Predicting homogeneous coefficients of random heterogeneous materials involves solving auxiliary problems in volume elements. The accuracy of homogeneous coefficients depends not only on the size of the volume elements, but also on the boundary...

The subject area of Positivity is concerned with order structures in Analysis. It goes back to F. Riesz and H. Freudenthal, and to the Nobel prize winning work of L. Kantorovich. The last few years have seen rapid advances of multiple modern areas of...

We invite you to participate in the 11th Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis (Americas XI) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, from August 12-19, 2017. The XI Americas Conference brings together mathematicians...

A summer school for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will held during the first three days of the Americas XI conference (August 12-14, 2017). Tutorial lectures are given by experts in differential equations and nonlinear analysis Tutorial...

This talk describes our attempt to attack two longstanding problems in the model dimensionality (order) when criteria that are based on eigen-decomposition of target matrices are used in practice. First, due to the existence of some dominating...

Stochastic fluctuations in temperature, precipitation and a host of other environmental factors occur at multiple spatial and temporal scales. As the survival and reproduction of organisms, whether they be plants, animals, or viruses, depend on these...

When a sequence of numbers is slowly converging and when it is impossible to have access to the process producing it, it can be transformed, by a sequence transformation, into a new sequence which, under some assumptions, converges faster to the same...

We will discuss the concept of the general monotonicity of sequences/functions. Some applications to various problems of harmonic analysis and approximation theory will be considered.

Midpoint rule is a numerical integrator for ordinary differential equations. When used to simulate mechanical systems, it may reveal various structure-preserving features, such as symplecticity. The talk will discuss the variational origins and...

The Sixth G. J. Butler International Conference on Differential Equations and Population Biology will be held on the University of Alberta campus, Edmonton, from July 23-27, 2018. This conference in the memory of our late colleague, Geoffrey James...
