| Friday 15th May 2009 | Dr Peter Pudney |
In this seminar, Peter will give essentially the same presentation that he gave on the Mitsubishi tour. The presentation contains no equations but many graphs. |
Q1-01 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm |
| Friday 1st May 2009 | Professor Guy Latouche |
Fluid queues à la Matrix-analytic In this presentation, I shall focus on the type of arguments that have been used to determine the structure of the stationary distribution of fluid queues and I will comment on the procedures whereby one can actually compute it. |
Q1-01 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm |
| Friday 6th March 2009 | Professor Helmut Maurer |
Prof Helmut
Maurer is the leader of the Optimization and Optimal Control group at the
Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics Institute in the University of
Muenster. His research focuses mainly on numerical methods for solving
optimal control problems subject to control and state constraints. To
prove the optimality of a computed solution candidate, he has developed
second-order sufficient optimality conditions (SSC) in a form which is apt for
numerical verification. He has also studied sensitivity analysis of
optimal control problems, which is an important application of SSC. In this
context he has obtained results on solution differentiability of optimal
solutions with respect to parameters, which served as a tool in implementing
real-time control techniques. He has also devised numerical methods for
computing the parametric sensitivity derivatives of optimal solutions. Abstract |
Q1-01 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm |
| Friday 30th January 2009 | Associate Professor Phillippe Lauret |
Associate Professor Phillippe Lauret has been a most active visitor
member of MATS since August and departs for home early next month,
this is an excellent opportunity for you to hear and learn about his
research Abstract |
Q1-01 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm |
