This conference will explore connections between dynamical systems and algebraic geometry, with an emphsis on connections between Teichmüller dynamics and Hodge theory. Confirmed speakers Dawei Chen, Boston College/IAS. Matteo Costantini, Universität...

The minimization of a relative entropy (with respect to the Wiener measure) is a very old problem which dates back to Schrödinger. C. Léonard has between this problem and the Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost (namely the standard Optimal...

The meeting will be held on the main campus of University of Alberta on October 18 (1:00 to 4:30 plus dinner).

In this talk, we consider the drag functional (i.e., hydrodynamical force acting on the boundary) as an objective functional for the shape optimization of the Navier-Stokes boundary. In using the conjugate gradient methods to carry out an...

This student-led conference welcomes all undergraduate and graduate students to participate in workshops and contributed sessions on professional skill development, careers in industry and academia, and research presentations. Dr. Jeffrey Rosenthal...

This year's annual summit celebrates graduate students and their research in mathematical biology at PIMS universities through three main scientific events: research talk and graduate-level workshop in interacting particle systems by Dr Stephen M...

In this talk I explain a promising and previously unnoticed link between electronic structure of molecules and optimal transportation (OT), and I give some first results. The ‘exact’ mathematical model for electronic structure, the many-electron...

The course will cover modelling and analysis of ecological populations. The focus will be model formulation, mathematical analysis and biological insight. Subjects will be taken from: single species models (stochastic, continuous time, delay...

The wave concept is arguably the most widely used single concept in all of physical science. It links together such diverse disciplines as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and physiology. The wave concept is one that unifies many...
