Variational and PDE Approaches to Texture Modeling and Separation (Cont'd.)

Speaker: 

Yunho Kim

Visiting Assistant Professor UCI

Location:

This talk will be about a general framework of image processing such as Image denoising, deblurring, segmentation, etc. Variational and also PDE approaches will be considered. Various function spaces will also be mentioned and we will see some advantages and disadvantages of the functions spaces. At the end,
noise - texture characterization or separation techniques will be discussed. Notice that there are no mathematical definitions of noise and texture yet. We will think about this too.

Wave propagation and imaging in noisy environments.

Speaker: 

Professor Knut Solna

Institution: 

UCI

Location: 

RH 306

We consider modeling of wave propagation phenomena
in some noisy and cluttered environments. We then show how
the noisy environment may have an effect when trying
to use wave reflections for imaging purposes. In particular
we discuss the so called parabolic approximation regime
corresponding to long range propagation.

Chemical reaction networks and stochastic dynamics

I will discuss a basic result on the theory of chemical
reaction networks developed by Feinberg and others, which provides some
insight on the possible behaviors e.g. of protein networks inside a
cell. Then I will discuss an application of this theory to the study
of stochastic chemical reactions

An Introduction to the Analytic Theory of Numbers

Speaker: 

Mustafa Said

Institution: 

UC Irvine

Time: 

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - 5:00pm

Location: 

RH 440R

I will start by giving a brief history of the subject and continue by presenting some important results in the field such as the "prime number theorem," and the mathematicians that contributed to these results. I will go on and give a very general discussion about the "Riemann Zeta Function," and discuss its importance in the field and mathematics in general. I will also touch upon some open problems such as the "Riemann Hypothesis," and "The Circle Problem." I will end my talk by discussing some recent and important results in the field such as the "Tao - Green" theorem on arithmetic progressions of prime numbers.
