Computers have made it easier than ever before to design the perfect material for a given problem: Scientists can create a ...

A function is a rule that is applied to one set of values to give another set of values. A function can be illustrated on a graph – points are plotted as coordinates and joined by either a straight ...

Equivariant D-modules combine the algebraic theory of differential operators with group actions on algebraic varieties, providing a framework to study systems of linear partial differential equations ...

Abstract: The problem of designing physical-layer network coding (PNC) schemes via nested lattices is considered. Building on the compute-and-forward (C&F) relaying strategy of Nazer and Gastpar, who ...

Abstract: Due to the low cost of easy-to-use components of open-source hardware and software, the Internet of Things may be pervading through everything everywhere. The dependability of the Internet ...

Can you chip in? As an independent nonprofit, the Internet Archive is fighting for universal access to quality information. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, ...

Swift Numerics provides a set of modules that support numerical computing in Swift. These modules fall broadly into two categories: API that is too specialized to go into the standard library, but ...

ABSTRACT: In the Special Relativity paper of Einstein (1905), only a footnote provides a reference to the conformal group of space-time for the Minkowski metric ω . We prove that General Relativity ...

Illustration of a set of real zeros of a graph polynomial (middle) and two Feynman diagrams. Credit: Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences How can the behavior of elementary particles ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of recent work by the ...
