Otto calculus is a fundamental toolbox in mathematical optimal transport, imparting the Wasserstein space of probability measures with a Riemmanian structure. In particular, one can compute the Riemannian gradient of a functional over this space and...

A linear conic programming problem aims at minimizing a linear objective over the intersection of an affine set and a closed convex cone. The conic feasibility problems we study in this talk naturally arise from the optimality conditions of linear...

Over the last two decades we have developed good understanding of how to quantify the impact of strategic user behavior on outcomes in many games (including traffic routing and online auctions) and showed that the resulting bounds extend to repeated...

The workshop will consist of several minicourses addressing a broad range of theoretical and practical issues arising in seismic imaging including the use of curvelets and other frames in seismic imaging, compressed sensing applied to seismic imaging...

The North American Pacific region is a center of strength in the growing field of computational neuroscience. In this inherently interdisciplinary field -- practiced by mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers as well as neuroscientists ---...

The Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) is a regional meeting for geometers of all kinds. It is held once each academic year, rotating among Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, BC. It is sponsored by Lewis and Clark College, Oregon State...

Diophantine problem (the problem of algorithmic solvability of equations) is one of the classical problems in mathematics. This problem is decidable in algebraically closed fields, in the fields of real and p-adic numbers. Diophantine problem for...

Standard Young tableaux are fundamental in combinatorics, representation theory, and geometry. In this talk, we will define these objects and discuss some of their remarkable properties. In particular, we will discuss the connection between the major...
