While spectral methods for the numerical solution of PDEs with smooth solutions offer the great advantage of high accuracy, they are typically poorly suited for solving problems with nonsmooth or sharply peaked solutions. This is in great part due to...

Individual biological cells make decisions as to where to go for food, when and how to divide, and when to engage in cooperative activities. These choices must be made by nonlinear dynamical systems often buffeted by large stochastic fluctuations...

Sheaves and their Realization: The goal of this talk is to describe the sheaf model for the infinite loop space of the Thom spectrum. Since the main theorem of Galatius, Madsen, Tillmann, Weiss is that this sheaf model is homotopy equivalent to the...

We construct new smooth CY 3-folds with 1-dimensional Kaehler moduli by pfaffian method and determine their fundamental topological invariants. The existence of CY 3-folds with the computed invariants was previously conjectured by C. van Enckevort...

Given a nonzero integer d and a positive integer n we know, by Hermite's Theorem, that there exist only finitely many degree n number fields of discriminant d. It is thus natural to ask whether there are refinements of the discriminant which...

The boundary rigidity problem consists in determining the Riemannian metric of a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary by measuring the lengths of geodesics joining points of the boundary. The lens rigidity problem consists in determining the...

Give Aboriginal students the tools to become problem solvers! In this workshop you will learn a variety of effective methods, including the Bar Model method, which helps develop in students a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts in...

Delay is one of the most important performance measures of a communication system. In scenarios as different as mobile, ad hoc, wireless networks and content distribution networks, delay is caused by seemingly very different random phenomena, which...

Multiplicative differential forms are relevant whenever considering an object with a smooth groupoid of symmetries. One can ask what is the corresponding infinitesimal object, and in fact some of the most important examples arise from this direction...
