Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Microorganism Swimming Motions Microscopic swimmers like bacteria and spermatozoa live in highly viscous environments. Their locomotion and the fluid flows they generate around them have been actively investigated for the last 60 years motivated by questions about effective locomotion strategies, the organism's interaction with the surrounding environment, patterns of collective

Title: Time reversal acoustic communication in the ocean Abstract: The global marine ecosystem is undergoing significant changes due to human activities and natural processes. These changes call for enhanced capabilities to sample and communicate in the oceans. With this background, underwater acoustic communication has attracted much attention across multiple disciplines, as this key subsea technology

Title: The boundedness of multilinear Calderon-Zygmund operators on weighted and variable spaces. Abstract: In this talk, we will establish the boundedness of the above operators from a product of weighted Hardy spaces into a weighted Hardy space or weighted Lebesgue space. Our work extends a result of Stromberg and Torchinsky for linear operators to multilinear

Title: Complete minors of self-complementary graphs. Abstract: A self-complementary graph on n vertices is a graph which is isomorphic to its graph complement within K_n,  the complete graph on n vertices.  These graphs have a high degree of structure, and yet they are far from trivial. This talk focuses on minors of self-complementary graphs. Minors

Title: A Priori and a posteriori error estimate for weak Galerkin finite element method on polygonal meshes Abstract:  Polygonal mesh has advantages including lower DOFs requirement for the same level of accuracy and more flexibility in generating mesh, and better mesh quality over standard discretization with quad mesh or triangular mesh. Also the hanging nodes

AWM – Martha Makowski, University of Alabama

Despite a large focus on promoting diversity in the STEM fields, nationally only around 25% of PhD's in the mathematical sciences are awarded to women. This talk will introduce and review some of the educational research that examines issues of recruitment and retention of women in mathematics. Discussion and reflection on these issues with the

Title: Weighted restricted weak type inequalities Abstract: We review classical results concerning the bounds of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on weighted Lorentz spaces and discuss the analogous bounds for the pointwise product of such operators. A new Hölder-type inequality for Lorentz spaces is used.
