One position is available immediately, but starting dates are negotiable as long as they are within the next calender year. Utrecht is a lively, picturesque city in the center of the Netherlands, with excellent train connections to the rest of the country and to Europe (train trips to Amsterdam take 20 minutes and 25 minutes to Schiphol Airport). REQUIREMENTS: Candidates should have completed a Masters degree in Mathematics or a related discipline by the time they start the position. A strong background in probability theory and discrete mathematics is advantageous, but mathematical maturity and motivation are more important. APPLICATION DEADLINE: For full consideration, please apply on or before 9 March 2016. Reviewing of applications will commence on 9 March 2016, but we accept applications until all positions are filled. HOW TO APPLY: Please send the following material to t.muller(a)uu.nl: 1. A cover letter including an explanation why you consider pursuing a Ph.D. in the area of random graph theory and percolation theory; 2. An up-to-date curriculum vitae; 3.

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. ******************************************* A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ******************************************* *Martedì 9 Febbraio 2016*,*ore 15:30 precise* Aula Dottorato, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' degli Studi di Milano via C. Saldini 50, Milano il Professor *Paulo R. Rios*(Universidade Federal Fluminense, Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) terrà un seminario dal titolo *PROBABILISTIC COMPUTER SIMULATION OF MARTENSITE* ABSTRACT: In bulk polycrystalline materials, the first nucleation event of a martensite plate within a single grain may induce transformation in one or more neighboring grains, resulting in a cluster of partially transformed grains: 'the spread event'. The collection of these single spread events can be defined as the 'spread' or 'martensite spread'. First, in this paper, martensite spreads are analyzed to estimate the mean number of partially transformed grains in a single spread event. Secondly, taking the quantitative knowledge gained from this analysis as a starting point, a computer simulation of the martensite spread is proposed. This computer simulation is carried out in a 3-d network of space-filling grains represented as Kelvin polyhedra and is based on a probabilistic approach. The experimental and simulation results are presented, compared and discussed. We conclude that the probabilistic computer simulation of martensite spread could successfully describe important quantitative aspects of martensite spread Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Sorry, the previous announcement had a wrong date Tuesday, February 9, 2016 from 12:00 to 13:00 LUISS room 207 Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma Speaker Roberto Cominetti (Universidad Adolfo Ibañez) Title "Risk measures and shortest paths in network games" ABSTRACT: We consider network congestion games with risk-averse players. We review some recent proposals for computing risk-sensitive optimal paths, starting from the simplest Markowitz approach based on mean-stdev optimization. This approach presents some significant drawbacks in terms of its computational complexity, lack of monotonicity, as well as a dynamic inconsistency phenomenon which arises when one re-evaluates an optimal path along the way. This inconsistency also affects other popular measures of risk such as VaR, CVaR, and semi-deviations. As a matter of fact, under minimal conditions, we show that the only risk measures that are dynamically consistent are the so-called "entropic risk measures". With these measures, and assuming that link travel times are independent, a risk-sensitive optimal path reduces to a standard shortest path problem which can be solved efficiently. This extends directly to equilibrium situations where the network is used concurrently by many players. However, link travel time correlations are to be expected in game situations, which gives rise to a number of issues and questions that will be pointed out during the talk. This talk is based on joint work with Alfredo Torrico.
