In characteristic zero, the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions QSym is isomorphic to the shuffle algebra of compositions Sh, and isomorphisms between them can be specified via shuffle bases of QSym. We give characterizations of shuffle bases...

Response optimization is a process of identifying the input variable settings that optimize the response. Multistratum design arises naturally in industrial experiments due to the inconvenient and impractical completely randomization. Accounting for...

In this talk, we examine a deterministic particle method for the aggregation- diffusion equation and the Landau equation. Particle method solutions are a linear combination of Dirac delta-functions located at certain points. The weights and locations...

For a successful analysis a suitable representation of data by objects amenable for statistical methods is fundamental. There has been an explosion of applications in which homological representations of data played a significant role. I will present...

Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays are a standard approach for quantifying kinetic parameters in antibody-antigen binding reactions. Classical SPR approaches ignore the bivalent structure of antibodies, and use simplified ODE models to estimate...

A new computational task has been defined and solved over the past 15 years for extended material systems: the analytic fitting of the Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface as a function of nuclear coordinates. The resulting potentials ("force...

ELMACON preparation sessions are free events offered by PIMS in the lead up to the ELMACON contest. Each session is lead by an instructor who will go over problem solving techniques and questions from past exams. For more information please see the...

Hopf algebras are algebras for which one can form the tensor product of two representations. In more abstract terms, this means that their representation category is a tensor category, and all additional required properties of this tensor category...
