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 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 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...

We will begin by giving an elementary introduction to the GL(2,R) action on the Hodge bundle (sometimes called Teichmuller dynamics), after which we will give a survey of some of new developments in this field. This will include restrictions on the...

I will present three new results: (i) the Cramer transform of the uniform measure on a convex body is a universal self-concordant barrier; (ii) projected gradient descent with Gaussian noise allows to sample from a log-concave measure in polynomial...

The 57th Cascade Topology Seminar will take place at Seattle University. The titles and abstracts for this event are: Ryan Derby-Talbot: Computing Heegaard genus is NP-Hard One of the most basic measures of the complexity of a 3-manifold is its...
