Analysis Seminar – Shibin Dai (University of Alabama)
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: An introduction to Gamma convergence Abstract: Many mathematical problems involve parameters that make those problems more and more complex or degenerate. It is of great interest to study the limiting behavior when the parameter varies. One class of such problems can be studied in a variational framework. Writing $F_\epsilpon$ as a class of functional
Applied Math Seminar – Khanh Dinh (University of Alabama)
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: An adaptive Magnus expansion method for solving the chemical master equation with time-dependent propensities Abstract: The chemical master equation (CME) is a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to model the chemical interaction of molecular species. The large size of the state space of the system makes solving the CME difficult, and this has

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Applied Mathematics for Soft Robotics Abstract: Soft materials are a bulk or composite collection of matter that undergoes deformations of similar or greater magnitude than the deformation of the environment, either plastically or elastically, within the force regime applied by its environment. For roboticists, soft materials can withstand impacts, are elastic and highly deformable,

Association of Women in Mathematics President Ami Radunskaya
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesAmi's talk will include her extraordinary career journey. We will learn how she undertook the task of encouraging and inspiring women and girls to study and have active careers in mathematical sciences. She will also discuss her research in mathematical modeling of tumor growth and treatment, dynamical systems and analysis of non-linear models of
Colloquium – Maria Laura delle Monache (Inria Grenoble – Rhône Alpes)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: 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 StatesAbstract. 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.
