    Exponential operator splitting methods constitute a favourable class
    of time integration methods for various kinds of linear and nonlinear evolution
    equations. They rely on the presumption that the defining right-hand side comprises
    two (or more) operators and that the numerical approximation of the associated
    subproblems is significantly simpler compared to the numerical approximation of...

    Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a life-support therapy used for patients with severe respiratory failure, including those affected by COVID-19. In this therapy, gas exchange is partially or fully supported by an extracorporeal circuit, thereby substituting impaired lung function. Despite its clinical effectiveness, the presence of non-physiological flow conditions...

    Cluster algebras are built by repeated “mutation,” but their basic arithmetic is still mysterious: do elements factor uniquely? I’ll describe algorithms that, for a large class of cluster algebras (including many from surfaces and Grassmannians), compute the divisor class group, decide when unique factorization holds, and even list all factorizations of a given element. This is a joint work...

    In this talk, we provide a first-order homogenization result for quadratic functionals via a variational approach. In particular, we identify the scaling of the energy and the explicit form of the limiting functional in terms of the first-order correctors. The main novelty of the paper is the use of the dual correspondence between quadratic functionals and PDEs, combined with a refinement of...

    Volume-filling cross-diffusion equations for the components of a tissue structure are formally derived from mass conservation laws and force balances for the interphase pressures and viscous drag forces in a multiphase approach. The equations include Maxwell--Stefan, tumor-growth, thin-film solar cell models as well as novel volume-filling population systems. The Boltzmann and Rao entropy...

    The singularity theorems of General Relativity (GR) are considered among
    the most relevant works in mathematical physics of the last century. They form a body of important results in Lorentzian differential geometry that establishes the occurrence of spacetime ``singularities", in the sense of causal geodesic incompleteness of the spacetime manifold under certain physically reasonable...

    In this talk, we recall some challenging problems in algebra, such as the characterization problem of polynomial rings, the automorphism groups of certain algebras, and the Dixmier property of algebras. We then explain how the concept of Aut-stable subspaces can be used as a tool to approach these problems, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

    Background:
    High-power radiofrequency ablation (HP-RFA) is a minimally invasive technique for treating atrial fibrillation (AF); pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) serves as the cornerstone of this treatment. Variations in patient characteristics, such as body mass index (BMI), can influence the effectiveness and safety of PVI procedures. Obesity is a growing concern in the population, and...

    Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a valuable tool in biomedical applications, using gas-filled microbubbles to enhance both diagnostic and therapeutic imaging. Once injected, microbubbles oscillate nonlinearly in response to ultrasound waves, making sound propagation through bubbly liquids a highly nonlinear problem. This behavior is modeled by a nonlinear acoustic wave equation coupled with...

    We classify and construct supersymmetric solutions of D=3, N=2 gauged
    supergravity extended with a Fayet-Iliopoulos term. Null and timelike warped AdS spacetimes are seen among them. From the first one, a well-defined black hole can be obtained via periodic identification.
    We also find charged string solutions that interpolate between two supersymmetric AdS or Minkowski extrema of the scalar...

    Degenerate parabolic equations arise in a variety of models in which diffusion vanishes or weakens in certain regions, thereby giving rise to substantial analytical difficulties. In particular, degeneracy strongly affects compactness and dissipative properties, which play a crucial role in the study of long-time dynamics and asymptotic behavior.

    In this talk, we focus on a class of...

    In this talk, we approximate the stochastic heat equation on the sphere driven by additive Lévy random field by a spectral method in space and forward and backward Euler-Maruyama schemes in time. Our spectral approximation is based on a truncation of the series expansion with respect to the real-valued spherical harmonics. We provide strong convergence rates, convergence of the expectation and...

    In his 10th problem, Hilbert asked for an algorithm to determine whether
    a given Diophantine equation has integer solutions.
    While it has been proven that such an algorithm does not exist, several
    important classes of Diophantine equations can still be solved effectively.\
    In this talk, we will study one such class, the class of Thue equations, with a
    particular focus on the family of...

    Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) bring together machine learning and physical laws to solve differential equations. While Hillebrecht and Unger (2022) provide rigorous a posteriori upper bounds for PINN prediction errors, certification requires complementary lower bounds to establish complete error enclosures. In this paper, we derive computable a posteriori lower bounds for PINN...

    Algebraic geometry codes have gained significant attention due to their strong structural properties. In this study, we investigate the construction of linear codes from cubic surfaces in the projective space $PG(3, 13)$. A smooth cubic surface over a finite field is known to contain exactly 27 lines. The configuration of these lines and their intersection points, specifically the Eckardt...

    The independence phenomenon is a central theme in set theory and more generally in mathematics. Starting from the Continuum Problem, there are numerous statements in various areas of mathematics that can neither be proven nor disproven in the usual axiomatic framework given by the Zermelo Fraenkel Axioms. The most promising approach to attack this issue is by studying extensions of the usual...

    Piecewise diffusion Markov processes (PDifMPs) form a versatile class of stochastic hybrid systems that combine continuous diffusion processes with discrete event-driven dynamics, enabling flexible modelling of complex real-world hybrid phenomena. The practical utility of PDifMP models, however, depends critically on accurate estimation of their underlying parameters. In this work, we present...

    Timelike lower Ricci curvature bounds in smooth spacetimes are known to be characterised by the convexity of a suitable entropy functional along geodesics in the space of probability measures. Such geodesics are defined via optimal transport, in analogy with the Wasserstein distance in the Riemannian setting. Pioneering work in this direction was carried out by McCann [1] and by Mondino–Suhr...

    Flocking is a form of collective behavior commonly observed in nature, particularly among birds and fish. We focus on the Motsch-Tadmor particle model
    for birds flocking, which differs from the classical Cucker-Smale model due
    to its use of a relative influence term which introduce an asymmetry in the
    interactions. While mean field limit has been rigorously established for the

    Real-time pose estimation is a fundamental challenge in computer vision. It involves finding a rotation and a translation that transforms one set of points into another. This problem is often posed as a non-linear least squares problem, which can be reduced to a homogeneous zero-dimensional polynomial system.

    One way to study the distribution of nested quadratic number fields satisfying fixed arithmetic relationships is through the evolution of continued fraction expansions. In the function field setting, it was shown by de Mathan and Teullie that given a quadratic irrational $\Theta$, the degrees of the periodic part of the continued fraction of $t^n\Theta$ are unbounded.

    In this talk, we study the long-time behaviour of second-order Langevin dynamics and establish global contraction in an $L^1$-Wasserstein distance with an explicit dimension-free rate. The contraction result is not restricted to forces corresponding to strongly convex confining potentials. It rather includes multi-well potentials and non-gradient-type forces. In the proof, we use a coupling...

    Piecewise Diffusion Markov Processes (PDifMPs) are valuable for modelling systems where continuous dynamics are interrupted by sudden shifts and/or changes in drift and diffusion. The first-passage time (FPT) in such models plays a central role in understanding when a process first reaches a critical boundary. In many systems, time-dependent thresholds provide a flexible framework for...
