There is a long story of the role nonlinearity plays in optics and photonics. From the early experiments in second harmonic generation to the demonstration of optical solitons in fiber optics, the field continues to evolve in several directions. Rather than presenting well developed ideas, in this seminar I will attempt to provide examples mostl...
Mean field type models describing the limiting behavior of stochastic differential game problems as the number of players tends to infinity, have been recently introduced by J-M. Lasry and P-L. Lions. They may lead to systems of evolutive partial differential equations coupling a forward Bellman equation and a backward Fokker-Planck equation. Th...

At the heart of every local search procedure is a directed graph on candidate solutions (states) such that every unsatisfying state has at least one outgoing arc. In randomized local search the hope is that a random walk on the graph reaches a satisfying state (sink) quickly. We give a general algorithmic local lemma by establishing a sufficient...

Bauerkeller invented a type of relief printing for city maps called "geomontographie." The city blocks with buildings are raised in white, while streets, squares, parks & rivers are printed in colors. Includes "account of the population of London," and inset showing Isle of Dogs & Greenwich Park.
