CORE Seminar: Jon KleinÂberg
Many sysÂtems involve the alloÂcaÂtion of rewards for achieveÂments, and these rewards proÂduce a set of incenÂtives that in turn guide behavÂior. Such effects are visÂiÂble in many domains from everyÂday life, and they are increasÂingly formÂing a...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Mark Rudelson
Random matrix theory studies the asymptotics of the spectral distributions of families of random matrices, as the sizes of the matrices tend to infinity. Derivation such asymptotics frequently requires analyzing the spectral properties of random...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Lauren Williams
The positive Grassmannian is a remarkable subset of the real Grassmannian which has recently arisen in diverse contexts such as integrable systems, scattering amplitudes, and free probability. I will provide an elementary introduction to the positive...

RanÂdom matriÂces now play a role in many areas of theÂoÂretÂiÂcal, applied, and comÂpuÂtaÂtional mathÂeÂmatÂics. ThereÂfore, it is desirÂable to have tools for studyÂing ranÂdom matriÂces that are flexÂiÂble, easy to use, and powÂerÂful. Over the...

The Eulerian polynomials, which were introduced by Euler over 200 years ago, are pervasive throughout discrete mathematics and arise in a variety of surprising ways. Over the years generalizations and q-analogs possessing fundamental properties of...

Flow and cut probÂlems on graphs are among the most funÂdaÂmenÂtal and extenÂsively studÂied probÂlems in OperÂaÂtions Research and OptiÂmizaÂtion, playÂing a founÂdaÂtional role in both the theÂory and pracÂtice of algoÂrithm design. While the clas...

CORE Seminar: Michael OverÂton
In many appliÂcaÂtions one wishes to minÂiÂmize an objecÂtive funcÂtion that is not conÂvex and is not difÂferÂenÂtiable at its minÂiÂmizÂers. We disÂcuss two algoÂrithms for minÂiÂmizaÂtion of nonÂsmooth, nonÂconÂvex funcÂtions. GraÂdiÂent SamÂpling...
