Adaptive Poisson Disorder Problem
SpeakerErhan BayraktarUniversity of Michiganhttp://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~erhan/ Description We study the quickest detection problem of a sudden change in the arrival rate of a Poisson process from a...
Large Deviations for Markov Processes and Related Variational Problems
Description Large deviation estimates are probabilistic limit theorems which are used to describe atypical behavior of random systems. Markov processes are a rich class of probabilistic models. Their...
A Geometric Method for Automatic Extraction of Sulcal Fundi
Description Sulcal fundi are 3D curves that lie in the depths of the cerebral cortex and are often used as landmarks for downstream computations in brain image processing. In this talk, a sequence of...
Computing Accurate Eigenvalues of Structured and Random Matrices
SpeakerPlamen KoevMassachusetts Institute of Technologyhttp://www-math.mit.edu/~plamen/ Description Biologists often face the following problem: Given a set of taxa and information about them-which...
Complexities of the Phylogeny Reconstruction Problem
SpeakerLászló SzékelyUniversity of South Carolinahttp://www.math.sc.edu/~szekely/ Description Biologists often face the following problem: Given a set of taxa and information about them-which can be...
Nonlocal Evolution Equations
Description We consider various lattice dynamical systems with long range interaction and related integro-differential evolution equations. Typically, these arise in the modeling of phase transitions...
