Colloquium – Thomas Banchoff, Brown University and Sewanee, The University of the South
230 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, AL, United StatesTopic: Folds, Intersections, and Inflections: Distinguishing Cylinders from Moebius Bands Abstract: On a smooth or polyhedral surface a strip neighborhood of a closed curve is either an orientable cylinder or a non-orientable Moebius band. How can we distinguish which form it has by observing singular fold chains for projections to planes or self-intersection curves of
Colloquium – Shibo Liu, Xiamen University
302 Gordon Palmer HallMINIMIZATION METHODS AND EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS The purpose of this lecture is to demonstrate the power of variational methods in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations to people working in other field of mathematics. The equations considered here are variational, namely there is an energy functional defined on certain Sobolev spaces, whose

Colloquium – Rodolfo Torres, University of Kansas
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: Some harmonic analysis in mixed Lebesgue spaces Abstract: Mixed Lebesgue spaces have attracted interests in harmonic analysis since the early 60's. These spaces naturally appear when considering functions with different quantitative behavior on different sets of variables on which they depend. For example, this is the case when considering functions with physical relevance and that depend on both
Colloquium – Hailiang Liu, Iowa State University
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesEntropy Satisfying Numerical Methods for Fokker-Planck-type Equations Kinetic Fokker-Planck equations arise in many applications, and thus there has been considerable interest in the development of accurate numerical methods to solve them. The peculiar feature of these models is that the transient solution converges to certain equilibrium when time becomes large. For the numerical method to
Pi Mu Epsilon Seminar – David Cruz-Uribe
302 Gordon Palmer Hall“The bread and butter of first semester calculus are optimization problems. In this talk we will start with a classic example: given a rectangular sheet of metal/paper/cardboard, cut equal size squares from each corner so that the sides can be folded up to make an open top box. Given the dimensions of the original rectangle,
Colloquium – Todd Burwell, Boeing Research & Technology
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: An Overview of Applied Mathematics at Boeing Abstract: In this talk we will give an overview of Boeing Research and Technology and discuss how we support the major Boeing business units. We will discuss research and consulting in Applied Mathematics in an industrial setting and give a few examples from Statistics and Operations Research
Colloquium – Stefan Richter, University of Tennessee
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesWEAK PRODUCTS, HANKEL OPERATORS, AND INVARIANT SUBSPACES When studying the Hardy space of analytic functions on a region, it is natural to view it as part of the family of Hp-spaces, and investigate how properties of the functions and operators on these spaces change as the parameter p changes. For reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces like the
