require activity coefficients. However, experimental data on activity coefficients is often limited due to high cost of experiments. For an accurate and efficient prediction of activity coefficients, machine learning approaches have been recently developed. However, current machine learning approaches still extrapolate poorly for activity coefficients of unknown molecules. In this work, we introduce the SMILES-to-Properties-Transformer (SPT), a natural language processing network to predict binary limiting activity coefficients from SMILES codes. To overcome the limitations of available experimental data, we initially train our network on a large dataset of synthetic data sampled from COSMO-RS (10 Million data points) and then fine-tune the model on experimental data (20 870 data points). This training strategy enables SPT to accurately predict limiting activity coefficients even for unknown molecules, cutting the mean prediction error in half compared to state-of-the-art models for activity coefficient predictions such as COSMO-RS, UNIFAC, and improving on recent machine learning approaches.

Social Media Engagement and Cryptocurrency Performance
We study the problem of predicting the future performance of cryptocurrencies using social media data. We propose a new model to measure the engagement of users with topics discussed on social media based on interactions with social media posts. This model overcomes the limitations of previous volume and sentiment based approaches. We use this model to estimate engagement coefficients for 48 cryptocurrencies created between 2019 and 2021 using data from Twitter from the first month of the cryptocurrencies' existence. We find that the future returns of the cryptocurrencies are dependent on the engagement coefficients. Cryptocurrencies whose engagement coefficients are too low or too high have lower returns. Low engagement coefficients signal a lack of interest, while high engagement coefficients signal artificial activity which is likely from automated accounts known as bots. We measure the amount of bot posts for the cryptocurrencies and find that generally, cryptocurrencies with more bot posts have lower future returns. While future returns are dependent on both the bot activity and engagement coefficient, the dependence is strongest for the engagement coefficient, especially for short-term returns. We show that simple investment strategies which select cryptocurrencies with engagement coefficients exceeding a fixed threshold perform well for holding times of a few months.

Estimating and computing Kronecker Coefficients: a vector partition function approach
We study the Kronecker coefficients $g_{\lambda, \mu, \nu}$ via a formula that was described by Mishna, Rosas, and Sundaram, in which the coefficients are expressed as a signed sum of vector partition function evaluations. In particular, we use this formula to determine formulas to evaluate, bound, and estimate $g_{\lambda, \mu, \nu}$ in terms of the lengths of the partitions $\lambda, \mu$, and $\nu$. We describe a computational tool to compute Kronecker coefficients $g_{\lambda, \mu, \nu}$ with $\ell(\mu) \leq 2,\ \ell(\nu) \leq 4,\ \ell(\lambda) \leq 8$. We present a set of new vanishing conditions for the Kronecker coefficients by relating to the vanishing of the related atomic Kronecker coefficients, themselves given by a single vector partition function evaluation. We give a stable face of the Kronecker polyhedron for any positive integers $m,n$. Finally, we give upper bounds on both the atomic Kronecker coefficients and Kronecker coefficients.

Robust High-Dimensional Time-Varying Coefficient Estimation
In this paper, we develop a novel high-dimensional coefficient estimation procedure based on high-frequency data. Unlike usual high-dimensional regression procedure such as LASSO, we additionally handle the heavy-tailedness of high-frequency observations as well as time variations of coefficient processes. Specifically, we employ Huber loss and truncation scheme to handle heavy-tailed observations, while $\ell_{1}$-regularization is adopted to overcome the curse of dimensionality. To account for the time-varying coefficient, we estimate local coefficients which are biased due to the $\ell_{1}$-regularization. Thus, when estimating integrated coefficients, we propose a debiasing scheme to enjoy the law of large number property and employ a thresholding scheme to further accommodate the sparsity of the coefficients. We call this Robust thrEsholding Debiased LASSO (RED-LASSO) estimator. We show that the RED-LASSO estimator can achieve a near-optimal convergence rate. In the empirical study, we apply the RED-LASSO procedure to the high-dimensional integrated coefficient estimation using high-frequency trading data.

Introducing q-deformed binomial coefficients of words
Gaussian binomial coefficients are q-analogues of the binomial coefficients of integers. On the other hand, binomial coefficients have been extended to finite words, i.e., elements of the finitely generated free monoids. In this paper we bring together these two notions by introducing q-analogues of binomial coefficients of words. We study their basic properties, e.g., by extending classical formulas such as the q-Vandermonde and Manvel's et al. identities to our setting. As a consequence, we get information about the structure of the considered words: these q-deformations of binomial coefficients of words contain much richer information than the original coefficients. From an algebraic perspective, we introduce a q-shuffle and a family q-infiltration products for non-commutative formal power series. Finally, we apply our results to generalize a theorem of Eilenberg characterizing so-called p-group languages. We show that a language is of this type if and only if it is a Boolean combination of specific languages defined through q-binomial coefficients seen as polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_p$.

Reproducing the Acoustic Velocity Vectors in a Circular Listening Area
Acoustic velocity vectors are important for human's localization of sound at low frequencies. This paper proposes a sound field reproduction algorithm, which matches the acoustic velocity vectors in a circular listening area. In previous work, acoustic velocity vectors are matched either at sweet spots or on the boundary of the listening area. Sweet spots restrict listener's movement, whereas measuring the acoustic velocity vectors on the boundary requires complicated measurement setup. This paper proposes the cylindrical harmonic coefficients of the acoustic velocity vectors in a circular area (CHV coefficients), which are calculated from the cylindrical harmonic coefficients of the global pressure (global CHP coefficients) by using the sound field translation formula. The global CHP coefficients can be measured by a circular microphone array, which can be bought off-the-shelf. By matching the CHV coefficients, the acoustic velocity vectors are reproduced throughout the listening area. Hence, listener's movements are allowed. Simulations show that at low frequency, where the acoustic velocity vectors are the dominant factor for localization, the proposed reproduction method based on the CHV coefficients results in higher accuracy in reproduced acoustic velocity vectors when compared with traditional method based on the global CHP coefficients.

Chaotic Scattering Theory of Transport and Reaction-Rate Coefficients
The chaotic scattering theory is here extended to obtain escape-rate expressions for the transport coefficients appropriate for a simple classical fluid, or for a chemically reacting system. This theory allows various transport coefficients such as the coefficients of viscosity, thermal conductivity, etc., to be expressed in terms of the positive Lyapunov exponents and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of a set of phase space trajectories that take place on an appropriate fractal repeller. This work generalizes the previous results of Gaspard and Nicolis for the coefficient of diffusion of a particle moving in a fixed array of scatterers.

Transport Coefficients of InSb in a Strong Magnetic Field
Improvement of a superconducting magnet system makes induction of a strong magnetic field easier. This fact gives us a possibility of energy conversion by the Nernst effect. As the first step to study the Nernst element, we measured the conductivity, the Hall coefficient, the thermoelectric power and the Nernst coefficient of the InSb, which is one of candidates of the Nernst elements. From this experiment, it is concluded that the Nernst coefficient is smaller than the theoretical values. On the other hand, the conductivity, the Hall coefficient ant the thermoelectric power has the values expected by the theory.

Methods of calculation of a friction coefficient: Application to the nanotubes
In this work we develop theoretical and numerical methods of calculation of a dynamic friction coefficient. The theoretical method is based on an adiabatic approximation which allows us to express the dynamic friction coefficient in terms of the time integral of the autocorrelation function of the force between both sliding objects. The motion of the objects and the autocorrelation function can be numerically calculated by molecular-dynamics simulations. We have successfully applied these methods to the evaluation of the dynamic friction coefficient of the relative motion of two concentric carbon nanotubes. The dynamic friction coefficient is shown to increase with the temperature.

Ninth and Tenth Order Virial Coefficients for Hard Spheres in D Dimensions
We evaluate the virial coefficients B_k for k<=10 for hard spheres in dimensions D=2,...,8. Virial coefficients with k even are found to be negative when D>=5. This provides strong evidence that the leading singularity for the virial series lies away from the positive real axis when D>=5. Further analysis provides evidence that negative virial coefficients will be seen for some k>10 for D=4, and there is a distinct possibility that negative virial coefficients will also eventually occur for D=3.

Demonstration of electron filtering to increase the Seebeck coefficient in ErAs:InGaAs/InGaAlAs superlattices
In this letter, we explore electron filtering as a technique to increase Seebeck coefficient and the thermoelectric power factor of heterostructured materials over that of the bulk. We present a theoretical model in which Seebeck coefficient and the power factor can be increased in an InGaAs based composite material. Experimental measurements of the cross-plane Seebeck coefficient are presented and confirm the importance of the electron filtering technique to decouple the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient to increase the thermoelectric power factor.

One-loop calculation of mass dependent ${\cal O}(a)$ improvement coefficients for the relativistic heavy quarks on the lattice
We carry out the one-loop calculation of mass dependent ${\cal O}(a)$ improvement coefficients in the relativistic heavy quark action recently proposed, employing the ordinary perturbation theory with the fictitious gluon mass as an infrared regulator. We also determine renormalization factors and improvement coefficients for the axial-vector current at the one-loop level. It is shown that the improvement coefficients are infrared finite at the one-loop level if and only if the improvement coefficients in the action are properly tuned at the tree level.

Dissipation coefficients for supersymmetric inflatonary models
Dissipative effects can lead to a friction term in the equation of motion for an inflaton field during the inflationary era. The friction term may be linear and localised, in which case it is described by a dissipation coefficient. The dissipation coefficient is calculated here in a supersymmetric model with a two stage decay process in which the inflaton decays into a thermal gas of light particles through a heavy intermediate. At low temperatures, the dissipation coefficient $\propto T^3$ in a thermal approximation. Results are also given for a non-equilibrium anzatz. The dissipation coefficient is consistent with a warm inflationary regime for moderate ($\sim 0.1$) values of the coupling constants.

Multiple reflection expansion and heat kernel coefficients
We propose the multiple reflection expansion as a tool for the calculation of heat kernel coefficients. As an example, we give the coefficients for a sphere as a finite sum over reflections, obtaining as a byproduct a relation between the coefficients for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Further, we calculate the heat kernel coefficients for the most general matching conditions on the surface of a sphere, including those cases corresponding to the presence of delta and delta prime background potentials. In the latter case, the multiple reflection expansion is shown to be non-convergent.

Twistor Space Structure of the Box Coefficients of N=1 One-loop Amplitudes
We examine the coefficients of the box functions in N=1 supersymmetric one-loop amplitudes. We present the box coefficients for all six point N=1 amplitudes and certain all $n$ example coefficients. We find for ``next-to MHV'' amplitudes that these box coefficients have coplanar support in twistor space.

Periodicity properties of coefficients of half integral weight modular forms
In this paper we prove a theorem about the coefficients in a block of a half integral weight modular form. We show that the result of Serre and Stark for weight 1/2 forms does not generalize to higher higher weights. Let f be a half integral weight cusp form of weight at leat 3/2. We consider blocks of coefficients of f and prove that, under some weak assumptions on f, if such a coefficient block is periodic when considered as a function of in the square root of its index, then it must vanish completely. The proof is analytic in nature and uses Shimura's lifting theorem together with estimates on the order of growth of Fourier coefficients of modular forms.

An arithmetic formula for certain coefficients of the Euler product of Hecke polynomials
In 1997 the author found a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function, involving the nonnegativity of certain coefficients associated with the Riemann zeta function. In 1999 Bombieri and Lagarias obtained an arithmetic formula for these coefficients using the ``explicit formula'' of prime number theory. In this paper, the author obtains an arithmetic formula for corresponding coefficients associated with the Euler product of Hecke polynomials, which is essentially a product of L-functions attached to weight 2 cusp forms (both newforms and oldforms) over Hecke congruence subgroups. The nonnegativity of these coefficients gives a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for all these L-functions at once.

A probabilistic approach to $q$-polynomial coefficients, Euler and Stirling numbers
It is known that Bernoulli scheme of independent trials with two outcomes is connected with the binomial coefficients. The aim of this paper is to indicate stochastic processes which are connected with the $q$-polynomial coefficients (in particular, with the $q$-binomial coefficients, or the Gaussian polynomials), Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind, and Euler numbers in a natural way. A probabilistic approach allows us to give very simple proofs of some identities for these coefficients.

Apparent Singularities of Linear Difference Equations with Polynomial Coefficients
Let L be a linear difference operator with polynomial coefficients. We consider singularities of L that correspond to roots of the trailing (resp. leading) coefficient of L. We prove that one can effectively construct a left multiple with polynomial coefficients L' of L such that every singularity of L' is a singularity of L that is not apparent. As a consequence, if all singularities of L are apparent, then L has a left multiple whose trailing and leading coefficients equal 1.

Coefficients for the Farrell-Jones Conjecture
We introduce the Farrell-Jones Conjecture with coefficients in an additive category with G-action. This is a variant of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture about the algebraic K- or L-Theory of a group ring RG. It allows to treat twisted group rings and crossed product rings. The conjecture with coefficients is stronger than the original conjecture but it has better inheritance properties. Since known proofs using controlled algebra carry over to the set-up with coefficients we obtain new results about the original Farrell-Jones Conjecture. The conjecture with coefficients implies the fibered version of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture.

Symmetry properties of SU3 vector coupling coefficients
A presentation of the problem of calculating the vector coupling coefficients for $SU3 \supset SU2 \otimes U1$ is made, in the spirit of traditional treatments of SU2 coupling. The coefficients are defined as the overlap matrix element between product states and a coupled state with good SU3 quantum numbers. A technique for resolution of the outer degeneracy problem, based upon actions of the infinitesimal generators of SU3 is developed, which automatically produces vector coupling coefficients with symmetries under exchange of state labels which parallel the familiar symmetries of the SU2 case. An algorithm for efficient computation of these coefficients is outlined, for which an ANSI C code is available.

Symmetry energy coefficients for asymmetric nuclear matter
Symmetry energy coefficients of asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated as the inverse of nuclear matter polarizabilities with two different approaches. Firstly a general calculation shows they may depend on the neutron-proton asymmetry itself. The choice of particular prescriptions for the density fluctuations lead to certain isospin (n-p asymmetry) dependences of the polarizabilities. Secondly, with Skyrme type interactions, the static limit of the dynamical polarizability is investigated corresponding to the inverse symmetry energy coefficient which assumes different values at different asymmetries (and densities and temperatures). The symmetry energy coefficient (in the isovector channel) is found to increase as n-p asymmetries increase. The spin symmetry energy coefficient is also briefly investigated.

Accurate relativistic many-body calculations of van der Waals coefficients C_8 and C_10 for alkali-metal dimers
We consider long-range interactions between two alkali-metal atoms in their respective ground states. We extend the previous relativistic many-body calculations of C_6 dispersion coefficients [Phys.Rev. Lett. {\bf 82}, 3589 (1999)] to higher-multipole coefficients C_8 and C_10. A special attention is paid to usually omitted contribution of core-excited states. We calculate this contribution within relativistic random-phase approximation and demonstrate that for heavy atoms core excitations contribute as much as 10% to the dispersion coefficients. We tabulate results for both homonuclear and heteronuclear dimers and estimate theoretical uncertainties. The estimated uncertainties for C_8 coefficients range from 0.5% for Li_2 to 4% for Cs_2.

Materials with a desired refraction coefficient can be made by embedding small particles
A method is proposed to create materials with a desired refraction coefficient, possibly negative one. The method consists of embedding into a given material small particles. Given $n_0(x)$, the refraction coefficient of the original material in a bounded domain $D \subset \R^3$, and a desired refraction coefficient $n(x)$, one calculates the number $N(x)$ of small particles, to be embedded in $D$ around a point $x \in D$ per unit volume of $D$, in order that the resulting new material has refraction coefficient $n(x)$.

On numerical averaging of the conductivity coefficient using two-scale extensions
In this article we compare solutions to elliptic problems having rapidly oscillated conductivity (permeability, etc) coefficient with solutions to corresponding homogenized problems obtained from two-scale extensions of the initial coefficient. The comparison is done numerically on several one and two dimensional test problems with randomly generated coefficients for different intensities of oscillation. The dependency of the approximation error on the size of averaging is investigated.

Here we inform that a join combinatorial interpretation was found \cite{4} for all binomial-type coefficient - Fibonomial coefficients included.

Elliptic and parabolic second-order PDEs with growing coefficients
We consider a second-order parabolic equation in $\bR^{d+1}$ with possibly unbounded lower order coefficients. All coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time variable and locally H\"older continuous in the space variables. We show that global Schauder estimates hold even in this case. The proof introduces a new localization procedure. Our results show that the constant appearing in the classical Schauder estimates is in fact independent of the $L_{\infty}$-norms of the lower order coefficients. We also give a proof of uniqueness which is of independent interest even in the case of bounded coefficients.

Neighboring ternary cyclotomic coefficients differ by at most one
A cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd prime factors. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Eli Leher showed in 2007 that neighboring ternary cyclotomic coefficients differ by at most four. We show that, in fact, they differ by at most one. Consequently, the set of coefficients occurring in a ternary cyclotomic polynomial consists of consecutive integers. As an application we reprove in a simpler way a result of Bachman from 2004 on ternary cyclotomic polynomials with an optimally large set of coefficients.

Creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient
A method is given for creating material with a desired refraction coefficient. The method consists of embedding into a material with known refraction coefficient many small particles of size $a$. The number of particles per unit volume around any point is prescribed, the distance between neighboring particles is $O(a^{\frac{2-\kappa}{3}})$ as $a\to 0$, $0<\kappa<1$ is a fixed parameter. The total number of the embedded particle is $O(a^{\kappa-2})$. The physical properties of the particles are described by the boundary impedance $\zeta_m$ of the $m-th$ particle, $\zeta_m=O(a^{-\kappa})$ as $a\to 0$. The refraction coefficient is the coefficient $n^2(x)$ in the wave equation $[\nabla^2+k^2n^2(x)]u=0$.

The K-level crossings of a random algebraic polynomial with dependent coefficients
For a random polynomial with standard normal coefficients, two cases of the K-level crossings have been considered by Farahmand. When the coefficients are independent, Farahmand was able to derive an asymptotic value for the expected number of level crossings, even if K is allowed to grow to infinity. Alternatively, it was shown that when the coefficients have a constant covariance, the expected number of level crossings is reduced by half. In this paper we are interested in studying the behavior for dependent standard normal coefficients where the covariance is decaying and no longer constant. Using techniques similar to those of Farahmand, we will be able to show that for a wide range of covariance functions behavior similar to the independent case can be expected.

Motivic decompositions of projective homogeneous varieties and change of coefficients
We prove that under some assumptions on an algebraic group $G$, indecomposable direct summands of the motive of a projective $G$-homogeneous variety with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_p$ remain indecomposable if the ring of coefficients is any field of characteristic $p$. In particular for any projective $G$-homogeneous variety $X$, the decomposition of the motive of $X$ in a direct sum of indecomposable motives with coefficients in any finite field of characteristic $p$ corresponds to the decomposition of the motive of $X$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_p$. We also construct a counterexample to this result in the case where $G$ is arbitrary.

Non-vanishing of Taylor coefficients and Poincaré series
We prove recursive formulas for the Taylor coefficients of cusp forms, such as Ramanujan's Delta function, at points in the upper half-plane. This allows us to show the non-vanishing of all Taylor coefficients of Delta at CM points of small discriminant as well as the non-vanishing of certain Poincar\'e series. At a "generic" point all Taylor coefficients are shown to be non-zero. Some conjectures on the Taylor coefficients of Delta at CM points are stated.

Evidence of electron fractionalization in the Hall coefficient at Mott criticality
Hall coefficient implies the mechanism for reconstruction of a Fermi surface, distinguishing competing scenarios for Mott criticality such as electron fractionalization, dynamical mean-field theory, and metal-insulator transition driven by symmetry breaking. We find that electron fractionalization leaves a signature for the Hall coefficient at Mott criticality in two dimensions, a unique feature differentiated from other theories. We evaluate the Hall coefficient based on the quantum Boltzman equation approach, guaranteeing gauge invariance in both longitudinal and transverse transport coefficients.

A new and efficient method for the computation of Legendre coefficients
An efficient procedure for the computation of the coefficients of Legendre expansions is here presented. We prove that the Legendre coefficients associated with a function f(x) can be represented as the Fourier coefficients of an Abel-type transform of f(x). The computation of N Legendre coefficients can then be performed in O(N log N) operations with a single Fast Fourier Transform of the Abel-type transform of f(x).

The expansion in ultraspherical polynomials: a simple procedure for the fast computation of the ultraspherical coefficients
We present a simple and fast algorithm for the computation of the coefficients of the expansion of a function f(cos u) in ultraspherical (Gegenbauer) polynomials. We prove that these coefficients coincide with the Fourier coefficients of an Abel-type transform of the function f(cos u). This allows us to fully exploit the computational efficiency of the Fast Fourier Transform, computing the first N ultraspherical coefficients in just O (N log_2 N) operations.

OPE coefficient functions in terms of composite operators only. Singlet case
A method for calculating coefficient functions of the operator product expansion, which was previously derived for the non-singlet case, is generalized for the singlet coefficient functions. The resulting formula defines coefficient functions entirely in terms of corresponding singlet composite operators without applying to elementary (quark and gluon) fields. Both "diagonal" and "non-diagonal" gluon coefficient functions in the product expansion of two electromagnetic currents are calculated in QCD. Their renormalization properties are studied.

Self-diffusion in granular gases: An impact of particles' roughness
An impact of particles' roughness on the self-diffusion coefficient in granular gases is investigated. For a simplified collision model where the normal and tangential restitution coefficients are assumed to be constant we develop an analytical theory for the diffusion coefficient, which takes into account non-Maxwellain form of the velocity-angular velocity distribution function. We perform molecular dynamics simulations for a gas in a homogeneous cooling state and study the dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient on restitution coefficients. Our theoretical results are in a good agreement with the simulation data.

Constraints on the second order transport coefficients of an uncharged fluid
In this note we have tried to determine how the existence of a local entropy current with non-negative divergence constrains the second order transport coefficients of an uncharged fluid, following the procedure described in \cite{Romatschke:2009kr}. Just on symmetry ground the stress tensor of an uncharged fluid can have 15 transport coefficients at second order in derivative expansion. The condition of entropy-increase gives five relations among these 15 coefficients. So finally the relativistic stress tensor of an uncharged fluid can have 10 independent transport coefficients at second order.

Fourier coefficients of three-dimensional vector-valued modular forms
A thorough analysis is made of the Fourier coefficients for vector-valued modular forms associated to three-dimensional irreducible representations of the modular group. In particular, the following statement is verified for all but a finite number of equivalence classes: if a vector-valued modular form associated to such a representation has rational Fourier coefficients, then these coefficients have "unbounded denominators", i.e. there is a prime number p, depending on the representation, which occurs to an arbitrarily high power in the denominators of the coefficients. This provides a verification in the three-dimensional setting of a generalization of a long-standing conjecture about noncongruence modular forms.

Exact Recovery of Sparsely-Used Dictionaries
We consider the problem of learning sparsely used dictionaries with an arbitrary square dictionary and a random, sparse coefficient matrix. We prove that $O (n \log n)$ samples are sufficient to uniquely determine the coefficient matrix. Based on this proof, we design a polynomial-time algorithm, called Exact Recovery of Sparsely-Used Dictionaries (ER-SpUD), and prove that it probably recovers the dictionary and coefficient matrix when the coefficient matrix is sufficiently sparse. Simulation results show that ER-SpUD reveals the true dictionary as well as the coefficients with probability higher than many state-of-the-art algorithms.

On extrapolation of virial coefficients of hard spheres
Several methods of extrapolating the virial coefficients, including those proposed in this work, are discussed. The methods are demonstrated on predicting higher virial coefficients of one-component hard spheres. Estimated values of the eleventh to fifteenth virial coefficients are suggested. It has been speculated that the virial coefficients, B_n, beyond B_{14} may decrease with increasing n, and may reach negative values at large n. The extrapolation techniques may be utilized in other fields of science where the art of extrapolation plays a role.

Fermion observables for Lorentz violation
The relationship between experimental observables for Lorentz violation in the fermion sector and the coefficients for Lorentz violation appearing in the lagrangian density is investigated in the minimal Standard-Model Extension. The definitions of the 44 fermion-sector observables, called the tilde coefficients, are shown to have a block structure. The c coefficients decouple from all the others, have six subspaces of dimension 1, and one of dimension 3. The remaining tilde coefficients form eight blocks, one of dimension 6, one of dimension 2, three of dimension 5, and three of dimension 4. By inverting these definitions, thirteen limits on the electron-sector tilde coefficients are deduced.

Dispersion for 1-d Scrodinger and wave equation with BV coefficients
In this paper we analyze the dispersion for one dimensional wave and Schrodinger equations with BV coefficients. In the case of the wave equation we give a complete answer in terms of the variation of the logarithm of the coefficient showing that dispersion occurs if this variation is small enough but it may fail when the variation goes beyond a sharp threshold. For the Schrodigner equation we prove that the dispersion holds under the same smallness assumption on the variation of the coefficient. But, whether dispersion may fail for larger coefficients is unknown for the Schrodinger equation.

q-Catalan bases and their dual coefficients
We define q-Catalan bases which are a generalization of the q-polynomials z^n(z,q)_n. The determination of their dual bases involves some q-power series termed dual coefficients. We show how these dual coefficients occur in the solution of some equations with q-commuting coefficients and solve an abstract q-Segner recursion. We study the connection between this theory and Garsia's (1981). The overall flavor of this work is to show how some properties of q-Catalan numbers are in fact instances of much more general results on dual coefficients.

A methodology is developed for an accurate evaluation of the van der Waals coefficients of dimers involving excited state atoms with strong decay channel to the ground state. This method is used for evaluation of the long range interaction coefficients of particular experimental interest, including the C_6 coefficients for the Yb-Yb ^1S_0+^3P_{0,1} and ^3P_0+^3P_0 dimers and C_8 coefficients for the ^1S_0+^1S_0 and ^1S_0+^3P_1 dimers.

The distribution of zeros for polynomials with integer coefficients plays an important role in all of these problems.

How to Extend Karolyi and Nagy's BRILLIANT Proof of the Zeilberger-Bressoud q-Dyson Theorem in order to Evaluate ANY Coefficient of the q-Dyson Product
We show how to extend the Karolyi-Nagy beautiful proof of the Zeilberger-Bressoud q-Dyson theorem, (first proved by Zeilberger and Bressoud in 1985, and originally conjectured by George Andrews in 1975), that states that the constant term of a certain Laurent polynomial equals the q-multinomial coefficient, how to evaluate any other specific coefficient. The algorithm implies that any such coefficient is always a certain rational function (that the algorithm finds) times the q-multinomial coefficient.

A model for generating tunable clustering coefficients independent of the number of nodes in scale free and random networks
Probabilistic networks display a wide range of high average clustering coefficients independent of the number of nodes in the network. In particular, the local clustering coefficient decreases with the degree of the subtending node in a complicated manner not explained by any current models. While a number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain some of these observed properties, there are no solvable models that explain them all. We propose a novel growth model for both random and scale free networks that is capable of predicting both tunable clustering coefficients independent of the network size, and the inverse relationship between the local clustering coefficient and node degree observed in most networks.

Elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients in weighted Sobolev spaces
We consider both divergence and non-divergence parabolic equations on a half space in weighted Sobolev spaces. All the leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in the time and one spatial variable except one coefficient, which is assumed to be only measurable either in the time or the spatial variable. As functions of the other variables the coefficients have small bounded mean oscillation (BMO) semi-norms. The lower-order coefficients are allowed to blow up near the boundary with a certain optimal growth condition. As a corollary, we also obtain the corresponding results for elliptic equations.

Bounds on the Kronecker coefficients

We prove $k$-stability of the Kronecker coefficients generalizing the (usual) stability, and giving a new upper bound. We prove a lower bound via the characters of $S_n$. We apply these and other results to generalize Sylvester's unimodality of the $q$-binomial coefficients $\binom{n}{k}_q$ as polynomials in $q$: we derive explicit sharp bounds on the differences of their consecutive coefficients.

A product formula for certain Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for Jack and Macdonald polynomials
Jack polynomials generalize several classical families of symmetric polynomials, including Schur polynomials, and are further generalized by Macdonald polynomials. In 1989, Richard Stanley conjectured that if the Littlewood-Richardson coefficient for a triple of Schur polynomials is 1, then the corresponding coefficient for Jack polynomials can be expressed as a product of weighted hooks of the Young diagrams associated to the partitions indexing the coefficient. We prove a special case of this conjecture in which the partitions indexing the Littlewood-Richardson coefficient have at most 3 parts. We also show that this result extends to Macdonald polynomials.

We call these new polynomials over Gaussian polynomials or over $q$-binomial coefficients. We investigate basic properties and applications of over $q$-binomial coefficients. In particular, via the recurrences and combinatorial interpretations of over q-binomial coefficients, we prove a Rogers-Ramaujan type partition theorem.

Re-visiting the Distance Coefficient in Gravity Model
This paper revisits the classic gravity model in international trade and reexamines the distance coefficient. As pointed out by Frankel (1997), this coefficient measures the relative unit transportation cost between short distance and long distance rather than the absolute level of average transportation cost. Our results confirm this point in the sense that the coefficient has been very stable between 1991-2006, despite the obvious technological progress taken place during this period. Moreover, by comparing the sensitivity of these coefficients to change in oil prices at short periods of time, in which technology remained unchanged, we conclude that the average technology has indeed reduced the average trading cost. The results are robust when we divide the aggregate international trades into different industries.

Combinatorics on a family of reduced Kronecker coefficients
The reduced Kronecker coefficients are particular instances of Kronecker coefficients that contain enough information to recover them. In this notes we compute the generating function of a family of reduced Kronecker coefficients. We also gives its connection to the plane partitions, which allows us to check that this family satisfies the saturation conjecture for reduced Kronecker coefficients, and that they are weakly increasing. Thanks to its generating function we can describe our family by a quasipolynomial, specifying its degree and period.

Non-vanishing and sign changes of Hecke eigenvalues for half-integral weight cusp forms
In this paper, we consider three problems about signs of the Fourier coefficients of a cusp form $\mathfrak{f}$ with half-integral weight:\begin{itemize}\item[--]The first negative coefficient of the sequence $\{\mathfrak{a}\_{\mathfrak{f}}(tn^2)\}\_{n\in \N}$,\item[--]The number of coefficients $\mathfrak{a}\_{\mathfrak{f}}(tn^2)$ of same signs,\item[--]Non-vanishing of coefficients $\mathfrak{a}\_{\mathfrak{f}}(tn^2)$ in short intervals and in arithmetic progressions,\end{itemize}where $\mathfrak{a}\_{\mathfrak{f}}(n)$ is the $n$-th Fourier coefficient of $\mathfrak{f}$ and $t$ is a square-free integersuch that $\mathfrak{a}\_{\mathfrak{f}}(t)\not=0$.
