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 […]

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 […]
