Abstract: In this note, we consider the problem of privacy preservation in consensus for general linear multiagent systems, where the system matrices and input and state trajectories are all private ...

Ostrich eggs are huge. Big enough, in fact, for ancient humans to use them as primitive writing surfaces for showcasing their mathematical prowess, according to a new study. The paper, published ...

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious competition featuring talented high school students from around the world, in which competitors solve complicated mathematical problems.

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

The mirror spider can rapidly shift a patchwork of minuscule reflective plates underneath its abdomen’s outer surface, altering the pattern of mirrorlike flashes. This uncommon display comes from ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Your browser does not support the audio element. The ECM’s elliptic curves are complex and challenging to visualize. However, they carry out essential calculations ...

The geometric bob is sharp, architectural, and defined by clean angles—think precision lines and modernist design. In general, it works best on oval, square, and heart-shaped faces with straight or ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...
