How should a large floating flywheel be operated to store offshore renewable energy profitably?

The authors show that, when accounting for hydrodynamic drag, wind forcing and fluctuating electricity prices, optimal operation typically reduces to a simple rule: maintain an almost constant rotational speed and switch between charging and discharging at a critical electricity price.

A fascinating example of how mathematical modelling can help optimise renewable energy storage and support the transition to more sustainable energy systems.

Large-scale energy storage is increasingly required to support offshore renewable generation, motivating interest in floating mechanical storage systems. Here we study the large-scale storage of kinetic energy via a floating offshore flywheel. We develop a simple mathematical model for the flywheel....

Call for Papers for a Special Issue in the Journal of Mathematical Sciences:
Women in Mathematics in the Caucasus.

Submission deadline: 28 February 2027.

We are pleased to announce this Springer Nature Special Issue in the Journal of Mathematical Sciences, dedicated to highlighting the achievements and contributions of women mathematicians across the Caucasus region with a special focus on Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

At the International Conference of the Georgian Mathematical Union, held in Batumi in early September, our Publisher, Tatiana Golea, had the pleasure of meeting the Guest Editors, Tinatin Davitashvili, Dali Makharadze, and Nino Partsvania, representing Georgia in this Special Issue, and discussing this inspiring initiative.

📘 New Book Release!

We're excited to announce the publication of the 2nd Edition of Mathematics of Epidemics on Networks: From Exact to Approximate Models by István Z. Kiss, Joel C. Miller, Grzegorz A. Rempała, and Péter L. Simon.

This extensively updated textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematics of epidemic spreading on networks, bringing together ideas from epidemiology, graph theory, stochastic processes, and dynamical systems within a unified mathematical framework.

🔹 Expanded from 11 to 15 chapters
🔹 New coverage of stochastic models, statistical inference, Bayesian methods, and complex contagions
🔹 Explores higher-order network structures and modern theoretical advances
🔹 Includes exercises, simulation algorithms, and online code resources
🔹 Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in mathematics, data science, epidemiology, and network science

Part of the Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics series (Volume 46), this new edition bridges the gap between model development and rigorous mathematical foundations, helping readers understand how exact and approximate epidemic models relate to one another.

Whether you're studying disease dynamics, network science, or stochastic processes, this book is an invaluable resource for both learning and research.

How can you optimise the process parameters for extrusion-based 3D printing without trial and error?
This work develops a mathematical model that leverages the physics of shear-thinning materials to predict the dimensions of printed filaments, helping engineers identify a window of printability before printing begins. By reducing reliance on trial-and-error experimentation, the model offers a more efficient route to achieving high-fidelity 3D-printed constructs.

Bioprinting enables fabrication of three-dimensional, patient-specific, tissue-like structures, for which printing resolution and printability are key determinants of construct fidelity. Achieving consistent control of printed filament dimensions remains challenging due to its strong dependence on i...

JSTP Cassyni webinar – speaker Mahlet Tadesse of Georgetown University presenting on “Variable selection in mixture of Gaussian process regression models”

Tomorrow, Sept 3 at 10am New York time

High-dimensional data often have latent cluster structure. A large proportion of the measured features tend to be noise and obscure this structure. Feature selection is therefore not only a matter of parsimony but a necessity to uncover the cluster structure and identify component-specific releva...

⭐ Editor's Pick from the Journal of Engineering Mathematics
Why does scaffold design matter in tissue engineering? Better-designed scaffolds can support faster, more efficient tissue growth while balancing factors such as time and material costs.

This Editors' Pick presents a mathematical model that simulates cell proliferation within porous tissue-engineering scaffolds and identifies candidate geometries for different design priorities. The findings provide recommendations for optimizing scaffold structures, whether the goal is maximizing tissue growth, minimizing development time, or reducing costs.

We develop a mathematical model to predict the most effective design of porous tissue-engineering scaffolds and analyze the choice of values for input parameters such as channel radius, shear stress, nutrient concentration, and nutrient flow pressure, while assuming a constant inlet flux of suspende...
