Analysis Seminar – Joshua Isralowitz (SUNY Albany)

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Sparse domination of commutators via matrix techniques Abstract: In this talk, we will show how one can obtain sparse domination of iterated commutators from a convex body domination of an operator via a simple algebraic trick.  Time permitting, we discuss consequences and related results, such as a bumped Orlicz BMO type sufficient condition for the two

Analysis Seminar – Scott Rodney, Cape Breton University

Title: Regularity Estimates for PDE with Data in Non-Standard Spaces Abstract: In this talk I present recent joint work with D. Cruz-Uribe. Given a weak super-solution $u\in W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ of the elliptic equation $$-\textrm{Div}\left(Q(x)\nabla u(x) \right) = f(x)$$ in a smooth domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $f$ in the Birnbaum-Orlicz space $L^A(\Omega)$ ($A(t) = t^{n/2}\log^\sigma(e+t)$ with

Applied Math Seminar – Karl Glasner (University of Arizona)

Mathematical Aspects of Nanoscale Self-Assembly Self-assembly is a fundamental process for creation of both biological and synthetic materials. The latter are being employed in important biotechnological applications like drug delivery, as well as forming the basis for molecular sized machines. Recent advances in nanoscale fabrication in polymer systems, in particular, has lead to growing interest

Colloquium: Jo Ellis-Monaghan (Saint Michael’s College)

Title:  Combinatorial, topological, and computational approaches to DNA self-assembly. Abstract: Applications of immediate concern have driven some of the most interesting questions in the field of graph theory, for example graph drawing and computer chip layout problems, random graph theory and modeling the internet, graph connectivity measures and ecological systems, etc.  Currently, scientists are engineering

Analysis Seminar – Xuan Wang (University of Alabama)

Title: Harmonic Conjugation in Variable Exponent Harmonic Bergman Spaces Abstract: I will talk about the harmonic conjugation in variable harmonic Bergman space. In the first part of the talk, I'll provide an overview of the main result for constant exponent spaces.  Then I'll illustrate our latest research on the boundedness of harmonic conjugation in variable harmonic Bergman

Applied Math Seminar – Yajun Mei (Georgia Tech)

Title: Bandit change-point detection and its application Abstract: We investigate the problem of bandit change-point problem when monitoring high-dimensional streaming data in resources constrained environments, where one has limited capacity in data acquisition, transmission or processing, and needs decide how to smartly observe which local components or features of high-dimensional streaming data at each and

Colloquium – Changyou Wang (Purdue University)

Title: Analysis of hydrodynamics of nematic liquid crystals Abstract: The orientation of Liquid crystal molecules has their preferable direction and exhibits an optical structure. Liquid crystal can also been viewed as an intermediate state between the liquid and the solid states. Given the importance, people have studied liquid crystals from the view point of modeling, computation, analysis, and engineering. In

Analysis Seminar – Yuanzhen Shao (University of Alabama

Title: The Fractional Porous Medium Equation on Manifolds with Conic Singularities Abstract: Due to the need to model long range diffusive interaction, during the last decade there has been a growing interest in considering diffusion equations involving non-local operators, e.g. the fractional powers of differential operators. In this talk, I will report some recent work

Analysis Seminar – Tim Ferguson (University of Alabama)

Title: Bergman and Szego projections, Extremal Problems, and Square Functions Abstract: We study estimates for Hardy space norms of analytic projections. We first find a sufficient condition for the Bergman projection of a function in the unit disc to belong to the Hardy space $H^p$ for $1 < p < \infty$. We apply the result to prove

Title: Phase field method for geometric moving interface problems and their numerical approximations Abstract:  In this talk I shall first give a brief introduction to the phase field method for general geometric moving interface problems. The focus will be on presenting its idea, formulation,and relationship to other methods for moving interface problems such as the
