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...

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...

This talk describes our attempt to attack two longstanding problems in the model dimensionality (order) when criteria that are based on eigen-decomposition of target matrices are used in practice. First, due to the existence of some dominating...

A summer school for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will held during the first three days of the Americas XI conference (August 12-14, 2017). Tutorial lectures are given by experts in differential equations and nonlinear analysis Tutorial...

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...

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...

Confirmed Speakers: Christine Berkesch Zamaere (Minnesota) Xi Chen (Alberta) María Angélica Cueto (Ohio State) Charles Doran (Alberta/ICERM) Steven Rayan (Saskatchewan) Yongbin Ruan (University of Michigan) Greg Smith (Queen's) Mattia Talpo (Simon...

In this talk I will present the most recent advances concerning the questions of global regularity of solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes and Euler equations of incompressible fluids. Furthermore, and if time allows, I will also present...

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...

Stochastic fluctuations in temperature, precipitation and a host of other environmental factors occur at multiple spatial and temporal scales. As the survival and reproduction of organisms, whether they be plants, animals, or viruses, depend on these...
