Why quintic polynomial equations are not solvable in radicals

Křížek, Michal, Somer, Lawrence (2015)

Application of Mathematics 2015

We illustrate the main idea of Galois theory, by which roots of a polynomial equation of at least fifth degree with rational coefficients cannot general be expressed by radicals, i.e., by the operations + , - , · , : , and · n . Therefore, higher order polynomial equations are usually solved by approximate methods. They can also be solved algebraically by means of ultraradicals.

Wildland fire propagation modelling: A novel approach reconciling models based on moving interface methods and on reaction-diffusion equations

Kaur, Inderpreet, Mentrelli, Andrea, Bosseur, Frederic, Filippi, Jean Baptiste, Pagnini, Gianni (2015)

Application of Mathematics 2015

A novel approach to study the propagation of fronts with random motion is presented. This approach is based on the idea to consider the motion of the front, split into a drifting part and a fluctuating part; the front position is also split correspondingly. In particular, the drifting part can be related to existing methods for moving interfaces, for example, the Eulerian level set method and the Lagrangian discrete event system specification. The fluctuating part is the result of a comprehensive...
