A Shape-Newton method for free-boundary problems subject to the Bernoulli boundary condition (2024)
Journal Article
Fan, Y., Billingham, J., & van der Zee, K. (2024). A Shape-Newton method for free-boundary problems subject to the Bernoulli boundary condition. SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 46(6), A3599-A3627. https://doi.org/10.1137/23M1590263

We develop a shape-Newton method for solving generic free-boundary problems where one of the free-boundary conditions is governed by the nonlinear Bernoulli equation. The method is a Newton-like scheme that employs shape derivatives of the governing... Read More about A Shape-Newton method for free-boundary problems subject to the Bernoulli boundary condition.

Touchdown-singularity formation and criticality in the thin-film equation (2024)
Journal Article
King, J. R., & Bowen, M. (in press). Touchdown-singularity formation and criticality in the thin-film equation. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences,

The thin-film equation, ht = −(h n hxxx)x, is significant physically in the description of surface-tension-driven flows of thin films of viscous liquids and has served an important role mathematically in elucidating the properties and challenges of h...

Laplace-based strategies for Bayesian optimal experimental design with nuisance uncertainty (2024)
Journal Article
Bartuska, A., Espath, L., & Tempone, R. (2025). Laplace-based strategies for Bayesian optimal experimental design with nuisance uncertainty. Statistics and Computing, 35(1), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11222-024-10544-z

Finding the optimal design of experiments in the Bayesian setting typically requires estimation and optimization of the expected information gain functional. This functional consists of one outer and one inner integral, separated by the logarithm fun...

Probabilistic size-and-shape functional mixed models (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, F., Bharath, K., Chkrebtii, O., & Kurtek, S. (2024, December). Probabilistic size-and-shape functional mixed models. Presented at Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, Vancouver, Canada

The reliable recovery and uncertainty quantification of a fixed effect function µ in a functional mixed model, for modelling population-and object-level variability in noisily observed functional data, is a notoriously challenging task: variations al...

An Introduction to p-adic L-functions (2024)
Journal Article
Rodrigues Jacinto, J., & Williams, C. (in press). An Introduction to p-adic L-functions. Essential Number Theory,

These expository notes introduce p-adic L-functions and the foundations of Iwasawa theory. We focus on Kubota Leopoldt's p-adic analogue of the Riemann zeta function, which we describe in three di erent ways. We rst present a measure-theoretic (anal...
