What is a quasicrystal?

Speaker: 

Marjorie Senechal Louise Wolff Kahn Professor in Mathematics and History of Science and Technology Co-Editor, The Mathematical Intelligencer Smith College Northampton, MA 01063 EUA

Date: 

Wednesday, 24 May, 2006 - 13:30

Venue: 

Anfiteatro 0.31 Departamento de Matemática Aplicada FCUP

What are quasicrystals, and what's "quasi" about them? In fact there is nothing quasi about them - quasicrystals are real crystals. But then what is a crystal? Recent research in aperiodic order, tiling theory, and diffraction theory on the one hand, and in the experimental sciences on the other,...

Ressonâncias no Problema de Transmissão

Speaker: 

Fernando Cardoso (Universidade Federal de Pernambuco)

Date: 

Tuesday, 6 December, 2005 - 15:00

Venue: 

Anf. 0.07

Consideramos o Problema de Transmissão para obstáculos (tranparentes) estritamente convexos e estudamos a localização e comportamento de ressonâncias (Conjectura de Lax-Phillips) nos casos em que a velocidade de propagação no interior do obstáculo é maior, respectivamente menor,do que a...

Uma dicotomia para sistemas conservativos genéricos de equações diferenciais lineares não autónomas

Speaker: 

Mário Bessa (CMUP)

Date: 

Friday, 15 July, 2005 - 13:30

Venue: 

Room 0.04

Sistemas de equações diferenciais lineares não autónomas surgem de forma natural quando pretendemos generalizar acções de aplicações lineares, nomeadamente a aplicação tangente a um fluxo. Aplicam-se neste contexto os conceitos clássicos de dinâmica hiperbólica e de teoria ergódica, fazendo...

Random walks, hyperplane arrangements, finite semigroups and the Tsetlin library

Speaker: 

Benjamin Steinberg

Date: 

Friday, 8 July, 2005 - 13:30

Venue: 

Room 0.04

Given a hyperplane arrangement in Rn and the corresponding cell decomposition, Bidigaire defined a semigroup structure on the set of faces of the cell decomposition and used this semigroup to calculate the eigenvalues, with multiplicities, for a random walk on the chambers. The particular case...

Long-Term Memory in the Irish Market (ISEQ): Additional Insight from Wavelet Transforms.

Speaker: 

Adel Sharkasi, School of Computing, Dublin City University, Ireland

Date: 

Friday, 17 June, 2005 - 10:00

Venue: 

Room 0.04

Researchers have used many different methods to detect the possibility of long-term dependence in stock market returns and, generally, there is mixed evidence for the presence of long memory in these data. In this paper, three different tests, (namely Rescaled Range (R/S), its modified form, and...

Strong earthquakes, US presidents and schizophrenia:a uniform treatment.

Speaker: 

Vladislav Zheligovsky

Date: 

Friday, 13 May, 2005 - 13:30

Venue: 

Room 0.04

In this talk we will consider a pattern recognition algorithm "Kora-n" which has been successfully applied for classification purposes in various areas of natural sciences and humanities. Application for diagnostics of schizophrenia will be considered in detail, but other cases will be also...
