Dr Keisuke Hara (Ritsumeikan University Japan) Stochastic Analysis Seminar Add to calendar DH 3rd floor SR
I will show rough path estimates for smooth L^p functions whose derivatives are in L^q. The application part related to (linear or nonlinear) Fourier analysis will be also discussed.

Professor Francesco Russo (Université de Paris 13) Stochastic Analysis Seminar Add to calendar DH 3rd floor SR
We aim at presenting some aspects of stochastic calculus via regularization in relation with integrator processes which are generally not semimartingales. Significant examples of those processes are Dirichlet processes, Lyons-Zheng processes and fractional (resp. bifractional) Brownian motion. A Dirichlet process X is the sum of a local martingale M and a zero quadratic variation process A. We will put the emphasis on a generalization of Dirichlet processes. A weak Dirichlet process is the sum of local martingale M and a process A such that [A,N] = 0 where N is any martingale with respect to an underlying filtration. Obviously a Dirichlet process is a weak Dirichlet process. We will illustrate partly the following application fields. Analysis of stochastic integrals related to fluidodynamical models considered for instance by A. Chorin, F. Flandoli and coauthors... Stochastic differential equations with distributional drift and related stochastic control theory. The talk will partially cover joint works with M. Errami, F. Flandoli, F. Gozzi, G. Trutnau.

Abstract 1 Another Orthogonal Matrix

A householder reflection and a suitable product of Givens rotations are two well known examples of an orthogonal matrix with given first column. We present another way to produce such a matrix and apply it to produce a "fast Givens" method to compute the R factor of A, A = QR. This approach avoids the danger of under/overflow.

Abstract 2 An application of Pfaff's Theorem (on skew-symmetric matrices)

There are no constraints on the eigenvalues of a product of two real symmetric matrices but what about the product of two real skew-symmetric matrices?

Mark McGuiness (University of Wellington, NZ) Differential Equations and Applications Seminar Add to calendar DH Common Room
We develop a nonlinear delay-differential equation for the human cardiovascular control system, and use it to explore blood pressure and heart rate variability under short-term baroreflex control. The model incorporates an intrinsically stable heart rate in the absence of nervous control, and features baroreflex influence on both heart rate and peripheral resistance. Analytical simplications of the model allow a general investigation of the r\^{o}les played by gain and delay, and the effects of ageing. View diagram:  Download PDF
