Generalizations of the geometric de Bruijn Erdős Theorem

Event Date: May 08, 2019 in ACGO, Seminars

Abstract: A classic Theorem of de Bruijn and Erdős states that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. The line L(u, v) determined by two points u, v in the plane consists of all points p such that dist(p, u) + dist(u, v) = dist(p, v) (i.e. u is between p and v) or • dist(u, p) + dist(p, v) = dist(u, v) (i.e. p is between u and v) or • dist(u, v) + dist(v, p) = dist(u, p) (i.e. v is between u and p). With this definition of line L(uv) in an arbitrary metric space (V, dist), Chen and Chvátal...

Decay of small odd solutions of the long range Schrödinger and Hartree equations in one dimension.

Event Date: May 07, 2019 in Differential Equations, Seminars

  Abstract: We consider the long time asymptotics of (not necessarily small) odd solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with semilinear and nonlocal Hartree nonlinearities, in one dimension space. We assume data in the energy space only and we prove decay to zero in compact regions of space as time tends to infinity. We give three different results were decay holds: NLS without potential, NLS with potential and Hartree (defocusing case). The proof is based in the use of suitable virial identities and covers all range of scattering...

Enhancing Mathematics Instruction to Facilitate Student Participation: Studying Elementary Classrooms Using Head-Mounted Cameras

Event Date: Apr 29, 2019 in Education, Seminars

Resumen: During the talk participants will view video clips filmed by third grade students who wore head-mounted cameras and discuss an intervention that helped teachers learn about how to support the development of mathematics and student interactions.

Cost functionals for large random trees

Event Date: Apr 25, 2019 in Núcleo Modelos Estocásticos de Sistemas Complejos y Desordenados, Seminars, Stochastic Modeling

Abstract : Additive tree functionals allow to represent the cost of many divide-and-conquer algorithms. We give an invariance principle for such tree functionals for the Catalan model and for simply generated trees . In the Catalan model, this relies on the natural embedding into the Brownian excursion.  (Joint work with Jean-François Delmas and Marion Sciauveau)

ALMOST DESCRIPTION OF DECAY FOR HAMILTONIAN ABCD SYSTEM CHULKWANG KWAK

Event Date: Apr 23, 2019 in Differential Equations, Seminars

ABSTRACT The Boussinesq abcd system was originally derived by Bona, Chen and Saut [J. Nonlinear. Sci. (2002)] as first order 2-wave approximations of the incompressible and irrotational, two dimensional water wave equations in the shallow water wave regime. Among many particular regimes, the Hamiltonian generic regime is characterized by the setting b = d > 0 and a,c < 0. It is known that the system in this regime is globally well-posed for small data in the energy space H1 × H1 by Bona, Chen and Saut [Nonlinearity (2004)]. In this...

Finding 2-factors without triangles

Event Date: Apr 17, 2019 in ACGO, Seminars

Abstract: A 2-factor is a set of edges M of a graph G such that each vertex is incident to exactly two edges of M. Thus M determines a set of cycles in G.   One can efficiently compute minimum cost 2-factors in weighted graphs. It is open whether one can do the same, if we forbid triangles, i.e., each cycle has at least four edges. For the unweighted case, a complicated result of Hartvigsen shows that one can find such a 2-matching in polynomial time.   In the talk, we will review known results related to finding triangle free...

Liouville dynamical percolation & The signature method

Event Date: Apr 16, 2019 in Núcleo Modelos Estocásticos de Sistemas Complejos y Desordenados, Seminars, Stochastic Modeling

Seminario doble conjunto Modelamiento Estocástico / Núcleo Milenio MESCYD Primera Sesión: 3pm Avelio Sepúlveda (U. Lyon 1) Liouville dynamical percolation A dynamical percolation is a process on black and white colourings of the vertices of a graph, in which each vertex has an independent Poissonian clock, and each time a clock rings the colour of its correspondent vertex is resampled. In this talk, we will study a dynamical percolation in the triangular grid, using clocks whose rate is defined in terms of a Liouville measure of parameter...
