The run-and-tumble motion of bacteria such as E. Coli can be represented by a kinetic equation considered with an hyperbolic scaling, and a Hopf-Cole transformation that makes the problem become non-linear. It has been proved that the asymptotic...

The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For two students from each...

Introduction to the block element method, a new mathematical method based on high-level mathematics. The method is applicable to boundary value problems for partial differential equations and their systems. The method includes a number of other...

The phrase "non-problems" in the title refers to a collection of adjectives that start with the prefix "non". These include "non-convex", "non-differentiable", "non-traditional", "non-trivial", and "non-stochastic gradient" (as a counter to a topical...

The response of the muscle-tissue unit (MTU) to activation and applied forces is affected by the architectural details as well as the material properties of this nearly-incompressible tissue. We will describe the (highly nonlinear) elastic equations...

The Fq conference is a biannual conference that covers various topics in finite fields including but not limited to: Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields...

The CanaDAM conference will bring together researchers from the various disciplines with which discrete and algorithmic mathematics interact. Particular areas of interest are the following: graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets...

A wide overview of mathematical techniques of interest in various big data problems. Organizers: Cedric Chauve, Mathematics - SFU Tamon Stephen, Mathematics - SFU

Einsteins theory of General Relativity (GR) works remarkably well on Earth and inside our Solar System. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of gravity. One is the long- standing quest for a quantum theory of gravity. The other...

We characterize the intrinsic complexity of a set S in a metric space W by the least dimension N (epsilon) of a linear space V ⊂ W that can approximate S to an epsilon error. We show a scaling law for N (epsilon) for high frequency wave fields in...
