Annuncio Mini Corso - Giovanni Zanco - Pisa
by Marta Leocata 17 Apr '16

17 Apr '16

Cari tutti, nei giorni mercoledi' 19 aprile, dalle ore 11:00 alle 13:00 (presso l'aula seminari) giovedì 20 aprile, dalle ore 11:00 alle ore 13:00 (presso l'aula Magna) Giovanni Zanco terra' un minicorso dal titolo A brief introduction to rough paths Abstract: We will introduce basic concepts and tools from rough paths theory, motivated by the need to establish a solution theory for differential equations driven by irregular signals. In particular we will discuss controlled rough paths, integration against rough paths, we will compare it to stochastic integration theories and show how classical results can be extended to the rough paths framework. We will mainly consider \alpha-Hölder signals with \alpha\in(1/3,1/2]; this choice allows to simplify many concepts of the theory and, although restrictive, provides enough instruments to deal with interesting problems, like nonlinear SPDEs driven by space-time white noise. Saluti, Marta Leocata

Seminario PAOLO DAI PRA @ UniTo
by Federico Polito 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

********************************************************************* SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA "G. PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* mercoledì 4 Maggio 2016 alle ore 14:30 in Aula Magna presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. PAOLO DAI PRA (Università degli Studi di Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo ROUTE TO CONSENSUS AND OSCILLATING BEHAVIOR IN A NETWORK OF CONFORMIST INDIVIDUALS Abstract: Many models have been proposed to describe a group of interacting individuals with a conformist (or non-conformist) attitude. Most of these models are Markovian, possibly with memory. In this talk I outline a model in which every individual forecasts the behavior of the rest of the community, and on this basis optimizes his own strategy. We are interested in the resulting collective behavior, which actually shows features that are not present in classical Markovian models. 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
