Seminario di Probabilita' - Universita' di Padova
by alessandra bianchi 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Ho il piacere di invitarvi ai seguenti seminari, che si terranno giovedì 12 Febbraio, dalle ore 14:30, nell'aula 2BC30 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Padova. 14.30 -15.30 Giuseppe Canizzaro (Technical University of Berlin) TITLE: SDEs with distributional drift and Polymer measure ABSTRACT: We study existence and uniqueness of solution for stochastic differential equations with distributional drift by giving a meaning to the Strook-Varadhan martingale problem associated to such equations. The approach we exploit is the one of paracontrolled distributions recently introduced by Gubinelli, Imkeller and Perkowski in their by now celebrated paper "paracontrolled distributions and singular PDEs". As a result, we make sense of the two and three dimensional polymer measure and show some of its properties. 15.30-16.30 Alberto Chiarini (Technical University of Berlin) TITLE: (Local) CLT for symmetric Diffusions in a degenerate Random Environment. ABSTRACT: We study a symmetric diffusion $X$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in divergence form in a stationary and ergodic environment, with measurable unbounded and degenerate coefficients. The diffusion is formally associated with $L^\omega u = \nabla\cdot(a^\omega\nabla u)$. We prove for $X$ a quenched (local) central limit theorem, under some moment conditions on the environment; the key tools are the sublinearity of the corrector and a parabolic Harnack's inequality both obtained using the celebrated Moser's iteration technique. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Pura e Applicata Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Seminario REPETTO (RGS & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 9 Febbraio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Aqueous humour flow in the presence of intraocular lenses" Rodolfo REPETTO, Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Genoa Abstract: Lens placement in the anterior chamber is an increasingly popular method of correcting vision. The lens has a diameter slightly larger than the pupil aperture, and it is placed centrally and just anterior to the iris. The use intraocular lenses is generally very effective and has proven to have good long term clinical outcomes. However, the presence of the lens can lead to possible undesired side effects, including a reduction in endothelial cell density onthe inner corneal surface, which reduces corneal nourishing. Another possible problem is an increase in the resistance to fluid flow between the posterior and anterior chambers of the eye. Aqueous humour is required to flow between these chambers and if the resistance increases sufficiently then pupillary block could occur, meaning the pressure in the posterior chamber increases, which could result in angle closure glaucoma. If the risk is thought to be high the niridotomy is typically used, in which a hole is created in the iris in order to allow flow to by pass the pupil aperture, creating an alternative low-resistance pathway for the aqueous humour. As well as the flow described above, other effects can lead to flow in the anterior chamber. Firstly, there is a temperature gradient between the inner corneal surface and the iris and lens, depending on the difference between atmospheric and body temperature. Combined with gravitational effects, this leads to a buoyancy-driven flow. Secondly, the eye performs saccades, and rotational saccades lead to accelerations and hence flow. In addition, other movements, such as lens movement during accommodation, rubbing the eye, and accidental impacts will lead to flow. In this presentation we show results from a model of flow due to pressure gradient, thermal and saccadic effects in the posterior and anterior chambers in an eye, both with and without the artificial lens in place. We adopt both an analytical approach based on the use of the lubrication theory and a fully numerical model to assess the wall shear stress on the corneal surface, the pressure drop between the posterior and anterior chambers, with the aim of understanding how the positioning of the lens affects these quantities. In the second part of the talk some open issues concerning the fluid mechanics of the eye will also be presented and briefly commented upon. ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/. -- ------------------------------- Giacomo Aletti, Associate Professor ADAMSS Centre (ex MIRIAM) Advanced Applied Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Department of Mathematics (www.matematica.unimi.it) Via Saldini, 50 20133 Milano, Italy Tel: +39-02-503.16158 Fax:+39-02-503.16090 Cell: +39-340-9739142

The conference room allows only for a very limited number of participants (max. 35). Interested people are invited to contact the ABS15 Secretariat at abs15(a)mi.imati.cnr.it COURSE OUTLINE This course covers the theoretical and applied foundations of Bayesian statistical analysis with an emphasis on computational tools for Bayesian hierarchical models. We will discuss model checking, model assessment, and model comparison. The course will cover Bayesian stochastic simulation (Markov chain Monte Carlo) in depth with an orientation towards deriving important properties of the Gibbs sampler and the Metropolis Hastings algorithm. Extensions and hybrids will be discussed. We will then use Markov chain Monte Carlo tools to fit linear and nonlinear specifications with multiple levels, longitudinal features, and non-normal distributional assumptions. Lectures will include theoretical discussions of modeling and estimation as well as practical guidance for fitting complex multilevel models with R and JAGS software. Applications will be drawn from political science,sociology, epidemiology, economic policy, and public administration. Participants are expected to understand linear regression in matrix algebra terminology, have some exposure to R, and know basic statistical inference. PRACTICAL INFORMATION The school will be as usual, with lectures and practical sessions (run by a junior researcher), participants' talks, free Wednesday afternoon, start on Monday after lunch and ending on Friday before lunch. Accommodation is available either at the Villa guesthouse or in downtown hotels. Como can be easily reached by train from Milano and its airports.
