Annuncio Seminario
by gianmario tessitore 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Mercoledì 7 Febbraio 2018 alle ore 14:30 nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell' Università di Milano-Bicocca il dottor James Ting Feng Yang (University of Sydney) terrà un seminario dal titolo: Titolo: "A Survey into Singularly Perturbed Linear-Quadratic Stochastic Differential Games" Abstract: The purpose of this survey is to gain a clear understanding to open questions with regards to linear-quadratic (LQ) stochastic differential games whereby the dynamics of the two players evolve at different speeds. Some interesting questions include the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium and the formulation and convergence of the limiting system as the speed of the two players diverge. To do so, we examine recent literature in LQ stochastic differential game theory and singularly perturbed LQ optimal control theory. As the array of literature is rather small in these fields, we will also talk about some achievements in their non-linear counterparts. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare cordiali saluti Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

A message from Prof. Ilya Molchanov: UNIVERSITY OF BERN (INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS AND ACTUARIAL SCIENCE) PhD POSITION in PROBABILITY THEORY Funding from the SNF (Swiss National Science Foundation) is available for a PhD student (3 years) to work on the project `Poisson approximation and extreme values in stochastic geometry' awarded by SNF to Prof. Ilya Molchanov and Dr. Matthias Schulte. The whole project funds two PhD positions and one PostDoc and focuses on topics such as the Malliavin-Chen-Stein method, extreme values in stochastic geometry, random simplicial complexes and metric measure spaces. The advertised PhD position will be supervised by Ilya Molchanov. The research topics concern properties of point processes in metric measure spaces, related extreme values, and some generalisations of convex hulls involving marked point processes. Interactions with other members of the team will be encouraged. It is anticipated that the prospective PhD student has a background in mathematics with emphasis on probability theory. The salary will be at the level foreseen by the SNF, see http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/allg_doktorierende_d.pdf. There is a possibility to complement the salary by taking up teaching and statistical consulting duties in the department. The starting date is September 2018 or as can be arranged by a mutual agreement. Applications (cover letter, CV, transcripts from the studies, and e-mail address of an academic referee) should be e-mailed as a single pdf file to Prof. Ilya Molchanov ilya.molchanov(a)stat.unibe.ch Deadline: 25/February 2018. E-mail enquiries are welcome.

Avviso seminario_Delio Mugnolo_giovedì 8 febbraio_ore 11:00
by Stefano Bonaccorsi 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

Avviso di seminario, Università di Trento Parabolic theory of bi-Laplacians giovedì 8 febbraio 2018 *Luogo: *Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Aula Seminari "-1" *Ore*: 11.00 Relatore: - Delio Mugnolo (Università di Hagen - Germania) Abstract: The integral kernel of the semigroup generated by the bi-Laplacian on $\mathbb R^d$ has been studied in several papers by E.B. Davies, while other authors have successively studied positivity issues. Most of these properties strongly depend on the fact that the bi-Laplacian acts on functions in $H^4(\mathbb R)$ as the square of the Laplacian; this is not true anymore if functions on bounded domains with generic boundary conditions are considered. We are going to show how the properties of the semigroup generated by bi-Laplacians on intervals and, more generally, network-like spaces strongly depend on the boundary conditions. Our most surprising finding is that, upon allowing the system enough time to reach diffusive regime, the parabolic equations driven by certain realizations of the bi-Laplacian on networks display Markovian features: analogous results seem to be unknown even in the classical case of domains. This is joint work with Federica Gregorio. *Referente: *Stefano Bonaccorsi
