Plurisubharmonic functions form a central tool in the study of several complex variables, offering a robust framework for analysing complex phenomena via potential theory. These functions, which are ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As our digital devices handle increasingly complex computations, scientists have looked to physics for inspiration on new computing paradigms. Rather than shuttling electrical ...

This chaotic-looking "double pendulum" follows a large number of rules that govern its motion. Researchers have trained AI to take data from its movements to uncover simple equations that successfully ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...
