A Light-Driven Microgel Rotor (2019)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., Koens, L., Lauga, E., Mourran, A., & Möller, M. (2019). A Light-Driven Microgel Rotor. Small, 15(46), Article 1903379. https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201903379

The current understanding of motility through body shape deformation of micro-organisms and the knowledge of fluid flows at the microscale provides ample examples for mimicry and design of soft microrobots. In this work, a 2D spiral is presented that... Read More about A Light-Driven Microgel Rotor.

The valuation of no-negative equity guarantees and equity release mortgages (2019)
Journal Article
Dowd, K., Blake, D., Buckner, D., & Fry, J. (2019). The valuation of no-negative equity guarantees and equity release mortgages. Economics letters, 184, Article 108669. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2019.108669

We outline the valuation process for a No-Negative Equity Guarantee in an Equity Release Mortgage loan and for an Equity Release Mortgage that has such a guarantee. Illustrative valuations are provided based on the Black ’76 put pricing formula and m... Read More about The valuation of no-negative equity guarantees and equity release mortgages.

Method of regularised stokeslets: Flow analysis and improvement of convergence (2019)
Journal Article
Zhao, B., Lauga, E., & Koens, L. (2019). Method of regularised stokeslets: Flow analysis and improvement of convergence. Physical Review Fluids, 4(8), Article 084104. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.4.084104

Since their development in 2001, regularised stokeslets have become a popular numerical tool for low-Reynolds number flows since the replacement of a point force by a smoothed blob overcomes many computational difficulties associated with flow singul...

Algebra, matrices, and computers (2019)
Journal Article
Detinko, A., Flannery, D., & Hulpke, A. (2019). Algebra, matrices, and computers. Snapshots of modern mathematics from Oberwolfach, 5, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.14760/SNAP-2019-005-EN

What part does algebra play in representing the real world abstractly? How can algebra be used to solve hard mathematical problems with the aid of modern computing technology? We provide answers to these questions that rely on the theory of matrix gr... Read More about Algebra, matrices, and computers.

The strong approximation theorem and computing with linear groups (2019)
Journal Article
Detinko, A. S., Flannery, D. L., & Hulpke, A. (2019). The strong approximation theorem and computing with linear groups. Journal of Algebra, 529, 536-549. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jalgebra.2019.04.011

We obtain a computational realization of the strong approximation theorem. That is, we develop algorithms to compute all congruence quotients modulo rational primes of a finitely generated Zariski dense group for . More generally, we are able to com...

Practical computation with linear groups over infinite domains (2019)
Book Chapter
Detinko, A. S., & Flannery, D. L. (2019). Practical computation with linear groups over infinite domains. In C. Campbell, C. Parker, M. Quick, E. Robertson, & C. Roney-Dougal (Eds.), Groups St Andrews 2017 in Birmingham (261-270). Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108692397.011

We survey recent progress in computing with finitely generated linear groups over infinite fields, describing the mathematical background of a methodology applied to design practical algorithms for these groups. Implementations of the algorithms have... Read More about Practical computation with linear groups over infinite domains.

Would two-stage scoring models alleviate bank exposure to bad debt? (2019)
Journal Article
Abdou, H. A., Mitra, S., Fry, J., & El Amer, A. (2019). Would two-stage scoring models alleviate bank exposure to bad debt?. Expert Systems with Applications, 128, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2019.03.028

The main aim of this paper is to investigate how far applying suitably conceived and designed credit scoring models can properly account for the incidence of default and help improve the decision-making process. Four statistical modelling techniques,... Read More about Would two-stage scoring models alleviate bank exposure to bad debt?.

Berry-Esseen bounds in the inhomogeneous Curie-Weiss model with external field (2019)
Journal Article
Dommers, S., & Eichelsbacher, P. (online). Berry-Esseen bounds in the inhomogeneous Curie-Weiss model with external field. Stochastic processes and their applications, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spa.2019.02.007

We study the inhomogeneous Curie-Weiss model with external field, where the inhomo-geneity is introduced by adding a positive weight to every vertex and letting the interaction strength between two vertices be proportional to the product of their wei...

Takeover deterrents and Cross Partial Ownerships: the case of golden shares (2019)
Journal Article
Serbera, J.-P., & Fry, J. (2019). Takeover deterrents and Cross Partial Ownerships: the case of golden shares. Managerial and decision economics : MDE, 40(3), 243-250. https://doi.org/10.1002/mde.2998

We analyse takeovers in an industry with bilateral capital-linked firms in cross partial ownership (CPO). Before merger, CPO reduces the profitability of involved firms, confirming the “outsider effect.” However, the impact of CPO upon merger profita...
