Applied math. talk: Blowup rate estimates of a singular potential in the Landau-de Gennes theory for liquid crystals by Xiang Xu, Old Dominion University.
Zoom meeting , United StatesAbstract: The Landau-de Gennes theory is a type of continuum theory that describes nematic liquid crystal configurations in the framework of the Q-tensor order parameter. In the free energy, there […]

ZoomTitle: Spectral gap in random regular graphs and hypergraphs Abstract: Random graphs and hypergraphs have been used for decades to model large-scale networks, from biological, to electrical, and to social. […]
Applied math. talk: Optimal control of the SIR model in the presence of transmission and treatment uncertainty by Henry Schellhorn, CGU
Zoom meeting , United StatesAbstract The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the importance of treatment-related decision making in populations. This article considers the case where the transmission rate of the disease as well as the efficiency […]

Finding soap films in non-Euclidean geometry (Prof. David Bachman)
ZoomTitle: Finding soap films in non-Euclidean geometry Abstract: In many computer graphics applications we approximate a smooth surface with one made up of tiny triangles. A common problem is to […]
Applied math. talk: Periodic travelling waves in nonlinear wave equations: modulation instability and rogue waves by Dmitry Pelinovsky, McMaster University, Canada
Zoom meeting , United StatesAbstract: I will overview the following different wave phenomena in integrable nonlinear wave equations: (1) universal patterns in the dynamics of fluxon condensates in the semi-classical limit; (2) […]
Our muscles aren’t one-dimensional fibres (Prof. Nilima Nigam)
ZoomTitle: Our muscles aren't one-dimensional fibres. Abstract: Skeletal muscles possess rather amazing mechanical properties. They possess an intricate structure, and behave nonlinearly in response to mechanical stresses. In the 1910s, […]
Applied math. talk: Hyperbolicity-Preserving Stochastic Galerkin Method for Shallow Water Equations by Dihan Dai, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah
Zoom meeting , United StatesAbstract: The system of shallow water equations and related models are widely used in oceanography to model hazardous phenomena such as tsunamis and storm surges. Unfortunately, the inherent uncertainties in […]
An ideal convergence: an example in noncommutative metric geometry (Prof. Konrad Aguilar)
ZoomTitle: An ideal convergence: an example in noncommutative metric geometry Abstract: The ability to calculate the distance between sets (rather than just distance between points) has found applications in geometry […]

ZoomTitle: How do zebrafish get their stripes — or spots? Abstract: Many natural and social systems involve individual agents coming together to create group dynamics, whether the agents are drivers […]
Applied math. talk: Large Eddy Simulation Reduced Order Models by Traian Iliescu, Virginia Tech
Zoom meeting , United StatesIn this talk, we present reduced order models (ROMs) for turbulent flows, which are constructed by using ideas from large eddy simulation (LES) and variational multiscale (VMS) methods. First, we […]
