Seminario di Stefano Pagliarani a Pisa
by Dario Trevisan 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Cari colleghi, annuncio il seguente seminario che si terrà lunedì 25 marzo, alle 14:00, nella Sala Seminari presso il dipartimento di Matematica dell'università degli studi di Pisa. Dear colleagues, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Monday, 25 March 2019, at 2 PM, in Sala Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa. #### Speaker: Stefano Pagliarani (Università degli studi di Udine) Title: Contraction methods for a class of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. Abstract: We consider two prototype classes of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) SDEs with jumps. In the first case, the coefficient is assumed to be affine in the state-variable, only measurable in the law, and the dynamics allow for Lévy jumps. We study the equivalent functional fixed-point equation for the unknown time-dependent coefficients of the associated Markovian SDE. By proving a contraction property for the functional map in a suitable normed space, we infer existence and uniqueness results for the MK-V SDE, and derive a discretized Picard iteration method that approximates the law of the solution. Numerical illustrations show the effectiveness of the method, which appears to be appropriate to handle multi-dimensional settings. We finally describe possible extensions and generalizations to more general settings. The second class of MKV SDEs that we consider allows for self-exicitng jumps, which amounts to having jumps through hitting the boundary in the equivalent large particle system. The corresponding PDE problem is a particular instance of free-boundary problems known as supercooled Stefan-like problems. We write a Volterra equation for the free boundary and prove contraction results that are useful to determine the properties of the solution and to provide convergent numerical schemes. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Workshop for young researchers in complex systems "Complexity72h" @ IMT Lucca, 17-21 Jun
by Bruno Matteo 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Dear all, Please spread the word of the workshop "Complexity72h", intended for the participation of students and young researchers in the area of complex systems. The applications close in only two days but it's very likely that there will be a one week extension. The workshop Complexity72h is an interdisciplinary event whose aim is to bring together young researchers from different fields of complex systems. Inspired by the 72h Hours of Science, participants will form working groups aimed at carrying out a project in a three-day time, i.e. 72 hours. Each group's goal is to upload on the arXiv a report of their work by the end of the event. A team of tutors will propose the projects, and assist and guide each group in developing their project. Alongside teamwork, participants will attend lectures from scientists coming from different fields of complex systems, and applied workshops. The workshop is organized and will be hosted by the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca. The workshop is addressed to Master students, PhD students and postdocs in complex systems, network science & data science. The fee is 250 euros and it includes participation, lectures, accommodation for 5 nights, coffee breaks, social dinner. 11 Feb 2019 applications start 17 Mar 2019 application deadline (likely to be extended) 25 Mar 2019 notification of acceptance 8 Apr 2019 payment acceptance 17-21 Jun 2019 workshop You can find all the information at the following link: https://complexity72h.weebly.com Best regards, Matteo Bruno

Seminario di Pietro Rigo a Bologna
by Massimo Campanino 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Il giorno venerdì 22 marzo alle ore 14:30 nell'Aula Seminario 2 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, piazza Porta S. Donato 5, il prof. Pietro Rigo del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pavia terrà un seminario dal titolo: On the existence of continuous processes with given one-dimensional distribution Abstract: Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the collection of Borel probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$, equipped with the weak* topology, and let $\mu:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathcal{P}$ be a continuous map. Say that $\mu$ is presentable if $X_t\sim\mu_t$, $t\in [0,1]$, for some real process $X$ with continuous paths. It may be that $\mu$ fails to be presentable. Conditions for presentability are given in this note. For instance, $\mu$ is presentable if $\mu_t$ is supported by an interval for all but countably many $t$. In addition, assuming $\mu$ presentable, we investigate whether there is a continuous process $X$ with the same finite dimensional distributions as the quantile process $Q$ induced by $\mu$. The latter is defined, on the probability space $((0,1),\mathcal{B}(0,1),\,$Lebesgue measure$)$, by \begin{gather*} Q_t(\alpha)=\inf\,\bigl\{x\in\mathbb{R}:\mu_t(-\infty,x]\ge\alpha\bigl\}\quad\quad\text{for all }t\in [0,1]\text{ and }\alpha\in (0,1). \end{gather*} Various open problems are stated as well.

Seminario di Paolo Dai Pra a Bologna
by Massimo Campanino 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Il giorno venerdì 22 marzo alle ore 12 nell'Aula Seminario 2 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, piazza Porta S. Donato 5, il prof. Paolo Dai Pra del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Padova terrà un seminario dal titolo: Thermodynamic limit and phase transitions in non-cooperative games: some mean-ﬁeld examples Abstract: In stochastic dynamics inspired by Statistical Mechanics the interaction between diﬀerent particles, or agents, is usually expressed as a given function of their states. The behavior of the system, in the limit of inﬁnitely many particles (thermodynamic limit), may change dramatically by small changes in the parameters of the model: when this occurs we say there is a phase transition. In many applications the interaction cannot be given a priori but it is rather a result of agents’ strategy, aimed at optimizing a given performance. Using the simplest models of this nature, mean ﬁeld games, we illustrate some examples of phase transitions, pointing to diﬃculties in the proof of the thermodynamic limit.
