What: On Moser’s iteration technique as applied to PDEs
Who: Vishnu Raveendran (Karlstad)
Where: https://kau-se.zoom.us/j/61589448054
Abstract: The main aim of the presentation is to see the application of Moser Iteration technique used in Partial Differential Equations. We divide the discussion into three parts. In the first part we demonstrate the application of Moser Iteration in a simple elliptic equation defined on a bounded domain U , to obtain the control of L-infinity norm of solution on a smaller domain by L^{2} norm of solution in U. In the second part we redo the same estimate for a parabolic setting. In the last part, we quickly discuss some recent results obtained from Moser Iteration technique.

What: Geometry in the Dark Ages: From Isidore of Seville (c. 560-636) to Nicole Oresme (1320-1382)
Who: Bogdan Suceava, State University of California at Fullerton, USA
Where: 21E202
Abstract: Isidore’s Etymologies enjoyed a wide audience during the medieval period. We investigate the structure of mathematics, as it is described in the Etymologies, and we discuss the sources on which Isidore relied when he described the structure of mathematics. A change of paradigm took place in Europe after the Recovery of Aristotle, in later centuries. It is quite surprising that the concept of curvature appears for the first time in the monograph De configurationibus, written by Nicole Oresme around 1350. We describe this work and its historical context, as well as further implications of Oresme’s “doctrine of configurations”, written by an author that, very likely, did not use Euclid’s Elements among his sources.
The visit of Prof. Suceava is partially founded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation.
When: March 13, 9:15
What: Asymptotic analysis of an $\varepsilon$-Stokes problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions
Who: Kazunori Matsui, Kanazawa University, Japan
Where: Mathematics library
In this talk, we present an $\varepsilon$-Stokes problem connecting the classical Stokes problem and the corresponding pressure-Poisson equation using one parameter $\varepsilon>0$. We prove that the solution to the $\varepsilon$-Stokes problem convergences as $\varepsilon$ tends to 0 or $\infty$ to the classical Stokes or pressure-Poisson problem, respectively. Numerical results illustrate the expected behavior of the weak solutions.
This work is supervised by Profs. Masato Kimura (Kanazawa) and Adrian Muntean (Karlstad) and is done with the support of our STINT project: “Mathematics Bachelor Program for Efficient Computations” (contract nr. DD2017-6936).
When: February 13, 10:15
What: Introductory Talk on Inverse Problems
Who: Simon Grützner, University of Bremen, Germany
Where: Mathematics library
Abstract: A typical field for applying the theory of Inverse Problems is the one of parameter identification, where one aims to identify a material parameter from an experimentally obtained data set, for example. Real measurements always output noisy data, so that some question arise quiet naturally: Is it even possible to obtain the true parameter out of noisy data? How does the noise level effect the identification process?
The aim of this talk is not to answer these questions in general, but rather to shed some light on these via simple examples and to explain some of the main concepts of the theory of Inverse Problems and their connection to the aforementioned questions.
When: October 25, 15:15
What: Some results on interacting diffusions approximating the porous medium equation and propagation of chaos
Who: Thieu Thi Kim Thoa, University of L’Aquila, Italy
Where: Mathematics library
Abstract: Some results on interacting diffusions approximating the porous medium equation and propagation of chaos in the paper of Robert Philipowski will be presented. The aims of this paper are to study a system of interacting diffusions and to show that for a large number of particles its empirical measure approximates the solution of the porous medium equation.
When: October 12, 15:00
What: Reading club "Harmonic Analysis and PDE"
Who: Adrian Muntean
Where: Mathematics library
Abstract: The general aim of these regular one hour meetings is to understand some connections between harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. We will use the lecture notes for Klainerman's Princeton graduate course as starting point.
The reading club starts off on August 30. We will normally meet on Wednesdays afternoon (modulo the KAAS events).
For more information, contact Prof. A. Muntean.

What: Mini-course: "An overview on Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorems"
Who: Matteo Colangeli, University of L’Aquila, Italy
Where: Math. library floor 5
Abstract: We discuss the foundations of the Fluctuation-Dissipation theorem, which allows to connect the response of a system to an external perturbation with the fluctuations characterizing the unperturbed dynamics. We will review the original Green-Kubo Formulae, the Kramers-Kronig relations and also discuss some applications to stochastic dynamics described by a Langevin equation and the extension to chaotic dissipative systems, cf. Refs. [1-5].
