• Applied Math Seminar: Michael Perlmutter (UCLA)

    Claremont, CA, United States

    Title:Geometric Scattering on Measure Spaces Abstract: Geometric Deep Learning is an emerging field of research that aims to extend the success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to data with non-Euclidean geometric structure. Despitebeing in its relative infancy, this field has already found great success in many applications such as recommender systems, computer graphics, and traffic […]

  • The Fell topology and the modular Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity (Jiahui Yu, Pomona College)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    Given a unital AF (approximately finite-dimensional) algebra A equipped with a faithful tracial state, we equip each (norm-closed two-sided) ideal of A with a metrized quantum vector bundle structure, when canonically viewed as a module over A, in the sense of Latrémolière using previous work of Aguilar and Latrémolière. Moreover, we show that convergence of […]

  • Existence and uniqueness of minimizers in variational problems (Wilfrid Gangbo, UCLA)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    We comment on the main steps to take when studying some variational problems. This includes optimization problems arising in geometry, machine learning, non linear elasticity, fluid mechanics, etc... For the sake of illustration, in this talk, we keep our focus on a minimization problem obtained after a time-discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Elementary geometric […]

  • Robust properties of graphs (Asaf Ferber, UC Irvine)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    In this talk we will consider some notions of `robustness' of graph/hypergraph properties. We will survey some existing results and will try to emphasize the following new result (joint with […]

  • How Many Cards Can Avoid a SET? (Prof. Mohamed Omar, Harvey Mudd College)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: How Many Cards Can Avoid a SET? Speaker: Mohamed Omar, Department of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: SET is a popular real-time card game where players search for special triples of cards […]

  • The Hilbert space approach in the theory of differential equations (Adolfo Rumbos, Pomona College)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    In this talk we discuss the Hilbert space approach, or the variational approach, in the study of questions of existence and multiplicity for some two-point boundary-value problems for nonlinear, second order, ordinary differential equations (ODEs).  We illustrate the use of the Hilbert space approach in obtaining some old existence results for periodic solutions of a […]
