Adding a Third Normal to CLUBB Mr. Sven Bergmann University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee The Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) model uses the sum of two normal probability density function (pdf) components to represent subgrid variability within a single grid layer …
Contraction Rates For McKean-Vlassov Stochastic Differential Equations Mr. Dan Noelck University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee This work focuses on the contraction rates for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs), McKean-Vlasov Stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs), and path dependent McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations. Under …
Hyperbolic groups, their boundaries and drilling Prof. Genevieve Walsh Professor of Mathematics Tufts University We will define and describe groups with a particular geometry, hyperbolic groups. We will define the boundary of a hyperbolic group and give many examples. If …
A Finite Element Block Modified Backward Euler Method For Solving A One-Dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck Ion Channel Model Mr. Silas Winnemoeller University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In this thesis, a finite element block modified backward Euler method is introduced to solve a one-dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck …
On the Lucky Sets of Fubini Rankings Melissa Beerbower Loyola University Chicago Recall that Fubini rankings of length n are rankings of n competitors allowing for ties. We can say that the number of rankings, k, with k less than …
On Whitney numbers of the first and second kind, or is it the other way around? Dr. Rafael S. González D'León Assistant Professor Loyola University Chicago Algebraic combinatorics is centered on the idea that a variety of algebraic objects can …
Do you like to talk about teaching? Do you like to socialize with other people in the department? Do you like pear bread? Do you have nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon? Bring your thoughts: Have you done …
PDE Problems in Thin Filament Hydrodynamics Prof. Laurel Ohm Assistant Professor of Mathematics University of Wisconsin-Madison Many fundamental biophysical processes, from cell division to cellular motility, involve dynamics of thin structures immersed in a very viscous fluid. Various popular models …
Introduction to (Partial) Z-Boundaries Joe Paulson PhD Graduate Student University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee In this talk, I'll share an abridged story of Z-boundaries and their utility in group theory. Throughout, we'll revisit some main characters (compactifications, homotopy groups, group …
Ion Channels, the Ultimate Multiscale Device Prof. Bob Eisenberg Professor of Biomathematics and Physiology Department of Physiology & Biophysics, Rush University, Chicago IL Proteins called ion channels are the ultimate multiscale device, the ‘nanovalves of life’ controlling most biological functions …
