This talk will focus on theory and practice of combinatorial auctions and their application to thesale of wireless spectrum licenses. As new wireless applications emerge worldwide, the wireless industry and government regulators are looking to reallocate wireless spectrum to better match the demand. Combinatorial auctions can play an effective r...

The classical way of measuring the regularity of a function is by comparing itin the neighbourhood of any point with a polynomial of sufficiently high degree.Would it be possible to replace monomials by functions with less regular behaviouror even by distributions? It turns out that the answer to this question hassurprisingly far-reaching conseq...

I will explain the concept of transit-time distributions (TTDs) todiagnose passive tracer transport in geophysical fluids, like theEarth's ocean and atmosphere. The TTD is directly related to the Green'sfunction to the advection/diffusion equation for the concentration of adynamically-passive trace substance. Diagnosing and interpreting theTTD, ...

This talk deals with optimal harvesting strategies for the predator in a predator-prey system. The objective function is of long-run average per unit time type in the path-wise sense.The ecological system is subject to environmental noise modeled as stochastic differential equations driven by a Brownian motion. The main result is to prove the ex...
