Title: Nonlinear and nonlocal evolution equations driven by Levy diffusions: an introduction
Speaker: Wojbor Woyczynski (Case Western Reserve University)
Abstract: The classical nonlinear evolution equations, such as Navier-Stokes equation , Burgers equations, and Hamilton-Jacobi-KPZ equations involve nonlinear terms and the linear part dominated by the Laplacian,...

Title: Asymptotic Phase for Stochastic Oscillators
Speaker: Peter Thomas (Case Western Reserve University)
Abstract: Oscillations and noise are ubiquitous in physical and biological systems. When oscillations arise from a deterministic limit cycle, entrainment and synchronization may be analyzed in terms of the asymptotic phase function. In the presence of noise,...
