SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar -- Kathryn G. Link (UC Davis)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Viscoelastic Effects of Spontaneous Oscillations of Elastic Filaments in the Follower-Force Problem. \nAbstract: It is well know that microorganisms\, such as bacteria and eukaryotes\, often move in intricate environments experiencing mechano-chemical dynamics. These environments consist of rheologically complex substances such as mucus and other biofilms that are more complicated than water.  Spermatozoa (sperm)\, for example\, swim in viscoelastic mucus via deformations of their flagella\, which are slender threadlike structures that are powered by internal molecular motors. The motor activity generates flagellar bending\, resulting in an undulatory beat. The effects of a fading-memory fluid on emergent properties of these spontaneous oscillations are not entirely known. Here we combine analysis with numerical simulations of finite-length\, small-amplitude pinned filaments subject to a compressive follower force to elucidate the Hopf bifurcation that occurs with increasing forcing on the filament. Additionally\, we determine characteristics of the flapping motion\, specifically frequency and amplitude changes and how those changes depend on follower force strength as well as fluid elasticity.

SUMMARY:Covering by polynomial planks (Alexey Glazyrin\, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley)
DESCRIPTION:In 1932\, Tarski conjectured that a convex body of width 1 can be covered by planks\, regions between two parallel hyperplanes\, only if the total width of planks is at least 1. In 1951\, Bang proved the conjecture of Tarski. In this work we study the polynomial version of Tarski’s plank problem. \nWe note that the recent polynomial proofs of the spherical and complex plank covering problems by Zhao and Ortega-Moreno give some general information on zeros of real and complex polynomials restricted to the unit sphere. As a corollary of these results\, we establish several generalizations of the Bang plank covering theorem.\nUsing the polynomial approach\, we also prove the strengthening of the Fejes Tóth zone conjecture on covering a sphere by spherical segments\, closed parts of the sphere between two parallel hyperplanes. In particular\, we show that the sum of angular widths of spherical segments covering the whole sphere is at least π. \nThis is a joint work with Roman Karasev and Alexandr Polyanskii.
