Dr. Matthew Junge – December 6, 2022 – 10:30 am – FB Abstract In the late 20th century, statistical physicists introduced a chemical reaction model called ballistic annihilation. Particles are placed randomly throughout the real line and then proceed to move at random velocities. Collisions result in mutual annihilation. Many results were inferred by physicists,…
Dr. Deepam Patel – Noviembre 22 de 2022 – 10:30 am Abstract The Hodge conjecture is one of the central problems in Algebraic Geometry. The first part of this talk will serve as a general introduction to the Hodge conjecture. The conjecture says roughly that certain cohomology classes as `algebraic’ in the setting of smooth…
Dr. Maurice Rojas – Noviembre 10 de 2022 – 10:30 am Abstract Poconomios, en caso especial, son polinomios con pocos términos monomiales (también conocidos como polinomios ralos). El filósofo René Descartes, en 1637, era el primero en descubrir que polinomios ralos en una variable tienen pocas raíces reales. Askold Khovanski y Konstantin Sevastyanov, después en…
Dr. Lev Steinberg – Abril 21-2022 – 10:30 am Abstract This talk will present the foundation and validation of the Cosserat Plate Theory, numerical experiments of deformation and vibration, and the unique properties of the Cosserat plates. This approach incorporares the high accuracy assumptions of the Cosserat plate deformation consistent with the Cosserat Elasticity equilibrium…
Dr. Irena Swanson – Purdue University – March 17, 2022 – 10:30 am. Abstract This talk will be about computability on abstract algebraic structures, such as on ideals and rings. The main tool in computations are Groebner bases, which were invented and developed by Bruno Buchberger in 1965 for ideals and which have since been…
