Wachs and White introduced four statistics on restricted growth functions or RGFs. An RGF is a sequence of positive integers $w=w_1w_2\dots w_n$ such that $w_1=1$ and $w_i \leq 1+\maw_1w_2\dots w_{i-1})$. We say that an RGF $w$ avoids $v$ if there is...

This talk is intended for those who, like the speaker, have at some point wondered whether there is a theory of three- or higher-dimensional matrices that parallels matrix theory. A d-dimensional hypermatrix may be viewed as a coordinate...

I will present a general approach for constructing a Markov process that describes the dynamics of a process when one or more observables of this process are observed to fluctuate in time away from their typical values. This will extend some well...

For linear transport equation with diffusive scaling, classical diffusion may fail when the diffusion matrix becomes unbounded, which can be attributed to two reasons. One comes from the heavy tail equilibrium and the other is due to the degenerate...

We present an algorithm for coupling inexpensive low-fidelity model simulations with high-fidelity simulation data of parameterized differential equations. The goal is to grab a "free lunch": simulation accuracy of the high-fidelity model with...

The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For three students from...

Mechanical properties of materials are usually determined by defects, their evolution and interaction. Therefore, the key to design new and better materials than those available nowadays relies on understanding, controlling, and ultimately...

We prove two related concentration inequalities concerning the points of elliptic curves contained within subsets of F_p^2. In particular we investigate the probability of a large difference between the portions of quadratic residues and non-residues...
