seminario di Z. Brzezniak a Pisa
by Marco Romito 07 May '14

07 May '14

Il giorno 13 maggio 2014, alle ore 9:30, presso la sala seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pisa, si terrà il seguente seminario: Z. Brezniak (University of York): Invariant measures for stochastic Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains via bw-Feller property Abstract: In this talk I will describe a general result on the existence of invariant measure for Markov processes having the bw-Feller property and will show how this can be applied to stochastic Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains. This talk is based on joint works with M. Ondrejat and Ela Motyl. The results presented are in some sense generalisations of related results for stochastic nonlinear beam and wave equations (where a Pritchard-Zabczyk trick playes an essential role) obtained in a joint woth with M. Ondrejat and J. Seidler. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. m.

seminario Ruodu Wang in Bicocca
by fabio.bellini 07 May '14

07 May '14

Il giorno martedì 13 maggio alle ore 15.00 presso la aula seminari del Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi della Università di Milano Bicocca, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il dott. Ruodu Wang della Università di Waterloo (Canada) terrà un seminario su: Admissible distributions of risk aggregation Abstract Modeling inter-dependence between individual risks often faces statistical as well as probabilistic challenges, in which dependence uncertainty naturally arises. In this talk, we consider problems of risk aggregation with dependence uncertainty. The core question of interest is to characterize admissible distributions of risk aggregation, where marginal distributions of individual risks are assumed known but the joint dependence structure is unknown. In the first part of the talk, we will summarize finite dimensional results based on the notion of joint mixability, and discuss their relevance to optimization problems in risk management. In the second part of the talk, we will study asymptotic problems of admissible risk aggregation with identical margins. The results are concise and, in the meanwhile, surprising. We hope to deliver the following message: with the marginal distribution known and dependence structure unknown, we know essentially nothing about the asymptotic shape of the sum of random variables. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Fabio Bellini

The three year program is articulated in curricula. The 8 curricula currently offered are field-specific, although in many instances they share a common scientific background. Candidates can apply for one (or more) of the following curricula:  Economics (ECON)  Management Science (MS)  Complex Networks (CN)  Computational Mechanics (CM)  Control Systems (SYS)  Computer Science (CS)  Image Analysis (IA)  Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage (AMCH) Courses are led by world-renowned researchers and provide students with the necessary theoretical skills and advanced tools for rigorously tackling a multitude of analysis, design and management problems within the broad framework of systems analysis. In fact, IMT's outgoing PhDs will be able to use the skills they obtained during their studies to recognize and resolve complex problems to choose the most appropriate method or instrument to utilize when affronting these problems, even in disciplines outside of their primary field of research. All students are based in the newly restored San Francesco complex, a fully integrated campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca. The campus includes residential facilities, including an on-site canteen, study and living rooms, and outdoor recreational spaces, all serving to add a cultural and social dimension to the professional experience of the doctoral program. Eligible students will also receive a research scholarship which amounts to approximately €13,600/year. The PhD program at IMT attracts students from around the world, providing a truly international environment. English is the official language of the Institute. To further enhance the internationality of the program, all students have the opportunity to spend anywhere from 2-9 months abroad at a research institute or university, with the possibility of receiving additional financing through the Erasmus+ program. To find out more about the institute, the requirements for admission and how to apply, please see http://phd.imtlucca.it. *The deadline for applications is July 14th 2014, 6 pm Italian time.* Find IMT on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube for the latest news.
