  • Discovery of unstable singularity with machine precision

    CMSA 20 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 United States

    New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Yongji Wang, NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Title: Discovery of unstable singularity with machine precision Abstract: Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial […]

  • Mathematical foundations of AI
