Abstract:Let X be a smooth projective scheme over a field F. We say that Rost nilpotence is true for X in the category of Chow motives with integral coefficients if for any field extension E/F the kernel ofCH_2(S x S) --> CH_2(S_E x S_E)consists of...

Abstract: In this talk, a three-dimensional, non-isothermal, multiphase, two phase steady state transport model and its efficient numerical methods are systematically studied for a full proton exchange and accuracy. The conservation equations of mass...

Abstract Branching process is the basic model used to describe population growth in biological systems. Branching diffusion and super-diffusion are more complex models which root in diverse areas of pure and applied science, including population...

Abstract We consider maximum likelihood estimate for drift parameter in SDE involving fBm and establish asymptotic properties of this estimate. The generalized fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is considered as an example.Then we treat the...

We prove the existence of self-similar solutions to the Fradkov model for two-dimensional grain growth, which consists of an infinite number of nonlocally coupled transport equations for the number densities of grains with given area and number of...

Abstract: We address a significant difficulty that occurs in computation of fluid interfaces with soluble surfactant in the limit of large bulk Peclet number. A transition layer develops adjacent to an interface where bulk surfactant concentration...

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Victoria is hosting their first annual CMS Math Camp this year June 27-30. The CMS Math Camps are designed to provide students in grades 9 and 10, who have demonstrated a talent for...

Abstract The three subjects mentioned in the title may appear to be totally unrelated. But they are now beautifully connected in some recent investigations on the asymptotic behavior or orthogonal polynomials. In this lecture, I will illustrate this...
