A theme that cuts across many domains of computer science and mathematics is to find simple representations of complex mathematical objects such as graphs, functions, or distributions on data. These representations need to capture how the object...

We explore graphs of high cop number. We give new lower bounds for cop number of graphs of high girth. We also present a new class of undirected graphs with cop number $(1-o(1)) \sqrt{n/2}$ and a class of directed graphs with cop number $(1-o(1))...

Solvers for the Boolean satisfiability problem have been increasingly used to solve hard problems from many fields and now routinely solve problems with millions of variables. Combinatorial problems are a natural target, as SAT solvers contain...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Jinniao Qiu
March 20, 2019

The talk will be devoted to a simple introduction to stochastic PDEs (SPDEs) driven by Wiener processes, including both forward and backward (in time) cases. Some motivations, as well as the duality relationship between forward and backward SPDEs...
