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...

In this talk, I will present my recent result about the ergodic properties of nonequilibrium steady-state (NESS) for a stochastic energy exchange model. The energy exchange model can be seen as a stochastic approximation of a certain billiards-like...

This talk is about the wavelet frame-based image and video restorations. We start with some of main ideas of wavelet frame based image restorations. Some of applications of wavelet frame based models image analysis and restorations will be shown...

We invite our graduate students to the Palisades Centre in beautiful Jasper National Park. We offer a series of scientific and professional development activities, where we discuss mathematical modelling of biological problems, analysis of partial...

Stratified shear flows are ubiquitous features of the ocean and atmosphere, and a large literature is devoted to describing their stability and mixing properties. A classical results is the Miles-Howard theorem, which states that a necessary...

Entropy is one of the most important invariants in dynamical systems, in both measure-theoretic and topological settings. The original Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy was introduced for integer group actions in the late 1950s and extended to amenable group...

Broad area Quantum Cascade Lasers (BA-QCLs) tend to oscillate on fewer transverse modes than the number which can be supported by the waveguide. In cases lasing is dominantly if not totally on a single high-order transverse mode, it leads to a well...

We establish rates of convergence of solutions to scaling (or similarity) profiles in a coagulation type system modelling submonolayer deposition. We prove that, although all memory of the initial condition is lost in the similarity limit...

Please join us at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics for three days of presentations on a variety of topics in history and philosophy of mathematics from Sunday 29 May to Tuesday 31 May. A special...

The ABC Algebra Workshop is a series of one or two day workshops, featuring invited algebraists, from Alberta and British Columbia, and others from outside of Canada. Location: University of Alberta, Central Academic Building, Room 657. Click here...
