Seminario Marina Santacroce
by Marco Maggis 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Con preghiera di diffusione ai possibili interessati. Annuncio di Seminario, Martedì 21 Giugno, ore 12:30, Sala di Rappresentanza Dipartimento di Matematica (UniMi) Via C. Saldini 50 Milano Professoressa Marina Santacroce, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Torino Title: From classical to general utilities maximization: control techniques versus other approaches. Abstract: In this talk we discuss methods which give constructive characterizations of the optimal strategies for expected utility maximization problems in a continuous semimartingale setting. In particular, we focus on a method which seems to provide a valid alternative to dynamic programming and works for general utilities and, besides, displays a clear link with convex duality.

Seminario GOLDIN (RGS, ADAMSS, CIMAB & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, in collaborazione col centro ADAMSS e il CIMAB, il giorno venerdì 24 Giugno 2016, alle ore 17.00, nell'Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Neuronal Classification from Network Connectivity " Rebecca GOLDIN George Mason University Abstract The mammalian brain is a large network of neurons (~10^8 in rodents up to 10^11 in humans) sparsely interconnected by synapses (~10^4 per neuron). Most synapses are directional contacts between extensive tree-like structures, namely the axon of the output neuron and the dendrite of the input neuron. The ongoing assembly of complete maps of such circuits (“connectomes”) is crucial to understanding the brain structure-function relationship. Although the exact connectivity pattern of each neuron is unique, the common working assumption posits the existence of distinct “neuronal classes”, such that neurons in the same class share more similar connectivity patterns than neurons in different classes. A rigorous definition of this concept is still lacking, and even the order of magnitude of the number of neuronal classes is source of wide disagreement in neuroscience. Connectomic data may become available within the next decade for at least parts of nervous system in animal models, yet the mathematics to analyze these data is still underdeveloped. Indeed, that same mathematics should inform the data collection itself: Should we collect as much data from one animal as possible, or from as many animals as possible? Are more data with less precision better or worse than more precision with less data? We developed a class of probabilistic models that formalizes the concept of neuronal class based on network connectivity. Given a complete list of all neurons and their connections in a network, the model derives the number of neuronal classes, and an assignment of each neuron to a class. We fit the model using sparse singular value decomposition, and cluster the latent vectors into groups, and infer the neuronal classes. We tested the models on neurobiologically realistic simulated data, and found that our approach is robust and computationally tractable. We generated 50 graphs with 32,768 vertices each by stochastically assigning (secret) groups. One model consistently returned 100% correct class assignment, with 2% error in individual neural assignment, and reconstructed probability matrices well within the precision specified in the original probability matrix. This method provides a practical and theoretical foundation to bridge neuronal- and system-level neuroanatomy.

Seminario di Probabilità - Padova
by Paolo Dai Pra 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Ho il piacere di invitarvi al seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì 9 Giugno, alle 14:30, in Sala Riunioni del VII piano (accesso scale A e B) della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Padova. SPEAKER: Giuseppe Cannizzaro AFFILIATION: TU Berlin TITLE: Malliavin Calculus for Regularity Structures: the case of gPAM ABSTRACT: The theory of Regularity Structures allowed to solve a number of ill-posed stochastic partial differential equations. In this presentation, after recalling the main aspects of Hairer's work, we will show how it is possible to introduce Malliavin Calculus tools in this context in order to investigate probabilistic properties of the solutions to such equations. We will focus on one standard example of the theory, namely the generalized Parabolic Anderson Model (gPAM), and prove that its solution, when evaluated at a space-time point, admits a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

Seminari del prof. Aldo Procacci
by Massimo Campanino 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

I giorni venerdì 10 e lunedì 13 giugno il prof. Aldo Procacci del Dipartimento di Matematica, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Brasile) terrà due seminari presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, pazza Porta S. Donato 5, 40126 Bologna. Ven. 10 Giu, ore 17:00 aula Seminari VIII Piano The Mayer series: two explicit expressions for its coefficients and the combinatorial problem. We derive the (formal) Mayer series of the pressure of a system of classical particles interacting via a pair potential from the standard grand canonical partition function. We give two alternative representations of its coefficients e we discuss the combinatorial problem involved towards the question of its convergence. We conclude the talk by giving a brief review on results obtained and methods proposed , since 1963, to face this combinatorial problem Lun 13 Giu, ore 15:00 aula Enriques Convergence of the Mayer and Virial expansions and the Penrose tree-graph identity We establish new lower bounds for the convergence radius of the Mayer series and the Virial series of a continuous particle system interacting via a stable and tempered pair potential. Our bounds considerably improve those given by Penrose and Ruelle in 1963 for the Mayer series and by Lebowitz and Penrose in 1964 for the Virial series. To get our results we exploit the tree-graph identity given by Penrose in 1967 using a new partition scheme based on minumum spanning trees. 5x1000 AI GIOVANI RICERCATORI DELL'UNIVERSITÀ DI BOLOGNA Codice Fiscale: 80007010376
