Dr Frohlich is Associate Director of the Institute for Geophysics and Senior Research Scientist in the Jackson School of Geosciences. Following his talk there will be an open panel discussion. Confirmed panelists will include Mirko van der Baan and...

Separating the configuration and velocity measurements was pioneered by Euler in 1750s in his study of the dynamics of rigid body and fluid. This use of ‘nonmaterial velocity’ influenced greatly the development of mechanics. In 1904, Hamel extended...

This talk is about certain dynamical equilibria of curves related to towed cables, sedimenting filaments, and other marine, microfluidic, or industrial structures. I will present analytical results detailing the configurations of a translating and...

The Lie Theory Workshop series of weekend conferences has been meeting several times a year since 1990. Most years the NSF supports graduate students and postdoctoral participants, and the institution at which the workshop takes place also provides...

Peritoneal dialysis is a life saving treatment for chronic patients with end stage renal disease. The peritoneal cavity, an empty space that separates bowels, abdominal muscles and other organs in the abdominal cavity, is applied as a container for...

In order to construct the moduli space of canonical polarized manifolds, three different stability conditions have been introduced, namely, KSBA-stability, K-stabilty and asymptotic GIT stability. In this talk, we try to explore the relations among...

Optimal partial transport is a variant of optimal transport theory, where only a portion of mass is to be transported in an efficient way. It was initially studied by Caffarelli and McCann. I will explain a joint work in progress with Gonzalo Davila...

In this talk we give a review of the approach to multivariable interpolation and approximation using radial basis functions. They are most popular in theory and applications because they provide approximants and interpolants in any space dimension...

Monetary utility functions are -- except for the expected value -- not of von Neumann-Morgenstern type. In case the utility function has convex level sets in the set of probability measures on the real line, we can give some characterisation that...

This talk is about the wavelet frame-based image and video restorations. We start with some of main ideas of wavelet frame based image restorations. Some of applications of wavelet frame based models image analysis and restorations will be shown...
