  • Applied Math Seminar — Yunied Puig de Dios (CMC)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    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 […]

  • Frame coherence and nearly orthogonal lattices (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)

    On Zoom

    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 of frames is coherence, which is maximal absolute value of the cosine of the angle between two frame vectors: the smaller it is, the closer […]

  • Experimental Knot Music v2 (Sam Nelson, CMC)

    Zoom

    In this talk I will recount the history of my knot theory-based music project and show an example of my method for creating music from knot homsets.

  • Modeling the waning and boosting of immunity (Prof. Lauren Childs)

    Zoom

    Title: Modeling the waning and boosting of immunity Speaker: Dr. Lauren Childs Assistant Professor and the Cliff and Agnes Lilly Faculty Fellow Virgina Tech Abstract: Infectious disease often leads to significant loss of life and burden on society. Understanding disease dynamics is essential to the development and implementation of earlier and more effective interventions. Traditionally, perfect, […]

  • Recent trends in using representations in voting theory – committees and cyclic orders (Karl-Dieter Crisman, Gordon College)

    On Zoom

    One of the most important axioms in analyzing voting systems is that of "neutrality", which stipulates that the system should treat all candidates symmetrically. Even though this doesn't always directly apply (such as in primary systems or those with intentional incumbent protection), it is extremely important both in theory and practice.If the voting systems in […]

  • Solving the Race in Backgammon (Prof. Arthur Benjamin)

    Zoom meeting , United States

    Title: Solving the Race in Backgammon   Speaker: Prof. Arthur Benjamin Smallwood Family Professor of Mathematics Harvey Mudd College   Abstract: Backgammon is perhaps the oldest game that is still played today. It is a game that combines luck with skill, where two players take turns rolling dice and decide how to move their checkers […]

  • Modeling Zoonotic Infectious Diseases from Wildlife to Humans (Prof. Linda J. S. Allen)

    Zoom meeting , United States

    Title: Modeling  Zoonotic Infectious Diseases from Wildlife to Humans Speaker: Prof. Linda J. S. Allen, P. W. Horn Distinguished Professor Emeritus Texas Tech University Abstract: Zoonotic infectious diseases are diseases transmitted from animals to humans. It is estimated that over 60% of human infectious diseases are zoonotic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified eight priority zoonoses […]

  • Applied Math Seminar — Illia Karabash (IAMM of NAS of Ukraine and TU Dortmund)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Pareto optimization of resonances and optimal control methods Abstract: First successes in fabrication of high-Q optical cavities two decades ago led to active applied physics and numerical studies of […]
