Quantifying speculative-bubble effects in major European soccer leagues (2025)
Journal Article
Fry, J., & Binner, J. (2025). Quantifying speculative-bubble effects in major European soccer leagues. Economics letters, 248, Article 112208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2025.112208

We apply the theory of super-exponential rational bubbles to football transfer data. Refining previous qualitative approaches we model the aggregate transfer spend as a fraction of the TV income. Evidence of substantial bubble effects is found across... Read More about Quantifying speculative-bubble effects in major European soccer leagues.

Elementary econometric and strategic analysis of curling matches (2024)
Journal Article
Fry, J., Austin, M., & Fanzon, S. (online). Elementary econometric and strategic analysis of curling matches. Managerial Finance, https://doi.org/10.1108/MF-06-2024-0467

Purpose: We develop a Markov model of curling matches. This enables strategic and econometric analyses to be performed alongside computer simulation work. Design/methodology/approach: We develop a Markov model of curling matches, parametrised by the... Read More about Elementary econometric and strategic analysis of curling matches.

Effects of ambient temperature on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality in highly polluted region (2024)
Journal Article
Yap Chung, C., Yang, J., Yang, X., & He, J. (2024). Effects of ambient temperature on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality in highly polluted region. Urban Climate, 58, Article 102163

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies have established a clear connection between ambient air pollution, extreme temperatures, and an increased risk of mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, limited research has be... Read More about Effects of ambient temperature on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality in highly polluted region.

Customer satisfaction scores: new models to estimate (2024)
Journal Article
Fry, J., & Brint, A. (2025). Customer satisfaction scores: new models to estimate. Tourism Management, 106, Article 105030. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tourman.2024.105030

In this paper we develop new models for the distribution of customer satisfaction scores. This leads to new approaches for estimating the number of fake reviews in empirical data. Modifications of the basic model are presented that account for the pr... Read More about Customer satisfaction scores: new models to estimate.

The impact of vaccination strategy on the spatiotemporal pattern dynamics of a COVID-19 epidemic model (2024)
Journal Article
Sekerci, Y., & Khoshnaw, S. H. (2024). The impact of vaccination strategy on the spatiotemporal pattern dynamics of a COVID-19 epidemic model. European Physical Journal Plus, 139(2), Article 174. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/s13360-024-04944-3

In the last 3 years, mathematical modelling and computational simulations have been used to discuss and estimate key transmission parameters of the spreading COVID-19 pandemics. There are several major factors that have played a crucial role in contr... Read More about The impact of vaccination strategy on the spatiotemporal pattern dynamics of a COVID-19 epidemic model.

Fractional approach to evolution of the magnetic field lines near the magnetic null points (2024)
Journal Article
Durmaz, H., Özdemir, Z., & Sekerci, Y. (2024). Fractional approach to evolution of the magnetic field lines near the magnetic null points. Physica Scripta, 99(2), Article 025239. https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/ad1c7e

In this work, the magnetic reconnection model near null points in 3D space will be investigated using fractional calculations in the 3D magnetohydrodynamic framework. For the initial magnetic configuration (without external currents), we reformulated... Read More about Fractional approach to evolution of the magnetic field lines near the magnetic null points.

Viscous tubular-body theory for plane interfaces (2024)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Walker, B. J. (2024). Viscous tubular-body theory for plane interfaces. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 979, Article A38. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.1085

Filaments are ubiquitous within the microscopic world, occurring in biological and industrial environments and displaying a varied dynamics. Their wide range of applications has spurred the development of a branch of asymptotics focused on the behavi... Read More about Viscous tubular-body theory for plane interfaces.

The slow viscous flow around a general rectangular doubly-periodic arrays of infinite slender cylinders (2023)
Journal Article
Koens, L., Vernekar, R., Krüger, T., Lisicki, M., & Inglis, D. W. (2023). The slow viscous flow around a general rectangular doubly-periodic arrays of infinite slender cylinders. IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 88(6), 869-887. https://doi.org/10.1093/imamat/hxae003

The slow viscous flow through a doubly-periodic array of cylinders does not have an analytical solution. However, as a reduced model for the flow within fibrous porous media and microfluidic arrays, this solution is important for many real-world syst...
