Complex Hessian equations extend the classical framework of the complex Monge–Ampère equation by involving the m-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the complex Hessian. This ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Mathematical equations allow prediction of all sorts of events. They allow space travel to occur. And ...

Plurisubharmonic functions form a central tool in the study of several complex variables, offering a robust framework for analysing complex phenomena via potential theory. These functions, which are ...

For most people the answer involves finding the nearest calculator. For 11-year-old Ethan Brown of Bethel, however, the answer -- 974,169 -- takes just a few seconds of mental effort. Ethan learned ...

Complex natural systems defy standard mathematical analysis, so one ecologist is throwing out the equations. Sometimes ecological data just don’t make sense. The sockeye salmon that spawn in British ...

Sometimes ecological data just don’t make sense. The sockeye salmon that spawn in British Columbia’s Fraser River offer a prime example. Scientists have tracked the fishery there since 1948, through ...
