Editorial: Climate Science: An Invitation for Physicists.

Climate science is rooted in physics and in many of the methods used by physicists. Although it’s a cliché to say that the practice of science changed dramatically with the advent of the digital age, computers have had an enormous impact on the growth and evolution of climate science. Before computing, progress in explaining observations or making predictions in the physical sciences, including...

Invitation to operadic dynamics

Based on the Gerstenhaber Theory it is clarified how operadic dynamics may be introduced. Operadic observables satisfy the Gerstenhaber algebra identities and their time evolution is governed by the Gerstenhaber-Lax or Gerstenhaber-Heisenberg equation. In this way one can describe classical and quantum time evolution of operations. The notion of an operadic Lax pair is introduced as well.

An Invitation to Play

Parity games and their subclasses and variants pop up in various contexts: μ-calculus, tree automata, program verification [3, 1, 8]. Such games provide only binary information indicating the winning player. However, in classical games theory [12] the emphasis is rather on how much we win or lose. Can we incorporate the information about the profits and losses into parity games?
