Journal ArticleDOI
Uniform asymptotics for polynomials orthogonal with respect to varying exponential weights and applications to universality questions in random matrix theory
TL;DR: In this article, asymptotics for orthogonal polynomials with respect to varying exponential weights wn(x)dx = e−nV(x)-dx on the line as n ∞ were considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to exponential weights
TL;DR: In this paper, asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to weights w(x)dx = e Q(x)-dx on the real line were considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forces for Morphogenesis Investigated with Laser Microsurgery and Quantitative Modeling
M. Shane Hutson,Yoichiro Tokutake,Ming-Shien Chang,James W. Bloor,Stephanos Venakides,Daniel P. Kiehart,Glenn S. Edwards +6 more
TL;DR: The forces that connect the genetic program of development to morphogenesis in Drosophila are investigated and it is found that the bulk of progress toward closure is driven by contractility in supracellular "purse strings" and in the amnioserosa, whereas adhesion-mediated zipping coordinates the forces produced by the purse strings and is essential only for the end stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
New results in small dispersion KdV by an extension of the steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems
Book ChapterDOI
The Small Dispersion Limit of the Korteweg-De Vries Equation
TL;DR: A model of the formation and propagation of dispersive shocks in one space dimension, in which explicit calculation is possible, is given by the initial value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation as discussed by the authors.
