The travel time map of a compact length space with a closed measurement set takes any point of the space to the function which measures the distance from this point…
The Schur functions are an important basis of the ring of symmetric functions, and Schur’s Q-functions enjoy many analogous properties as a basis of the subring Gamma. We will begin…
During each 50-minute First Year Research Seminar, two faculty give our new graduate students a short (~20-25 minute), accessible talk about their research or research area. First Year Research Seminar…
In the framework of black-box optimization, I will present new algorithms, based on the stochastic estimation of the gradient via finite differences with structured directions. I will describe their convergence…
