4:00pm to 5:00pm - RH 306 - Applied and Computational Mathematics Sungha Yoon - (UCI) Phase-field method for simulating the chemomechanical regulation of growing tumors Mechanical forces and biochemical signaling networks play a crucial role in cell behavior in growing tissues. The nonlinear dynamics of tissue growth arises from complex interactions between cells and their surroundings. However, the role of chemomechanical regulation which governs the size, shape, and structure of multicellular tissues remains insufficiently understood. To investigate this, we develop a thermodynamically consistent phase-field model in the Eulerian framework to simulate nonlinear tissue growth in confined geometries. Our formulation integrates both elastic and chemical energies through an energy variational approach. Additionally, we implement an efficient finite difference based multigrid method with a special boundary treatment to incorporate applied forces. We confirm the validity of our phase-field model by demonstrating its convergence to an experimentally supported sharp-interface model. Furthermore, we examine how elastic forces, variations in tumor and host stiffness, and external forces influence the evolution of single and multifocal tumors in confined geometries. |
1:00pm to 2:00pm - RH 440R - Dynamical Systems Victor Kleptsyn - (CNRS, University of Rennes 1, France) Generalization of the Baxendale Theorem The famous Baxendale Theorem states that for a random dynamical system by diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold M^d, unless the system possesses a measure that is invariant under all the maps of the system (that is quite rare), there exists an ergodic stationary measure with strictly negative «volume» Lyapunov exponent |
3:00pm to 4:00pm - 510R Rowland Hall - Combinatorics and Probability Stanislav Minsker - (USC) Improved performance guarantees for Tukey’s median Is there a natural way to order data in dimension greater than one? The approach based on the notion of data depth, often associated with the name of John Tukey, is among the most popular. Tukey’s depth has found applications in robust statistics, the study of elections and social choice, and graph theory. We will give an introduction to the topic (with an emphasis on robust statistics), describe some remaining open questions as well as our recent progress towards the solutions.
