Annuncio Mini Corso - Giovanni Zanco - Pisa
by Marta Leocata 17 Apr '16

17 Apr '16

Cari tutti, nei giorni mercoledi' 19 aprile, dalle ore 11:00 alle 13:00 (presso l'aula seminari) giovedì 20 aprile, dalle ore 11:00 alle ore 13:00 (presso l'aula Magna) Giovanni Zanco terra' un minicorso dal titolo A brief introduction to rough paths Abstract: We will introduce basic concepts and tools from rough paths theory, motivated by the need to establish a solution theory for differential equations driven by irregular signals. In particular we will discuss controlled rough paths, integration against rough paths, we will compare it to stochastic integration theories and show how classical results can be extended to the rough paths framework. We will mainly consider \alpha-Hölder signals with \alpha\in(1/3,1/2]; this choice allows to simplify many concepts of the theory and, although restrictive, provides enough instruments to deal with interesting problems, like nonlinear SPDEs driven by space-time white noise. Saluti, Marta Leocata

********************************************************************* SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA "G. PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* mercoledì 4 Maggio 2016 alle ore 14:30 in Aula Magna presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. PAOLO DAI PRA (Università degli Studi di Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo ROUTE TO CONSENSUS AND OSCILLATING BEHAVIOR IN A NETWORK OF CONFORMIST INDIVIDUALS Abstract: Many models have been proposed to describe a group of interacting individuals with a conformist (or non-conformist) attitude. Most of these models are Markovian, possibly with memory. In this talk I outline a model in which every individual forecasts the behavior of the rest of the community, and on this basis optimizes his own strategy. We are interested in the resulting collective behavior, which actually shows features that are not present in classical Markovian models. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Federico Polito Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto, 10 10123, Torino, Italy Email: federico.polito(a)unito.it Tel: +39 011 6702937 Web: www.federicopolito.it

The Programme runs for six years from October 2015, with a total of GBP 2.8million funding. At Lancaster, OR-MASTER will be undertaken by the Centre for Transport and Logistics (CENTRAL) Research (a newly established Research Centre in the Department of Management Science), and will link into existing Operational Research-related development initiatives and expertise such as: the STOR-i Doctoral Training Centre and the Lancaster Data Science Institute. Professor Konstantinos G. Zografos at Lancaster University is the Principal Investigator and overall Programme Director. Professors Kevin Glazebrook (Lancaster) and Edmund Burke (QMUL) are the two Programme Co-Investigators. Professor Burke leads the OR-MASTER Programme at QMUL. The Programme represents a strong partnership between academia, the air transport industry and policy makers. OR-MASTER will involve close collaboration with a host of international organisations that will support the project, providing real-world data, insights and expertise. OR-MASTER will develop new mathematical models and algorithms for solving complex, large-scale airport resource allocation problems. Our ultimate goal is to develop decision support capabilities for airport capacity allocation and management. To achieve our objectives we seek to recruit world-leading post-doctoral researchers (Research Associates) with ambition, potential and determination. OR-MASTER is a highly collaborative Programme. Each Research Associate and PhD student working on the project at Lancaster University will have at least one other 'buddy partner' at the QMUL with whom they will collaborate, supported by visits to the partner site. RAs and PhDs will also have opportunities to visit and collaborate with the industrial and academic organisations affiliated with the project.

Vi informo che il seminario del Dr. Joseba Dalmau (ENS Parigi) dell’11 Aprile, si svolgerà alle 15:00 in Aula 1A150, al primo piano della Torre Archimede. Titolo: La distribuzione della quasi-specie Abstract: nel 1971, Manfred Eigen propone un modello deterministico per descrivere l'evoluzione di una popolazione infinita di macromolecole, soggetta a delle forze di mutazione e selezione. Due fenomeni principali si osservano nel modello di Eigen: una soglia di errore per il tasso di mutazione e una distribuzione di quasi-specie per dei tassi di mutazione sulla soglia di errore. Al fine di ottenere un analogo di questi risultati per una popolazione finita, studiamo un modello di Moran con mutazione e selezione, e ritroviamo, in un regime asintotico concreto, la soglia di errore e la distribuzione della quasi-specie. Inoltre, otteniamo una formula esplicita per la distribuzione della quasi-specie.

Con profonda tristezza vi comunico la scomparsa di Gianni Di Masi. Amico e collaboratore, Gianni è stato per molti anni un punto di riferimento scientifico e umano. Dopo esser stato ricercatore presso il CNR-LADSEB, Gianni Di Masi ha svolto la sua attività presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Università di Padova, di cui è anche stato Direttore. La sua attività scientifica ha riguardato i processi stocastici e varie applicazioni, tra cui filtraggio, controllo stocastico e finanza matematica. I suoi risultati sono stati assai apprezzati a livello internazionale. A noi piace ricordarlo per la sua semplicità, onestà, la sua innata simpatia e il suo umorismo spesso trascinante. Notizie riguardanti il funerale e l’alzabara saranno a breve pubblicate sul sito del Dipartimento di Matematica.

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Mercoledì 6 aprile ore 12:30 Aula D'Antoni Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Speaker: Peter Eichelsbacher, Ruhr-Universität Bochum Title: Malliavin-Stein method for Variance-Gamma approximation on Wiener space. Abstract: In a joint work with Christoph Thäle, we combine Malliavin calculus with Stein's method to derive bounds for the Variance-Gamma approximation of functionals of isonormal Gaussian processes, in particular of random variables living inside a fixed Wiener chaos induced by such a process. The bounds are presented in terms of Malliavin operators and norms of contractions. We show that a sequence of distributions of random variables in the second Wiener chaos converges to a Variance-Gamma distribution if and only if their moments of order two to six converge to that of a Variance-Gamma distributed random variable (six moment theorem). Moreover, simplified versions for Laplace or symmetrized Gamma distributions are presented. Also multivariate extensions and a universality result for homogeneous sums are considered. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
