Scaling of the velocity profile in strongly drag reduced turbulent flows over an oscillating wall by Skote, Martin

“…As a result, logarithmic part is influenced by both velocity scales and the slope of the velocity profile is directly linked to the DR. The theoretically obtained results are verified by data from six previously performed direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of boundary layers over spatial and temporal wall oscillations, with a wide range of resulting DR. …”

Optimizing targeted vaccination across cyber–physical networks: an empirically based mathematical simulation stud by Mones, Enys, Stopczynski, Arkadiusz, Pentland, Alex, Hupert, Nathaniel, Lehmann, Sune

“…Here, we study the digital communication activity of more than 500 individuals along with their person-to-person contacts at a 5-min temporal resolution. We then simulate different disease transmission scenarios on the person-to-person physical contact network to determine whether cyber communication networks can be harnessed to advance the goal of targeted vaccination for a disease spreading on the network of physical proximity. …”

Query lower bounds for log-concave sampling by Chewi, Sinho, de Dios Pont, Jaume, Li, Jerry, Lu, Chen, Narayanan, Shyam

“…In this work, we establish the following query lower bounds: (1) sampling from strongly log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension ≥ 2 requires Ω(log) queries, which is sharp in any constant dimension, and (2) sampling from Gaussians in dimension (hence also from general log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension) requires Ωe(min( √ log,)) queries, which is nearly sharp for the class of Gaussians. …”
