The UBC Statistics Department and the SFU Statistics and Actuarial Science Department jointly host one seminar per term at a central location in Vancouver. These seminars are intended to be informal, and at a level accessible to graduate students...

Joslin Goh Title: Prediction and Calibration Using Outputs From Multiple Simulators Abstract: Deterministic simulators are widely used to describe physical processes in lieu of physical observations. In some cases, more than one computer simulator...

Title: Mahler measures in group rings (Lalin) Abstract: We will consider a generalization of the Mahler measure elements in group rings, in terms of the Lueck-Fuglede-Kadison determinant. A natural question is the variation of the Mahler measure when...

Quantum Chromodynamics has been accepted as the theory of the strong interactions for more than thirty years, ever since the discovery of asymptotic freedom by Gross, Politzer and Wilczek, whose work was recognized with the 2004 Nobel Prize. Despite...

Traditional stability concepts for ODE solvers typically deal with linear equations and/or bounds involving inner-product norms only. Modern problems of interest are typically nonlinear and in many casesthe relevant bounds for the problem involve...

Simulation of moving physical interfaces in 3-D is complicated by the need to (1) resolve complex realistic geometries with a spatial discretization, (2) accurately compute evolving physical fields on the discretization, and (3) evolve the...

The impact of waves, both resolved and parameterized, on the general circulation of the atmosphere is essential to the upward extension of atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) into the stratosphere and mesosphere. Such efforts have lead to a...
