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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
