After a brief overview of electrohydrodynamics including Maxwell's electric stress tensor under AC fields where the medium has both conductive and dielectric characteristics, we focus on the problem of electrowetting actuation of sessile drops on a patterned array of electrodes with a thin dielectric coating. For both the case when the drop is e...

In this tutorial, a number of approaches to mathematical modelingof electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD), also known as digitalmicrofluidics (DMF) will be reviewed. EWOD refers to methods forcausing droplets to move along solid surfaces or changing the shapes of attached drops (e.g., to actuate a liquid lens) by applying apotential difference bet...

Suppose that we are given a semi-martngale whose coefficients are affected by a diffusion process and a control parameter. We are concerned with minimizing the probability that the growth rate of the semi-martingale falls below a certain level over large time. It is to be noted that the asymptotic behavior of the minimizing probability relates t...

Pseudodifferential operators (PDOs) stand as the centerpiece of the Fourier (or time-frequency) method in the study of PDEs. They extend the class of translation-invariant operators since 'multipliers' are replaced by 'symbols'. The quantitative behavior of these symbols, primarily illustrated by the well-known Hormander classes, allows for a co...

The modern view of the nervous system as layering distributedcomputation and communication for the purpose of sensorimotorcontrol and homeostasis has much experimental evidence butlittle theoretical foundation, leaving unresolved the connectionbetween diverse components and complex behavior. As a simple startingpoint, we address a fundamental tr...
