Title: Nonnegative Polynomials and Sums of Squares Abstract: Is x4-2x3+7x2-2x+1 nonnegative for any value of x? One way of showing that this holds is by writing x4-2x3+7x2-2x+1=1/2(x2-3x+1)2+1/2(x2+x+1)2. Studying the relationship […]
Title: Injustice, Inequity, and Inequality: Lessons at the Intersection of Mathematics, Epidemiology, and Racism Registration information for this talk at: https://www.hmc.edu/mathematics/moody-lecture-series/ Abstract:The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed existing health inequities for […]
In this talk, we will talk about the thin film model derived for liquid film resulting from a distributed source on a vertical wall and some distinct properties about the […]
Title: Combinatorics and the Kitchen Sink Abstract: Numerical semigroups are simple combinatorial objects that lead to deep and subtle questions. We answer in one fell swoop virtually all asymptotic questions […]
Statistical solutions are time-parameterized probability measures on spaces of integrable functions, which have been proposed recently as a framework for global solutions for multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. We […]
Title: Training dynamical systems to predict their input Abstract: Evolved systems seem to predict their environment. Even bacteria can implicitly predict future concentrations of scarce sugar or antibiotics, and emerging […]
In this talk, we will present a recent study of the Maxwell-Bloch equations that model the nonlinear interactions of light and matter, where the light is modeled classically by the […]
Title: Sea star locomotion Abstract: The oral surface of sea stars (starfish) is lined with arrays of tube feet that enable them to achieve highly controlled locomotion on various terrains […]
Title: The Effect of Criminal Justice Decisions on Community Safety Abstract: During this talk we will, time permitting, examine several law enforcement actor's impact on community safety, including law enforcement, […]
Join us for a social hour with applied mathematicians at Claremont Colleges and University of Utah.
Abstract: We consider the problem of minimizing the first nonzero eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with Neumann boundary conditions with respect to the distribution of two conducting materials with a prescribed area ratio in a given domain. In one dimension, we show monotone properties of the first nonzero eigenvalue with respect to various parameters and […]
Hosted by David Bachman. This is a time for us to welcome each other back from break, share any news relevant to mathematics in Claremont, and break out into smaller […]
