Workshop YEP XVII: “Interacting Particle Systems”
Online (Zoom)Format The workshop will take place in the week Aug 30 - Sep 3, 2021. The event will be online. Summary The theory of Interacting Particle Systems focuses on the dynamics of systems consisting of a large or infinite number of entities, in which the mechanism of evolution is random…

Matteo D’Achille (Université Paris-Est Créteil) One dimensional Euclidean Random Assignment Problems: anomalous scaling and critical hyperbolae A Euclidean Random Assignment Problem (ERAP in short) is defined as follows. Take two $n$-samples $\mathcal{B} =(b_i)_{i=1}^n$ (blue points) and $\mathcal{R}=(r_j)_{j=1}^n$ (red points) of i.i.d. random variables valued on a metric space $(\Omega,D)$ of…

MF 15 (floor 7)Noela Müller (TU/e) Introduction & sparse random matrices In this talk, I will introduce myself and give an overview of my research interests. The second half is dedicated to ongoing work on a full rank condition for sparse random matrices: For a broad range of sparse random matrix models, we…
Workshop “Road Traffic Flow: Analysis, Optimization and Control”
MF 11-12 (4th floor MetaForum Building, TU/e)Summary Road Traffic Flow - Analysis, Optimization and Control Transportation plays a pivotal role in a society's economic and social welfare. Overly congested road traffic networks account for several billions of euros in cost, in the Netherlands alone. Since congestion itself can have many different causes (e.g., too much traffic,…

Online (Zoom)Botond Szabo (Bocconi University) On distributed estimation and testing In recent years, the amount of available information has become so vast in certain fields of applications that it is infeasible or undesirable to carry out all the computations on a single server. This has motivated the design and study of…

Online (Zoom)Karl Rohe (UW Madison) Vintage Factor Analysis with Varimax Performs Statistical Inference Psychologists developed Multiple Factor Analysis to decompose multivariate data into a small number of interpretable factors without any a priori knowledge about those factors. In this form of factor analysis, the Varimax "factor rotation" is a key step…

MF 11-12 (4th floor MetaForum Building, TU/e)Rik Versendaal (UU) Sampling simple random graphs under degree and edge-weight constraints In , the problem was studied of sampling simple random graphs with degree constraints, which is typically a hard problem. Therefore, the authors proposed a sequential algorithm that samples such graphs asymptotically uniformly at random, when the number…
