Geometry of Control-Affine Systems [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2009
Motivated by control-affine systems in optimal control theory, we introduce the notion of a point-affine distribution on a manifold X – i.e., an affine distribution F together with a distinguished vector field contained in F.

Emergence of scale-free close-knit friendship structure in online social networks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Although the structural properties of online social networks have attracted much attention, the properties of the close-knit friendship structures remain an important question.

Singularity Classes of Special 2-Flags [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2009
In the paper we discuss certain classes of vector distributions in the tangent bundles to manifolds, obtained by series of applications of the so-called generalized Cartan prolongations (gCp).

Local Distributional Chaos

open access: yesQualitative Theory of Dynamical Systems, 2022
In discrete dynamical system $(X, f)$ where $X$ is a topological space and $f \in C(X,X)$, three notions of distributional chaos were defined. They were denoted by $DC1, DC2$ and $DC3$. For interval systems such three notions coincide and they will be denoted by DC-chaos. Generally speaking we have $DC1 \subseteq DC2 \subseteq DC3$-chaos.

Local Distributed Decision [PDF]

open access: yes2011 IEEE 52nd Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2011
A central theme in distributed network algorithms concerns understanding and coping with the issue of locality. Inspired by sequential complexity theory, we focus on a complexity theory for distributed decision problems. In the context of locality, solving a decision problem requires the processors to independently inspect their local neighborhoods and

Asymptotical expansions in the Kubilius theorem of large deviations

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2005

Refuge distributions and landscape connectivity affect host-parasitoid dynamics: Motivations for biological control in agroecosystems

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Species distributions are affected by landscape structure at different spatial scales. Here we study how the interplay between dispersal at different spatial scales and landscape connectivity and composition affect local species dynamics.

Spectral Energy Distributions for 258 Local Volume Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present model spectral energy distribution (SED) fits to ultraviolet/optical/infrared observations for the 258 nearby galaxies in the Local Volume Legacy survey, a sample dominated by lower-luminosity dwarf irregular systems.

Tales of Tails

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Typical human-scaled considerations of thermodynamic states depend primarily on the core of associated speed or other relevant distributions, because the wings of those distributions are so improbable that they cannot contribute significantly to averages.
