A Surrey team (Werner Bauer, Paul Bergold, Tom Bridges, Cesare Tronci) attended a two-day workshop on Applied Geometric Mechanics at Imperial College London. The workshop, held on Thursday-Friday 30-31 March, is the third meeting of the two-year network on Applied Geometric Mechanics sponsored by the London Mathematical Society, linking Edinburgh, Exeter, Imperial, and Surrey, and […]

The paper “Accurate bounds on Lyapunov exponents for expanding maps of the interval“, co-authored by Mark Pollicott (Warwick) and Polina Vytnova, has been published open access (link here) in the Communcations in Mathematical Physics. The paper describes a simple but remarkably effective method for rigorously estimating Lyapunov exponents for expanding maps of the interval. The […]

Professor Tomooki Yuasa, an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Management, at Tokyo Metropolitan University, is visiting Mathematics for three weeks, starting on 13 March, to work on a project with Dorje Brody. The premise of their project is as follows. Suppose that there is an election coming up next year, and that there […]

The 55-page paper “Near-resonance approximation of rotating Navier-Stokes equations“, co-authored by Bin Cheng and Zisis Sakellaris, has been published open access in the journal Nonlinearity (link to IOP website here). In the paper they formalise the concept of “near resonance” for the rotating Navier-Stokes equations, and prove that the family of proposed PDEs is globally […]
