Description Strongly chordal graphs were introduced by Farber in 1983, as a restricted class of graphs for which the weighted dominating set problem can be solved in polynomial time; the problem is NP...
Description We discuss how the boundary concept can be used to describe fractal sets. Two examples illustrate this: 1. Polynomial endomorphisms of C2 and their Julia sets; 2. Self-similar fractals...

Description Covering codes, which are sets of Hamming balls which cover the discrete hypercube, have been studied in many settings, including betting on football pools with a fixed number of matches...
Description The presentation has two parts. One is about FDM application in the material process. The other is about FEM application ( only several slides). The diffusion equation of carbon...
SpeakerChi-Wang ShuDivision of Applied Mathematics, Brown Universityhttp://www.dam.brown.edu/people/shu/home.html Description WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory) schemes are high order finite...
Description The thermohaline circulation in the ocean is strongly influenced by dense water formation in polar and marginal seas. Such dense water masses are released into the ocean circulation in the...
SpeakerYuri LatushkinDepartment of Mathematics, University of Missourihttp://www.math.missouri.edu/~yuri/ Description Abstract We prove that a first order linear differential operator G=-d/dt+A(t)...
SpeakerSusanne BrennerDepartment of Mathematics, University of South Carolinahttp://www.math.sc.edu/~fem/brenner.html Description Abstract The convergence of the V-cycle multigrid algorithm is usually...
Description Abstract In many practical problems the number of independent variables is large compared to the number of data. For example, to determine the fair price of an exotic option one must...
