Experimental realization of a thermal squeezed state of levitated optomechanics (2016)
Journal Article

We experimentally squeeze the thermal motional state of an optically levitated nanosphere by fast switching between two trapping frequencies. The measured phase-space distribution of the center of mass of our particle shows the typical shape of a squ...

Detecting rotational superradiance in fluid laboratories (2016)
Journal Article

Rotational superradiance was predicted theoretically decades ago, and is chiefly responsible for a number of important effects and phenomenology in black-hole physics. However, rotational superradiance has never been observed experimentally. Here, wi... Read More about Detecting rotational superradiance in fluid laboratories.

Dynamical scalar hair formation around a Schwarzschild black hole (2016)
Journal Article

Scalar fields coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant evade the known no-hair theorems and have nontrivial configurations around black holes. We focus on a scalar field that couples linearly to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and hence exhibits shift symmet... Read More about Dynamical scalar hair formation around a Schwarzschild black hole.

An energy-stable time-integrator for phase-field models (2016)
Journal Article

We introduce a provably energy-stable time-integration method for general classes of phase-field models with polynomial potentials. We demonstrate how Taylor series expansions of the nonlinear terms present in the partial differential equations of th... Read More about An energy-stable time-integrator for phase-field models.

Analysis of a hysteresis-controlled self-oscillating class-D amplifier (2016)
Journal Article

This paper gives the first systematic perturbation analysis of the audio distortion and mean switching period for a self-oscillating class-D amplifier. Explicit expressions are given for all the principal components of audio distortion, for a general... Read More about Analysis of a hysteresis-controlled self-oscillating class-D amplifier.

Regularized inner products and errors of modularity (2016)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2016. We develop a regularization for Petersson inner products of arbitrary weakly holomorphic modular forms, generalizing several known regularizations. As one application, we extend work of Duke, Imamoglu, and Toth on regularized in... Read More about Regularized inner products and errors of modularity.

Effect of possible rotor deformation on the probability of face contact for a liquid film bearing (2016)
Journal Article

The possibility of face contact is examined for a coaxial rotor-stator bearing in dynamic motion constrained by a highly rotating very thin liquid film. A modified Reynolds equation for pressurised flow is coupled to the bearing structure leading to...

Propagating wave correlations in complex systems (2016)
Journal Article

We describe a novel approach for computing wave correlation functions inside finite spatial domains driven by complex and statistical sources. By exploiting semiclassical approximations, we provide explicit algorithms to calculate the local mean of t... Read More about Propagating wave correlations in complex systems.

The emergence of waves in random discrete systems (2016)
Journal Article

Essential criteria for the emergence of wave-like manifestations occurring in an entirely discrete system are identified using a simple model for the movement of particles through a network. The dynamics are entirely stochastic and memoryless involvi... Read More about The emergence of waves in random discrete systems.

The impact of electrode resistance on the biogalvanic characterisation technique (2016)
Journal Article

Measurement of a tissue-specific electrical resistance may offer a discriminatory metric for evaluation of tissue health during cancer surgery. With a move toward minimally-invasive procedures, applicable contact sensing modalities must be scalable,...

Stationary waves on nonlinear quantum graphs. II. Application of canonical perturbation theory in basic graph structures (2016)
Journal Article

We consider exact and asymptotic solutions of the stationary cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on metric graphs. We focus on some basic example graphs. The asymptotic solutions are obtained using the canonical perturbation formalism developed in o... Read More about Stationary waves on nonlinear quantum graphs. II. Application of canonical perturbation theory in basic graph structures.

Adaptivity and Blow-Up Detection for Nonlinear Evolution Problems (2016)
Journal Article

This work is concerned with the development of a space-time adaptive numerical method, based on a rigorous a posteriori error bound, for a semilinear convection-diffusion problem which may exhibit blow-up in finite time. More specifically, a posterio... Read More about Adaptivity and Blow-Up Detection for Nonlinear Evolution Problems.

A geometric approach to visualization of variability in functional data (2016)
Journal Article

We propose a new method for the construction and visualization of boxplot-type displays for functional data. We use a recent functional data analysis framework, based on a representation of functions called square-root slope functions, to decompose o...

The deterministic Kermack?McKendrick model bounds the general stochastic epidemic (2016)
Journal Article

We prove that, for Poisson transmission and recovery processes, the classic Susceptible $\to$ Infected $\to$ Recovered (SIR) epidemic model of Kermack and McKendrick provides, for any given time $t>0$, a strict lower bound on the expected number of s...

Modelling and Bayesian analysis of the Abakaliki smallpox data (2016)
Journal Article

The celebrated Abakaliki smallpox data have appeared numerous times in the epidemic modelling literature, but in almost all cases only a specific subset of the data is considered. The only previous analysis of the full data set relied on approximatio... Read More about Modelling and Bayesian analysis of the Abakaliki smallpox data.

Compensated convexity methods for approximations and interpolations of sampled functions in Euclidean spaces: theoretical foundations (2016)
Journal Article

We introduce Lipschitz continuous and C¹,¹ geometric approximation and interpolation methods for sampled bounded uniformly continuous functions over compact sets and over complements of bounded open sets in Rn by using compensated convex transforms....

Geometrical structure of two-dimensional crystals with non-constant dislocation density (2016)
Journal Article

We outline mathematical methods which seem to be necessary in order to discuss crystal structures with non-constant dislocation density tensor(ddt) in some generality. It is known that, if the ddt is constant (in space), then material points can be i... Read More about Geometrical structure of two-dimensional crystals with non-constant dislocation density.

Differential cohomology and locally covariant quantum field theory (2016)
Journal Article

We study differential cohomology on categories of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. The Lorentzian metric allows us to define a natural transformation whose kernel generalizes Maxwell's equations and fits into a restriction of the fundamental...

The nonconforming virtual element method for the stokes equations (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. We present the nonconforming virtual element method (VEM) for the numerical approximation of velocity and pressure in the steady Stokes problem. The pressure is approximated using discontinuous p... Read More about The nonconforming virtual element method for the stokes equations.

Schur complement inequalities for covariance matrices and monogamy of quantum correlations (2016)
Journal Article

We derive fundamental constraints for the Schur complement of positive matrices, which provide an operator strengthening to recently established information inequalities for quantum covariance matrices, including strong subadditivity. This allows us... Read More about Schur complement inequalities for covariance matrices and monogamy of quantum correlations.
