Sometimes Pi Equals 4 (Prof. Cornelia van Cott, University of San Francisco)
Title: Sometimes Pi Equals 4 Speaker: Cornelia van Cott, Department of Mathematics, University of San Francisco Abstract: Most of your mathematical life, you've known that pi is a number somewhere between 3.1 and 3.2. But if we exchange the usual notion of distance in two-dimensional space for others, pi can be any of an infinite number […]
Existence and uniqueness of minimizers in variational problems (Wilfrid Gangbo, UCLA)
Existence and uniqueness of minimizers in variational problems (Wilfrid Gangbo, UCLA)
We comment on the main steps to take when studying some variational problems. This includes optimization problems arising in geometry, machine learning, non linear elasticity, fluid mechanics, etc... For the sake of illustration, in this talk, we keep our focus on a minimization problem obtained after a time-discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Elementary geometric […]
