Annuncio Seminari - M. Gubinelli; M. Coghi.
by Marta Leocata 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Cari tutti, Mercoledì 3 febbraio 2016, alle ore 11:30 presso l'aula Seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pisa, il professor Massimiliano Gubinelli (Institute of Applied Mathematics, University of Bonn) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Weak universality of the stationary KPZ equation". Abstract: I will discuss a notion of solution for the KPZ equation which has been introduced by Jara and Gonçalves (2010) and later improved by Jara and myself (2013) and goes under the name of energy solutions. In a recent work in collaboration with Perkowski we have recently obtained a uniqueness results for energy solutions. Using energy solutions is possible to prove weak universality results for KPZ: namely that a wide class of one dimensional microscopic interacting particle models with weak asymmetry and in non-equilibrium stationary states have large scale fluctuations described by the KPZ equation. A seguire, nella stessa aula il dottor Michele Coghi (Scuola Normale Superiore) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Mean field limit of interacting filaments and vector valued non linear PDEs". Abstract: Families of N interacting curves are considered, with long range, mean-field type, interaction. A family of curves defines a 1-current, concentrated on the curves, analog of the empirical measure of interacting point particles. This current is proved to converge, as N goes to infinity, to a mean field current, solution of a nonlinear, vector valued, partial differential equation. In the limit, each curve interacts with the mean field current and two different curves have an independence property if they are independent at time zero. This set-up is inspired from vortex filaments in turbulent fluids, although for technical reasons we have to restrict to smooth interaction, instead of the singular Biot-Savart kernel. All these results are based on a careful analysis of a nonlinear flow equation for 1-currents, its relation with the vector valued PDE and the continuous dependence on the initial conditions terrà un seminario dal titolo Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di Silvia Zuffi presso IMATI-Milano
by Antonella Bodini 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Mercoledi' 2 marzo alle ore 11 presso la sala A dell'Area di Ricerca 1 di Milano, via Corti 12, la Dottoressa Silvia Zuffi (ITC-CNR) terra' il seguente seminario: TITOLO: MAP Inference in Probabilistic Graphical Models ABSTRACT: Molti problemi di interesse scientifico ammettono una rappresentazione mediante modelli probabilistici in cui la probabilita’ congiunta delle variabili aleatorie puo’ essere rappresentata mediante un modello grafico. Tali rappresentazioni sono vantaggiose sia in fase di apprendimento del modello che in fase di inferenza delle variabili date le osservazioni. Metodi di computazione distribuita come l’algoritmo Belief Propagation sono efficacemente applicati in modelli a variabili discrete o che ammettono una discretizzazione dello spazio delle variabili. In caso di problemi ad alta dimensionalita’ e/o con variabili continue, dove una discretizzazione dello spazio non e’ computazionalmente affrontabile, un approccio comune e’ ricorrere a metodi non parametrici, ed eseguire una stima della soluzione a posteriori piu’ probabile. Per problemi ad alta dimensionalita’ tali algoritmi sono dipendenti dall’inizializzazione e possono convergere a singoli massimi locali. Nella presentazione illustrero’ un algoritmo per inferenza della soluzione MAP (maximum-a-posteriori) in modelli grafici probabilistici ad alta dimensionalita’, detto “Diverse Particle Max Product” (DPMP). DPMP a differenza di formulazioni precedenti e’ meno sensibile all’inizializzazione ed in grado di mantenere molteplici ipotesi. (Collaboratori: Jason Pacheco ed Erik Sudderth, Brown University e Michael J. Black, MPI-IS Tuebingen) Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Antonella. -- Dott.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

15^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2016 */New CREDIT SOLUTIONS for THE REAL ECONOMY and their IMPLICATIONS for INVESTORS, FINANCIAL STABILITY and POLICY DESIGN / *Venice, Italy 6 - 7 October 2016 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), *Research Center SAFE *at Goethe University Frankfurt (Frankfurt, Germany), the *European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on October 6-7, 2016. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank*, is the *fifteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. The banking industry has traditionally been shaped by the interplay between innovations and regulatory trends. The global and sovereign-debt crisis we have observed from 2007 and the harsher regulatory reaction have impacted on banks capacity and willingness to direct financial flows to the real economy in appropriate amounts. The result has been an extremely feeble, and slow creditless recovery, that not even the pursuit of a historically low interest-rate monetary policy and QE appear so far capable of influencing. The markets reaction to this state of affairs has been to develop alternative or complementary ways to commercial banking to channel funds where needed, that is to households, firms and infrastructure projects. Examples are (i) alternative financing solutions: mini-bonds, SME guarantees, Start-up and Venture Capital/Private Equity, Business Angel financing, payment-by-result bonds, securitization, microfinance and (ii) Digital finance like P2P lending and crowdfunding, The European Commissions with the Capital Market Union project plan to foster the diversification of funding sources for enterprises, in particular SMEs. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * How alternative and digital financing interplay with the standard funding channels? * Are alternative financing and financial innovations socially useful and valuable in solving the problem of supplying quality resources to the most vulnerable, financially deprived (e.g. households; start-ups; young entrepreneurs) and growth-enhancing (e.g. SMEs; infrastructures) sectors of the economy, thereby supporting social inclusion, sustainable growth and employment? * Do alternative and digital financial products and credit innovations offer an attractive risk/reward trade-off to potential investors, be consistent with their ALM requirements, yield expectations, risk appetite and wealth preserving objectives. * What should be the role of the public sector in promoting the emergence and development of alternative financing channels for the real economy? * What is the role of innovative monetary policies (QE) in promoting these alternative and digital financing channels for the real economy? * Do alternative and digital financing channels pose the same or bigger potential threats to financial stability? Should they be covered by adequate supervisory frameworks, or else justifiably expect a more lenient treatment? The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca Foscari University of Venice, SAFE, Goethe University Frankfurt & GRETA,**Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo *(JRC Unit Financial and Economic Analysis) *Marco Da Rin *(Tilburg University) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(Head EIFs Research & Market Analysis) *Jan Peter Krahnen *(SAFE & Goethe University Frankfurt) *Adair Morse *(Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, SFI & CEPR) *Steven Schaefer *(London Business School) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received from invited speakers include *Franklin Allen *(Brevan Howard Centre, Imperial College London), *Thomas Hellman *(Oxford Said Business School) and *Adair Morse *(Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems. Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 15, 2016 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *July 15, 2016*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2016.

********************************************************************* SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA "G. PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* giovedì 3 Marzo 2016 alle ore 15:00 in Aula C presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. FRANCO FLANDOLI (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Commenti teorici ed applicativi su sistemi di particelle e loro limiti al continuo in oncologia matematica e clinica" Sommario: Un problema importante di oncologia clinica consiste nella scelta tra numerosi regimi chemioterapici. Un primo modello matematico che verrà mostrato nel seminario, modello molto semplificato e basato su semplici equazioni differenziali e processi a salto, può essere un prototipo di simulatore dell'efficacia di alcuni regimi. Tra gli altri, due problemi che sorgono in tali modelli semplificati sono la giustificazione delle equazioni usate e la caratterizzazione, magari con incertezza, delle costanti. Il seminario mostrerà allora alcuni ragionamenti che collegano il modello semplificato a modelli più complessi a scala cellulare, creando un ponte tra diverse costanti dei due modelli. Infine, tra gli innumerevoli problemi di rigore matematico originati da questi collegamenti, ne verrà affrontato uno. Esso riguarda la dimostrazione rigorosa che un certo meccanismo proliferativo a scala cellulare origini un determinato termine nonlineare a livello di una classe di equazioni alle derivate parziali che, sempre entro ampi limiti di approssimazione, possono essere utilizzate per descrivere l'evoluzione spazio-temporale di una densità di cellule proliferanti. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Federico Polito Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto, 10 10123, Torino, Italy Email: federico.polito(a)unito.it Tel: +39 011 6702937 Web: www.federicopolito.it

Alberto Bressan seminar [ Comp.Science Dept. ; Verona University ; 7th of March, 2016 ]
by Luca di persio 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Prof. Alberto Bressan [ The Pennsylvania State University ], will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of the University of Verona (Strada le Grazie, 15, Verona) the next 7th of March (2016), where he will give the following seminar *Non cooperative Differential Games * scheduled at the *Green Hall*, *starting from 15:45*, with the following *abstract* The theory of noncooperative games provides a mathematical tool to describe interactions between two or more agents with different goals. It has found widespread applications in economics and management science. The first part of this talk will review the basic definitions of Nash and Stackelberg solutions, based on the concept of "best reply". For games in continuous time, equilibrium solutions can be found by studying a particular system of Partial Differential Equations. Within the talk, I shall explain how to derive these PDEs, and what are the main difficulties toward their solution. Some current research directions will be discussed, together with applications. As an example, I shall present a model of optimal debt management, viewed as a noncooperative game between a borrower and a pool of lenders. *Here you can find more details*: http://www.di.univr.it/?ent=seminario&af=2017&ai=2015&gf=15&gi=15&id=3515&i… Do not hesitate to contact me for further infos: luca.dipersio(a)univr.it Best, LuCa __ Luca Di Persio - PhD assistant professor of Probability and Mathematical Finance Dept.
