In this paper, we study nonzero-sum separable games, which are continuous games whose payoffs take a sum-of-products form. Included in this subclass are all finite games and polynomial games. We investigate the structure of equilibria in separable...
Summary: Polymerase chain reaction-based assays are the current gold standard for detecting and diagnosing SARS-CoV-2. However, as SARS-CoV-2 mutates, we need to constantly assess whether existing PCR-based assays will continue to detect all known vi...
Given a simple graph $G$, the graph associahedron $P_G$ is a convex polytope whose facets correspond to the connected induced subgraphs of $G$. Graph associahedra have been studied widely and are found in a broad range of subjects. Recently, S. Choi...
In this note, we show how certain everywhere-regular real rational function solutions of the KP1 equation ("multi-lumps") can be constructed via the polynomial analogs of theta functions from singular rational curves with cusps. We use two methods, o...
The small solar power sail demonstrator "IKAROS" is a Japanese engineering verification spacecraft launched by H-IIA rocket on May 21, 2010 at JAXA Tanegashima Space Center. IKAROS has a huge sail with 20 m in diameter which is made of thin polyimide...
Jones and Boston conjectured that the factorization process for iterates of irreducible quadratic polynomials over finite fields is approximated by a Markov model. In this paper, we find unexpected and intricate behavior for some quadratic polynomial...
Amplification of deterministic disturbances in inertialess shear-driven channel flows of viscoelastic fluids is examined by analyzing the frequency responses from spatio-temporal body forces to the velocity and polymer stress fluctuations. In strongl...

Darwinian evolution can be illustrated as an uphill walk in a landscape, where the surface consists of genotypes, the height coordinates represent fitness, and each step corresponds to a point mutation. Epistasis, roughly defined as the dependence be...

In 2022, Huh-Matherne-Mészáros-St. Dizier showed that normalized Schur polynomials are Lorentzian, thereby yielding their continuous (resp. discrete) log-concavity on the positive orthant (resp. on their support, in type $A$ root directions). A rei...
Fiber-reinforced plastic is a composite made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. A composite is a mixture of two materials, one of which makes the other stronger.
This document contains lecture notes from the Ph.D. course given at Scuola Superiore Meridionale by Daniele Di Pietro in February 2025. The goal of the course is to provide an overview of polytopal methods, focusing on the Hybrid High-Order (HHO) met...
In season five, while struggling with sobriety, she enters a relationship with Akbar Abdul-Ahad. Unbeknownst to her, he is already in a polyamorous relationship
We show how to build an immersion coupling of a two-dimensional Brownian motion $(W_1, W_2)$ along with $\binom{n}{2} + n= \tfrac12n(n+1)$ integrals of the form $\int W_1^iW_2^j \circ dW_2$, where $j=1,\ldots,n$ and $i=0, \ldots, n-j$ for some fixe...
Let ${\mathbb F}$ be an arbitrary field. We consider a commutative, non-associative, $4$-dimensional algebra ${\mathfrak M}$ of the rock, the paper and the scissors with unit over ${\mathbb F}$ and we prove that the image over ${\mathfrak M}$ of ever...
This paper considers three separate matrices associated to graphs and (each dimension of) cell complexes. It relates all the coefficients of their respective characteristic polynomials to the geometric and combinatorial enumeration of three kinds of...
The purpose of this work is to generalize part of the theory behind Faugere's "F5" algorithm. This is one of the fastest known algorithms to compute a Groebner basis of a polynomial ideal I generated by polynomials f_{1},...,f_{m}. A major reason for...
