The asymptotic restriction problem for tensors is to decide, given tensors s and t, whether the nth tensor power of s can be obtained from the (n+o(n))th tensor power of t by applying linear maps to the tensor legs (this we call restriction), when n goes to infinity. In this context, Volker Strassen, striving to understand the complexity of matrix multiplication, introduced in 1986 the asymptot...

We consider Laplacian in a planar strip with Dirichlet boundary condition on the upper boundary and with frequent alternation boundary condition on the lower boundary. The alternation is introduced by the periodic partition of the boundary into small segments on which Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are imposed in turns. We show that under the certain condition the homogenized operator is the ...

We study the height of the delta peak at 0 in the spectrum of incidence matrices of random trees. We show that the average fraction of the spectrum occupied by the eigenvalue 0 in a large random tree is asymptotic to 2x∗−1 = 0.1342865808195677459999 · · · where x∗ is the unique real root of x = e. For finite trees, we give a closed form, a generating function, and an asymptotic estimate for the...

In most problems, the ideal situation is having the asymptotic dynamics of one equation the same as the asymptotic dynamics of its discretization. Although, when we are studying the linear wave equation, we note that the spectrum of discretization and the spectrum of its continuous counterpart are far away from each other, no matter how fine the discretization is. This fact is restrictive in th...

A perturbation decaying to 0 at ∞ and not too irregular at 0 introduces at most a discrete set of eigenvalues into the spectral gaps of a one-dimensional Dirac operator on the half-line. We show that the number of these eigenvalues in a compact subset of a gap in the essential spectrum is given by a quasi-semiclassical asymptotic formula in the slow-decay limit, which for power-decaying perturb...

The Brownian motion over the space of fluid velocity configurations driven by the hydrodynamical equations is considered. The Green function is computed in the form of an asymptotic series close to the standard diffusion kernel. The high order asymptotic coefficients are studied. Similarly to the models of quantum field theory, the asymptotic contributions demonstrate the factorial growth and a...

We study the spectrum of unbounded J-self-adjoint block operator matrices. In particular, we prove enclosures for the spectrum, provide a sufficient condition for the spectrum being real and derive variational principles for certain real eigenvalues even in the presence of non-real spectrum. The latter lead to lower and upper bounds and asymptotic estimates for eigenvalues. AMS Subject classifi...

The Chebyshev semiiterative method (CHSIM) is a powerful method for finding the iterative solution of a nonsymmetric real linear system Ax = b if an ellipse excluding the origin well fits the spectrum of A. The asymptotic rate of convergence of the CHSIM for solving the above system under a perturbation of the foci of the optimal ellipse is studied. Several formulae to approximate the asymptoti...

This paper is devoted to the effective behavior of linear viscoelastic heterogeneous materials with a particular emphasis on their transient response. First, two new asymptotic relations for the overall creep function are derived at short and large times. They are related to the retardation spectrum of the composite and involve second-order moments per phase of the stress field for the purely e...

I present a matched-wave asymptotic analysis of the driving of solar oscillations by a general localised source. The analysis provides a simple mathematical description of the asymmetric peaks in the power spectrum in terms of the relative locations of eigenmodes and troughs in the spectral response. It is suggested that the difference in measured phase function between the modes and the trough...
