Pattison Food Group Ltd., encompassing Save-On-Food, Nester’s Market, and over a dozen other grocery brands, stands as a leading provider of food and health products in Western Canada. In this presentation, Benny Wai, Data & Analytics Manager at PFG...

In this talk, we study the performance of some preconditioners for accelerating the convergence of Krylov subspace methods for solving linear systems of equations with a block three-by-three structure. A brief discussion is included regarding how...

Derivative-free optimization (DFO) methods are a class of optimization methods that do not use the derivatives of the objective or constraint functions. Model-based DFO methods are an important class of DFO methods that are known to struggle with...

In this talk I will discuss recent work resolving Buchi's problem, which has implications for Hilbert's Tenth Problem. In particular, we show that if there is a tuple of five integer squares (x12,x22,x32,x42,x52)(x12​,x22​,x32​,x42​,x52​)xi+22−2xi+12...

Every curve has an abelian variety associated to it, called the Jacobian. Poincaré's total reducibility theorem states that any abelian variety is isogenuous to a product of simple abelian varieties. We are interested to know this decomposition for...

The SFU Statistical Learning for Large Scale Data conference aims to promote the presentation and discussion on the latest progress in statistical learning for large-scale data. It empowers organizations and researchers to harness the vast amount of...

The event will be a half-day event at SFU Harbour Center, featuring three speakers: Professor Giang Tran, U. Waterloo; Associate Professor Mirands Holmes-Cerfon, UBC; and Professor Jingwei Hu, U. Washington. There will also be a poster session...

On Feb 13, J. Campion Loth gave the Discrete Math seminar on "Symmetry of Star Factorisations", where he focused on the combinatorial aspects of these objects and related factorisation problems. In this talk, we will look at these objects, which I...

Mean-field game (MFG) systems provide a powerful framework for modeling the collective behavior of multi-agent systems with diverse applications. However, unknown parameters pose challenges. In this work, we tackle an inverse problem, recovering MFG...

The annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, brings together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing...
