Revisiting Fluid Mechanics, From a Complexity Lens

Saksham Sharma discusses issues that arise from treating fluids as a continuum and two of his recent preprints examining the emergence of fluids from atoms and framing fluid mechanics in the context of computing.

Revivals and Fractalization

David A. Smith discusses dispersive quantisation: from its discovery in the 19th century by Talbot, to more modern attempts at understanding fractalizing effects in dispersive equations.

Riding the “Wave” of Affordable 3D Printing

Applications to PDEs in teaching and research

Nate Barlow, Colin Huber, and Olivier Montmayeur describe how they have used 3D printing for research and teaching, especially for partial differential equations with solutions that evolve in time, and provide advice for you can literally surround yourself with math.

Self-assembly and Particle Aggregation in Stratified Fluids

Camassa and McLaughlin experimentally discover particle aggregates due to no-flux boundary-induced attraction.

Sequence Generation in Inhibition-dominated Neural Networks

The authors summarize their recent SIADS article using dynamical systems to identify sequential attractors that emerge given the architectures of a special class of neural networks that are inhibition-dominated.

Shifting Consensus in a Biased Compromise Model

Olivia Cannon summarizes recent research analyzing the spatiotemporal dynamics of opinion clusters in a biased compromise model.

Short Amphiphilic Molecules: Curve Lengthening, Defects, and the Role of Cholesterol

Yuan Chen, Andrew Christlieb, Keith Promislow, Frits Veerman, and Sulin Wang report on their research project where they derived a singularly perturbed problem for the cholesterol-loaded structure embedded within the singular scaling of the phospholipid bilayer and showed that the cholesterol sublayer robustly stabilizes the membrane to defect-generating pearling perturbations.
