7 Discussion Frederic

Taylor's paper is a useful and balanced discussion of the implications of forward-looking behavior for how monetary policy should be conducted. However, he might leave the reader with a misleading impression that the nonmarket clearing, rational expectations approach that he advocates is an outlying position that is not widely accepted. To the contrary, a high, and I think growing, percentage o...

The shock scaffold by Frederic

The Symmetry Set ( ) is the closure of the locus of centers of spheres tangent to smooth surface patches in two or more loci; such bitangent spheres are called “contact spheres.” The Medial Axis ( ) is the subset of the for which all such spheres are maximal, i.e., such that no other contact spheres are contained in them.2 A classification of points was introduced by Giblin and Kimia [6, 7], wh...

Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Close Binary Systems Frederic

Equilibrium uid con gurations for close binary systems can become globally unstable. Instabilities arise from the strong tidal interaction between the two components, which tends to make the e ective two-body potential governing the orbital motion steeper than 1=r. As a result, a circular orbit can become unstable to small radial perturbations. The instability can be either secular or dynamical...
