Department of MathematicsWe study the statistically invariant structures of the nonlinear generalized Langevin equation (GLE) with a power-law memory kernel. For a broad class of memory kernels, including those in the subdiffusive regime, we construct solutions of the GLE using a Gibbsian framework, which does not rely on… read more about this publication »
This study examines Cho & Demmans Epp’s short-form adaptation of Rovai’s well-known Classroom Community Scale (CCS-SF) as a measure of classroom community among introductory undergraduate math and statistics students. A series of statistical analyses were conducted to investigate the validity… read more about this publication »
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Bikermann (PNPB) model, in which the ions and water molecules are treated as different species with non-uniform sizes and valences with interstitial voids, can describe the steric and correlation effects in ionic solution neglected by the Poisson-Nernst-Planck and Poisson-… read more about this publication »
Spectral Barron spaces have received considerable interest recently, as it is the natural function space for approximation theory of two-layer neural networks with a dimension-free convergence rate. In this paper, we study the regularity of solutions to the whole-space static Schrödinger equation… read more about this publication »
Most single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses begin with cell clustering; thus, the clustering accuracy considerably impacts the validity of downstream analyses. In contrast with the abundance of clustering methods, the tools to assess the clustering accuracy are limited. We propose a new… read more about this publication »
For each n, let An= (σij) be an n× n deterministic matrix and let Xn= (Xij) be an n× n random matrix with i.i.d. centered entries of unit variance. In the companion article (Cook et al. in Electron J Probab 23:Paper No. 110, 61, 2018), we considered the empirical spectral distribution μnY of the… read more about this publication »
Intracellular transport processes are essential to the healthy development of many organisms as well as more generally to healthy cellular function. The complex dynamics and interactions between protein molecules and filaments on different time and spatial scales generate many opportunities for… read more about this publication »
We study symmetry breaking in the mean field solutions to the electronic structure problem for the 2 electron hydrogen molecule within the Kohn Sham (KS) local spin density functional theory with Dirac exchange (the XLDA model). This simplified model shows behavior related to that of the (KS) spin… read more about this publication »
Chan, Durrett, and Lanchier introduced a multitype contact process with temporal heterogeneity involving two species competing for space on the d-dimensional integer lattice. Time is divided into two seasons. They proved that there is an open set of the parameters for which both species can coexist… read more about this publication »
Most biochemical reactions in living cells are open systems interacting with environment through chemostats to exchange both energy and materials. At a mesoscopic scale, the number of each species in those biochemical reactions can be modeled by a random time-changed Poisson processes. To… read more about this publication »
As a counterpoint to recent numerical methods for crystal surface evolution, which agree well with microscopic dynamics but suffer from significant stiffness that prevents simulation on fine spatial grids, we develop a new numerical method based on the macroscopic partial differential equation,… read more about this publication »
The main mathematical result in this paper is that change of variables in the ordinary differential equation (ODE) for the competition of two infections in a Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model shows that the fraction of cases due to the new variant satisfies the logistic differential equation… read more about this publication »
For a fixed quadratic polynomial p in n non-commuting variables, and n independent N × N complex Ginibre matrices XN1, ⋯, XNn, we establish the convergence of the empirical measure of the eigenvalues of PN = p(XN1, ⋯, XNn) to the Brown measure of p evaluated at n freely independent circular… read more about this publication »
Histamine is well known for mediating peripheral inflammation; however, this amine is also found in high concentrations in the brain where its roles are much less known. In vivo chemical dynamics are difficult to measure, thus fundamental aspects of histamine's neurochemistry remain undefined. In… read more about this publication »
Current state-of-the art procedures for studying modeled submesoscale oceanographic features have made a strong assumption of independence between features identified at different times. Therefore, all submesoscale eddies identified in a time series were studied in aggregate. Statistics from these… read more about this publication »
Let CbZ denote the group of knots in homology spheres that bound homology balls, modulo smooth concordance in homology cobordisms. Answering a question of Matsumoto, the second author previously showed that the natural map from the smooth knot concordance group C to CbZ is not surjective. Using… read more about this publication »
To audit political district maps for partisan gerrymandering, one may determine a baseline for the expected distribution of partisan outcomes by sampling an ensemble of maps. One approach to sampling is to use redistricting policy as a guide to precisely codify preferences between maps. Such… read more about this publication »
A better understanding of various patterns in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread in different parts of the world is crucial to its prevention and control. Motivated by the previously developed Global Epidemic and Mobility (GLEaM) model, this paper proposes a new stochastic dynamic model… read more about this publication »
Let a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ be given. The square sieve can provide an upper bound for the number of integral $\mathbf{x} \in [-B,B]^n$ such that $f(\mathbf{x})$ is a perfect square. Recently this has been generalized substantially: first to a power sieve, counting $\mathbf{x… read more about this publication »
We consider the stochastically forced Burgers equation with an emphasis on spatially rough driving noise. We show that the law of the process at a fixed time t, conditioned on no explosions, is absolutely continuous with respect to the stochastic heat equation obtained by removing the nonlinearity… read more about this publication »
In this paper, we study the (in)sensitivity of the Khovanov functor to 4-dimensional linking of surfaces. We prove that if (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) are split links, and (Formula presented.) is a cobordism between (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) that is the union… read more about this publication »
The Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) equations and their extensions comprise a commonly utilized set of models for understanding and predicting the course of an epidemic. In practice, it is of substantial interest to estimate the model parameters based on noisy observations early in the… read more about this publication »
