X-ray tomography is capable of imaging the interior of objects in three dimensions non-invasively, with applications in biomedical imaging, materials study, electronic inspection, and other fields. The reconstruction process can be an ill-conditioned
We derive an expansion for the fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in flat-ring coordinates in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This expansion is a double series of products of functions that are harmonic in the interior and exterior of "flat
Discovering meaningful collective variables for enhancing sampling, via applied biasing potentials or tailored MC move sets, remains a major challenge within molecular simulation. While recent studies identifying collective variables with variational
A Heron triangle is one in which the side lengths and area are integers. An integral right triangle is an example of a Heron triangle. In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of integral right triangles and Heron triangles with a common
Single-photon detection via absorption in current-biased nanoscale superconducting structures has become a preferred technology in quantum optics and related fields. Single-mode fiber packaged devices have seen new records set in detection efficiency

For many quantum systems intended for information processing, one detects the logical state of a qubit by integrating a continuously observed quantity over time. For example, ion and atom qubits are typically measured by driving a cycling transition and
In this article, we consider the quadratic twists of the Mordell curve $E:y^2=x^3-1$. For a square-free integer $k$, the quadratic twist of $E$ is given by $E_k:y^2=x^3-k^3.$ We prove that there exist infinitely many $k$ for which the rank of $E_k$ is 0

Mass spectra are an important signature by which compounds can be identifi ed. We recently formulated a mathematical approach for incorporating measurement variability when comparing sets of high-resolution mass spectra. Leveraging replicate mass spectra
We derive an expansion for the fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in flat-ring cyclide coordinates in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This expansion is a double series of products of functions that are harmonic in the interior and exterior of
This report summarizes recent technical work of the Applied and Computational Sciences Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Part I (Overview) provides a high-level overview of the

Digital Mathematical Libraries assemble the knowledge of years of mathematical research. Numerous disciplines (e.g., physics, engineering, pure and applied mathematics) rely heavily on compendia gathered findings. Likewise, modern research relies more and
Using the direct relation between the Gegenbauer polynomials C_n^λ(x) and the Ferrers function of the first kind P_μ^ν(x), we compute interrelations between certain Jacobi polynomials, Meixner polynomials, and Ferrers functions of the first and second kind
Airfoil shape design is a classical problem in engineering and manufacturing. Our motivation is to combine principled physics-based considerations for the shape design problem with modern computational techniques informed by a data-driven approach
