We study Caccioppoli’'s inequalities of the non-stationary Stokes equations and Navier-Stokes equations. Our analysis is local near boundary and we prove that, in contrast to the interior case, the Caccioppoli’'s inequalities of the Stokes equations...

A natural way to understand groups visually is by examining objects on which the group has a natural permutation action. In fact, this is often the way we first show groups to undergraduate students: introducing the cyclic and dihedral groups as the...

Due to incliment weather at UBC- Vancouver, this seminar is cancelled and will be rescheduled later. The notion of conformal walk dimension serves as a bridge between elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequalities. The importance of this notion is due...

Due to inclement weather, this talk has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date. Bacteria collective migration can spontaneously emerge when individuals follow common rules of interaction (chemotaxis), and a biased leakage during the...

This talk is devoted to variational problems on the set of probability measures which involve optimal transport between unequal dimensional spaces. In particular, we study the minimization of a functional consisting of the sum of a term reflecting...

Results on a two way convection-diffusion problem; an asymptotic error analysis on a piece-wise uniform grid; and a framework for understanding quadrature errors in Finite Element Methods are presented. These results were never published, although I...

The cohomology ring of the Grassmannian, the set of k-dimensional subspaces in n-dimensional space, can be described by Schur functions, a symmetric function that are characters of the special linear Lie group. To study the K-theory ring, the...

Please bring your favourite (math) problems. Anyone with a problem to share will be given about 5 minutes to present it. We will also choose most of the speakers for the rest of the semester.

Different mathematical models (direct and indirect transmission models) were used to understand and analyze different infectious diseases dynamics and possible prevention and/or elimination strategies. As a first step, an age of infection model with...
