Increasingly, we are confronted with very high dimensional data sets. As a result, methods of avoiding the curse of dimensionality have come to the forefront of machine learning research. One approach, which relies on exploiting the geometry of the...

Dr. Sinha's talk will cover both genome analysis of pathogens (HIV-1 in particular), SIR type models, and statistical modelling of disease prevalence data (of Malaria).

Abstract: Since the historic first applications of the “standard model of viral dynamics” in 1994, mathematical modelling has been shifting paradigms about the HIV infection by identifying unexpected mechanisms behind observed patterns. The aim...

We consider moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on an elliptically fibered K3 surface, so that the first Chern class of the sheaves is a numerical section. For pairs of complementary such moduli spaces subject to numerical restrictions, we establish...

A simulated annealing method for calculating stationary states for models that describe continuous media is proposed. The method is based on the noncanonical Poisson bracket formulation of media, which is used to construct Dirac brackets with desired...

AbstractWe study the periodic Cauchy problem for an integrable equation with cubic nonlinearities introduced by Novikov. Like the Camassa–Holm and Degasperis–Procesi equations, Novikov’s equation has Lax pair representations and admits peakon...

This talk will focus on one of thenumerous aspects of nonlinear dispersive equations brilliantly introduced by Ian during a previous talk: solitons. i will try first to explain how they arise in the study of such equations, then how the power in...
