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...

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...

GEOMED 2011 is the 7th international, interdisciplinary conference on spatial statistics and geomedical systems. GEOMED brings together statisticians, geographers, epidemiologists, computer scientists, and public health professionals to discuss...

Walter holds a CRC for Mathematical Analysis and its Applications at McMaster University, and was recently elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Before moving to Canada he has been on the faculty of Caltech, Stanford University, and was...

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...

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...

A one day seminar on Dispersive PDE's at UVic to discuss the up to date progress in the field as well as to enhance the collaboration with colleagues from France and UBC. The seminar will gather researchers with quite similar focus and will include...

This year computer scientists around the world will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing, which occurs on June 23, 2012. Alan Turing formulated the "Turing machine", the widely mathematical model of the computer; he has been...
