Many problems in science and engineering are described in terms of equilibrium shapes on which certain conditions are imposed and which separate regions where the solution may have different properties. A prototypical problem of this type involves...

Efficient and accurate simulation of electromagnetic responses of geologically-rich geophysical settings is crucial in a variety of scenarios, including mineral and petroleum exploration, water resource utilizations, and geothermal power extractions...

In both normal tissue and disease states, cells interact with one another, and other tissue components using cellular adhesion proteins. These interactions are fundamental in determining tissue fates, and the outcomes of normal development, and...

To understand the fluid dynamics of marine phenomena fluid-structure interaction problems must be solved. Challenges exist in developing analytical and numerical techniques to solve these complex flow problems with boundary conditions at fluid...

Introduction to the block element method, a new mathematical method based on high-level mathematics. The method is applicable to boundary value problems for partial differential equations and their systems. The method includes a number of other...

The CanaDAM conference will bring together researchers from the various disciplines with which discrete and algorithmic mathematics interact. Particular areas of interest are the following: graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets...

A wide overview of mathematical techniques of interest in various big data problems. Organizers: Cedric Chauve, Mathematics - SFU Tamon Stephen, Mathematics - SFU

Einsteins theory of General Relativity (GR) works remarkably well on Earth and inside our Solar System. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of gravity. One is the long- standing quest for a quantum theory of gravity. The other...

In many engineering applications governed by PDEs, the parameters of the equations (coefficients, forcing terms, boundary and initial conditions, shape of the domain) are not known exactly but rather affected by a certain degree of uncertainties, and...

We will discuss properties of solutions to aggregation-diffusion models appearing in many biological models such as cell adhesion, organogenesis and pattern formation. We will concentrate on typical behaviours encountered in systems of these equations...
