UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO Dipartimento di Matematica AVVISO DI SEMINARI Mercoledì 1 giugno 2022, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, livello 1, si terranno i seguenti seminari in presenza e online (su Teams): 1) ore 15:00-15:45 - Prof. Enrico Scalas (University of Sussex, Brighton, UK) Limit theorems for prices of options written on semi-Markov processes link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZmRiNmFjZmUtNmFlMS00… We consider plain vanilla European options written on an underlying asset that follows a continuous time semi-Markov multiplicative process. We derive a formula and a renewal type equation for the martingale option price. In the case in which intertrade times follow the Mittag-Leffler distribution, under appropriate scaling, we prove that these option prices converge to the price of an option written on geometric Brownian motion time-changed with the inverse stable subordinator. For geometric Brownian motion time changed with an inverse subordinator, in the more general case when the subordinator's Laplace exponent is a special Bernstein function, we derive a time-fractional generalization of the equation of Black and Scholes. This is joint work with Bruno Toaldo 2) ore 16:00-16:45 - Dott. Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli) Bulk behaviour of ground states for relativistic Schrödinger operators with spherical potential well link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTMzYTBmYTAtZDFiYS00… In this talk, we show a probabilistic representation of the ground state of a massive or massless Schrödinger operator with a spherical potential well. Such a representation will lead to a two-sided approximation with different behaviours depending on the fact that we are inside or outside the well. Both of them rely on some functionals of the first exit time of a subordinated Brownian motion from a suitable open set (the well or its complement). We also develop a moving planes-type argument to prove the radial monotonicity of the ground state, which is one of the main tools of the two-sided bounds. This is joint work with József Lőrinczi. Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Cordiali saluti, Barbara Martinucci

Probability Seminar in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 26 May '22

26 May '22

Dear All, next Tuesday Nicolas Forien (Sapienza Università di Roma) will give a seminar talk on particle systems and interacting random walks. Please find the title and the abstract below. Best regards, Lorenzo Taggi Tuesday 31st of May, 16.15, Dipartimento di Matematica Università Sapienza, Aula Consiglio *Title:* On the phase transition of activated random walks *Abstract:* The Activated Random Walk model consists of particles which perform independent random walks on a graph and fall asleep with a certain rate. Sleeping particles stop moving and are awaken when another particle arrives on the same site. The model on Z^d presents a phase transition: depending on the density of particles (initially all active) and on the sleep rate, either almost surely each particle eventually falls asleep forever (fixating phase), or almost surely no particle falls asleep forever (active phase). In this talk, I will present a joint work with Alexandre Gaudillière (arxiv.org/abs/2203.02476) showing the existence of an active phase on Z^2: for every positive initial density of particles, for a sufficiently low sleep rate, almost surely no particle falls asleep forever.

Best wishes, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Seminar Organisers. When: Wednesday May 25, 11.30am UK time Speaker: Harita Dellaporta<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> (University of Warwick) Title: Robust Bayesian Inference for Simulator-based Models via the MMD Posterior Bootstrap Abstract: Simulator-based models are models for which the likelihood is intractable but simulation of synthetic data is possible. They are often used to describe complex real-world phenomena, and as such can often be misspecified in practice. In this talk, I will present a novel algorithm based on the posterior bootstrap and maximum mean discrepancy estimators. This leads to a highly-parallelisable Bayesian inference algorithm with strong robustness properties. This is demonstrated through an in-depth theoretical study which includes generalisation bounds and proofs of frequentist consistency and robustness of our posterior. The approach is then assessed on a range of examples including a g-and-k distribution and a toggle-switch model. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Assistant Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sis-news" group.

Seminar in Pisa: Enrico Malatesta
by Francesco Grotto 23 May '22

23 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Enrico Malatesta (Bocconi) to be held Wednesday, May 25th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 25th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Enrico Malatesta Title: Phase transitions in the landscape of solutions of overparametrized neural networks. Abstract: Current deep neural networks are nonlinear devices composed of a number of parameters that far exceed the number of data points. Understanding how these systems can fit the data almost perfectly through variants of gradient descent algorithms and achieve exceptional levels of prediction accuracy without overfitting are key conceptual challenges. In this talk I will show how common techniques used in machine learning (e.g. the choice of the activation function or the loss) deeply affect the loss landscape, tending to mild its roughness. Then we shed light on the role of overparameterization in non-convex neural networks. By analytically studying a non-convex model of random features, we identify a novel (non-equilibrium) phase transition, that we call “Local Entropy” transition, controlled by the degree of overparameterization. In non-convex models this transition is strictly different to the SAT/UNSAT threshold and it coincides with the appearance of highly entropic minima of the error loss function. Those minima, in turn, are found to be highly attractive to the learning algorithms currently used in deep learning.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 27 Maggio 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Alexander Cox* (University of Bath) Title: *Binary branching processes with Moran type interactions* Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the large population limit of a binary branching particle system with Moran type interactions: we introduce a new model where particles evolve, reproduce and die independently and, with a probability that may depend on the configuration of the whole system, the death of a particle may trigger the reproduction of another particle, while a branching event may trigger the death of another one. We study the occupation measure of the new model, explicitly relating it to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the underlying Markov evolution and quantifying the L2 distance between their normalisations. This model extends the fixed size Moran-type interacting particle system discussed in Del Moral, Burdzy et al, and Villemonais, and we will indeed show that our model outperforms the latter when used to approximate a birth and death process. We discuss several other applications of our model including the neutron transport equation, Sequential Monte Carlo methods, and population size dynamics. Joint work with Emma Horton and Denis Villemonais. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://docs.google.com/forms <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJkIrE0DwYtvJq6LqUTNQvL_ZAQWFD8ez…> Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89213634464?pwd=SUUe_KLj4d6lyByzLfE5VCFezDJ4lE.1> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to bring to your attention the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO. The seminars can be attended online via Zoom at the links accessible via the buttons below. Best regards, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis <http://sites.google.com/view/lucaregis> Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti <http://www.carloalberto.org/lti> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/dxQszhXdTYSeK8TgXWVwPdgch-yVozm308…> <#> LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminars: <#> *May 24, 2022 | 12:00-13:15* *Predicting Corporate Bond Returns: Merton Meets Machine Learning* *Amit Goyal (University of Lausanne)* <#> *Abstract.* We investigate the return predictability of corporate bonds using big data and machine learning. We find that machine learning models substantially improve the out-of-sample performance of stock and bond characteristics in predicting future bond returns. We also find a significant improvement in the performance of machine learning models when imposing a theoretically motivated economic structure from the Merton model, compared to the reduced-form approach without restrictions. Overall, our work highlights the importance of explicitly imposing the dependence between expected bond and stock returns via machine learning and Merton model when investigating expected bond returns. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/hfP4I4mUbx241x0z60A6739Y-00wYiECyk…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/H7wKsG1vuV3OD31wQ_0E5gOGft1OURjriG…> <#> <#> *May 25, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *JAQ of All Trades: Job Mismatch, Firm Productivity and Managerial Quality* *Marco Pagano (University of Naples Federico II)* <#> *Abstract.* Does the matching between workers and jobs help explain productivity differentials across firms? To address this question we develop a job-worker allocation quality measure JAQ by combining employer-employee administrative data with machine learning techniques. The proposed measure is positively and significantly associated with labor earnings over workers’ careers. At firm level, it features a robust positive correlation with firm productivity, and with managerial turnover leading to an improvement in the quality and experience of management. JAQ can be constructed for any employer-employee data including workers’ occupations, and used to explore the effect of corporate restructuring on workers’ allocation and careers. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ykATFHYX2laIzxQ_xgRrxeAEz3ksTLnNgK…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Qu65mxHMOuyATkYSpHoaTbGG4jZwv1_-MW…> <#> <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/IfoXGKh5By8LrSGugLNRNVSXyH2VOsaTTd…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/8usPEOcCcpYYly0bCauwMS_rfjHMGgHJVt…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +39011 15630 800 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/96qDEBjI389G7GVS3NgHy4QU5ODhiSBUXH…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/NblUBI8B5HmNemhQAOs_hH9Lb0xHqj4qYn…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/rMMfajyr067kRoDawTi2FFsw8dBZwyxWPW…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/0wIj1P36GYdj7O34J7nWI5VyNMMLDGzqBJ…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/-09AvrjEn7eE8yYbc-ZCF8ERm7rdddPHti…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

18 May '22

Dear All: Next Wednesday,*Anna Vidotto* (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II) will give a seminar talk on the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2AB40 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padua (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: On the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields * Abstract: In this talk, we consider isotropic and stationary real Gaussian time dependent random fields defined on the two dimensional unit sphere S^2 and we investigate the asymptotic behavior, as T tends to infinity , of the excursion area in S^2 × [0, T] at any threshold, covering both cases when the field exhibits short and long memory, that is, integrable and non-integrable temporal covariance. It turns out that the limiting distribution is not universal, depending both on the memory parameters and the threshold. The talk is based on a joint work with D. Marinucci and M. Rossi.

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) Title: Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds. Abstract: In this talk I shall present the construction of Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. This result provides approximations for solutions to initial-value problems for parabolic equations with variable coefficients on the manifold. It also yields the weak convergence of particular sequences of random walks on the manifolds to the diffusion processes associated with the elliptic generator. For parallelizable manifolds this result is applied in particular to the representation of the Brownian motion on the manifold as limit of the corresponding random walks.

OGGI: seminario su "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 17 May
by Umberto Picchini 17 May '22

17 May '22

/[questo e' il nuovo annuncio di un seminario per //*oggi*//17 Maggio che era stato precedentemente cancellato]/ You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday May 17, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles" / * * marina axelson-fisk *About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is a Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity. Comparative gene finding methods utilizes the contrast in sequence similarity between functional and non-functional regions of evolutionary related species. We show how this can be applied to chromosome pair sequences in diploid sequence data. We demonstrate the approach on the highly diverse sea orchid Balanus improvisus using SLAM, a cross-species gene finder that simultaneously annotates and aligns two homologous sequences using Generalized Pair Hidden Markov Models.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/62177902216 Password: 786749 ** **** *When*: Tuesday May 17 at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Seminars in Pisa: L. Andreis and G. Carigi
by Francesco Grotto 16 May '22

16 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminars by Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) and Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held Wednesday, May 18th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 18th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Luisa Andreis (UniFi) Title:Large deviations for coagulation processes: an approach via graphs Abstract: Interacting particle systems where particles interact via coagulation are of great interest for their various behaviours. In particular, interesting phenomena can occur, depending on the structure of the kernel which is giving a rate to each coagulation. Among these phenomena there is the famous phase transition that goes under the name of gelation, i.e. the appearance of one (or multiple) giant particle(s). Although fluid limits are known for the rescaled version of stochastic coagulation processes (convergence to the Smoluchowski coagulation equation and its modification), very few is known about large deviations and rare events in this framework. In this talk we will explore some connections of these processes with random graphs and how to use this connection to attack the problem of studying large deviations. This also allows a comparison with the phase transition in graphs, where a giant component appears. Some remarks about the possible generalization to coagulation kernels that depend on spatial position will be given. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K ̈onig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini (WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS). Time: May 18th, 2022, 15:00-16:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

We explore the relaxation of the Gaussian assumption in Single Index models and Shrinkage estimation using two tools that originate in Stein’s method: Stein kernels, and the zero bias transform. Taking this approach leads to measures of discrepancy from the Gaussian that arise naturally from the nature of the procedures considered, and result in performance bounds in contexts not restricted to the Gaussian. The resulting bounds are tight in the sense that they include an additional term that reﬂects the cost of deviation from the Gaussian, and vanish for the Gaussian, thus recovering this particular special case.

Seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza

12 May '22

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio del seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza. Grazie Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Mercoledì 18 Maggio, ore 16, Sala di Consiglio, Sapienza Università di Roma SPEAKER: Michele Aleandri (Sapienza Università di Roma) TITOLO: Opinion dynamics: conformist and nonconformist interacting agents ABSTRACT: We study two models of binary decisions in a connected network of interacting agents. Individual decisions are determined by social influence, coming from direct interactions with neighbours, and a group level pressure that accounts for social environment. We study the convergence of the mean field variables associated to the processes as the number of agents goes to infinity and we show that propagation of chaos occurs. In the first model, [2], we have a family of conformist or nonconformist agents that interact with each other. When the number of agents is large but fixed, we study the amount of time spent by the mean field variables associated with the process around the stable points of the macroscopic dynamics. In a nonconformist environment, there is a persistent disordered phase where no majority is formed: We show how in this case the introduction of a delay mechanism in the agent’s detection of the global average choice may drastically change this scenario, giving rise to a coordinated self sustained periodic behavior. In the second model, [1], the population is divided into two social groups, each one characterized by its attitude with respect to the other. Agents of the same group interact with each other, while the other group exerts on them a social influence, that may also be null or even negative. We focus in particular on models with Lotka-Volterra type interactions, i.e., models with conformist vs. nonconformist groups. For these models, although the microscopic system is driven a.s. to consensus within each group, a periodic behaviour arises in the macroscopic scale. In order to describe fluctuations between the limiting periodic orbits, we identify a slow variable in the microscopic system and, through an averaging principle, we find a diffusion which describes the macroscopic dynamics of such variable on a larger time scale.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Darrick Lee (EPFL) to be held tomorrow (May 10th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 10th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Darrick Lee (EPFL) Title: Mapping Space Signatures Abstract: The path signature is a foundational tool in the theory of rough paths. In this talk, we introduce the mapping space signature, a generalization of the path signature to maps from higher dimensional cubical domains, which is motivated by the topological perspective of K. T. Chen. We show that the mapping space signature shares many of the analytic and algebraic properties of the path signature; in particular it is universal and characteristic with respect to a certain equivalence relation on cubical maps. This is joint work with Chad Giusti, Vidit Nanda, and Harald Oberhauser.

Seminar by M. Burzoni in Verona (hybrid)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 09 May '22

09 May '22

Matteo Burzoni (University of Milan) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 11/05/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: On adjusted risk measures Abstract: We introduce different ways of adjusting classical risk measures in different contexts. We mainly discuss the properties of a new class of convex risk measures that robustifies Expected Shortfall by simultaneously controlling the expected losses associated with different portions of the tail distribution. The key element is a benchmark risk profile g which allows, at the same time, to tailor the risk assessment to the specific application of interest. The resulting risk measure is intimately connected with second-order stochastic dominance. A second way of adjusting and robustifying risk measures is presented in a systemic risk framework which is not based on any probabilistic assumption.

Seminario di Probabilità - Roma La Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 05 May '22

Buongiorno, il Prof. Sebastian Andres terrà un seminario in Sala di Consiglio al Dipartimento di Matematica dell' Università La Sapienza , Lunedì 9 Maggio alle ore 16:00 (sotto i dettagli). Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Time: Monday 9 May 2022, at 16:00 Rome: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University of Rome Speaker: Sebastian Andres (Manchester University) Title: First passage percolation with long-range correlations Abstract: In this talk we consider first passage percolation (FPP) with passage times generated by a general class of models with long-range correlations, including discrete Gaussian free fields as a prominent example. We will discuss conditions under which the associated time constant is positive and the FPP distance is comparable to the Euclidean distance. We will also present two applications to random conductance models (RCM) with possibly unbounded and strongly correlated conductances, namely a Gaussian heat kernel upper bound for RCMs with a general class of speed measures, and an exponential decay estimate for the Green function of RCMs with random killing measures. This talk is based on a joined work with Alexis Prévost (Cambridge). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

seminario G.Ascione - Sapienza 11 maggio
by Luisa Beghin 05 May '22

05 May '22

Buongiorno, vorrei segnalare il seguente seminario: *Mercoledì 11 maggio 2022* Ore 14:30, Aula 34 (quarto piano), Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma e online al seguente link meet.google.com/dwz-gvib-uoj *Titolo:* A sojourn-based approach to discrete-time semi-Markov decision processes *Speaker*: Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale) *Abstract:* Up to now, there is an extensive literature on stepped continuous-time semi-Markov decision processes. Such models generalize the classical continuous-time Markov chain decision processes by allowing for different distributions of interevent times. However, in such models, the decision is always taken in a change of state, so that it influences a priori the distribution of the inter-event times. For such a reason, these models do not allow for decision depending on intermediate observations of the system. In this talk we address the problem of intermediate observations by modelling the system as a finite horizon discrete-time semi-Markov process, thus assuming discrete observations of the system, and allowing possible decisions at each time step. To do this, we first provide an alternative characterization of discrete-time semi-Markov processes in terms of a bivariate Markov chain, involving both the state and the sojourn time of the process. Once this is done, one can use the dynamic programming principle to exploit optimal policies for the discrete-time semi-Markov decision process by resorting to the bivariate Markov formulation. With this approach we are able to exhibit the Bellman’s equation for both the value and the quality function. The latter is then used to develop a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm based on Watkins and Dayan’s Qlearning algorithm, together with a first naive attempt towards a deep reinforcement learning one. Two exploratory toy examples are provided. This is based on a joint work with Salvatore Cuomo from Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. Cordiali saluti.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Salvi - May 9, 17:30
by Maurizia Rossi 04 May '22

04 May '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Michele Salvi* (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata") Title: *Scale-free percolation mixing time.* Abstract: Scale-free percolation is a spatial inhomogeneous random graph model which features three fundamental properties that are often present in real-world networks: (1) Scale-free: the degree of the nodes follows a power law; (2) Small-world: two far-away nodes have typically a small graph distance; (3) Positive clustering coefficient: two nodes with a common neighbour have a good chance to be linked. We study the mixing time of the simple random walk on this structure in one dimension and depict a rich phase diagram in the parameters of the model. In particular, we prove that the presence of hubs can speed up the mixing of the chain. Joint work with Alessandra Cipriani (UCL). *Date and time:* Monday May 9, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6815552946 This talk is part 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. Participation is free and welcome!

The first lecture is scheduled on Thursday, May 5th, at 11 am, at Aula Seminari of the Department of Mathematics (Largo Bruno Pontecorvo, 5, first floor) and online at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aNPe79QEwg0BQ31oFUsis6tD5qgF2… Dates and times later lectures are possibly subject to changes, but are now tentatively scheduled every Thursday and Friday, 11 am, same room (Aula Seminari), starting from Thursday 12th. No lecture will be delivered on Friday 6th. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested, and write me if you want to be added to the Team (to access records of the lectures and further material). Regards, Dario Trevisan %%% Abstract: The qualitative behavior of random evolutions in the long time asymptotic is a classical subject, which has recently found new motivations in high dimensional optimization. The course provides an introduction to classical and recent results concerning the long time behavior of some classes of Markov processes. In the first part, we will introduce some tools typical of potential theory in an elementary context, with focus on the reversibility non-reversibility paradigm. In the second part of the class, we will focus on establishing some recent results for more involved models and infinite-dimensional dynamics. 1. Ergodicity and long time behavior of Markov processes. 2. Potential theory and spectral analysis for processes on graphs. 3. Applications to statistical mechanics models. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Seminar in Pisa: Jules Pitcho
by Francesco Grotto 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Jules Pitcho (UZH) to be held this Wednesday (May 4th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 4th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Jules Pitcho (UZH - Universität Zürich) Title: Since the work of Di Perna-Lions and Ambrosio, it is known that the continuity equation with divergence-free Sobolev vector field is well-posed for densities with suitable integrability. At the Lagrangian level, these works translate into a selection principle for integral curves under which uniqueness for almost every initial data is true. Nevertheless, uniqueness of integral curves can fail almost everywhere. The deterministic technique used to construct such divergence-free Sobolev vector fields and non-unique integral curves go by the name of convex integration: we will explain some of the ideas underlying this technique. We will conclude by arguing that for rougher vector fields, a genuinely stochastic behaviour of integral curves is to be expected: we should not hope for an almost everywhere selection principle for integral curves.
