Thin films can be effectively described by the lubrication approximation, in which the equation of motion is ht+(hnhxxx)x=0. Here h is a necessarily positive quantity which represents the height or thickness of the film. Different values of n, especially 1, 2, and 3 correspond to different physical situations. This equation permits solutions in the form of traveling disturbances with a fixed form. If u is the propagation velocity, the resulting equation for the disturbance is uhx=(hnhxxx)x. Here, quantitative and qualitative solutions to the equation are presented. The study has been limited to the intervals in x where the solutions are positive. It is found that transitions between different qualitative behaviors occur at n=3, 2, 3/2, and 1/2. For example, if u is not zero, solitonlike solutions defined on a finite interval are only possible for n<3. More specific results can be obtained. In the case in which the velocity is zero, solitons occur for n<2. For n=1, the region 3/21/2, single-minimum solutions diverging at ±∞ are possible. The generic solution, present for all positive values of n, is a receding front, which diverges at finite x for n<0.

We analyze the low-Reynolds-number translation of a sphere towards or away from a rigid plane in an Oldroyd-B fluid under two scenarios: prescribing the sphere's translational velocity, and prescribing the force on the sphere. Leveraging the lubrication approximation and a perturbation expansion in powers of the Deborah number, we develop a comprehensive theoretical analysis that yields analytical approximations for velocity fields, pressures, and forces acting on the sphere. Our framework aids in understanding temporal microstructural changes as the particle-wall gap evolves over time. In particular, we show that alterations in the polymer conformation tensor in response to geometric changes induce additional forces on the sphere. For cases with prescribed velocity, we present a theoretical approach for calculating resistive forces at any order in the Deborah number and utilize a reciprocal theorem to obtain higher-order corrections based on velocity fields in the previous orders. When the sphere translates with a constant velocity, the fluid viscoelasticity decreases the resistive force at the first order. However, at the second-order correction, the direction of the sphere's movement determines whether viscoelasticity increases or decreases the resistive force. For cases with prescribed force, we show that understanding the influence of viscoelasticity on the sphere's translational velocity necessitates a more intricate analysis even at low Deborah numbers. Specifically, we introduce an ansatz for constant force scenarios, and we derive solution forms for general prescribed forces using the method of multiple scales. We find that when a sphere undergoes sedimentation due to its own weight, the fluid viscoelasticity results in a slower settling process, reducing the leading-order sedimentation rate.

The default of one bank can cause other banks to default through two channels: financial contagion in the inter-bank liability network and fire sale in the asset selling market. When the defaulted bank cannot fully pay its debt, the loss is transmitted to other banks. When banks rush to sell the same asset simultaneously, they may fall into a Nash equilibrium in which banks compete for liquidity and sell their assets at an artificially low price. In this paper, a model that incorporates these two channels is developed and analyzed theoretically. An algorithm for finding the state in which both the inter-bank liability network and the market are in equilibrium is proposed and tested.

Direct numerical simulation techniques are used to study the effect of spontaneous symmetry breaking leading to the phenomenon of large‐scale secondary flow generation by anisotropic small‐scale flow. It is shown that anisotropy is a major factor that determines the ability of the small‐scale flow to generate the inverse energy cascade, that the large‐scale secondary flow is strongly anisotropic—almost unidirectional, and that the helical property of the primary flow is irrelevent. The pairing instability and long‐wave modulation of the subharmonic are important in the process of generation of the large‐scale structure.

In secure multi-party computations (SMC), parties wish to compute a function on their private data without revealing more information about their data than what the function reveals. In this paper, we investigate two Shannon-type questions on this problem. We first consider the traditional one-shot model for SMC which does not assume a probabilistic prior on the data. In this model, private communication and randomness are the key enablers to secure computing, and we investigate a notion of randomness cost and capacity. We then move to a probabilistic model for the data, and propose a Shannon model for discrete memoryless SMC. In this model, correlations among data are the key enablers for secure computing, and we investigate a notion of dependency which permits the secure computation of a function. While the models and questions are general, this paper focuses on summation functions and relies on polar code constructions.
