Colloquium – Maria Laura delle Monache (Inria Grenoble – Rhône Alpes)

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Topic:  Control of traffic flow: from ramp metering to autonomous vehicles Abstract: In this talk, we will consider different control frameworks for traffic flow. In particular, we will show the evolution of traffic control from classical strategies (for example ramp-metering) to more modern approaches using autonomous vehicles. We will introduce different ways to describe mathematically

Analysis Seminar – Bingyuan Liu (University of California, Riverside) Geometry of the @-Neumann problem and the D{F index

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Abstract. We shall rst introduce the classical works of Hormander and Kohn on the L2 estimates of the @(-Neumann) problem on bounded domains and then describe applications in complex geometry. It turns out that the boundary geometry plays the fundamental role in the Sobolev estimates of the @ solution. The Diederich{Fornss index is the geometric invariant which predicts the estimates.

Title: A Multi-scale Approach to  Limit Cycles with Random Perturbations Involving Fast Switching and Small Diffusion Abstract: This talk is devoted to multi-scale stochastic systems. The motivation is to treat limit cycles under random perturbations involving fast  random switching and small diffusion, which are represented by the use of two small parameters. Associated with the

Title: Cotlar’s Inequality Abstract: We will go over Cotlar’s classic inequality concerning the maximal truncation operator of a Calderon-Zygmund operator.  We will also cover some recent results for operators that satisfy a stronger Cotlar inequality.

Applied Math Seminar – Haomin Zhou, Georgia Institute of Technology

Title: Optimal Transport on Finite Graphs with Applications Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the optimal transport theory on discrete spaces. Various recent developments related to free energy, Fokker-Planck equations, as well as Wasserstein distance on graphs will be presented, some of them are rather surprising. Applications in game theory and robotics will be
