We derive a governing equation for a Kelvin wave supported on a vortex line in a Bose-Einstein condensate, in a rotating cylindrically symmetric parabolic trap, where it is assumed that the shape of the vortex line is dominated by the properties of t...

Air-cushioning in impact problems (2013)
Journal Article
Moore, M. R., Ockendon, J. R., & Oliver, J. M. (2013). Air-cushioning in impact problems. IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 78(4), 818-838. https://doi.org/10.1093/imamat/hxt026

This paper concerns the displacement potential formulation of the post-impact influence of an air-cushioning layer on the 2D impact of a liquid half-space by a rigid body. The liquid and air are both ideal and incompressible and attention is focussed... Read More about Air-cushioning in impact problems.

Exogenous and endogenous crashes as phase transitions in complex financial systems (2012)
Journal Article
Fry, J. (2012). Exogenous and endogenous crashes as phase transitions in complex financial systems. European Physical Journal B : Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, 85, Article 405. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjb/e2012-30234-8

In this paper we provide a unifying framework for a set of seemingly disparate models for exogenous and endogenous shocks in complex financial systems. Markets operate by balancing intrinsic levels of risk and return. This remains true even in the mi...

A note on oblique water entry (2012)
Journal Article

A minor error in Howison et al. (J. Eng. Math. 48:321–337, 2004) obscured the fact that the points at which the free surface turns over in the solution of the Wagner model for the oblique impact of a two-dimensional body are directly related to the t...

This paper extends Wagner theory for the ideal, incompressible normal impact of rigid bodies that are nearly parallel to the surface of a liquid half-space. The impactors considered are three-dimensional and have an oblique impact velocity. A formula... Read More about Three-dimensional oblique water-entry problems at small deadrise angles.

Purpose Recent events demonstrate that problems in the banking system pose a significant threat to the health of the global economy. Despite several shortcomings the Basel Accord thus emerges as an attempt to protect banking systems. The purpose of... Read More about Risk management and Basel-Accord-implementation in Pakistan.

Perturbative behavior of a vortex in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (2012)

We derive a set of equations that describes the shape and behavior of a single perturbed vortex line in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Through the use of a matched asymptotic expansion and a unique coordinate transform, a relation for a vortex's velocit...

Gaussian and non-Gaussian models for financial bubbles via econophysics (2011)
Journal Article
Fry, J. (2011). Gaussian and non-Gaussian models for financial bubbles via econophysics. Hyperion International Journal of Econophysics and New Economy, 4(1), 7-22

We develop a rational expectations model of financial bubbles and study how the risk-return interplay is incorporated into prices. We retain the interpretation of the leading Johansen-Ledoit-Sornette model: namely, that the price must raise prior to...

In this paper we employ a Markov-Switching EGARCH model to investigate the dynamic linkage between stock price volatility and exchange rate changes for four emerging countries over the period 1994–2009. Results distinguish between two different regim... Read More about Stock market volatility and exchange rates in emerging countries: A Markov-state switching approach.

We develop a rational expectations model of financial bubbles and study ways in which a generic risk-return interplay is incorporated into prices.

We introduce and study multivariate elliptic processes, thus providing a dynamic counterpart to the (static) multivariate elliptic distributions. We pay special attention to the dynamics for Lévy processes and diffusions. We also discuss discrete ver... Read More about Multivariate Elliptical Processes.

String backgrounds with a local torus fibration such as T-folds are naturally formulated in a doubled formalism in which the torus fibres are doubled to include dual coordinates conjugate to winding number. Here we formulate and explore a generalisat... Read More about Non-geometric backgrounds, doubled geometry and generalised T-duality.
