Random walk on sparse random directed graphs

random walk on a finite graph exhibits cutoff if its distance from stationarity remains close to the initial value for a certain number of iterations and then abruptly drops to near zero on a much sho...

Controlled Vlasov-type dynamics

The aim of the talk is to connect the optimal control of Vlasov-type PDEs with large systems of controlled interacting particles/agents. The main difference towards the classical mean-field theory, wh...

Random dynamical systems: contraction and recurrence properties

ABSTRAC Consider a proper metric space X and a sequence (Fn) of i.i.d. random continuous mappings from X to X. It induces the stochastic dynamical system (SDS) Xn = Fn ∘ ∘ ∘ F1(x) starting at x ∈ X. W...

Nanoparticles under the Mathematical Microscope

Abstract: Several nanoparticles self-assemble from multiple copies of a limited number of building blocks, viruses being the archetypal example in biology. A majority of viruses have a highly ordered ...

The survival probability of a critical multi-type branching process in i.i.d. random environment

We consider Galton Watson branching processes of unique type and multi-type in fixed and in random environment. The main target is to observe the asymptotic behaviour of the survival probability of th...

Inequality and risk aversion in economies open to altruistic attitudes

In recent years there has been a great interest in the phenomenon of economic inequality, especially in relation to its connection with other important aspects of an advanced economy, for example atti...

Epidemic Risk and Insurance Coverage

This paper aims to apply simple actuarial methods to build an insurance plan protecting against an epidemic risk in a population. The studied model is an extended SIR epidemic in which the removal and...

Plant and animal stem cells: similar yet different

Abstract: The astonishingly long lives of plants and their regeneration capacity depend on the activity of plant stem cells. As in animals, stem cells reside in stem cell niches, which produce signals...

Giornata sulle biblioteca di Matematica

 Nel corso della giornata sono stati affrontati temi diversi: dalla Contrattazione centralizzata CRUI-CARE all’Open Access, dai servizi Nilde al costo degli abbonamenti. Nel pomeriggio una t...
