The volume of traffic on a particular website often follows some pattern such as Time of the Day (TOD) or Day of the Week (DOW) trends. We developed three mathematical models to capture these patterns, so we can predict future volume based on previous data. The first model is based on Fourier transformations [7],[8], andFig. it shows good performance when the main frequency of the wave is relat...

This text is a modified version of a chapter in a PhD thesis [21] submitted to Nottingham University in September 2006, which studied an approach to Hilbert’s twelfth problem inspired by Manin’s proposed theory of Real Multiplication [7]. In [20] we defined and studied a nontrivial notion of line bundles over Quantum Tori. In this text we study sections of these line bundles leading to a study ...

The article discusses the reception of the Platonic concept of memory of ancient deeds in twelfth-century historical writing in the ‘younger Europe’. It focuses on the myth of Atlantis, as described in the translation of Timaeus by Calcidius, illustrating the manner in which two twelfth-century chroniclers – Master Vincentius Kadłubek and Theodoricus Monachus – used the said myth as a structura...

Presidential address for the Twelfth World Congress of the International Economic Association, summarising semi-formally the author's recent work and concerns. Uncertainty and incomplete markets breed demand volatility as well as price and wage rigidities. The conjunction of these leads to multiple, volatile supply-constrained equilibria, typically reflecting coordination failures and apt to di...
