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...

Stability of Swirling Flows

Radial basis function theory and applications

Numerical Methods for Elasticity and Incompressible Newtonian Flows

Hamiltonian-preserving schemes for the Liouville equation with discontinuous potentials

SpeakerShi JinUniversity of Wisconsin at Madisonhttp://www.math.wisc.edu/~jin/ Description When numerically solving the Liouville equation with a discontinuous potential, one faces the problem of...

Stochastic Stability of Variable Speed Machining

SpeakerN. Sri NamachchivayaDirector, Nonlinear Systems Group, Aerospace Engineering Dept., UIUChttp://people.ae.illinois.edu/navam/ Description This talk will address the suppression of machine tool...

Math Outside of School

Description Math and teaching. The two go hand in hand, and indeed many math majors go on to scholastic careers. However, there are non-academic positions which require an undergraduate mathematics...

Bounds and comparisons of quasi-Monte Carlo methods in option pricing

Description Complex option pricing problems often require some form of high-dimensional numerical integration. Monte Carlo (MC) methods are often used in these cases to avoid problems of...

Eigenvalue Problems in Nanoscale Material Modeling

SpeakerHong ZhangArgonne National Laboratoryhttp://www.mcs.anl.gov/~hzhang/ Description Together with a group of material scientist, we intend to calculate the atomic and electronic structure of...

Levy modelling of defaultable bonds

Description A market with defaultable bonds modelled by equations with L\'evy noise will be considered during the talk. The main aim is to derive conditions under which the market with defaultable...
