In this talk, we describe a range of tools available for modeling and solving mathematical optimization problems in Python. The tools range from high-level Python-based modeling languages to low-level solver APIs for passing optimization problem data directly to solvers. Examples and code snippets will be given to illustrate the use of these too...

We develop a general framework for the study of a class of randomized load balancing models in networks with many servers and in the presence of general service distributions. A key ingredient is a convenient Markovian representation of the state in terms of interacting measure-valued processes. We apply the framework to establish mean-field lim...

Finite-dimensional diffusions have been successfully used as tractable approximations to gaininsight into a large class of queueing systems. We show that certain classes of queueingsystems lead naturally to infinite-dimensional diffusion approximations. For the particular model of many-server queues, we show that the limit state processconverges...

Two approaches to characterizing reflected diffusions include the submartingale problem formulation or a formulation in terms of the Skorokhod problem and stochastic differential equations. We introduce these formulations for a large class of piecewise smooth domains and, under suitable assumptions, we show that well-posedness of the submartinga...

Reflected or constrained diffusions in convex polyhedral domains arise in a variety of disciplines, including as approximations of queueing and chemical reaction networks, interacting particle systems, Leontief systems in economics, and in the study of Atlas models in math finance. We establish pathwise differentiability of a large class of obli...

The nonlinear and stochastic dynamics of oscillating microcantilevers in the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) are closely linked to the microscope's stability, resolution, minimum force detection, and the ability to generate material contrast. The bifurcations, stability, higher harmonics, and chaotic dynamics mechanisms are now well understood for...

The Milnor conjectures relating the graded Witt ring and the mod-2 Galois cohomology ring of a field have been a driving force in the algebraic theory of quadratic forms. The degree 2 norm residue isomorphism, due to Merkurjev, established the first case of the Milnor conjectures and ushered in a new era in the theory of quadratic forms. We shal...

Biologically active fluids, such as bacterial suspensions orcytoskeletal extracts with molecular motors and ATP, are a source ofintriguing problems in the physics of complex fluids. They are composedof particles that with internal machinery that take up energy from theirsurroundings and actively move the surrounding medium. My talk willreview re...

On Tuesday, September 20, 2011, Dr. Sonia Cancian, a Montreal-based scholar affiliated with the IHRC "Digitizing Immigrant Letters" project interviewed Ms. Antonietta Petris at her home in St. Leonard (Montreal) about letters exchanged between Ms. Petris and Mr. Loris Palma of Venice, Italy, during the fall of 1948, shortly after Ms. Petris' arr...

Eugene McCarthy greets an enthusiastic crowd of African-American supporters, many of the people smiling and reaching forward to shake the Senators hand. There are many flags, signs, and balloons being held. Written on the back of the photograph in ink "Atlanta, GA by Sheldon Ramsdell July 18th, 1968".
