Journal of Computational Mathematics, Vol. 26, No. 3, SPECIAL ISSUE DEDICATED TO THE 70TH BIRTHDAY OF PROFESSOR JUNZHI CUI (May 2008), pp. 284-296 (13 pages) In this paper we show the well-posedness ...

Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves are generated under specific interactions. Light also bends around corners, ...

James Clerk Maxwell ranks alongside Newton and Einstein as one of the world’s great physicists. In designating this year as the International Year of Light, UNESCO explicitly highlight the importance ...

When you think of art, you might think of portraiture, landscapes, or other kinds of paintings. But mathematics can feel artistic at times, too. We’ve all seen gorgeous Mandelbrot fractals, and less ...

Gravity pulls objects together; the closer they are, the stronger the pull. Energy and mass are equivalent and interchangeable (E=mc²). The universe's expansion speed is linked to a galaxy's distance.

For more than 250 years, mathematicians have wondered if the Euler equations might sometimes fail to describe a fluid’s flow. A new computer-assisted proof marks a major breakthrough in that quest.

We study the initial value problem of the Helmholtz equation with spatially variable wave number. We show that it can be stabilized by suppressing the evanescent waves. The stabilized Helmholtz ...
