A method of ‘look twice, forgive once’ can sustain social cooperation

September 26, 2024 Phys Org

The theory of indirect reciprocity holds that people who earn a good reputation by helping others are more likely to be rewarded by third parties, but widespread cooperation depends on agreement about reputations.This article was […]

Why do large electorates tend towards evenly split results?

September 23, 2024 Phys Org

Election polls often tighten up remarkably as the election date draws near. “Leave” (the European Union) won the UK election of May 2016 with a majority of 51.9%, but earlier the polls weren’t nearly as […]

Math

Researchers develop precise pricing formula for perpetual American strangle options

September 16, 2024 Phys Org

Perpetual American strangle options (PASOs) offer investors a method for minimizing risk during highly volatile market scenarios by allowing them to buy or sell options at any date without an expiration date. In a new […]

Math

Two-way mathematical ‘dictionary’ could connect quantum physics with number theory

September 12, 2024 Phys Org

Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own “undecipherable” coded languages. In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Tamás Hausel, professor of mathematics at the […]

Mathematical modeling explores the statistical mysteries of successfully scheduling a meeting

September 9, 2024 Phys Org

In a world where organizing a simple meeting can feel like herding cats, new research from Case Western Reserve University reveals just how challenging finding a suitable meeting time becomes as the number of participants […]

Math

Mathematicians model a puzzling breakdown in cooperative behavior

September 3, 2024 Phys Org

Darwin was puzzled by cooperation in nature—it ran directly against natural selection and the notion of survival of the fittest. But over the past decades, evolutionary mathematicians have used game theory to better understand why […]

Math

Different mathematical solving methods can affect how information is memorized

August 30, 2024 Phys Org

The way we memorize information—a mathematical problem statement, for example—reveals the way we process it. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with CY Cergy Paris University (CYU) and Bourgogne University (uB), […]

Math

Framework for solving parabolic partial differential equations could guide computer graphics and geometry processing

August 28, 2024 Phys Org

Computer graphics and geometry processing research provide the tools needed to simulate physical phenomena like fire and flames, aiding the creation of visual effects in video games and movies as well as the fabrication of […]
