For all $\alpha \geq RT(3)$ (where $RT(3) = 7/4$ is the repetition threshold for the $3$-letter alphabet), there exists an infinite word over 3 letters whose critical exponent is $\alpha$.

Abstract In this article, we investigate multiplicity results for Choquard-Kirchhoff type equations, with Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev critical exponents, $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle -\left(a + b\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N} |\nabla u|^2 dx\right){\it\Delta} u = \alpha k(x)|u|^{q-2}u + \beta\left(\,\,\displaystyle\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{|u(y)|^{2^*_{\mu}}}{|x-y|^{\mu}}dy\right)|u|^{2^*_{\mu}-2}u, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^N, \end{array}$$ where a > 0, b ≥ 0, 0 < μ < N, N ≥ 3, α and β are positive real parameters, $\begin{array}{} 2^*_{\mu} = (2N-\mu)/(N-2) \end{array}$ is the critical exponent in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, k ∈ Lr(ℝN), with r = 2∗/(2∗ − q) if 1 < q < 2* and r = ∞ if q ≥ 2∗. According to the different range of q, we discuss the multiplicity of solutions to the above equation, using variational methods under suitable conditions. In order to overcome the lack of compactness, we appeal to the concentration compactness principle in the Choquard-type setting.

The Heisenberg spin 1/2 chain is revisited in the perturbative RG approach with special focus on the transition of the critical exponents. We give a compact review that first order RG in the couplings is sufficient to derive the exact transition from ν = 1 to ν = 2/3, if the boson radius obtained in the bosonization procedure is replaced by the exact radius obtained in the Bethe approach. We explain the fact, that from the bosonization procedure alone, the critical exponent can not be derived correctly in the isotropic limit Jz → J. We further state that this fact is important if we consider to bosonize the antiferromagnetic super spin chain for the quantum Hall effect.

Line-widths of light scattered by nitrobenzene-heptane system are measured over a wide temperature range including the vicinity of the critical temperature of separation. The critical exponents are measured. Noncoincident value of the critical exponent for the states of the system above and below the critical temperature of separation are obtained.

The critical exponent of an infinite word is defined to be the supremum of the exponent of each of its factors. For k-automatic sequences, we show that this critical exponent is always either a rational number or infinite, and its value is computable. Our results also apply to variants of the critical exponent, such as the initial critical exponent of Berthé, Holton, and Zamboni and the Diophantine exponent of Adamczewski and Bugeaud. Our work generalizes or recovers previous results of Krieger and others, and is applicable to other situations; e.g., the computation of the optimal recurrence constant for a linearly recurrent k-automatic sequence.

We obtained new characteristic relations in Type-II and III intermittencies according to the reinjection probability distribution. When the reinjection probability distribution is fixed at the lower bound of reinjection, the critical exponents are -1, as is well known. However when the reinjection probability distribution is uniform, the critical exponent is -1/2, and when it is of form [Formula: see text], -3/4. On the other hand, if the square root of Δ, which represents the lower bound of reinjection, is much smaller than the control parameter ∊, i.e. ∊ ≫ Δ1/2, critical exponent is always -1, independent of the reinjection probability distribution. Those critical exponents are confirmed by numerical simulation study.

In combinatorics on words, a word $w$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is said to avoid a pattern $p$ over an alphabet $\Delta$ if there is no factor $f$ of $w$ such that $f= h(p)$ where $h: \Delta^*\to\Sigma^*$ is a non-erasing morphism. A pattern $p$ is said to be $k$-avoidable if there exists an infinite word over a $k$-letter alphabet that avoids $p$. We give a positive answer to Problem 3.3.2 in Lothaire's book "Algebraic combinatorics on words'", that is, every pattern with $k$ variables of length at least $2^k$ (resp. $3\times2^{k-1}$) is 3-avoidable (resp. 2-avoidable). This conjecture was first stated by Cassaigne in his thesis in 1994. This improves previous bounds due to Bell and Goh, and Rampersad.

The repetition threshold is the smallest real number $\alpha$ such that there exists an infinite word over a $k$-letter alphabet that avoids repetition of exponent strictly greater than $\alpha$. This notion can be generalized to graph classes. In this paper, we completely determine the repetition thresholds for caterpillars and caterpillars of maximum degree $3$. Additionally, we present bounds for the repetition thresholds of trees with bounded maximum degrees.

Abstract The phenomenon called critical slowing down is studied for some analytically tractable bifurcation points of the logistic map. The critical amplitude and the critical amplitude ratio are introduced to describe the critical behaviors more precisely when the critical exponents are identically unity for two critical behaviors which are to be compared. Since Hao predicted unity of the critical exponent for 1-d maps assuming exponential damping of the distance from the attractor, the assumption is checked. The result is that the shrinkage of the valid region of the assumption occurs as the adjustable parameter approaches one of the bifurcation points.

We construct an infinite word w over the 5-letter alphabet such that for every factor f of w of length at least two, there exists a cyclic permutation of f that is not a factor of w. In other words, w does not contain a non-trivial conjugacy class. This proves the conjecture in Gamard et al. [Theoret. Comput. Sci. 726 (2018) 1–4].

We establish nonexistence results to systems of differential inequalities on the(2N+1)-Heisenberg group. The systems considered here are of the type(ESm). These nonexistence results hold forNless than critical exponents which depend onpiandγi,1≤i≤m. Our results improve the known estimates of the critical exponent.
