It’s the sort of easy maths problem that you can work out in a few minutes using pencil and paper, but physicists in China, Canada and Singapore have now solved pairs of linear equations like this one ...
Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...
Functional differential equations with forward and backward delays arise naturally, for instance, in the study of travelling waves in lattice equations and as semi-discretizations of partial ...
