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...

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...

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...

On quantifying dependence between random elements

In the introduction some relatively recent results on the maximum correlation coefficient will be presented in two setups. The first deals with partial sums of independent identically distributed rand...

The Wishart distribution which never was

Replacing the integer parameter in the family of chi square distributions by a continuous parameter leads to the family of the gamma distributions. A similar phenomena occurs with the non central chi ...

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...

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...

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...

Problemi di estensione per operatori frazionari e applicazioni

Seguendo la strategia impiegata da L. Caffarelli e L. Silvestre, la definizione di operatore non locale è data per mezzo della soluzione di una opportuna equazione a derivate parziali definita su un d...

The singular Nirenberg problem

I will consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian curvature (under pointwise conformal change of the metric) on surfaces with conical singularities. This question has been first raised by Troyan...

The ultimate mystery is ourselves: the fascinating challenge of computational biology

Abstract: The computational analysis and interpretation of the wealth of biological data that is being produced every day is a cogent problem in the life sciences. The task can be mapped to an enginee...
