(PMS)^2 online talk: Dario Trevisan
by Mario Maurelli 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Dario Trevisan* (Università di Pisa) Title: *On Minimal Spanning Trees for Random Euclidean Bipartite Graphs* Abstract: The minimum spanning tree (MST) problem is a combinatorial optimization problem with many applications, well beyond its historical introduction for network design. The study of its random instances on Euclidean models, e.g., on complete graphs obtained by sampling i.i.d. uniform points on a d-dimensional cube, is classical, with many limit results as the number of the points grows. In this talk, I will present two new results for its bipartite counterpart, i.e., with an additional colouring (red/blue) of the points and allowing connections only between different colours. First, we prove that the maximum vertex degree of the MST grows logarithmically, in contrast with the non-bipartite case, where a uniform bound holds, depending on d only -- a fact crucially used in many classical results. Despite this difference, we then argue that the cost of the MST, suitably normalized, converge a.s. to a limiting constant that can be represented as a series of integrals, thus extending a result of Avram and Bertsimas to the bipartite case and confirming a conjecture by Riva, Malatesta and Caracciolo. Joint work with M. Correddu, Università di Pisa. Date and time: *Monday July 12, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)* *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Seminar announcement July Thursday 8 - Metastability for the dilute Curie-Weiss model with Glauber dynamics (prof. Elena Pulvirenti)
by Gianmarco Bet 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, On July Thursday 8 at 14:00, prof. Elena Pulvirenti (TU Delft) will give a virtual seminar “in Florence”, to which you are all invited. You can find title and abstract below. Title: Metastability for the dilute Curie-Weiss model with Glauber dynamics Abstract: We analyse the metastable behaviour of the dilute Curie–Weiss model subject to a Glauber dynamics. The model is a random version of a mean-field Ising model, where the coupling coefficients are replaced by i.i.d. random coefficients, e.g. Bernoulli random variables with fixed parameter p. This model can be also viewed as an Ising model on the Erdos–Renyi random graph with edge probability p. The system is a Markov chain where spins flip according to a Metropolis dynamics at inverse temperature \beta. We compute the average time the system takes to reach the stable phase when it starts from a certain probability distribution on the metastable state (called the last-exit biased distribution), in the regime where the system size goes to infinity, the inverse temperature is larger than 1 and the magnetic field is positive and small enough. We obtain asymptotic bounds on the probability of the event that the mean metastable hitting time is approximated by that of the Curie–Weiss model. The proof uses the potential theoretic approach to metastability and concentration of measure inequalities. This is a joint collaboration with Anton Bovier (Bonn) and Saeda Marello (Bonn). The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below.

Seminar by Prof. Giorgio Ferrari in Padova and via Zoom!
by Giorgia Callegaro 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

Dear all, it's a pleasure to announce the forthcoming seminar by Giorgio Ferrari, which will be held in room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department (Torre Archimede) of the University of Padova and online, via Zoom, next week. Here are the details: * Date and time: 7 July, 14.30 pm * Title: Multidimensional singular control and related Skorokhod problem: sufficient conditions for the characterization of optimal controls * Abstract: Singular stochastic control problems naturally arise in applications and are intimately related to variational inequalities and free-boundary problems. A key difficulty in the analysis of singular stochastic control problems in multiple dimensions concerns the characterization of an optimal policy, being the latter typically related to the construction of a stochastic process with reflecting boundary conditions. In this talk we show how to construct the optimal control for a class of singular stochastic control problems as the unique solution to a related Skorokhod reflection problem. The considered optimization problems concern the minimization of a discounted cost functional over an infinite time-horizon through a process of bounded variation affecting an Itô-diffusion. The setting is multidimensional, the dynamics of the state and the costs are convex, the volatility matrix can be constant or linear in the state. We prove that the optimal control acts only when the underlying diffusion attempts to exit the so-called waiting region, and that the direction of this action is prescribed by the derivative of the value function. Our approach is based on the study of a suitable monotonicity property of the derivative of the value function through its interpretation as the value of an optimal stopping game. Such a monotonicity allows to construct nearly optimal policies which reflect the underlying diffusion at the boundary of approximating waiting regions. The limit of this approximation scheme then provides the desired characterization. Our result applies to a relevant class of linear-quadratic models, among others. Furthermore, it allows to construct the optimal control in degenerate and non degenerate settings considered in the literature, where this important aspect was only partially addressed. The talk is based on a joint work with Jodi Dianetti. * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/news/multidimensional-singular-control-and-relate… Thanks for your attention and see you soon in Padova, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home
