A multi-variable version of the completed Riemann zeta function and other -functions
We define a generalisation of the completed Riemann zeta function in several
complex variables. It satisfies a functional equation, shuffle product
identities, and has simple poles along finitely many hyperplanes, with a
recursive structure on its residues. The special case of two variables can be
written as a partial Mellin transform of a real analytic Eisenstein series,
which enables us to relate its values at pairs of positive even points to
periods of (simple extensions of symmetric powers of the cohomology of) the CM
elliptic curve corresponding to the Gaussian integers. In general, the totally
even values of these functions are related to new quantities which we call
multiple quadratic sums.
More generally, we cautiously define multiple-variable versions of motivic
-functions and ask whether there is a relation between their special values
and periods of general mixed motives. We show that all periods of mixed Tate
motives over the integers, and all periods of motivic fundamental groups (or
relative completions) of modular groups, are indeed special values of the
multiple motivic -values defined here.Comment: This is the second half of a talk given in honour of Ihara's 80th

Dispersion modeling and analysis for multilayered open coaxial waveguides
This paper presents a detailed modeling and analysis regarding the dispersion
characteristics of multilayered open coaxial waveguides. The study is motivated
by the need of improved modeling and an increased physical understanding about
the wave propagation phenomena on very long power cables which has a potential
industrial application with fault localization and monitoring. The
electromagnetic model is based on a layer recursive computation of
axial-symmetric fields in connection with a magnetic frill generator excitation
that can be calibrated to the current measured at the input of the cable. The
layer recursive formulation enables a stable and efficient numerical
computation of the related dispersion functions as well as a detailed analysis
regarding the analytic and asymptotic properties of the associated
determinants. Modal contributions as well as the contribution from the
associated branch-cut (non-discrete radiating modes) are defined and analyzed.
Measurements and modeling of pulse propagation on an 82 km long HVDC power
cable are presented as a concrete example. In this example, it is concluded
that the contribution from the second TM mode as well as from the branch-cut is
negligible for all practical purposes. However, it is also shown that for
extremely long power cables the contribution from the branch-cut can in fact
dominate over the quasi-TEM mode for some frequency intervals. The main
contribution of this paper is to provide the necessary analysis tools for a
quantitative study of these phenomena
On the enumeration of closures and environments with an application to random generation
Environments and closures are two of the main ingredients of evaluation in
lambda-calculus. A closure is a pair consisting of a lambda-term and an
environment, whereas an environment is a list of lambda-terms assigned to free
variables. In this paper we investigate some dynamic aspects of evaluation in
lambda-calculus considering the quantitative, combinatorial properties of
environments and closures. Focusing on two classes of environments and
closures, namely the so-called plain and closed ones, we consider the problem
of their asymptotic counting and effective random generation. We provide an
asymptotic approximation of the number of both plain environments and closures
of size . Using the associated generating functions, we construct effective
samplers for both classes of combinatorial structures. Finally, we discuss the
related problem of asymptotic counting and random generation of closed
environemnts and closures
Recursive POD expansion for the advection-diffusion-reaction equation
This paper deals with the approximation of advection-diffusion-reaction
equation solution by reduced order methods. We use the Recursive POD approximation for multivariate functions introduced in [M. AZAÏEZ, F. BEN BELGACEM, T. CHACÓN REBOLLO, Recursive POD expansion for reactiondiffusion equation, Adv.Model. and Simul. in Eng. Sci. (2016) 3:3. DOI 10.1186/s40323-016-0060-1] and applied to the low tensor representation
of the solution of the reaction-diffusion partial differential equation. In this
contribution we extend the Recursive POD approximation for multivariate functions with an arbitrary number of parameters, for which we prove general error estimates. The method is used to approximate the solutions of the advection-diffusion-reaction equation. We prove spectral error estimates, in which the spectral convergence rate depends only on the diffusion interval, while the error estimates are affected by a factor that grows exponentially with the advection velocity, and are independent of the reaction rate if this lives in a bounded set. These error estimates are based upon the analyticity of the solution of these equations as a function of the parameters (advection
velocity, diffusion, reaction rate). We present several numerical tests, strongly consistent with the theoretical error estimates.Ministerio de Economía y CompetitividadAgence nationale de la rechercheGruppo Nazionale per il Calcolo ScientificoUE ERA-PLANE
Congruence properties of depths in some random trees
Consider a random recusive tree with n vertices. We show that the number of
vertices with even depth is asymptotically normal as n tends to infinty. The
same is true for the number of vertices of depth divisible by m for m=3, 4 or
5; in all four cases the variance grows linearly. On the other hand, for m at
least 7, the number is not asymptotically normal, and the variance grows faster
than linear in n. The case m=6 is intermediate: the number is asymptotically
normal but the variance is of order n log n.
This is a simple and striking example of a type of phase transition that has
been observed by other authors in several cases. We prove, and perhaps explain,
this non-intuitive behavious using a translation to a generalized Polya urn.
Similar results hold for a random binary search tree; now the number of
vertices of depth divisible by m is asymptotically normal for m at most 8 but
not for m at least 9, and the variance grows linearly in the first case both
faster in the second. (There is no intermediate case.)
In contrast, we show that for conditioned Galton-Watson trees, including
random labelled trees and random binary trees, there is no such phase
transition: the number is asymptotically normal for every m.Comment: 23 page
