Stochastic Numerical Methods for Singular Models

Description In this lecture we will show examples coming from Biology, Finance, Physics, for which relevant stochastic models present singularities. We will explain why these singularities generate...

Convergence in Monotone and Uniformly Stable Skew-Product Semiflows with Applications

Description In this talk, beginning with the classical comparison principles in ODEs, PDES and FDEs, the concept of monotone dynamical system is introduced. Then its basic properties and the generic...

Wu's Mass Postulate and Approximate Solutions of fKdV Equation

Speaker Sam Shen Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada http://www.ualberta.ca/~shen/ Abstract Wu's remarkable finding of upstream-advancing...

Symmetry Studies

Description Abstract In this seminar I will outline the theory and methods of symmetry studies, including the notions of structured data and data reduction by symmetrically equivalent components. I...

Turbulent Mixing and Beyond

Description Abstract Whenever fluids of different densities are accelerated against the density gradient we observe the development of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI), which causes extensive...

Numerical Integration in High Dimensions using Digital Nets

Pattern Detection for Point Processes

Description Abstract To understand how the brain processes information, it is often necessary to search for neural activity that exhibits certain patterns. This is in particular important for the...

Random Geometric Graph Diameter in the Unit Ball

Weak Numerical Schemes for Stochastic Differential Equations in Geophysics

Abstract In the past few decades, scientists studying the partial differential equations used to describe the dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans in weather and climate models have become...
