Methods based on L1-relaxation are popular for sparse regression in high dimensions. Elastic Net Regularization is an algorithm for learning and variable selection. It is based on a regularized least square procedure with a penalty which is the sum...

Monetary utility functions are -- except for the expected value -- not of von Neumann-Morgenstern type. In case the utility function has convex level sets in the set of probability measures on the real line, we can give some characterisation that...

Peritoneal dialysis is a life saving treatment for chronic patients with end stage renal disease. The peritoneal cavity, an empty space that separates bowels, abdominal muscles and other organs in the abdominal cavity, is applied as a container for...

Optimal partial transport is a variant of optimal transport theory, where only a portion of mass is to be transported in an efficient way. It was initially studied by Caffarelli and McCann. I will explain a joint work in progress with Gonzalo Davila...

In order to construct the moduli space of canonical polarized manifolds, three different stability conditions have been introduced, namely, KSBA-stability, K-stabilty and asymptotic GIT stability. In this talk, we try to explore the relations among...

In this talk we give a review of the approach to multivariable interpolation and approximation using radial basis functions. They are most popular in theory and applications because they provide approximants and interpolants in any space dimension...

Based on some recent joint work of J. Lewis, and others, we formulate a variation of the Beilinson-Hodge conjecture pertaining to varieties defined over the complex numbers. In this talk, we explain the motivation for this conjecture, and some...
