(0,1)-matrices are, in particular, nonnegative matrices, and so the Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matrices applies to them. Thus they have a nonnegative eigenvalue that is at least as large as the magnitude of all other eigenvalues...

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria will host the Spring 2011 Cascade Topology Seminar.

The conference is on the theory and application of discrete structures. The following are some of the topics which will be discussed: graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets, designs, coding theory, enumeration, combinatorics of...

This workshop will involve researchers in applied PDEs and optimal transportation, with special focus on applications in fluid dynamics and waves in atmospheric science. The workshop will include three mini-courses, as well as talks, on topics from...

Talks will be given over the three days of the event, including one hour plenary talks, half hour invited talks and twenty minute student talks. There will also be a poster session, research discussion sessions where students and experts can interact...

Founded by Israel Halperin in the early 1970's, the Canadian Operator Symposium will be held for the 39th time next spring in Victoria. The overall goals of the meeting have traditionally been threefold: to bring in international leaders in the field...

"Fun" methods to teach math and computer science concepts to children (and adults!) by games and art will be demonstrated. Lots of hands-on activities! A Sorting Network An Impossible Balancing Act Bubbles Mathematical Puzzles The Guessing Game...

Abstract: We begin by outlining the standard ideas of robust estimation of an unknown parameter (e.g., the mean of a normal distribution) under contamination by an unknown distribution. The basic concepts of ``contamination models'', ``asymptotic...
