PIMS - SFU Distinguished Speaker in Applied & Computational Mathematics: Ann Almgren
Low Mach number equation sets approximate the equations of motion of a compressible fluid by filtering out the sound waves, which allows the system to evolve on the advective rather than the acoustic time scale. Depending on the degree of...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Michael Friedlander
The aim of structured optimization is to assemble a solution, using a given set of atoms, to fit a model to data. Polarity, which generalizes the notion of orthogonality from linear sets to general convex sets, plays a special role in a simple and...

SFU Theory Seminar: Eugenia Ternovska
A challenge in descriptive complexity is to identify logics with low complexity that simultaneously express both fundamental reachability properties and counting properties on unordered structures. In this talk, we introduce a family of logics that...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Boris Hanin
Neural networks are remarkable families of non-linear functions that form the backbone for state-of-the-art algorithms in tasks from computer vision (self-driving cars), natural language processing (Google Translate) and reinforcement learning...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Laura Thesing
This talk will focus on two topics in the foundations of neural networks: computability and false structures. In the first part I will recall briefly the concept of recursive functions and then discuss the gap between existence results, the...

SFU Theory Seminar: Vaishak Belle
We consider the problem of answering queries about formulas of first-order logic based on background knowledge partially represented explicitly as other formulas, and partially represented as examples independently drawn from a fixed probability...

SFU Discrete Math Seminar: Joris van der Hoeven
In this first talk out of two, I will review various well-known algorithms for integer multiplication, such as schoolbook multiplication, Karatsuba multiplication, FFT multiplication, and the Schoenhage-Strassen algorithm. The talk will also be an...

PIMS - SFU Distinguished Discrete Math talk: Joris van der Hoeven
This is the second of a two-part talk. In talk one, I will review various well-known algorithms for integer multiplication, such as schoolbook multiplication, Karatsuba multiplication, FFT multiplication, and the Schoenhage-Strassen algorithm. The...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
SFU Theory Seminar: Jason Schoeters
The talk starts with a short survey on a mathematical game known as Racetrack, in which a vehicle moves in discrete rounds and can slightly modify its movement vector every round. The goal is to minimize the amount of rounds needed to attain some...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Dr. Brian R. Wetton
Results on a two way convection-diffusion problem; an asymptotic error analysis on a piece-wise uniform grid; and a framework for understanding quadrature errors in Finite Element Methods are presented. These results were never published, although I...
