On the Glitch Phenomenon
Leslie Lamport, Richard Palais
The Principle of the Glitch states that for any device which makes a discrete decision based upon a continuous range of possible inputs, there are inputs for which it will take arb…
PointClouds: Distributing Points Uniformly on a Surface
Richard Palais, Bob Palais, Hermann Karcher
The concept of a Point Cloud has played an increasingly important role in many areas of Engineering, Science, and Mathematics. Examples are: LIDAR, 3D-Printing, Data Analysis, Comp…
The Initial Value Problem for Weakly Nonlinear PDE
Richard S. Palais
We will discuss an extension of the pseudospectral method developed by Wineberg, McGrath, Gabl, and Scott for the numerical integration of the KdV initial value problem. Our genera…
The Symmetries of Solitons
Richard S. Palais
This paper is an expository account of the development of soliton mathematics, from its inception in famous numerical experiments of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam and Zabusky-Kruskal to the rec…
