Mathematical models can help us understand the formation of complex spatial patterns, including the territories of wolves and coyotes. Here scent marks provide important cues regarding the use of space. In this talk I will show how biologically-based...

The second annual one day seminar to discuss progress in the field, as well as to enhance collaboration with colleagues from Japan, France, UBC and SFU. The seminar will gather researchers with similar foci and will include graduate students...

A continuation of the workshop Few-Body Dynamics in Atoms, Molecules, and Planetary Systems, held between June 28 and July 1, 2010, at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany, CEMAD-2013 aims to bring together...

Suppose that infinitely many red and blue points occur at random locations in Euclidean space, and consider translation-invariant schemes for perfectly matching red points to blue points. (Translation-invariance can be interpreted as meaning that the...

This is a chance to bring together researchers and students from the region, including Microsoft Research, Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, University of Washington, and University of Victoria. This year...

Location All events will be held on the 6th floor lounge of the Department of Computer Science, located in the Engineering and Computer Science Building Room 660 ( Google map). Registration There is no registration fee, but please register online so...

The Combinatorial Potlatch is an international one-day conference, usually occuring in mid-November. It has been held for many years at various locations around Puget Sound and southern British Columbia, and is an opportunity for combinatorialists in...

Dimensional Analysis (DA) is a fundamental method in the engineering and physical sciences for analytically reducing the number of experimental variables prior to the experimentation. The principle use of dimensional analysis is to reduce from a...

The term “tipping point” describes the moment when a system suddenly changes state, with no obvious trigger other than a slowly changing environment. Tipping points are difficult to predict and difficult to reverse. Examples range from capsizing...

We prove the global asymptotic stability of shear flows close to planar Couette flow in the 2D incompressible Euler equations. Specifically, given an initial perturbation of the Couette flow which is small in a suitable sense, we show that the...
