Bias-robust estimation of location and scale parameters
April 28, 2011
University of Victoria
Abstract: We begin by outlining the standard ideas of robust estimation of an unknown parameter (e.g., the mean of a normal distribution) under contamination by an unknown distribution. The basic concepts of ``contamination models'', ``asymptotic...

Atomic motion and transverse geometry of tiling spaces
October 6, 2011
University of Victoria
Abstract: The atomic structure of an aperiodic solid, in a d-dimensional physical space, is described by its Hull and its Tiling Space. The Hull can be seen as a foliated space, with leaves given by copies of the physical space. Solids with ``Finite...

Special PIMS Seminar: Michael Overton
November 3, 2011
University of Victoria
Abstract:The root radius and root abscissa of a monic polynomial are respectively the maximum modulus and the maximum real part of its roots; both these functions are nonconvex and are non-Lipschitz near polynomials with multiple roots. We begin the...

PIMS Distinguished Lecture Series: Joachim Cuntz
October 27, 2010
University of Victoria
Abstract: We will first present the algebras A(K) associated with a number field K which were introduced and analyzed in joint work with X.Li. The computation of their K-theory is a challenging problem. It turns out to be determined by the...
