New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, ...

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 ...

Abstract: Recent research has shown that the load flow equations describing the steady-state conditions in a radial network can be formulated as a second-order cone program and solved using polynomial ...
