J. Durech, D. Vokrouhlicky, A. R. Baransky +28

The spin state of small asteroids can change on a long timescale by the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect, the net torque that arises from anisotropically scatter…

Chaotic properties of Coulomb-interacting circular billiards

J. Solanpaa, J. Nokelainen, P. J. J. Luukko +1

We apply a molecular dynamics scheme to analyze classically chaotic properties of a two-dimensional circular billiard system containing two Coulomb-interacting electrons. As such,…

A general framework for island systems

Stephan Foldes, Eszter K. Horváth, Sándor Radeleczki +1

The notion of an island defined on a rectangular board is an elementary combinatorial concept that occurred first in [G. Czédli, The number of rectangular islands by means of distr…

Stock Price Dynamics and Option Valuations under Volatility Feedback Effect

Juho Kanniainen, Robert Piché

According to the volatility feedback effect, an unexpected increase in squared volatility leads to an immediate decline in the price-dividend ratio. In this paper, we consider the…

Scaling in the correlation energies of two-dimensional artificial atoms

Alexander Odriazola, Mikko M Ervasti, Ilja Makkonen +4

We find an unexpected scaling in the correlation energy of artificial atoms, i.e., harmonically confined two-dimensional quantum dots. The scaling relation is found through extensi…
