Yosra Barkaoui’s doctoral dissertation in mathematics at the University of Vaasa, Finland, has successfully generalised a fundamental theorem that has been limited to the bounded case. The research ...

For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...

At the University of Vaasa in Finland, mathematician Yosra Barkaoui has successfully generalized a fundamental theorem that had remained confined to “bounded” systems for more than 40 years.

Value flows from knowledge. This has been taught to all of us since we were kids, and it’s the basis of our drive to educate ourselves and to pursue information – something that all professionals do ...

In the standard framework of thermodynamics, work is a random variable whose average is bounded by the change in free energy of the system. This average work is calculated without regard for the size ...
