I shall first explain the concept of sparse solution of rectangular linear system. Algorithms such as L1 minimization and greedy strategy will be introduced for finding a sparse solution of underdetermined linear system. As an example, economic...

Chronic disease management often involves sequential decisions that have long-term implications. Those decisions are based on high dimensional information, which pose a problem for traditional modeling paradigms. In some key instances, the disease...

The American Statistical Association (ASA) DataFest is a celebration of data in which teams of undergraduates work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set. From March 29–31, undergraduate students from...

Much of the progress in applied mechanics and applied math has resulted from the gradual accumulation of knowledge and understanding through contributions by a community of researchers. However, occasionally a single paper contains fundamentally new...

We derive boundary conditions for the vorticity equation with solid wall boundaries. The formulation uses a Dirichlet condition for the normal component of vorticity, and Neumann type conditions for the tangential components. In a Galerkin (integral)...

Superschools focus on topics at the interface of Mathematics and Physics. Graduate students and early career researchers, from both Mathematics and Physics, will be guided, in an intense week-long summer school, by the mentors. String Theory...

The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) invites the mathematical community to the 2016 CMS Summer Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, from June 24-27. All meeting activities are taking place at University of Alberta (116 St & 85 Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R3)...

This conference is a unique and important opportunity for graduate students in mathematics and statistics to meet their peers and discover the wide range of research currently undertaken in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Participants will...

In this talk, I will present the chaotic phenomenon of a dynamical system with positive entropy. It is shown that a dynamical system has positive entropy if and only if it has a weak horseshoe. Particularly, I will show that a Lorentz attractor has a...

The first part of the summer school takes place parallel to the CAIMS Annual Meeting. The summer school is followed by the Sixth International IMS-FIPS Workshop, which takes place July 7-9, also at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
