The Dean–Kawasaki Equation: Theory, Numerics, and Applications

Prof Ana Djurdjevac
(Mathematical Institute - University of Oxford)
Abstract

The Dean–Kawasaki equation provides a stochastic partial differential equation description of interacting particle systems at the level of empirical densities and has attracted considerable interest in statistical physics, stochastic analysis, and applied modeling. In this work, we study analytical and numerical aspects of the Dean–Kawasaki equation, with a particular focus on well-posedness, structure preservation, and possible discretization strategies. In addition, we extend the framework to the Dean–Kawasaki equation posed on smooth hypersurfaces. We discuss applications of the Dean–Kawasaki framework to particle-based models arising in biological systems and modeling social dynamics.

Quadrature = rational approximation

Prof Nick Trefethen
(Harvard University)
Abstract

Speaker Nick Trefethen will speak about: 'Quadrature = rational approximation'

 

Whenever you see a string of quadrature nodes, you can consider it as a branch cut defined by the poles of a rational approximation to the Cauchy transform of a weight function.  The aim of this talk is to explain this strange statement and show how it opens the way to calculation of targeted quadrature formulas for all kinds of applications.  Gauss quadrature is an example, but it is just the starting point, and many more examples will be shown.  I hope this talk will change your understanding of quadrature formulas. 

This is joint work with Andrew Horning.
