Title: Renormalization and wild attractors for Fibonacci maps Abstract: A Fibonacci map is a piecewise defined map of a subset of an interval I onto I with a unique critical […]

Title: Smooth non-decaying solutions to the 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations Abstract: In this talk we explore the two-dimensional dissipative surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation with fractional diffusion of order 2α for […]

Title: Bi-Lipschitz Invariants Abstract: Consider a finite-dimensional real vector space and a finite group acting unitarily on it. We investigate the general problem of constructing Euclidean stable embeddings of the quotient space of orbits. Our embedding relies on subsets of sorted coorbits with respect to chosen window vectors. Our main injectivity results examine the conditions […]

Title: Do Taxes Affect Pre-Tax Income Inequality? Evidence from 100 Years of U.S. States Abstract: We study how U.S. state taxes have affected pre-tax income inequality during the last century. Our primary analysis focuses on the top marginal personal income and corporate income tax, and their effect on top incomes and top income shares within […]

Title: Learning on manifolds without manifold learning Abstract: Function approximation based on data drawn randomly from an unknown distribution is an important problem in machine learning. The manifold hypothesis assumes that the data is sampled from an unknown submanifold of a high dimensional Euclidean space. A great deal of research deals with obtaining information about […]

Title: Randomly pivoted Cholesky: Fast, accurate matrix approximation for scientific machine learning Abstract: Low-rank approximation of positive semidefinite matrices is a basic problem in computational mathematics, with many applications to […]

Title: Erlang-Distributed SEIR Epidemical Models Abstract: We examine the effects of different dynamics in epidemiological models, focusing on two key approaches. The first model incorporates reaction-diffusion dynamics, where susceptible individuals […]

Title: Modeling viral STI epidemics Abstract: We will describe an SIR model of viral sexually transmitted infections in a population structured by sex and sexual preference and its validation in the simple SI case from HIV data incidence. We will also use the model to establish a plausible structure of the U.S. population by sexual […]

Title:    Randomized Kaczmarz Methods for Corrupted Tensor Linear Systems Abstract: Recovering tensor-valued signals from corrupted measurements is a central problem in various applications such as hyperspectral image reconstruction and medical […]

Title: TBA Abstract: TBA

Abstract: Two-point boundary-value problems (BVPs) appear frequently in applied mathematics.  When looking for solutions of boundary-value problems for some partial differential equations (PDEs) in mathematical physics, two-point BVPs come up […]

Abstract: The 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal intensified public demand for governance reform, leading to the creation of the Los Angeles Charter Reform Commission. The commission is now considering […]
