The relationship between mapping class groups of surfaces and low-dimensional topology has long been a fruitful one. From Thurston's characterization of geometric structures on mapping tori in terms of the Nielsen-Thurston type of the mapping class...

When subjects are exposed to full field flicker in certain frequencies, they perceive a variety of complex geometric patterns that are often called flicker hallucinations. On the other had, when looking at high contrast geometric patterns like op art...

In meiosis, DNA is copied from parents to offspring, so that individuals who share common ancestors may have identical DNA copies from those ancestors through repeated meiosis. This identical-by-descent (IBD) DNA underlies the similarities between...

We develop a dynamic programming methodology that seeks to maximize investor outcomes over multiple, potentially competing goals (such as upgrading a home, paying college tuition, or maintaining an income stream in retirement), even when financial...

Dynamical systems concepts have mostly been developed to understand the behaviour of autonomous, i.e. input-free, nonlinear systems. Even in this case, it is well recognized that such systems can display a wide range of dynamical behaviours...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. Given a matrix-valued function F that depend nonlinearly on a single parameter z, the basic nonlinear eigenvalue problem consists of finding complex scalars z for which F(z) is singular. Such...

WCLAM provides an opportunity for researchers and mathematicians in linear algebra and related fields to meet, present accounts of their research, and hold informal discussions. Although the meeting has a regional base, it attracts a number of...

Many numerical invariants of a graph, such as the independence number, clique number and chromatic number, have game theoretic descriptions. In these games a referee poses questions to two collaborating non-communicating players and they return...
