How does a coin toss? A look under an asymptotic microscope
Jithin D. George
Is flipping a coin a deterministic process or a random one? We do not allow bounces. If we know the initial velocity and the spin given to the coin, mechanics should predict the fa…
Shoaling on Steep Continental Slopes: Relating Transmission and Reflection Coefficients to Green's Law
Jithin D. George, David I. Ketcheson, Randall J. LeVeque
The propagation of long waves onto a continental shelf is of great interest in tsunami modeling and other applications where understanding the amplification of waves during shoalin…
A path integral method for solution of the wave equation with continuously-varying coefficients
Jithin D. George, David I. Ketcheson, Randall J. LeVeque
A new method of solution is proposed for solution of the wave equation in one space dimension with continuously-varying coefficients. By considering all paths along which informati…
Estimating speech from lip dynamics
Jithin Donny George, Ronan Keane, Conor Zellmer
The goal of this project is to develop a limited lip reading algorithm for a subset of the English language. We consider a scenario in which no audio information is available. The…
