Sampling-Based Methods for Stochastic Optimization

Speaker Tito Homem-de-Mello https://users.iems.northwestern.edu/~tito/ Description Joint colloquium with IIT ECE Dept.

Chebyshev collocation methods for resolving spike dynamics in the GM reaction-diffusion model

Description In this work the Gierer-Meinhardt model is analyzed using Chebyshev collocation methods. This model is classified as a reaction-diffusion system and arises from biological pattern...

On the Parameterized Complexity of Independent Set

Description We present a parameterized algorithm that, given a graph G on n vertices and an integer parameter k, decides whether G has an independent set of size at most k in time O(2^{2.1152k+0.1028n...

Robust Design for Linear Multiresponse Models with Possible Bias

Description This talk concentrates on the model-robust design problem for multiresponse model with possible bias. We assume that the fitted model for each response is first-degree or second-degree...
