Canards, canard cascades and black swans

Standard Chase on Black Swans and Canards

The paper is devoted to the study of the relationship between integral manifolds of ordinary di erential equations and duck trajectories. We derive su cient conditions for the existence of continuous slow integral surfaces that are devided into stable and unstable parts and propose a method of construction of surfaces consisting of duck trajectories.

Canards, Black Swans and Control of Chemical Reactions

The work is devoted to the investigation of critical phenomena using the geometric theory of singular perturbations, namely, the black swans and canards techniques. The interest to critical phenomena is occasioned by not only of safety reason, in many cases namely the critical regime is the most effective in technological processes. The sense of criticality here is as follows. The critical regi...

Yield of Black Swans

h EXCEPT FOR GETTING your chip to market on time, optimizing yield is perhaps the most important thing we can do to improve IC profitability. We address this problem in several ways: design for manufacturability (DFM) through layout rules, process control, and increasingly clean cleanrooms. In an ideal world, this would solve our yield problems. We know it doesn’t, so we build a diagnostic capa...

Black Swans and white tablets

The Black Swan, a metaphor for highly improbable, high impact events, warns us to understand the limits of our predictions and expect the “unknown unknowns” everywhere, from war to science and industry. From the earliest stages of discovery to post-marketing events, we argue that fundamentally the structure of pharmaceutical industry is driven by and impacted by both positive and negative Black...
