Polina Vytnova speaks in the Dynamical Systems Seminar at Imperial College London

Polina Vytnova is visiting Imperial College London today (Tuesday 30 January) to give a talk in the Dynamical Systems Seminar Series. The title is “Estimating the spectral radius of the transfer operator for an infinite IFS“. A popular approach to computing Hausdorff dimension of limit sets relies on the Ruelle-Bowen formula. It connects the Hausdorff […]


Robert Piel passes PhD confirmation

Congratulations to Robert Piel for passing his PhD confirmation examination! It was held on Monday 29 January and the examiners were Naratip Santitissadeekorn and Matt Turner. The title of his project is “Adaptive, Structure-preserving Finite Elements through Subdivision“. His project is supervised by Werner Bauer and his second supervisor is Cesare Tronci.The image below shows a screenshot of the beginning of Section 4.3 of […]


Paper of David Lloyd on dihedral rings of patterns from a Turing bifurcation to appear in Nonlinearity

The paper “Dihedral rings of patterns emerging from a Turing bifurcation“, co-authored by Dan Hill (Universität des Saarlandes), Jason Bramburger (Concordia University), and David Lloyd, has been accepted for publication in Nonlinearity. A final form preprint is on the arXiv (link here). The paper proves that approximate strongly interacting patterns can emerge in various ring-like […]


Tom Bridges writes Preface to newly published book on water wave modelling

The book “Variational approach to water wave modelling“, co-authored by Didier Clamond (Nice, France); Denys Dutykh (Kalifa, Saudia Arabia), and Dimitrios Mitsotakis (Victoria, New Zealand), has been published by the IAHR. It is a gold open access book and is freely available to researchers worldwide (link here). The book illustrates the advantage of using variational […]


David Lloyd speaks in the Dynamical Systems Seminar at Imperial College London

Dave Lloyd is visiting the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London today (Thursday 25 January), to give a talk in the Dynamical Systems Seminar Series. The title of his talk is “Advances in the analysis of multidimensional localised patterns“. His talk will present recent results on developing centre-manifold reduction methods for multidimensional localised patterns. […]


Paper of Dorje Brody on the role of quantum mechanics in human behaviour appears in The Conversation

The paper “Could quantum physics be the key that unlocks the secrets of human behaviour?“, authored by Dorje Brody, has been published (on Friday 19 January) in The Conversation (link here). In the article, which is based on the (Nature) Scientific Reports article “Quantum formalism for the dynamics of cognitive psychology”, Dorje introduces the concept […]
