### Analogies between physics and packet-switched networks

Suppose two entities in a communication networks (sender and receiver) are connected with a tube so that water can be pumped from the sender to the receiver. If we also assume that between sender and ...

### Irregular events within an otherwise cyclic time series

(I have asked the same question on math.stackexchange, but I figured that physicists might actually be more likely to have encountered the same problem before.) I am considering a time series with a ...

### Approximating a first order ODE when the Hessian is available [closed]

I'm attempting to numerically approximate a simple ODE, I'm using it to describe the motion of a gradient descent search, but it could easily have physical interpretation. In particular,  x'(t) = ...
