Seminario TREVISAN
by Stefano Favaro 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 28 Febbraio 2020, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Dario TREVISAN (Università di Pisa) THE LAW OF THE OPTIMAL MAP IN RANDOM EUCLIDEAN MATCHING PROBLEMS Random bipartite Euclidean matching problems can be seen as specific instances of optimal transport problems involving two random empirical measures, with a cost given by the Euclidean distance between pairs of sampled points. A heuristic approach, exploiting this connection and using a non-rigorous ``linearization'' of the problem, has been proposed in the physics literature (by Caracciolo et al. in 2014) strongly supported by numerical simulations. From a mathematical point of view, despite some partial success in the two dimensional case, many conjectures concerning asymptotics of matching/transportation costs and laws of optimal matchings/couplings remain open for a wide range of costs and geometries, especially in higher dimensional domains. Aim of this talk will be to review their current status, focusing on some recent results providing, in the two dimensional case, precise estimates on the distance between the optimal matching map and its ``linearized'' approximation (based on joint work with L. Ambrosio and F. Glaudo). ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Stefano Favaro

Seminario di Maurizia Rossi a Milano-Bicocca (26 feb 2020)
by Francesco Caravenna 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Ho il piacere di annunciare il seguente seminario di Maurizia Rossi (Università di Milano-Bicocca): "Random waves: a probabilistic overview with an accent on Geometry" che si terrà mercoledì 26 febbraio 2020 alle ore 14:00 in aula U5-3014 (Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicocca). Trovate l'abstract di seguito. Il seminario è rivolto a un pubblico matematico ampio. Tutti gli interessati, a partire dai dottorandi, sono invitati a partecipare. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract. The geometry of (deterministic) Laplace eigenfunctions on manifolds is a challenging research topic, several natural questions are still open in their full generality, for instance Yau's conjecture on nodal volumes. A probabilistic counterpart of these questions aroused great interest recently, in particular for the universal behavior of high-energy eigenfunctions (the so-called Berry's ansatz). In this talk we investigate the geometry of random waves on manifolds, i.e. geometrical properties of their excursion sets. The aim is to give an introduction to this theory and, if time permits, to present some of the most recent results in this area. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

Seminar announcement at LUISS - Talk by Giorgio Ferrari (Bielefeld University), 25/02/2020, 12:00
by Alessandro Calvia 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, on Tuesday, 25 February 2020, at 12:00, Prof. Giorgio Ferrari (Bielefeld University) will give a talk "On The Free Boundaries of Two Multi-dimensional Singular Stochastic Control Problems with Interconnected Dynamics" at LUISS "G. Carli" University, Department of Economics and Finance, viale Romania 32, room 304b. ------------ Abstract: We present two continuous-time stochastic control problems involving controls of bounded-variation. Those problems are motivated by questions arising in macroeconomic theory - as the optimal control of inflation via interest rates - and in operations research - as the optimal management of an inventory having impact on the demand of a good - and their characteristic is that the drift of a diffusive component of the two-dimensional state variable is an affine function of a purely controlled process. The objective is to minimize an expected cost functional involving a running cost function and proportional costs of control. By relying on a combination of techniques from viscosity theory and free-boundary analysis, we provide the structure of the value function and we show that it satisfies a so-called second-order smooth-fit principle. Such a regularity is then exploited in order to determine a system of functional equations solved by the two monotone continuous curves (free boundaries) that split the control problem's state space in three connected regions. In one of the two considered problems, the free boundaries are even shown to be classical solutions to a system of first-order nonlinear ODEs. This is based on joint works with Salvatore Federico (University of Siena) and Patrick Schuhmann (University of Bielefeld). ------------ All interested people are kindly invited to participate.
