In mid-March, the mathematicians Joshua Greene and Andrew Lobb found themselves in the same situation: locked down and struggling to adjust while the Covid-19 pandemic grew outside their doors. They ...

Various time-series decomposition techniques, including wavelet transform, singular spectrum analysis, empirical mode decomposition and independent component analysis, have been developed for ...

Twenty-seven years ago, a group of physicists made an accidental discovery that flipped mathematics on its head. The physicists were trying to work out the details of string theory when they observed ...

In the field of symplectic geometry, a central issue involves how to count the intersection points of two complicated geometric spaces. This counting question is at the heart of one of the most famous ...

In this paper we present rotational symplectic geometry for use in modern biomechanics of human motion. Generalized Hamiltonian formalism has been formulated on the configuration manifold consisting ...
