Iskander Aliev A sharp lower bound for the Frobenius number Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (1849–1917) raised the following problem: given N positive integers a1, . . . , aN with gcd(a1, . . . , aN ) = 1, find the largest natural number gN = gN (a1, . . . , aN) (called the Frobenius

First Year at Banff International Research Station

brings to the institute a strong academic standing , excellent administrative and leadership experience, and a far-reaching international network of scientists. I am sitting in the beautiful westward-facing dining room at the Banff Centre, watching the sun set gloriously into the Rocky Mountains. Even with it all in front of me, it is still hard to grasp the reality that the mathematicians of W...

Computational Hydraulics

The aim is to give an understanding of the numerical approximation and solution of physical systems, especially in open channel hydraulics, but with more general application in hydraulics and fluid mechanics generally. The marriage of hydraulics and computations has not always been happy, and often unnecessarily complicated methods have been developed and used, when a little more computational ...

Leaf hydraulics.

Leaves are extraordinarily variable in form, longevity, venation architecture, and capacity for photosynthetic gas exchange. Much of this diversity is linked with water transport capacity. The pathways through the leaf constitute a substantial (>or=30%) part of the resistance to water flow through plants, and thus influence rates of transpiration and photosynthesis. Leaf hydraulic conductance (...
