Fractal boundary value problems concern partial differential equations posed on domains whose boundaries exhibit self-similarity and non-integer dimensionality. Classical boundary value formulations ...

In mathematics, simple equations can generate a complex evolution in time and intriguing patterns in space. One famous example of this is the Mandelbrot set, named after the French-American ...

A team of researchers in Spain says that it has developed an equation that describes how intricate surface patterns, resembling a cauliflower-like motif, evolve and develop over time. The researchers ...

How long is a country’s border? That’s the seemingly simple question mathematician Lewis Fry Richardson asked himself more than 75 years ago. The thing that puzzled him was that the length of the ...

ONLY rarely does the dry theorising of mathematicians strike a chord with the public. Most people have heard of Einstein and his famous equation, E=mc 2, or of Isaac Newton and his apochryphal falling ...
