05 Jul '16

Lunedi' 11 Luglio alle 17.15, in Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' La Sapienza, si terra' il seguente seminario di free probability e combinatoria: Speaker: Frederic Patras (CNRS, Laboratoire J.A.Dieudonné, Nizza) Title: Free cumulants and half-shuffles Abstract: The theory of free probabilities has various origins: among others the theory of solutions of random operator-valued differential equations and the one of random matrices and their asymptotic properties. A notion of (free) cumulant has been introduced in this context which (for plenty of reasons) happens to be the "good" generalization of classical cumulants. Roland Speicher has introduced and studied these cumulants form a combinatorial point of view, using the poset of non-crossing partitions. The talk will survey these results and explain a new approach to these questions (j.w. with K. Ebrahimi-Fard).

Seminario di N. Torri a Milano-Bicocca (05.07.2016)
by Francesco Caravenna 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Martedì 5 luglio 2016 alle ore 10:30, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Niccolò Torri (Université de Nantes) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Interacting prudent self-avoiding walk" Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: The collapse transition of self-interacting random walks is a challenging issue, arising in the study of an homopolymer dipped in a repulsive solvent. Different mathematical models have been built by physicists to try and improve their understanding of this phenomenon. For such models, the possible spatial configurations of the polymer are provided by self-avoiding walk trajectories. However, self avoiding walks, especially in dimension 2 and 3, are complicated objects. This is the reason why, in the mathematical literature, collapse transition models were rather built by either relaxing the self-avoiding feature of the walk or by considering partially directed path. In our main result, we prove the existence of a collapse transition for a non-directed model built with prudent paths, i.e., non-directed self-avoiding paths which can not take a step towards a previously visited lattice site. The prudent self-avoiding walk has attracted the attention of the combinatorics community over recent years and an open problem is to find out the exponential growth rate of the set of prudent paths. As a by product of our results we are able to solve this problem. In the first part of the talk we discuss the main models already studied in the literature, while in the second part of the talk we present our main results. The presentation will be kept at an elementary level: only a basic probabilistic background is assumed. (Joint work with Nicolas Pétrélis) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ 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/ _________________________________________

seminario di A. Hocquet a Pisa
by Marco Romito 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Il giorno 5 luglio 2016, alle ore 11:30, presso la sala seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pisa, si terrà il seguente seminario: A. Hocquet (TU Berlin): Finite-time singularities of the stochastic harmonic map flow on surfaces. Abstract: A ferromagnetic material possesses a magnetization, which, out of equilibrium, satisfies the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG). Thermal fluctuations are taken into account by Gaussian space-time white noise. At least in the deterministic case, there is an important parallel between this model and the so-called Harmonic Map Flow (HMF). This was originally used by geometers (in the early sixties) as a tool to build harmonic maps between two manifolds u:M->N. The case where M is two dimensional is critical, in the sense that the natural energy barely fails to give well-posedness. We do not address here the problem of the solvability of LLG driven by space-time white noise. Instead, we consider a spatially correlated version. We show that oppositely to the deterministic case, blow-up of solutions happens no matter how we choose the initial data. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. m.

Seminario Simone Scotti a Padova
by Giorgia Callegaro 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Buongiorno a tutti, annuncio con piacere che il giorno *1° luglio 2016 alle ore 15 *Simone Scotti (Université Paris VII) terrà, presso l'aula 2BC30 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Padova (Via Trieste 63, Padova) un seminario dal titolo: "Branching processes with applications to finance" Abstract: We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the \alpha-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the \alpha-stable Lévy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence of large jumps at local extent. We emphasize on a general integral representation of the model by using random fields, with which we establish the link to the CBI processes and the affine models. Finally we analyze the jump behaviors and in particular the large jumps, and we provide numerical illustrations.

Si avvisa che il giorno mercoledì 22 giugno 2016 alle ore 15.30 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, secondo piano- aula Demografica – stanza 2062) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Dott. Patrick Beissner (Australian National University, Canberra, Australia) Titolo: “Knight-Walras Equilibria” Abstract: Knightian uncertainty leads naturally to nonlinear expectations. We introduce a corresponding equilibrium concept with sublinear prices and establish their existence. In general, such equilibria lead to Pareto inefficiency and coincide with Arrow--Debreu equilibria only if the values of net trades are ambiguity--free in the mean. Without aggregate uncertainty, inefficiencies arise generically. We introduce a constrained efficiency concept, uncertainty--neutral efficiency and show that Knight--Walras equilibrium allocations are efficient in this constrained sense. Arrow--Debreu equilibria turn out to be non--robust with respect to the introduction of Knightian uncertainty. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

The system combines a structural time series model for the target series with regression component capturing the contributions of contemporaneous search query data. A spike-and-slab prior on the regression coefficients induces sparsity, dramatically reducing the size of the regression problem. Our system averages over potential contributions from a very large set of models and gives easily digested reports of which coefficients are likely to be important. We illustrate with applications to initial claims for unemployment benefits and to retail sales. Although our exposition focuses on using search engine data to forecast economic time series, the underlying statistical methods can be applied to more general short term forecasting with large numbers of contemporaneous predictors.

Si avvisa che in data 11/07/2016, alle ore 11:30 precise, presso Aula Seminari "Saleri" VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Luca Calatroni, Experienced Researcher Marie-Curie fellow, Camelot Biomedical systems, Genova and MIDA group, Università degli studi di Genova Titolo: Design and optimisation of non-smooth Imaging models via Partial Differential Equations Abstract: Variational methods and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) have been extensively employed for the mathematical formulation of a myriad of problems describing physical phenomena such as heat propagation, thermodynamic transformations and many more. In imaging, PDEs following variational principles are often considered. In their general form these models combine a regularisation and a data fitting term, balancing one against the other appropriately. Typically, Total variation (TV) regularisation is used due to its edge-preserving and smoothing properties. In this talk, we focus on the use of PDEs for the optimal design of several Imaging models. Starting from the use of higher-order and non-smooth variants of classical heat-type diffusion models often employed to counteract well-known TV reconstruction drawbacks (such as staircasing), we focus in particular on the use of non-smooth optimisation approaches with PDE constraints in the context of optimal parameter estimation for some non-standard image denoising problems. Finally, we consider some TV-based models recently reinterpreted in the framework of graphs and applied to some image segmentation problems. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario Marina Santacroce
by Marco Maggis 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Con preghiera di diffusione ai possibili interessati. Annuncio di Seminario, Martedì 21 Giugno, ore 12:30, Sala di Rappresentanza Dipartimento di Matematica (UniMi) Via C. Saldini 50 Milano Professoressa Marina Santacroce, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Torino Title: From classical to general utilities maximization: control techniques versus other approaches. Abstract: In this talk we discuss methods which give constructive characterizations of the optimal strategies for expected utility maximization problems in a continuous semimartingale setting. In particular, we focus on a method which seems to provide a valid alternative to dynamic programming and works for general utilities and, besides, displays a clear link with convex duality.
