The Kakeya problem

Posted on 6/29/14 in Research Articles

Submitted by Larry Guth (MIT) The Kakeya problem is an open problem in Euclidean geometry, and it was a central theme in the 2014 IPAM long program, Algebraic Techniques for Combinatorial and Computational Geometry. It is elementary to state, but it’s also a model for […]

Multiscale representation of macromolecular motion

Posted on 5/18/11 in Research Articles

How many variables do we need to describe macromolecular motion? The answer depends on the time and length scale of interest. By analyzing the geometry of the space defined by long molecular dynamics trajectories of macromolecular systems, we find that different regions of the configurational […]
