Care tutte, cari tutti, per il prossimo evento del ciclo dei Seminari di Analisi, giovedì 21 marzo alle ore 17:00, in Aula Riunioni, avremo il piacere di ascoltare Ihsan Topaloglu (Virginia Commonwealth University), che terrà un seminario dal titolo “A Variational model involving nonlocal interactions of Wasserstein type”. Trovate qui sotto l’abstract.

Il seminario sarà preceduto da una merenda dalle ore 16:30 nella stessa aula.

Vi ricordiamo inoltre il seminariohttps://www.dm.unipi.it/en/seminar/?id=65de51cbed68b6f4c9ae4cd5 di domani giovedì 14 marzo alle 17 in Aula Riunioni (+ merenda alle 16:30) di Liangjun Weng (UniPi).

A presto, Ilaria Lucardesi e Luigi Forcella --------------------------------------------- Dear all, On Thursday 21st March at 5:00 PM, in "Aula Riunioni", for the Mathematical Analysis Seminar, we will have the pleasure of listening to Ihsan Topaloglu (Virginia Commonwealth University). The title of the talk is “A Variational model involving nonlocal interactions of Wasserstein type”. Please find below the abstract.

The seminar will be preceded by a snack in the same room, starting at 4:30 PM.

We also remind you the seminar https://www.dm.unipi.it/en/seminar/?id=65de51cbed68b6f4c9ae4cd5 by Liangjun Weng (UniPi), tomorrow Thursday 14th at 5:00 PM (+ snack at 4:30PM) in "Aula Riunioni".

See you soon, Ilaria Lucardesi and Luigi Forcella --------------------------------------------- Speaker: Ihsan Topaloglu (Virginia Commonwealth University) Title: A Variational model involving nonlocal interactions of Wasserstein type Abstract: In this talk I will consider a variational problem which appears in models of bilayer membranes. After introducing and deriving the model I will establish the existence of volume-constrained minimizers where the energy functional consists of two competing terms: a surface energy term penalizing transitions between sets and a nonlocal energy involving the Wasserstein distance between equal volume sets. In the second part of the talk I will consider the maximization of the minimum Wasserstein distance between two given sets, and show that this maximum is obtained by a micella. These results are drawn from joint works with Almut Burchard, Davide Carazzato, Michael Novack, and Raghavendra Venkatraman.
