Certain types of fluids do not respond in a linear way to external forces – they are called non-Newtonian fluids. A simple model of a non-Newtonian fluid which is widely
Perturbation methods are used to investigate solutions to mathematical problems in which exact solutions can’t be found but in which there is a parameter whose size (usually very small) allows
Evolutionary algorithms are iterative stochastic optimisation algorithms which achieve approximate solutions of a problem through use of naturally inspired ‘random’ operations such as crossover, mutation and natural selection. They act
Cryptography is an eminently applicable area of mathematics. The problems come in several different flavours and utilise distinct areas of mathematics, giving available projects in at least the following two
Game theory, popularised by von Neumann and Morgenstern in 1944, is used to study a large variety of real-life situations concerning strategic decision making. It models conflict and cooperative strategies
This project will build on recent work that aims to test the security of base problems in lattice-based cryptography. These problems are computational lattice problems (e.g., learning with errors), which
