We compute analytically the mean number of common sites, WN(t), visited by N independent random walkers each of length t and all starting at the origin at t=0 in d dimensions. We show that in the (N−d) plane, there are three distinct regimes for the asymptotic large-t growth of WN(t). These three regimes are separated by two critical lines d=2 and d=dc(N)=2N/(N−1) in the (N-d) plane. For d<2, WN(t)∼td/2 for large t (the N dependence is only in the prefactor). For 2<d<dc(N), WN(t)∼tν where the exponent ν=N−d(N−1)/2 varies with N and d. Ford>dc(N), WN(t)→const as t→∞. Exactly at the critical dimensions there are logarithmic corrections: for d=2, we get WN(t)∼t/[lnt]N, while for d=dc(N), WN(t)∼lnt for large t. Our analytical predictions are verified in numerical simulations.

We provide four equivalent combinatorial conditions for a simple assembly graph (rigid vertex graph where all vertices are of degree 1 or 4) to have the largest number of Hamiltonian sets of polygonal paths relative to its size. These conditions serve to prove the conjecture that such a maximum, which is equal to 𝐹_(2𝑛+1) −1, ...

We analytically consider the problem of the Langmuir instability. The instability describes emergence of transverse modulation of horizontal current with vertical shear, when it is superimposed on surface wave co-directional with the flow. Compared to the Craik–Leibovich scheme, we account for the scattering of surface wave on the modulated current, which is significant if the ...

Understanding the properties of two-dimensional material interfaces with the substrate is necessary for device applications. Surface acoustic wave propagation through a layered material flake on a substrate could provide unique information on the transverse rigidity of the flake-to-substrate interaction. Ultrasonic waves were generated by a focused femtosecond laser pulse at the surface of a model ...

In this paper, we construct a weighted Sobolev space of fractional order based on the
generalized Bessel potential.We apply these results to the analysis of the singular fractional Schr¨odinger
equation. To solve the Cauchy problem for this equation, we prove an estimate that relates the norm of
the solution to the norm of the initial condition in the ...

This article demonstrates that the Laplace–Bessel operator generates a strongly continuous
semigroup on a weighted Lebesgue space. Using this semigroup, we define the fractional Laplace–
Bessel operator via Balakrishnan’s formula. Furthermore, we derive three distinct representations for
fractional powers of the negative Laplace–Bessel operator. ...

In this paper, we introduce a new construction of fractional derivatives and integrals
with respect to a function, based on a matrix approach. We believe that this is a powerful
tool in both analytical and numerical calculations.We begin with the differential

operator, we obtain a matrix ...

Financial markets of emerging economies are vulnerable to extreme and cascading information spillovers, surges, sudden stops and reversals. With this in mind, we develop a new online early warning system (EWS) to detect what is referred to as ‘concept drift’ in machine learning, as a ‘regime shift’ in economics and as a ‘change-point’ in statistics. ...

we prove the existence of an isomorphism that is computable using oracles for the regular realizability

We investigate a special ansats that allows for an iterative solution of the constant Yang-Baxter equation. Testing this ansatz, we construct four sequences of the constant R-matrices. In each sequence the R-matrices act on the tensor squares of vector spaces of linearly growing dimensions. Each R-matrix also depends on a single complex parameter.

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known.
