Announcement: STAR Online Seminar
by michele giordano 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Dear all, This is a reminder for the: STAR Online Seminars. - The seminar will be held Friday 18. December from 11:00-12:00 . You will recieve the link for the Zoom room by registering for the seminar with the link provided at the end of this mail. The lecture will last for 45 minutes + questions. This week's speaker is Federica Masiero - Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, with the seminar: Regularizing properties and HJB equations for stochastic problems with delay Abstract: In this talk we consider stochastic differential equations with delay. It is well known that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck transition semigroup doesn’t have regularizing properties, such as the strong Feller property. So in general, the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation cannot be solved in mild sense by a classical fixed point argument. We present a result of existence of regular solutions for the HJB equations related to a stochastic controlled equation with delay in the control and in the case when, as it often occurs in applications, the objective function depends only on the “present” of the state and control variable. The result is based on partial regularization results for the associated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. In analogy, we investigate partial reularizing properties in the case of delay in the state and with a special dependence on the past trajectory, and we solve in mild sense the associated HJB equation and the stochastic controlled problem related. The talk is mainly based on joint works with F. Gozzi and G. Tessitore. After the end of the seminar, you are invited to bring a cup of coffee/tea and have a chat in our Coffee in the Stars here you will have the chance to talk and interact with the other persons that attended the seminar, and have a digital "coffee break". We are looking forward to see you, online!

09 Dec '20

|| || |Dear colleagues, | ||||||| LTI@UniTO (www.carloalberto.org/lti <www.carloalberto.org/lti>) and Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following webinar in Finance: | | “Equilibrium Bid-Price Dispersion” Speaker: Albert Menkveld (VU Amsterdam), _https://albertjmenkveld.com/about/ <https://albertjmenkveld.com/about/> _ Abstract: If bidding in a common-value auction is costly and if bidders do not know how many others are also bidding, all equilibria are in mixed strategies. Participation is probabilistic and bid prices are dispersed. The symmetric equilibrium is unique and yields simple analytic expressions. We use them to, for example, show that bid prices exhibit negative skewness. The expressions are further used to estimate the model based on bidding on an S&P500 security. We find that the number of bidders declined over time, making liquidity supply fragile. You can join the webinar via zoom at the following link: | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81439851376?pwd=YUFsWXFvNldTaEMrTW55VE5kaXJiQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81439851376?pwd=YUFsWXFvNldTaEMrTW55VE5kaXJiQT09> Meeting ID: 814 3985 1376 Passcode: 753282 Best regards, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti ||

Avviso di Seminario
by Domenico Marinucci 09 Dec '20

Avviso di Seminario Speaker: Michele Salvi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) Orario: Lunedì 14 dicembre, ore 13 Titolo: Scale-free percolation in continuous space Link al collegamento su Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MWI2ZWY1N2QtMTQ3Zi00… Abstract: The scale-free percolation random graph features three fundamental properties that are often present in large real-world structures (social networks, communication networks, inter-banking systems and so on), but which are never present at once in classical models: (1) Scale-free: the degree of the nodes follows a power law; (2) Small-world: two nodes are typically at a very small graph distance; (3) Positive clustering coefficient: two nodes with a common neighbour have a good chance to be linked. We study a continuous version of scale-free percolation and its possible application to the statistical analysis of a dataset provided by the French Ministry of Agriculture. We discuss some stochastic processes (random walks and particle systems) on this kind of structures with the final goal of understanding how an epidemic would spread. Il seminario rientra tra le attività del Progetto di eccellenza MIUR 2018-2022 Math@Tov.

Padova Online Seminar by Gianmarco Bet (Università di Firenze) [Friday, Dec. 18 at 11.30]
by alessandra bianchi 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on December 18 at 11.30 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Gianmarco Bet (Università di Firenze) Title: Detecting anomalies in complex networks 18 DECEMBER (Friday) - 11:30 zoom link: TBA (available on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ ) Abstract: Recently there has been an increasing interest in the development of statistical techniques and algorithms that exploit the structure of large complex-network data to analyze networks more efficiently. For this talk, I will focus on detection problems. In this context, the goal is to detect the presence of some sort of anomaly in the network, and possibly even identify the nodes/edges responsible. Our work is inspired by the problem of detecting so-called botnets. Examples are fake user profiles in a social network or servers infected by a computer virus on the internet. Typically a botnet represents a potentially malicious anomaly in the network, and thus it is of great practical interest to detect its presence and, when detected, to identify the corresponding vertices. Accordingly, numerous empirical studies have analyzed botnet detection problems and techniques. However, theoretical models and algorithmic guarantees are missing so far. We introduce a simplified model for a botnet, and approach the detection problem from a statistical perspective. More precisely, under the null hypothesis we model the network as a sample from a geometric random graph, whereas under the alternative hypothesis there are a few botnet vertices that ignore the underlying geometry and simply connect to other vertices in an independent fashion. We present two statistical tests to detect the presence of these botnets, and we show that they are asymptotically powerful, i.e., they correctly distinguish the null and the alternative with probability tending to one as the number of vertices increases. We also propose a method to identify the botnet vertices. We will argue, using numerical simulations, that our tests perform well for finite networks, even when the underlying graph model is slightly perturbed. Our work is not limited in scope to botnet detection, and in fact is relevant whenever the nature of the anomaly to be detected is a change in the underlying connection criteria. Based on joint work with Kay Bogerd (TU/e), Rui Pires da Silva Castro (TU/e) and Remco van der Hofstad (TU/e). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

seminar series on Mathematics of Reaction Networks
by Daniele Cappelletti 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Dear colleagues, This mail is to announce a new online seminar series on the “Mathematics of Reaction Networks” (MoRN). Reaction networks are mathematical models mainly used in biochemistry, with the scope of describing the dynamics of particles of different kinds that interact in a homogeneous environment. The mathematics used to study these models sits at the interface of stochastic process theory, algebra, graph theory, analysis. The seminar will take place twice a month over zoom (Thursday on the 2nd and 4th week of the month, 17.00 Rome time), and consist of two 25-minute long talks followed by longer discussions. The exciting program for the first three sessions is available on the seminar page: https://researchseminars.org/seminar/MoRN The first two talks will be given on Thursday November 12 by David Anderson from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (he will talk about connections between neural networks and the modeling regime of reaction networks) and Lea Popovic from Concordia University (she will introduce a multiscale stochastic model for interacting particles in a heterogeneous environment, and study its fluid limit). More details are given in the seminar webpage. New talks will appear on the seminar webpage, as well as the zoom link. If the speaker agrees, talks will be recorded and added to youtube with a private link, and the link will be shared on the seminar webpage. On the webpage you can subscribe to a mailing list, and you can add the seminar into your calendar. We will send a reminder two days before each talk to subscribed people. Best wishes, Daniele Cappelletti (co-organizing the seminar series with Elisenda Feliu and Stefan Mueller)
