The paper “Leapfrogging criteria for a line vortex pair external to a circular cylinder” authored by Matt Turner has been accepted for publication in Physics of Fluids. The paper identifies a criteria, a function of cylinder radius and the ratio of vortex strengths, which signifies the boundary between leapfrogging and non-leapfrogging motions as the vortices […]

The paper “Regularized Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics“, co-authored by Jonathan I Rawlinson (Bristol/Leeds) and Cesare Tronci, has been accepted for publication in Physical Review A. The paper presents a new closure of the nuclear Born-Oppenheimer equation, thereby leading to a molecular dynamics scheme capturing geometric phase effects. Full abstract can be found on the PRA page […]

Philip Aston is one of the organisers of the first LMS-Bath Symposium on the Mathematics of Machine Learning which ran last week (3-7 August). The original intention was to have a relatively small workshop at the Universtity of Bath. However, due to the pandemic, the Symposium has gone online and now over 900 people from […]
