It looks you need to use other NDSolve options to control the spatial grid size to help NDSolve a little. Trying things, found that by increasing the grid size, now this effect you showed goes away.

The prime number theorem says that the $n$th prime number is $p_n = \Theta(n \log n)$, so the series $\sum_n 1/(p_n \log p_n)$ should converge by comparison to $\sum_n 1/n (\log n)^2$.

The likelihood of an observation $x$ under a gamma distribution is $$L(x | \alpha, \beta) \propto \beta^\alpha x^{\alpha-1} \frac {\exp(-x\beta)} {\Gamma(\alpha)}$$ Suppose I have some observations d from a gamma distribution with unknown shape and reciprocal scale parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ I wish to evaluate $ \...
In a previous post, I presented a case for choosing a non-central version of Fisher’s exact test for most of bioinformatics’ uses of this test. I will now present an implementation of this test in javascript that could easily be embedded in web interfaces. Although javascript is probably the least likely language to im...
A general model (with continuous paths) can be written $$ \frac{dS_t}{S_t} = r_t dt + \sigma_t dW_t^S$$where the short rate $r_t$ and spot volatility $\sigma_t$ are stochastic processes. In the Black-Scholes model both $r$ and $\sigma$ are deterministic functions of time (even constant in the original model). This prod...
The story is about a compact oriented $4$-manifold $X$. In such case, the degree two cohomology $H^2(X,\mathbb{R})$ has a natural non-degenerate symmetric bilinear pairing, given by Poincaré duality. In terms of differential forms, it is simply $\alpha.\beta= \int_X \alpha \wedge \beta$ and in terms of homology, it is ...

I've been coming across the condition "IMFCC: having infinitely many finite conjugacy classes" often in recent times and I was wondering if there is any serious difference between having "IMFCC" and having an infinite centre. More precisely: $\mathbf{Question:}$ Is there a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ which has IM...

In an earlier post, I discussed the basic and most important aspects of Set theory, Functions and Real Number System. In the same, there was a significant discussion about the union and intersection of sets. Restating the facts again, given a collection $ \mathcal{A}$ of sets, the union of the elements of $ \mathcal{A}...
I don't really follow major breakthroughs, but my favorite paper this year was Raphael Zentner's Integer homology 3-spheres admit irreducible representations in $SL_2(\Bbb C)$. It has been known for quite some time, and is a corollary of the geometrization theorem, that much of the geometry and topology of 3-manifolds ...
The issue here is precisely what you mean when you say "regular path $J_t$ of almost complex structures". I am not particularly expert in the theory of holomorphic curves, so I won't comment on that; I expect the situation is precisely analagous to the finite-dimensional setting I will describe below (I'm sure there ar...
Here is a variation of a job-scheduling Problem. Let $J = \{j_1,...j_n\}$ be a set of Jobs for $1 \leq i \leq n$. Given Job length $|j_i|\in \mathbb{N}$, deadline $f_i \in \mathbb{N}$, profit $p_i \ge 0$ and starting-time $s_i \in \mathbb{N}$. I am looking for a greedy approximation factor given that the Job length may...
