Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…The destabilizing mechanism of vapor thrust competes with the stabilizing surface tension which is not asymptotically negligible near rupture. Nonlinear evolution in (1+1)D shows that for weak mass loss and strong vapor recoil, the capillary ridges emerge around a deepening narrow valley with increasing wavelength in sessile layers, while, for Rayleigh–Taylor layers the main and secondary droplets are either partially coalesced or completely separated by a sharp dry-out point on the basis of initial condition (IC). …”

Combinatorial algorithms for scheduling jobs to minimize server usage time by Ren, Runtian

“…This competitive ratio closely matches a known lower bound µ on the competitiveness of any deterministic online algorithm and shows that First Fit packing is near optimal. In the clairvoyant online setting, we establish a lower bound of Ω (log µ / log log µ)^1/2 on the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm. …”
