  • Can Feedback Traders Rock the Markets? A Logistic Tale of Persistence and Chaos 

    Tambakis, Demosthenes N (CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2006-03)
    This paper introduces a nonlinear feedback trading model at high frequency. All price adjustment is endogenous, driven by asset return and volatility in the previous trading period. There is no stochastic uncertainty or ...

  • Can phoretic particles swim in two dimensions? 

    Sondak, D; Hawley, C; Heng, S; Vinsonhaler, R; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Thiffeault, J-L (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review E, 2016-12-16)
    Artificial phoretic particles swim using self-generated gradients in chemical species (self-diffusiophoresis) or charges and currents (self-electrophoresis). These particles can be used to study the physics of collective ...

  • Capillary retraction of the edge of a stretched viscous sheet 

    Munro, James; Lister, John Ronald (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018-04-03)
    Surface tension causes the edge of a fluid sheet to retract. If the sheet is also stretched along its edge then the flow and the rate of retraction are modified. A universal similarity solution for the Stokes flow in a ...

  • Categories of spaces built from local models 

    Low, Zhen Lin (University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical StatisticsTrinity Hall, 2016-06-28)
    Many of the classes of objects studied in geometry are defined by first choosing a class of nice spaces and then allowing oneself to glue these local models together to construct more general spaces. The most well-known ...

    Terrasi, GP; Lees, Janet Marillyn (American Concrete InstituteField Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies, 2003)

  • Chaos and Entropic Chaos in Kac's Model Without High Moments 

    Carrapatoso, Kleber; Einav, Amit (Institute of Mathematical StatisticsElectronic Journal of Probability, 2013-08-27)
    In this paper we present a new local Lévy Central Limit Theorem, showing convergence to stable states that are not necessarily the Gaussian, and use it to find new and intuitive entropically chaotic families with underlying ...

  • Characterisation of gradient flows on finite state Markov chains 

    Dietert, Helge (Institute of Mathematical StatisticsElectronic Communications in Probability, 2015-03-29)
    In his 2011 work, Maas has shown that the law of any time-reversible continuoustime Markov chain with finite state space evolves like a gradient flow of the relative entropy with respect to its stationary distribution. ...

  • Characterization of Early Cortical Neural Network Development in Multiwell Microelectrode Array Plates 

    Cotterill, Ellese; Hall, Diana; Wallace, Kathleen; Mundy, William R; Eglen, Stephen John; Shafer, Timothy J (SAGE PublicationsJournal of Biomolecular Screening, 2016-03-29)
    We examined neural network ontogeny using microelectrode array (MEA) recordings made in multiwell MEA (mwMEA) plates over the first 12 days in vitro (DIV). In primary cortical cultures, action potential spiking activity ...

  • Charge quantization from a number operator 

    Furey, C (ElsevierPhysics Letters B, 2015-01-26)
    We explain how an unexpected algebraic structure, the division algebras, can be seen to underlie a generation of quarks and leptons. From this new vantage point, electrons and quarks are simply excitations from the neutrino, ...

  • Charmed Meson Scattering from Lattice QCD 

    Moir, Graham (Proceedings of ScienceProceedings from the 8th International Workshop On Charm Physics, 2016-11-17)
    State-of-the-art lattice QCD calculations of scattering amplitudes in coupled-channel Dπ, Dη and DsK¯ scattering, as well elastic DK scattering are discussed. The methodology employed allows a determination of the relevant ...

  • Charmonium and charmed meson spectroscopy from lattice QCD 

    Tims, D; Cheung, Gavin; O’Hara, C; Moir, Graham; Peardon, M; Ryan, SM; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science34th annual International Symposium on Lattice Field Theoryhttps://pos.sissa.it/cgi-bin/reader/contribution.cgi?id=256/137, 2017-01-25)
    Spectra of highly excited hidden and open-charm mesons calculated on dynamical lattice QCD ensembles with a pion mass of M$_{π}$ $\sim$ 240 MeV are presented and compared to previous results obtained on a lattice where ...

  • Classical and quantum solutions in Brans-Dicke cosmology with a perfect fluid 

    Paliathanasis, Andronikos; Tsamparlis, Michael; Basilakos, Spyros; Barrow, John David (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2016)
    We consider the application of group invariant transformations in order to constrain a flat isotropic and homogeneous cosmological model, containing of a Brans-Dicke scalar field and a perfect fluid with a constant equation ...

  • Classical and thermodynamic stability of black holes 

    Monteiro, Ricardo (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsHughes Hall, 2010-07-06)
    We consider the stability of black holes within both classical general relativity and the semiclassical thermodynamic description. In particular, we study linearised perturbations and their contribution to the gravitational ...

  • Classification and Reconstruction of High-Dimensional Signals from Low-Dimensional Features in the Presence of Side Information 

    Renna, Francesco; Wang, L; Yuan, X; Yang, J; Reeves, G; Calderbank, R; Carin, L; Rodrigues, M (IEEEIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2016-09-07)
    This paper offers a characterization of fundamental limits on the classification and reconstruction of high-dimensional signals from low-dimensional features, in the presence of side information. We consider a scenario ...

  • Cleaning of Viscous Droplets on an Inclined Planar Surface Using Film Flows 

    Landel, JR; Thomas, AL; McEvoy, H; Dalziel, Stuart Bruce (Australian Fluids Mechanics SocietyProceedings of the Nineteenth Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference, 2014)
    We investigate the fluid mechanics of cleaning viscous drops attached to a flat inclined surface using thin gravity-driven film flows. We focus on the case where the drop cannot be detached from the surface by the mechanical ...

  • Cliques in graphs 

    Lo, Allan (University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, 2010-10-12)
    The main focus of this thesis is to evaluate $k_r(n,\delta)$, the minimal number of $r$-cliques in graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree~$\delta$. A fundamental result in Graph Theory states that a triangle-free graph ...

  • Clustering instability of focused swimmers 

    Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Nadal, F (IOP PublishingEurophysics Letters, 2017-02-09)
