Midpoint rule is a numerical integrator for ordinary differential equations. When used to simulate mechanical systems, it may reveal various structure-preserving features, such as symplecticity. The talk will discuss the variational origins and...

The Sixth G. J. Butler International Conference on Differential Equations and Population Biology will be held on the University of Alberta campus, Edmonton, from July 23-27, 2018. This conference in the memory of our late colleague, Geoffrey James...

The Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics (CCGRRA) has been an important conference for the community of general relativists and relativistic astrophysicists in Canada for over 30 years. The meeting will bring...

The inverse algebraic approximation is addressed and established the direct and inverse approximation of algebraic polynomials in the Jacobi-weighted Sobolev and Besov spaces. With the approximation theory of algebraic polynomials, we investigate the...

In this talk we consider a class of games with continuum of players where equilibrium can be obtained by the minimization of a certain functional related to optimal transport. We then use the powerful entropic regularization technique to approximate...

The traditional modelling with partial differential equations has often ignored the stochastic nature of the underlying biological processes, and focussed on the deterministic description. This has led to significant results and has helped to grow...

In this talk I will present some of the work done by my group on ion transport. The first part is on the analysis and computation of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model. We show that under normal physiological conditions, the PNP system can be...

I will present nonlinear dynamics for distributed decision-making that derive from principles of symmetry and bifurcation. Inspired by studies of animal groups, including house-hunting honeybees and schooling fish, the nonlinear dynamics describe a...

Thanks to the advancement of modern technology in acquiring data, massive data with diverse features and big volume are becoming more accessible than ever. The impact of big data is significant. While the abundant volume of data presents great...

Stochastic fluctuations in temperature, precipitation and a host of other environmental factors occur at multiple spatial and temporal scales. As the survival and reproduction of organisms, whether they be plants, animals, or viruses, depend on these...
