Buongiorno, inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani per chi fosse interessato. Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 19 mag 2021 alle ore 08:03 Subject: [owps] talks May 20 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Dear All, we have two talks tomorrow. Remember that we start 14:00 UTC which is 16:00 CET! 14:00-15:00 UTC Pascal MaillardBranching particle systems and front propagation I will review some recent results (some in progress) on extremes of branching particle systems as models of front propagation. The main theme will be asymptotic results about speed and fluctuations. The talk will be based on joint work with various subsets of the following people : Gaël Raoul, Michel Pain, Sarah Penington, Jason Schweinsberg, Julie Tourniaire. 15:00 - 16:00 UTC Sarah Penington Brownian bees in the infinite swarm limit Consider a system of N particles moving according to Brownian motions and branching at rate one. Each time a particle branches, the particle in the system furthest from the origin is killed. I will discuss the large N and large time behaviour of the system, which is related to solutions of a novel non-linear free boundary partial differential equation. Based on joint work with Julien Berestycki, Éric Brunet and Jim Nolen. The Zoom link is on the OWPS webpage.

Webinar in Statistics PAUL JENKINS

17 May '21

WEBINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 21 Maggio 2021, alle ore 12.00, si terrà il seguente webinar: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Paul Jenkins *(University of Warwick) Title: *Asymptotic genealogies of interacting particle systems* Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87319216872?pwd=L1JnR0UvamZ2RC9Eb2xFbW9qREN0Zz09 Meeting ID: 873 1921 6872 Passcode: 626226 Abstract: Interacting particle systems are a broad class of stochastic models for phenomena arising in physics, engineering, biology, and finance. A prominent class of such models can be expressed as a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm in which the aim is to construct an empirical approximation to a sequence of measures. The approximation is constructed by evolving a discrete-time, weighted population of particles, alternating between a Markov update and a resampling step. Resampling gives rise to a notion of a genealogy in which duplicated particles are regarded as offspring of their parents. In this talk I discuss how to characterise the genealogy underlying this evolving particle system. More precisely, under certain conditions we can show that the genealogy converges (as the number of particles grows) to Kingman's coalescent, a stochastic tree-valued process widely studied in population genetics. This makes explicit the analogy between sequential Monte Carlo and an evolving biological population. This is joint work with Suzie Brown, Adam Johansen, Jere Koskela, and Dario Spanò. ------------------------------------------------ Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>
