Seminar in Pisa: Ruojun Huang
by Francesco Grotto 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) to be held Wednesday (April 6th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 6th, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) Title: Coagulation under environmental noise Abstract: Environmental noise in a continuum interacting particle system is a space-dependent noise acting on all particles simultaneously. We prove that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses, subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation, converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) with Smoluchowski-type nonlinearity. It partially extends a result of Hammond-Rezakhanlou (2007) who considered the PDE case, with our motivation coming from trying to understand the effect of turbulence on rain formations. Based on a joint work with Franco Flandoli.

Thanks, Matt ---------------- Pathway to Research scheme - a scheme for students completing, or having completed, a BSc or taught Masters The SAMBa CDT, based in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, is seeking applicants to its Pathway to Research scheme. This will provide three people, who have the potential to be excellent mathematical researchers, but who have – for any number of reasons – not been able to take advantage of enough mathematical training to get them ready for PhD research, with a year long programme of training and mentorship in a research environment, plus a £10,000 bursary, resulting in an MSc qualification. https://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/start-your-research-career-in-mathematics-… Barriers to academic progress that applicants may have faced could include significant caring responsibilities, the need to work during their studies, a lack of access to fundamental mathematics courses (e.g. Further Maths A level), having had a restricted choice of location for their undergraduate degree, and there will be many more. It may be that there are people on your courses, or those who have recently graduated, who are unaware that a career in research mathematics was even an option and please can I encourage you to make them aware of this scheme. The deadline for applications is 16th May, with a visit day for those who apply planned for 26th May. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the APPLIEDPROB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=APPLIEDPROB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/APPLIEDPROB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/

Seminario Caponera Tor Vergata
by Domenico Marinucci 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Cari colleghi venerdì prossimo 1 aprile alle ore 15.30 avrà luogo presso il Dipartimento di Matematica di Roma Tor Vergata il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aula 1200, Edificio Sogene Speaker: Alessia Caponera (EPFL) Title: Nonparametric Estimation of Covariance and Autocovariance Operators on the Sphere Abstract: We propose nonparametric estimators for the second-order central moments of spherical random fields within a functional data context. We consider a measurement framework where each field among an identically distributed collection of spherical random fields is sampled at a few random directions, possibly subject to measurement error. The collection of fields could be i.i.d. or serially dependent. Though similar setups have already been explored for random functions defined on the unit interval, the nonparametric estimators proposed in the literature often rely on local polynomials, which do not readily extend to the (product) spherical setting. We therefore formulate our estimation procedure as a variational problem involving a generalized Tikhonov regularization term. The latter favours smooth covariance/autocovariance functions, where the smoothness is specified by means of suitable Sobolev-like pseudo-differential operators. Using the machinery of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, we establish representer theorems that fully characterize the form of our estimators. We determine their uniform rates of convergence as the number of fields diverges, both for the dense (increasing number of spatial samples) and sparse (bounded number of spatial samples) regimes. We moreover validate and demonstrate the practical feasibility of our estimation procedure in a simulation setting. Based on a joint work with Julien Fageot, Matthieu Simeoni and Victor M. Panaretos -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Padua Probability Seminar: Jodi Dianetti (this Friday)
by Markus 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Dear All, This Friday,*Jodi Dianetti* (Center for Mathematical Economics, Bielefeld University) will give a seminar talk on Submodular mean field games, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Friday, April 1, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: Submodular mean field games: Existence and approximation of solutions * Abstract: We study mean field games with scalar Itô-type dynamics and costs that are submodular with respect to a suitable order relation on the state and measure space. The submodularity assumption has a number of interesting consequences. Firstly, it allows us to prove existence of solutions via an application of Tarski's fixed point theorem, covering cases with discontinuous dependence on the measure variable. Secondly, it ensures that the set of solutions enjoys a lattice structure: in particular, there exist a minimal and a maximal solution. Thirdly, it guarantees that those two solutions can be obtained through a simple learning procedure based on the iterations of the best-response-map. Our approach also allows to treat submodular mean field games with common noise, as well as mean field games with singular controls, optimal stopping and reflecting boundary conditions. This talks is based on some joint works together with Giorgio Ferrari, Markus Fischer and Max Nendel.
