Let ($M$,$ω$) be a connected, symplectic 4-manifold. A$semitoric integrable system$on ($M$,$ω$) essentially consists of a pair of independent, real-valued, smooth functions$J$and$H$on$M$, for which$J$generates a Hamiltonian circle action under which$H$is invariant. In this paper we give a general method to construct, starting from a collection of five ingredients, a symplectic 4-manifold equipped a semitoric integrable system. Then we show that every semitoric integrable system on a symplectic 4-manifold is obtained in this fashion. In conjunction with the uniqueness theorem proved recently by the authors, this gives a classification of semitoric integrable systems on 4-manifolds, in terms of five invariants.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a nodal-continuous and $H^1$-conforming finite element method for the numerical computation of Maxwell's equations, with singular solution in a fractional order Sobolev space $H^r(\Omega)$, where $r$ may take any value in the most interesting interval $(0, 1)$. The key feature of the method is that mass-lumping linear finite element $L^2$ projections act on the curl and divergence partial differential operators so that the singular solution can be sought in a setting of $L^2(\Omega)$ space. We shall use the nodal-continuous linear finite elements, enriched with one element bubble in each element, to approximate the singular and non-$H^1$ solution. Discontinuous and nonhomogeneous media are allowed in the method. Some error estimates are given and a number of numerical experiments for source problems as well as eigenvalue problems are presented to illustrate the superior performance of the proposed method.

We study the tensor product decomposition of the split real quantum group Uqq~(sl(2,R)) from the perspective of finite dimensional representation theory of compact quantum groups. It is known that the class of positive representations of Uqq~(sl(2,R)) is closed under taking tensor product. In this paper, we show that one can derive the corresponding Hilbert space decomposition, given explicitly by quantum dilogarithm transformations, from the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the tensor product decomposition of finite dimensional representations of the compact quantum group Uq(sl2) by solving certain functional equations and using normalization arising from tensor products of canonical basis. We propose a general strategy to deal with the tensor product decomposition for the higher rank split real quantum group Uqq~(gR)

Herein we describe new frontiers in mathematical modeling and statistical analysis of oscillatory biomedical signals, motivated by our recent studies of network formation in the human brain during the early stages of life and studies forty years ago on cardiorespiratory patterns during sleep in infants and animal models. The frontiers involve new nonlinear-type time-frequency analysis of signals with multiple oscillatory components, and efficient particle filters for joint state and parameter estimators together with uncertainty quantification in hidden Markov models and empirical Bayes inference.
