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...

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...

This is a two-day workshop with many talks by graduate students and selected talks by invited experts. Topics for this workshop include graph theory, finite geometries, designs, and extremal combinatorics.

Abstract harmonic analysis has had a strong presence in Canada’s mathematical community for several decades. The Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium has provided a forum for researchers in the area to interact for nearly 20 years. It also...

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...

This talk will discuss results in a joint paper of mine with Steve Lalley from 1992. Suppose a particle, starting at position 0, moves according to a diffusion process on the real line. Suppose also that this particle emits daughter particles...

Classifying solutions is one of central themes in nonlinear partial differential equations. This is the content of various Liouville type theorems and more recently De Giorgi type conjectures. I will report recent progress towards De Giorgi's...

The consensus problem plays a central role in the theory of distributed computing. I will prove that consensus is impossible to solve in some asynchronous shared memory systems and I will present some algorithms for solving it in others, together...

The field of Mathematical Biology has experienced a rapid development in the last decade. Current mathematical tools are approaching a level of sophistication that allows for a high-level application of these techniques to real biological problems...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org Modern symbolic computation systems provide an expressive language for describing mathematical objects. For example, we can easily enter equations such asf=x^{2^{100}}y^2 + 2x^{2^{99}+1}y^{2^{99}+1}...
