In this talk we discuss some problems related to finding large induced subgraphs of a given graph G which satisfy some degree-constraints (for example, all degrees are odd, or all […]
Title: A tribute to Professor Ellis Cumberbatch (1934-2021) Abstract: The math colloquium on December 1st will be devoted to remembrances of our beloved CGU colleague Professor Ellis Cumberbatch, a pillar […]
Let d >= 2 be a natural number. We determine the minimum possible size of the difference set A-A in terms of |A| for any sufficiently large finite subset A […]
Title: Where do Putnam problems come from? Speaker: Andrew Bernoff, Department of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: The William Lowell Putnam Exam is the preeminent mathematics competition for undergraduate college students […]
The set of subsets {1, 3}, {1, 3, 4}, {1, 3, 4, 6} is a symmetric chain in the partially ordered set (poset) of subsets of {1,...,6}. It is a […]
Title: Using Stitching for faster sampling Speaker: Mark Huber, Department of Mathematics, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Point processes are used to model location data, such as the locations of trees in a forest, […]
Archetypal analysis is an unsupervised learning method that uses a convex polytope to summarize multivariate data. For fixed k, the method finds a convex polytope with k vertices, called archetype […]
A power permutation of a finite field F is a permutation of F whose functional form is x -> x^d for some exponent d. Power permutations are used in cryptography, […]
Title: Exploiting metric structure for more accurate classification Speaker: Mike Izbicki, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Classification problems often have many semantically similar classes. For example, the famous ImageNet dataset […]
Title: Modern techniques to approach the invariant subspace problem Abstract: The invariant subspace problem is by far one of the most important problems in operator theory. It has been open […]
A frame in a Euclidean space is a spanning set, which can be overdetermined. Large frames are used for redundant signal transmission, which allows for error correction. An important parameter […]
