We also illustrate the use of the importance sampling for the estimation of these hitting probabilities by Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain the analog of well-known results for level crossing probabilities of random walks, and we refer to a version of the classical Cramér's Theorem in large deviations for random compact sets existing in the literature.

Seminar at Scuola Normale Superiore, 16 February 2018, Paolo dai Pra
by Giulia 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Dear all, On Friday, 16 February 2018 — from 11:30 to 13:00 — at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Room: Fermi) Prof. Paolo dai Pra (University of Padova, department of Mathematics) will hold the following Seminar: Title : Rhythmic behavior in complex stochastic dynamics Abstract: Interacting particle systems may exhibit, in the thermodynamic limit, a time-periodic behavior in the evolution of their law. We have made an attempt to understand which factors may produce this phenomenon, in particular those related to the time-symmetry breaking of the dynamics: dissipation, delay, asymmetry in the interaction. We will first review some examples of mean field dynamics for which the thermodynamic limit can be explicitly computed and analyzed. Later we will focus on some partial results concerning the first, to our knowledge, example of rhythmic behavior for a system with local interaction: the Ising model with dissipation. Fill free to forward this announcement to your colleagues. Fill free to forward this announcement to your colleagues.

Advanced School on complexity and emergence: first announcement
by elisa mastrogiacomo 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

This is the *first announcement* of the upcoming *Advanced School on complexity and emergence: ideas, methods, with a special attention to economics and finance (CEIM)* The School will be held in the magnificent Villa del Grumello, Como (Italy) along the Lake Como shore on July 22-27, 2018. The main courses will be given by L. Boi (EHESS – Paris), I. Capelli (Università dell’Insubria), I. Ekeland (Ceremade - Universitè Paris-Dauphine), F. Guerra (Sapienza Università di Roma), J. Jost (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences - Leipzig), Florent McIsaac, (Agence Française pour le Développement), F. Patras (Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis), F. Riedel (Center for Mathematical Economics, Bielefeld University), F. Semboloni (Università degli studi di Firenze), R. Seri (Università dell’Insubria). The potential participants of the School are primarily master and doctorate students of mathematics, information sciences, theoretical physics, and economics, as well as research workers in those areas, who want to enlarge their spectrum of knowledge towards the area of complexity. The aim of the School is to provide these researchers useful instruments from the theory of complex systems, both on the theoretical level and the methodological ones, bridging the present disciplinary gap, and profiting from knowledge and insights from both communities. The School may have some (limited number of) financial supports. Details about the registration, the application for financial support and the website will come soon in a follow-up message. We would be grateful if you could circulate this announcement among your PhD students, postdocs and colleagues. With our best regards, Sergio Albeverio Elisa Mastrogiacomo Fabio Minazzi Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Stefania Ugolini

Annuncio Seminario
by gianmario tessitore 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Mercoledì 7 Febbraio 2018 alle ore 14:30 nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell' Università di Milano-Bicocca il dottor James Ting Feng Yang (University of Sydney) terrà un seminario dal titolo: Titolo: "A Survey into Singularly Perturbed Linear-Quadratic Stochastic Differential Games" Abstract: The purpose of this survey is to gain a clear understanding to open questions with regards to linear-quadratic (LQ) stochastic differential games whereby the dynamics of the two players evolve at different speeds. Some interesting questions include the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium and the formulation and convergence of the limiting system as the speed of the two players diverge. To do so, we examine recent literature in LQ stochastic differential game theory and singularly perturbed LQ optimal control theory. As the array of literature is rather small in these fields, we will also talk about some achievements in their non-linear counterparts. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare cordiali saluti Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

A message from Prof. Ilya Molchanov: UNIVERSITY OF BERN (INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS AND ACTUARIAL SCIENCE) PhD POSITION in PROBABILITY THEORY Funding from the SNF (Swiss National Science Foundation) is available for a PhD student (3 years) to work on the project `Poisson approximation and extreme values in stochastic geometry' awarded by SNF to Prof. Ilya Molchanov and Dr. Matthias Schulte. The whole project funds two PhD positions and one PostDoc and focuses on topics such as the Malliavin-Chen-Stein method, extreme values in stochastic geometry, random simplicial complexes and metric measure spaces. The advertised PhD position will be supervised by Ilya Molchanov. The research topics concern properties of point processes in metric measure spaces, related extreme values, and some generalisations of convex hulls involving marked point processes. Interactions with other members of the team will be encouraged. It is anticipated that the prospective PhD student has a background in mathematics with emphasis on probability theory. The salary will be at the level foreseen by the SNF, see http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/allg_doktorierende_d.pdf. There is a possibility to complement the salary by taking up teaching and statistical consulting duties in the department. The starting date is September 2018 or as can be arranged by a mutual agreement. Applications (cover letter, CV, transcripts from the studies, and e-mail address of an academic referee) should be e-mailed as a single pdf file to Prof. Ilya Molchanov ilya.molchanov(a)stat.unibe.ch Deadline: 25/February 2018. E-mail enquiries are welcome.
