Ricevo ed inoltro... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dieter Mitsche <dmitsche(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jan 30, 2019 at 3:44 PM Subject: Re: Nice Summer School on random walks and random graphs To: Elisabetta Candellero <elisabetta.candellero(a)gmail.com> "Nice Summer School on random walks and random graphs " The Nice Summer School on Markov chains, random walks, random graphs and its applications to complex networks will be held in Nice (France) from July 8-19, 2019. One of the two courses focusses on different models of random graphs (model G(n,p), configuration model, preferential attachment model, random graph processes, ...) together with techniques in these models (switching techniques, differential equation method,...), whereas the other course will focus on concepts and techniques related to random walks and Markov chains (mixing times, hitting times, random spanning trees, cutoff phenomena, ...). The school is aimed at advanced master students, PhD students, or researchers in an early stage of their career working in the broad field of discrete probability and its applications. Further details can be found at: https://math.unice.fr/~dmitsche/Summerschool/Summerschool.html Being a popular summer holiday destination, lodging in Nice in summer is expensive. However, the school is supported by different sponsors: Universite Cote d'Azur, UCA Academie 1, Universite Nice, google, PIMS. Registration fees (including 2-week stay in a single bedroom close to the university, lunches and coffee breaks during lecture days): 400 Euro. Discounts for people without need for lodging. However, the number of participants being limited, we might have to make a selection. If you want to participate, send an email to dmitsche(a)gmail.com. Attach a CV as well as a short motivation letter for your participation. *Deadline for registration: May 1, 2019*. You will be informed shortly afterwards whether your application was successful. Best regards, Dieter Mitsche

O'Bayes 2019
by Marilena Barbieri 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

******************************************************************* ******************** CALL for POSTERS ********************** ******************************************************************* O’BAYES 2019 will take place from the 29th of June to the 2nd of July 2019, at the University of Warwick. One of the longest running and preeminent meetings in Bayesian statistics is the Objective Bayes Methodology Conference, of which this will be the thirteenth. O'Bayes 2019 is dedicated to facilitate the exchange of recent research developments in objective Bayes theory, methodology and applications, and related topics, to provide opportunities for new researchers, and to establish new collaborations and partnerships. The meeting is the biennial meeting of the Objective Bayes Section of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA). The scientific component of the meeting will consist of 22 invited talks and discussions. The day before the conference, as customary, will be devoted to tutorials. PhD students, post-docs and more senior researchers working in the field of objective Bayesian statistics, non-parametric Bayesian methods, Bayesian decision theory, and Bayesian machine learning are all invited to take part in the conference and to present their results during the lively poster sessions. Theoretical, methodological and applied contributions are all welcomed for a poster presentation. The deadline for submitting the poster or title, abstract and references is January 31. More details can be found at: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/staff/academic-research/robert/0ba…

Seminario L Campi presso Univ. Milano 11/2/2018
by Marco Alessandro Fuhrman 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

Il professor Luciano Campi della London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) terrà un seminario dal titolo Mean-field games with absorption il giorno lunedì 11 febbraio 2019 alle ore 14:00 in sala rappresentanza del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Milano (via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano). Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati. Cordiali saluti, Marco Fuhrman Abstract. We introduce a simple class of mean field games with absorbing boundary over a finite time horizon. In the corresponding N-player games, the dynamics of players' states follows a system of weakly interacting Ito equations with absorption on first exit from a given set. Once a player leaves the game, her/his contribution is removed from the empirical measure of the system. Players thus interact through a renormalized empirical measure. In the definition of solution to the mean field game, the renormalization appears in form of a conditional law. We also consider the case of a system whose drift can be affected by the fraction of past absorbed players. Under fairly general assumptions, we show that in both cases a solution of the mean field game exists in feedback form and it induces approximate Nash equilibria for the N-player games when N is sufficiently large. This approximation result is established under non-degeneracy of the diffusion coefficient. The degenerate case is more delicate and might lead to counter-examples. The talk is based on joint works with Markus Fischer, Maddalena Ghio and Giulia Livieri.

24 Jan '19

Dear All, it is a pleasure to announce the Summer School "Equilibria in Financial Markets: General Equilibrium and Game Theoretic Perspective" to be held at Bielefeld University in the week*July 08 - July 12, 2019 * http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/(en)/imw/summerschool19/ organized and supported by the Center for Mathematical Economics (IMW) and the Collaborative Research Centre 1283. During the summer school we aim at discussing the different approaches to "equilibrium" arising in financial markets and games. In particular, we intend to discuss recent advances in general equilibrium theory, stochastic games, backward stochastic differential equations in games and general equilibrium, and mean-field games. These topics will be addressed during the lectures of Luciano Campi (London School of Economics) Saïd Hamadène (Université du Maine) Kasper Larsen (Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences) Gordan Žitković (University of Texas at Austin) Frank Riedel (Bielefeld University) *Deadline for applications is April 30, 2019*, and you can apply through the following link http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/(en)/imw/summerschool19/application/ If you have any questions please do not hesitate to write an email tosfb1283.imw(a)uni-bielefeld.de Best wishes, Giorgio Ferrari
