Uncovering liquid-substrate fluctuation effects on crystal growth and disordered hyperuniformity of two-dimensional materials

S. K. Mkhonta, Zhi-Feng Huang, K. R. Elder

We investigate the growth of two-dimensional (2D) crystals on fluctuating surfaces using a phase field crystal model that is relevant on atomic length and diffusive time scales. Mo…

Remote and Rural Connectivity: Infrastructure and Resource Sharing Principles

Thembelihle Dlamini, Sifiso Vilakati

As Mobile Networks (MNs) are advancing towards meeting mobile users requirements, the rural-urban divide still remains a major challenge. While areas within the urban space (metrop…

Quantum Corrections to Solitons in the Model

I. Takyi, M. K. Matfunjwa, H. Weigel

We compute the vacuum polarization energy of kink solitons in the model in one space and one time dimensions. There are three possible field potentials that have eight powe…

Manifold-Topology from K-Causal Order

Rafael D. Sorkin, Yasaman K. Yazdi, Nosiphiwo Zwane

To a significant extent, the metrical and topological properties of spacetime can be described purely order-theoretically. The relation has proven to be useful for this purpo…

A three point formula for finding roots of equations by the method of least squares

Ababu Teklemariam Tiruneh, William N. Ndlela, Stanley J. Nkambule

A new method of root finding is formulated that uses a numerical iterative process involving three points. A given function y = f(x) whose roots are desired is fitted and approxima…

Extension dimension and refinable maps

Alex Chigogidze, Vesko Valov

Extension dimension is characterized in terms of -maps. We apply this result to prove that extension dimension is preserved by refinable maps between metrizable spaces. It is al…

Universal metric spaces and extension dimension

Alex Chigogidze, Vesko Valov

For any countable -complex and a cardinal number we construct a completely metrizable space of weight with the following properties: $\e X(K,τ)\leq K$…
