Abstract The electrophysiology in a cardiac cell can be modelled as a system of ordinary differential equations. The efficient solution of these systems is important because they must be solved many times as sub-problems of tissue- or organ-level...

Abstract: Relics of early life, preceding even the last universal common ancestor of all life on Earth, are present in the structure of the modern day canonical genetic code. In this talk, I will draw attention to these relics, and discuss their...

Abstract: This is a study of the Euler equations for free surface water waves in the case of varying bathymetry, considering the problem in the shallow water scaling regime. In the case of rapidly varying periodic bottom, this is a problem of...

Abstract: In the 1830s Henry Fox Talbot discovered a self-imaging phenomenon in coherent illumination of a periodic diffraction grating. Since then, studies of the Talbot effect (as it is called) have themselves recurred frequently. One such...

Abstract: The nonlinear Kompaneets (NLK) equation describes the spectra of photons interacting with a rarefied electron gas. We exhibit five previously unknown classes of explicit time-dependent solutions (each class depending on initial conditions...

Abstract There has been striking progress on the theory of Hamiltonian partial differential equations over the past two decades. This talk will survey some of the definitive results and highlight remaining mysteries for future study.

The 1st Joint Scientific Congress of the CMOS, CGU and CWRA will take place from May 26th to 30th 2013 at Teacher's Credit Union Place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. A joint Scientific Program Committee has already been formed to organize the sessions...

The Fourteenth Colloquiumfest will explore the present state of Fixed Point Theory and its applications in analysis, algebra and computer science. The second theme is fractals, in particular the various existing definitions and the question how to...
