Can topology predict a financial crisis? by Dang, Thi Mai Vy

“…Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is an emerging field of Applied Mathematics which combines the work of topology and computational geometry to extract insights from high-dimensional data sets. High-dimensional data sets are usually noisy and incomplete, which makes handling them generally challenging. …”

Public goods in the short and long term by Trammell, P

“…</p> <p>The third extends a static public good game to a general equilibrium setting in which prices depend on expenditures. Accounting for this endogeneity motivates spending behavior markedly different both from equilibrium behavior in classic or partial equilibrium public good models, and from that in the Walrasian setting of general equilibrium with only private goods. …”

“…This paper explores the potential dilemmas and opportunities for setting up online discussion forums when undertaking research on health-related behaviour. …”

Neck pinch singularities and Joyce conjectures in Lagrangian mean curvature flow with circle symmetry by Lotay, JD, Oliveira, G

“…We show that this Lagrangian mean curvature flow can be continued for all time, through a finite number of finite time singularities, and converges to a chain of special Lagrangians, verifying various aspects of Joyce’s conjectures [Joy15] in this setting. This result provides the first non-trivial setting where Lagrangian mean curvature flow may be used successfully to achieve the desired decomposition of a Lagrangian into a sum of special Lagrangians representing its Hamiltonian isotopy class. …”

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills, spherical branes, and precision holography by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF, Minahan, JA, Nedelin, A

“…We find excellent agreement between the two sets of results. This constitutes a non-trivial precision test of holography in a non-conformal setting. …”

The greening of terminal concessions in seaports by Notteboom, Theo, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee

“…Measures related to information reporting and some types of harm-based standards, design standards, and technology specifications are relatively easy to implement in a concession setting. The results also show that many of the measures with a higher expected contribution to innovation and environmental objectives are typically also the ones with higher regulation costs, which might post a higher complexity in terms of their implementation in a concession setting. …”

Learning object categories from internet image searches by Fergus, R, Fei-Fei, L, Perona, P, Zisserman, A

“…By training our models directly from Internet images, we remove the need to laboriously compile training data sets, required by most other recognition approaches-this opens up the possibility of learning object category models “on-the-fly.” …”

Reduction of bubble cavitation by modifying the diffraction wave from a lithotripter aperture by Zhou, Yufeng

“…There is no difference, however, in both the amplitude and duration of the compressive shockwaves between these two configurations as well as the −6 dB beam width in the focal plane. The significant suppression effect of bubble cavitation was confirmed by the measured bubble collapse time using passive cavitation detection. …”

Truthful allocation in graphs and hypergraphs by Christodoulou, G, Koutsoupias, E, Kovacs, A

“…We study truthful mechanisms for allocation problems in graphs, both for the minimization (i.e., scheduling) and maximization (i.e., auctions) setting. The minimization problem is a special case of the well-studied unrelated machines scheduling problem, in which every given task can be executed only by two pre-specified machines in the case of graphs or a given subset of machines in the case of hypergraphs. …”
