For all practical purposes, the Micali-Vazirani algorithm,
discovered in 1980, is still the most efficient known maximum
matching algorithm (for very dense graphs, slight asymptotic
improvement can be obtained using fast matrix
multiplication)...
A `toy model' for studying the probabilistic distribution of
nodal curves of eigenfunctions of linear operators arises from the
Laplacian on the standard real 2-torus. Here the eigenvalues are
associate to integers m that are sum of two squares...
We study open-closed orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of toric
Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds with respect to Lagrangian branes of
Aganagic-Vafa type. We prove an open mirror theorem which expresses
generating functions of orbifold disk invariants in terms...
We study the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, in one dimension,
with a qudratic term and variable coefficient qubic term. This
equation arises from the asymptotic stability theory of the kink
solution.Our main result is the global existence and...
In this lecture, Owen M.
Fiss, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law and Professorial
Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, examines the state of the
constitutional rules protecting the privacy of telephone
conversations. These rules were first announced...
A general algebraic formalism for the mathematical modeling of
physical systems is sketched. This formalism is sufficiently
general to encompass classical and quantum-mechanical models. It is
then explained in which way quantum theory differs in an...
