Motivated by motion of myxobacteria, we review several kinetic approaches for modeling motion of self-propelled, interacting rods. We will focus on collisional models of Boltzmann type and discuss the derivation…

Hypertoric varieties are quaternionic analogs of toric varieties, important for their interaction with the combinatorics of matroids as well as for their prominent place in the rapidly expanding field of…
The classical Descartes’ rule of signs provides an easily computable upper bound for the number of positive real roots of a univariate polynomial with real coefficients. Descartes' rule of signs…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have gained undeniable success as high-dimensional function approximators in countless applications. However, there is a significant hidden cost behind triumphs - the cost of training. Typically,…
The Z-hat invariant, proposed by Gukov, Pei, Putrov, and Vafa, is a fascinating q-series invariant of three-manifolds related to various areas of mathematics and physics. We want to find a…
We are concerned with the rigorous justification of the so-called hard congestion limit from a compressible system with singular pressure towards a mixed compressible-incompressible system modeling partially congested dynamics, in…

Deep learning is one of the most universal techniques in the modern big data era, achieving remarkable success across imaging, healthcare, natural language processing, and more. As applications begin to…
Once per semester, the Teaching and Learning Seminar will host 10-minute "lightning talks" in which 4 graduate students and/or faculty members will talk about some element of their teaching that…
Please save the date for the College of Sciences’ annual Faculty and Staff meeting at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, in 301 Riddick Hall. Interim Dean John Blondin will…

Symmetric functions are very interesting combinatorial objects. After decomposing certain symmetric functions in terms of different bases, we can often combinatorially interpret the resulting coefficients. This is made particularly easy…
Congenital heart disease affects 1 in 100 infants and is the leading cause of infant mortality in the US. Among the most severe forms of congenital heart disease is single…
Many areas of interest within the Earth are anisotropic, meaning that the speed of sound is different in different directions. It turns out that pressure waves are far better behaved…
Please join us in person or virtually as we honor our 2023 College of Sciences Awards for Excellence Nominees and winners.
Variational quantum algorithms use non-convex optimization methods to find the optimal parameters for a parametrized quantum circuit in order to solve a computational problem. The choice of the circuit ansatz,…
This article is about yield farming, which refers to a decentralized finance strategy of providing liquidity and seeking associated rewards in the form of transpired-transaction fees. We explain and demystify…
