PIMS Network Wide Courses

The PIMS Network Wide Courses programs helps share graduate level courses throughout the PIMS network. Registration for winter courses is now open. Application deadlines vary but begin in November.

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award helps provides funding for researchers attending a BIRS 5-day (or longer) program to maximize the impact of their travel by visiting a PIMS site for collaboration.

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

The Erdős-Ko-Rado (EKR) theorem states that if n and k are two positive integers such that n≥2k and F is a family of k-subsets of {1,2,…,n} such that A∩B≠∅, for all A,B∈F, then |F|⩽(n−1k−1). Moreover, if n⩾2k+1, then equality holds if and only if...

We study a diffusive nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton-detritus (NPZ) model with delayed nutrient recycling. We consider both the case of a general spatio-temporal delay and a specific delay kernel where the model is equivalent to a non-delayed...

The Tutte polynomial of a graph is a two-variable polynomial, which is the universal polynomial satisfying deletion contraction recursion. In this talk I will explain how this polynomial arises from considering the cohomology of hypertoric varieties...

We consider stochastic and finite-sum optimization problems with deterministic constraints. Existing methods typically focus on finding an approximate stochastic solution that ensures the expected constraint violations and optimality conditions meet...
