We continue our investigation, begun with M. Anselm, of a generalization of classical continued fractions, where the “numerator” 1 is replaced by an…
I will present the problem of energy decay for the following damped Klein-Gordon equation. where represents a damping force proportional to the velocity…
Abstract: The Rogers-Ramanujan identities are a pair of deep identities which express certain generating functions as infinite products. They were first…
Abstract: The celebrated quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is an NP-hard, discrete, nonlinear optimization problem. Since its inception over 50 years…
Shortly after Szemeredi proved that a set of natural numbers with positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions, Furstenberg…
Abstract: In 2010 NIST launched the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF)1, a free online resource containing crucial information about high…
Abstract: In this talk I present an unsupervised clustering algorithm that makes use a single neuron to perform classification tasks on a given dataset…
Abstract: The cohomological and homological dimensions of a group are invariants which, in some sense, reflect how complex it is. We will discuss the more…
The geometric constructions we learn in high school can be thought of as a one-player game of skill where the goal is to produce some planar geometric…
Abstract: I’ll describe some of my favorite puzzles and board games with commentary on their “value” and the current role of games in our society…
