Summer School on Topics in Space-Time Modeling and Inference

May 27 2013 - 14:44
May 31 2013 - 14:44
Venue: 

Aalborg University, Denmark

Short description of the event: 

Lecturers:
Professor Peter Diggle, Lancaster University
Professor Tilmann Gneiting, University of Heidelberg
Professor Peter F. Craigmile, Ohio State University
Professor Rasmus Waagepetersen, Aalborg University.

Organizer: Professor Jesper Møller, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Aalborg University, in collaboration with www.csgb.dk

Professor Peter Diggle, Lancaster University, will give a simple classification of space-time point processes and/or data according to whether the spatial or temporal dimension (but not both!) is discrete, and argue that these different situations require different approaches to statistical analysis, and that the choice of modelling strategy should be influenced by the scientific goals of the study that generated the data for analysis. He will also describe statistical models, methods and R packages for space-time point process data.

Workshop 4: Stochastic Differential Geometry

May 29 2013 - 09:00
May 31 2013 - 12:10
Venue: 

Centre Henri Lebesgue
Université de Rennes 1 - Campus de Beaulieu

Short description of the event: 

Since the pioneering work of K. Itô on the parallel transport along Brownian paths in the early 1960s, the study of interactions between probabilities and differential geometry has become a very rich branch of mathematics. The stochastic approach often proves powerful in (pseudo)-Riemannian Geometry (index formula of Atiyah-Singer, Greew-Wu conjecture) and back recent progress on the geometry of infinite dimensional manifolds help to understand the structure of paths spaces of stochastic processes.

The Lebesgue center chose to devote his first thematic semester, to be held in spring 2013, to the rich and close links between probability theory, analysis and the study of partial differential equations. The semester will highlight major recent advances in this broad field and will promote interactions between researchers from many different backgrounds and specialities. Among other events, an international Opening Conference, four thematic workshops and a Summer School will be held in Rennes and Nantes.

Issues in Solving the Boltzmann Equation for Aerospace Applications

Jun 3 2013 - 00:00
Jun 7 2013 - 23:59
Venue: 

ICERM, Providence, Rhode Island

Short description of the event: 

Being central to gas dynamics, the Boltzmann equation describes gas flows at the microscopic level in regimes from free molecular to continuum. Its descriptive power makes it indispensable for predicting non-continuum phenomena in gases when experimental data is limited or not available. The Boltzmann equation is used in a wide range of applications, from external aerodynamics and thruster plume flows to vacuum facilities and microscale devices. Accurate solution of the Boltzmann equation for modeling gas flows arising in aerospace applications continues to be a challenge.

Milieux Continus Généralisés

Jun 3 2013 - 00:00
Jun 8 2013 - 23:59
Venue: 

Quiberon, France

Short description of the event: 

Il y sera présenté des méthodes générales pour construire de manière systématique et cohérente des théories de milieux continus généralisés. Ces théories de milieux continus généralisés se révèlent pertinentes pour décrire un grand nombre de circonstances fréquemment rencontrées en pratique : milieux finement hétérogènes, polycristaux, milieux micro-fissurés, mais aussi théorie de poutres ou des plaques. Trois points-de-vue, de portée générale, seront plus particulièrement approfondis.

Le principe de l'organisation de cette série d'écoles d'été de mécanique théorique est né du constat d'une certaine désaffection de la communauté mécanicienne française vis-à-vis des fondements de sa discipline. Par mécanique théorique, nous entendons un corpus de connaissances plutôt caractérisé par des méthodes de portée générale que par une application spécifique.

Summer School on KPZ Equation and Rough Paths

The Lebesgue center chose to devote his first thematic semester, to be held in spring 2013, to the rich and close links between probability theory, analysis and the study of partial differential equations. The semester will highlight major recent advances in this broad field and will promote interactions between researchers from many different backgrounds and specialities.
