Theory and Applications of Bang-Bang and Singular Control Problems
May 18, 2010
University of British Columbia
We consider optimal control problems with control appearing linearly. The evaluation of the Pontryagin Minimum Principle shows that optimal controls are composed of bang-bang and singular arcs. Values of bang-bang controls switch discontinuously...

Canadian Young Researchers Conference in Mathematics and Statistics
May 18–20, 2010
University of Alberta
The Canadian Young Researchers Conference in Mathematics and Statistics (CYRC) is an annual event that provides a unique forum for young mathematicians across Canada to present their research and to collaborate with their peers. All young academics...

Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Distinguished Visitor Lecture
May 14, 2010
University of Alberta
We first introduce the background and motivation of Hamiltonian systems and symplectic geometry. The basic ideas and the key steps on developing symplectic geometric algorithms are presented. Applications of symplectic geometric methods for...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Distinguished Visitor Lecture
May 13, 2010
University of Alberta
The size effects at micro/nano-scale are first discussed. The scale invariance and the applications in mathematical modeling at nano-scale is then presented. An important concept such as the scale gap is introduced and we particularly discuss the...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Distinguished Visitor Lecture
May 12, 2010
University of Alberta
We first discuss the scale invariance and electromagnetic modeling at nano-scale. For 3D time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations and 3D time-dependent Maxwell’s equations in composite materials, we presented the multi-scale asymptotic expansions and...
Scientific, Conference
7th Annual Mathematical Biology Workshop: Mathematics of Biological Systems
May 11–21, 2010
University of Alberta
This ten-day workshop, held in early May each year, is designed to introduce approximately 20 undergraduates to the subject of mathematical biology and to give them the tools needed to continue research in mathematical biology. It is the only...

Bayesian Methodologies Seminar: Bayesian Knowledge Representations & the Fusion of Knowledge from Multiple (Conflicting) Sources
May 11, 2010
University of Regina
Graphical models that represent knowledge and uncertainty such as Bayesian networks are popular approaches due to their strong probabilistic semantics and oftentimes intuitive decision modeling capabilities. In this talk, we will examine such...
