Colloquium – Kyungyong Lee, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Topic:  Introduction to cluster algebras Abstract: The theory of cluster algebras is one of the most mathematically well-studied areas in mathematical physics. Since its discovery in 2001, it has been shown that cluster algebras are related to diverse areas of mathematics such as algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, knot theory, total positivity, quiver representations, string theory, statistical

Title:  Predict the Ligand-Receptor Binding/Unbinding Kinetics with the Variational Implicit-Solvent Model and the String Method Abstract:  The ligand-receptor binding/unbinding is a complex biophysical process in which water plays a critical role. To understand the fundamental mechanisms of such a process, we have developed a new and efficient approach that combines our level-set variational implicit-solvent model

Title: A lower-order image denoising model for staircase reduction Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss a total-variation based lower-order image denoising model that is able to reduce the well-known staircasing phenomenon possessed by the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi model. To minimize the proposed variational model, we employ augmented Lagrangian method (ALM). Convergence analysis is established for the

Title: Sufficient dimension reduction for high dimensional data Abstract: The high dimensional data generated from modern scientific discoveries introduces unique challenges to statistical modeling. Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) is a useful tool to bridge the gap through projection subspace recovery. In this study, a new formulation is proposed based on the Hellinger integral of order

Speaker: John-Oliver MacLellan Title: Necessity of Two Weight Ap for L^p Boundedness of Singular Integral Operators Abstract:  The goal of this talk is to investigate necessary conditions for a singular integral operator to map L^p(v)-> L^p(u).  I will review the classical results for the maximal operator and Hilbert transform and then talk about more recent

Title: Decentralized consensus optimization on networks with delayed and stochastic gradients Abstract: Decentralized consensus optimization has extensive applications in many emerging big data, machine learning, and sensor network problems. In decentralized computing, nodes in a network privately hold parts of the objective function and need to collaboratively solve for the consensual optimal solution of the
