Spring school on Random Interfaces in Augsburg, March 12-15, 2019 -- Deadline for financial support
by Luigi Amedeo Bianchi 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Dear all, this is a reminder for the spring school on *Random Interfaces* to be held at the University of Augsburg, Germany, for three full days from March 13th to March 15th, 2019. The school will focus on random interfaces, both continuous (approached by means of stochastic partial differential equations) and discrete (together with their hydrodynamic limits). The school will feature a main course by Tadahisa Funaki (Waseda University/University of Tokyo), a minicourse by Fabio Toninelli (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) and an invited lecture by Dimitra Antonopoulou (University of Chester). A poster session for participants is also foreseen. This spring school is intended for PhD students and young researchers, but open for everyone. Registration to the school is free, but compulsory for organisatorial purposes. Limited funds are available to offer financial support to some selected students and young researchers (post-docs). The deadline for applications for financial support is *15th December 2018.* More information and the registration form are available on the website https://www.math.uni-augsburg.de/de/prof/ana/Workshops_Tagungen/Spring-Scho… We are looking forward to seeing you in Augsburg.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Fiserova
by Alessandra Menafoglio 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Si avvisa che in data 21-11-2018, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore Eva Fiserova, Palacky University Olomouc, Czech Republic Titolo Working with compositional data in coordinates Abstract Compositional data are multivariate observations carrying only relative information, popularly expressed in percentages, proportions, mg/kg, etc. Because of features inherent to compositional data, such as scale invariance and the relative scale, the statistical analysis of raw compositional data often leads to spurious results. Natural principles of compositional data are followed by the Aitchison geometry on a simplex, the sample space of compositional data (Aitchison, 1986; Pawlowsky-Glahn et al., 2015). However, because most standard statistical methods rely on the Euclidean geometry in real space, compositional data need to be converted to this space prior to statistical processing. In the lecture, we will present the log ratio methodology for dealing with compositional data and several types of their coordinate representations, such as orthonormal log-ratio coordinates, pivot coordinates, weighted pivot coordinates (Hron et al., 2017), or symmetric balances (Kynvclova et al., 2017). Their usage will be demonstrated on examples. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Alessandra Menafoglio -- Alessandra Menafoglio MOX - Dept. of Mathematics Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32, 20133, Milan Italy Phone: +39 02 2399 4642 Email: <mailto:alessandra.menafoglio@polimi.it> alessandra.menafoglio(a)polimi.it

Seminar announcement

Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Viale Romania 32 00196 Roma November 15, 2018, 12:00 noon Room 207 *Speaker: *Mathias Staudigl / Maastricht University *Title: * *“Learning in Time Varying Games”* *Abstract:* *“In this paper, we examine the long-term behavior of regret minimizing agents in time-varying games with continuous action spaces. In its most basic form, (external) regret minimization guarantees that an agent’s cumulative payoff is no worse in the long run than that of the agent’s best fixed action in hindsight. Going beyond this worst-case guarantee, we consider a dynamic regret variant that compares the agent’s accrued rewards to those of any sequence of play. Specializing to a wide class of no-regret strategies based on mirror descent, we derive explicit rates of regret minimization relying only on imperfect gradient observations. We then leverage these results to show that players are able to stay close to Nash equilibrium in time-varying monotone games – and even converge to Nash equilibrium if the sequence of stage games admits a limit.”* The calendar of the future seminars can be found at http://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/en/seminari/prossimi-seminari ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/
