A Conformal Mapping Approach to Shape Optimization Problems. (Kao, CMC)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: In this talk, a conformal mapping approach to shape optimization problems on planar domains will be discussed. In particular, spectral methods based on conformal mappings are proposed to solve Steklov eigenvalues and their related shape optimization problems in two dimensions. To apply spectral methods, we first reformulate the Steklov eigenvalue problem in the complex domain […]

A General Bayesian Discrete Time Survival Model (King, CPP)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: "We present a general Bayesian statistical model for discrete time, discrete state space stochastic processes. Applications include the modeling of recurrent and episodic disease processes, such as episodes of […]

On the interplay of functional analysis and operator theory (Puig de Dios, UCR)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: We overview some basic and striking facts concerning the theory of hypercyclic operators (considered to be born in 1982): 1. Hypercyclicity is a purely infinite-dimensional phenomenon: no finite dimensional […]

Reasoning about Liability of Intelligent Agents ( Naumov, CMC)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: As intelligent agents assume larger role in our daily lives, reasoning by humans about liability of such agents as well as reasoning by the intelligent agents themselves about liability […]

Accidental Mathematics (Matt Stamps, Yale-NUs College)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: Growing up, I always loved learning about world-changing scientific breakthroughs that were discovered by accident. Penicillin, artificial sweeteners, X-rays, and synthetic dyes are just a few of the discoveries […]

Personal Perspectives on m-ary Partitions (James Sellers, Penn State)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: A great deal of my research journey has involved the study of m-ary partitions. These are integer partitions wherein each part must be a power of a fixed integer m > […]
