Why topological data analysis detects financial bubbles?

Samuel W. Akingbade, Marian Gidea, Matteo Manzi, Vahid Nateghi

Summary: This paper presents a heuristic argument for the capacity of Topological Data Analysis (TDA) to detect critical transitions in financial time series. The argument is based on the Log-Periodic Power Law Singularity (LPPLS) model, which characterizes financial bubbles as super-exponential growth (or decay) with increasing oscillations approaching a tipping point. The study shows that whenever the LPPLS model fits the data, TDA generates early warning signals. As an application, the approach is illustrated using positive and negative bubbles in the Bitcoin historical price.

Modeling and consensus of flexible wings with bending deformation and torsion deformation based on partial differential equation model

Weimin Liu, Shiqi Gao, Feng Xu, Yandong Zhao, Yuanqing Xia, Jinkun Liu

Summary: This paper studies the modeling and consensus control of flexible wings with bending and torsion deformation, considering the vibration suppression as well. Unlike most existing multi-agent control theories, the agent system in this study is a distributed parameter system. By considering the mutual coupling between the wing's deformation and rotation angle, the dynamics model of each agent is expressed using sets of partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Boundary control algorithms are designed to achieve control objectives, and it is proven that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. Numerical simulation is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Sampson Davis, Eli Shellabarger, James Miller, Thomas Ward

Summary: The present work focuses on studying the effects of shock wave - boundary layer interaction in 2D hypersonic flow at the sharp leading edge of a flat plate and a flat plate followed by a compression ramp. A key parameter, the hypersonic interaction parameter x, is defined and analyzed using a semi-analytic reduced-order model. The study aims to improve on existing methods by characterizing the viscous boundary layer and investigating the upstream influence resulting from the compression ramp.

Large eddy simulation of tip-leakage cavitating flow around twisted hydrofoil with effects of tip clearance and skew angle

Ying Chen, Longxiang Liu, Jie Li, Zhaoxin Gong, Xin Chen

Summary: In this study, large eddy simulation is used to investigate the tip-leakage flows around hydrofoils with different tip clearance and skew angle. The results show that tip separation vortex (TSV) grows from the entire lower edge of the tip and twines with the tip-leakage vortex (TLV) into a primary vortex tube. Cavitation effect significantly accelerates the roll-up process of the vortices and the tip-leakage flow turns from wake-like to jet-like when the clearance is reduced. The skewness of the hydrofoil has a significant effect on the laminar-turbulent transition of the flow.

Furthermore, through the analysis of local stability and global stability, the equilibrium points of rumor spreading are thoroughly examined. In addition, this study discusses the forward and backward bifurcation phenomena and optimal control problem, which are seldom addressed in the bilingual environment. Numerical simulations are conducted to verify the accuracy of the main results.

Exponential H. filtering for complex-valued uncertain discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays

G. Soundararajan, G. Nagamani, Ardak Kashkynbayev

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to design a compatible filter for a class of classical discrete-time neural networks, addressing the uncertain complex-valued weighting parameters and time-varying delayed responses subject to the H. performance measure. The proposed complex-valued filter scheme and the derived inequalities provide a more precise linearized lower bound for the quadratic summing terms. The sufficient conditions based on linear matrix inequalities are proposed for designing a robust H. filter, and the applicability and efficiency of the proposed scheme are demonstrated through numerical examples and simulation outcomes.

Augmenting Granger Causality through continuous ordinal patterns

Massimiliano Zanin

Summary: We propose a novel methodology based on continuous ordinal patterns to preprocess time series and uncover the non-linear temporal structures within them. Through synthetic and real-world examples, we demonstrate how this transformation overcomes a major limitation of the Granger Causality test and efficiently detects non-linear causality relations without any prior assumptions. We also show that this transformation can be optimized based on the specific time series under study, or random ordinal patterns can be used to achieve good results, similar to Reservoir Computing.

An analysis on the optimal control results for second-order Sobolev-type delay differential inclusions of Clarke's subdifferential type

M. Johnson, V. Vijayakumar

Summary: In this paper, we study the existence and optimal control results for second-order Sobolev type delay systems with Clarke's subdifferential type. The existence of a mild solution is established for the proposed second-order delay differential system using the novel ideas of Clarke's subdifferential. The fixed point theorem of condensing multi-valued maps, the strongly continuous cosine family, and the properties of Clarke's subdifferential are used to establish the existence of a mild solution. Moreover, the existence of an optimal control pair governed by the presented system is verified through Balder's theorem. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the main results.

Solidification of a liquid drop enclosing a bubble on an inclined surface

Nang X. Ho, Truong V. Vu

Summary: The present paper reports numerical results on the solidification process of a hollow drop on an inclined surface. The drop undergoes deformation and forms an asymmetric tip as the surface angle increases. The solidification time, however, is not affected by the surface angle. The fluid accumulates at the bottom of the drop and the bubble moves upwards before being trapped by solidification. A larger bubble reduces the tip shift. The effect of Bond number and Stefan number on solidification is also considered.
