Abstract

A simple first-principles mathematical model is developed to predict the performance of a micro photosynthetic power cell ($μ$PSC), an electrochemical device which generates electricity by harnessing electrons from photosynthesis in the presence of light. A lumped parameter approach is used to develop a model in which the electrochemical kinetic rate constants and diffusion effects are lumped into a single characteristic rate constant $K$. A non-parametric estimation of $K$ for the $μ$PSC is performed by minimizing the sum square errors (SSE) between the experimental and model predicted current and voltages. The developed model is validated by comparing the model predicted $v-i$ characteristics with experimental data not used in the parameter estimation. Sensitivity analysis of the design parameters and the operational parameters reveal interesting insights for performance enhancement. Analysis of the model also suggests that there are two different operating regimes that are observed in this $μ$PSC. This modeling approach can be used in other designs of $μ$PSCs for performance enhancement studies.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
