Seminario di Elena Bandini a Bologna (nuovo orario)
by Alberto Lanconelli 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Statistics Seminars 2019 Martedì 12 marzo 2019 ore 10 Aula II, Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, piano terra "BSDEs driven by a general random measure and optimal control for piecewise deterministic Markov processes" Dott.ssa Elena Bandini, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Abstract: We consider an optimal control problem for piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP) on a bounded state space. Here a pair of controls acts continuously on the deterministic flow and on the transition measure describing the jump dynamics of the process. For this class of control problems, the value function can be characterized as the unique viscosity solution to the corresponding integro-differential Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation with a non-local type boundary condition. We are able to provide a probabilistic representation for the value function in terms of a suitable backward stochastic differential equation, known as nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula. The jump mechanism from the boundary entails the presence of predictable jumps in the PDMP dynamics, so that the associated BSDE turns out to be driven by a random measure with predictable jumps. Existence and uniqueness results for such a class of equations are non-trivial and are related to recent works on well-posedness for BSDEs driven by non quasi-left-continuous random measures" Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Alberto Lanconelli Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Paolo Fortunati" Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

INSTRUCTORS Remco van der Hofstad (Eindhoven University of Technology, NL) Shankar Bhamidi (University of North Carolina, USA) Tutorials: Souvik Dhara (New England Lab, Microsoft Research and MIT, USA) Clara Stegehuis (Eindhoven University of Technology, NL) PROGRAM Random graphs are at the forefront of applied probability,, and a central topic in multidisciplinary science where mathematical ideas are used to model and understand the real world. The aim of this course is four-fold: present novel models to describe real-world networks, and their topological properties; study their local behavior; discuss networks functionality, as described by stochastic processes on them; and discuss several statistical problems of networks and their functionality, including community detection, estimation of preferential attachment functions, estimation of the source of an epidemic. The school will present basic material in the first week, while the second week will contain more advanced material, at the forefront of science. The Bocconi Summer School in Statistics and Probability is offered by Bocconi University, Milano, and is hosted by the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies. The aim of the School is to establish a track of high level courses on cutting-edge topics in Statistics and Probability. The school offers lectures delivered by internationally leading scholars on the specific designated topic, and supervised tutorials. The summer school is open to all interested scholars, but is especially addressed to PhD students, and possibly to brilliant MSc graduates/students interested in pursuing doctoral studies in Statistics, Probability, Data Science, Computer Science and related fields. A POSTER SESSION will take place in the first week of the school, where participants, upon request, may present their research. APPLICATIONS: In order to foster active interaction among students and instructors, the school is targeted for a class of at most 30 qualified and selected participants. Deadline for applications: March 27, 2019. REGISTRATION and FEES. The registration fee (530 euro) covers all the school activities and course material; accommodation for the 2 weeks (July 7- July 20 morning), wi-fi connection; all work-days lunches in the beautiful park of Villa del Grumello; welcome cocktail.

Ricevo ed inoltro. Cordiali saluti, Enea ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <nagy(a)karlin.mff.cuni.cz> Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2019 at 12:52 Subject: Postdoctoral position Prague To: <enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it> Dear Enea, ... I was given the opportunity to hire a postdoctoral researcher to our department (Dept. of Probability and Math. Statistics) in Prague, to work with me on topics of data depth (i.e. multivariate / functional statistics), and the geometry around that. It will be a pure research position, no teaching, for about 18 months, starting this summer. The salary will be, of course, lower compared to the standards in the western Europe (about 1500 EUR net monthly), but it's surely enough for a decent life in Czech Rep. If you know about someone bright who might be interested in this position, I will be very grateful if you let us know, or if you spread the word. https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/13621 ...
