Thanks to the advancement of modern technology in acquiring data, massive data with diverse features and big volume are becoming more accessible than ever. The impact of big data is significant. While the abundant volume of data presents great...

The traditional modelling with partial differential equations has often ignored the stochastic nature of the underlying biological processes, and focussed on the deterministic description. This has led to significant results and has helped to grow...

For a domain X with a probability measure pX, consider reconstruction of an unknown function f using discrete least squares approximation from a linear space Vm of dimension m constructed from values f(xi), where xi are randomly drawn from X w.r.t....

When a sequence of numbers is slowly converging and when it is impossible to have access to the process producing it, it can be transformed, by a sequence transformation, into a new sequence which, under some assumptions, converges faster to the same...

Predicting homogeneous coefficients of random heterogeneous materials involves solving auxiliary problems in volume elements. The accuracy of homogeneous coefficients depends not only on the size of the volume elements, but also on the boundary...

In this talk, we consider the well-posedness, ill-posedness and the regularity of stationary solutions to the hydrodynamic model of semiconductors represented by Euler-Poisson equations with sonic boundary, and make a classification on these...

Lie theory is named after the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie who, at the end of the 19th century, created the theory of "transformation groups" and their infinitesimal versions (called today Lie groups and Lie algebras). Lie theory has evolved...

The subject area of Positivity is concerned with order structures in Analysis. It goes back to F. Riesz and H. Freudenthal, and to the Nobel prize winning work of L. Kantorovich. The last few years have seen rapid advances of multiple modern areas of...

We invite you to participate in the 11th Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis (Americas XI) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, from August 12-19, 2017. The XI Americas Conference brings together mathematicians...
