Algebra/Topology Seminar – Patricia Cahn (Smith College)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Colored Tri-Plane Diagrams and the Slice-Ribbon Problem Abstract: We study dihedral branched covers of the four-dimensional sphere, where the branching set is a surface with one singularity modeled on the cone on a knot K. We construct examples of these covers using colored tri-plane diagrams, which are triples of tangles that can be used
Pi Mu Epsilon – Patricia Cahn (Smith College)
302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Stranger Strings Abstract: How can we describe all spaces of a given dimension? We'll start by describing 2-dimensional spaces, which look like donuts with any number of holes. Then we'll learn how to describe 3-dimensional spaces, by using knots to build portals in our familiar 3-dimensional space R^3.

Applied Math Seminar – Volodymyr Melnykov (University of Alabama)
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Prof. Volodymyr Melnykov, Department of Information Systems, Statistics, and Management Science, UA Title: On the role of transformations in finite mixture modeling and model-based clustering Abstract: The role of transformations in modeling data groups is investigated. First, situations with known finite sets of possible transformations are considered. Such transformations can occur in the presence
Analysis Seminar – David Cruz-Uribe (University of Alabama)
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Poincare inequalities and Neumann problems for the p-Laplacian Abstract: I will discuss my recent work with Scott Rodney on the following equivalence: the existence of solutions to a degenerate p-Laplacian equation and the existence of a weighted (p,p) Poincare inequality. Our results are in the context of degenerate Sobolev spaces, where the degeneracy is
Applied Math Seminar – Xuan He (University of Alabama)
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Euler's elastica based models and algorithms in image processing Abstract: Elastica regularizers have been studied in recent years by the image processing community. In this talk, we will first discuss and compare properties of segmentation models with L^1 and L^2 Elastica regularizers by using a novel augmented Lagrangian method based algorithm that captures curvature
