Quantum random walks in one dimension via generating functions [PDF]
We analyze nearest neighbor one-dimensional quantum random walks with arbitrary unitary coin-flip matrices. Using a multivariate generating function analysis we give a simplified proof of a known phenomenon, namely that the walk has linear speed rather ...

Intrinsic universality and the computational power of self-assembly
This short survey of recent work in tile self-assembly discusses the use of simulation to classify and separate the computational and expressive power of self-assembly models.

Algorithmic Computation of Polynomial Amoebas [PDF]
We present algorithms for computation and visualization of polynomial amoebas, their contours, compactified amoebas and sec- tions of three-dimensional amoebas by two-dimensional planes.

A new method for computing asymptotics of diagonal coefficients of multivariate generating functions [PDF]
Let $\sum_{\mathbf{n} \in \mathbb{N}^d} F_{\mathbf{n}} \mathbf{x}^{\mathbf{n}}$ be a multivariate generating function that converges in a neighborhood of the origin of $\mathbb{C}^d$. We present a new, multivariate method for computing the asymptotics of

Approximating Persistent Homology in Euclidean Space Through Collapses [PDF]
The \v{C}ech complex is one of the most widely used tools in applied algebraic topology. Unfortunately, due to the inclusive nature of the \v{C}ech filtration, the number of simplices grows exponentially in the number of input points.

The average position of the first maximum in a sample of geometric random variables [PDF]
We consider samples of n geometric random variables $(Γ _1, Γ _2, \dots Γ _n)$ where $\mathbb{P}\{Γ _j=i\}=pq^{i-1}$, for $1≤j ≤n$, with $p+q=1$. The parameter we study is the position of the first occurrence of the maximum value in a such a sample.

Enumerating Foldings and Unfoldings between Polygons and Polytopes [PDF]
We pose and answer several questions concerning the number of ways to fold a polygon to a polytope, and how many polytopes can be obtained from one polygon; and the analogous questions for unfolding polytopes to polygons.

The persistence landscape and some of its properties
Persistence landscapes map persistence diagrams into a function space, which may often be taken to be a Banach space or even a Hilbert space. In the latter case, it is a feature map and there is an associated kernel. The main advantage of this summary is

We construct a discrete form of Hamilton's Ricci flow (RF) equations for a d-dimensional piecewise flat simplicial geometry, S. These new algebraic equations are derived using the discrete formulation of Einstein's theory of general relativity known as ...

Simply generated trees, conditioned Galton―Watson trees, random allocations and condensation: Extended abstract [PDF]
We give a unified treatment of the limit, as the size tends to infinity, of random simply generated trees, including both the well-known result in the standard case of critical Galton-Watson trees and similar but less well-known results in the other ...
