This talk discusses work of a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering and the Kellogg Eye Institute at the University of Michigan to develop a forecasting tool that assists eye doctors by (a)...

How does mathematical knowledge grow? According to an influential formulation due to philosopher Ernest Nagel, when a scientific theory "reduces" another, the reduced theory is deductively subsumed under the reducing theory: thus for example...

In this talk I will explain basic ideas concerning fractional Laplacians (in particular, their relation with Lévy flights in Probability) and I will present the essential tools to treat nonlinear equations involving fractional Laplacians and other...

We apply a general framework to analyze the influence of system load on service times in queueing systems to EMS systems. The framework unifies previous results and ties them to possible future studies to help empirical and analytical researchers to...

Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace in his 5 volume Traité de mécanique céleste unified mathematical physics by placing calculus front and center. Among Laplace's chief innovations, was an introduction of a differential equation that now bears his name...

Real stable polynomials define real hypersurfaces with special topological structure. These polynomials bound the feasible regions of semidefinite programs and appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and...

Machine learning is a powerful computer science technique that can derive knowledge from big data and make predictions/decisions. Since nanometer VLSI design and manufacturing have extremely high complexity and gigantic data, there is great...

Over $Q$ there do not exist any non-zero abelian varieties with good reduction everywhere. However, over all but six real quadratic fields they actually do exist. In this talk we determine, for certain small real quadratic fields $F$, the set of...

We will introduce the Dynamical Mordell-Lang problem by Ghioca and Tucker. After that, we explain the “orbit intersection problem” for linear spaces and semi-abelian varieties. This is joint work with Ghioca. A video of this event is available on...
