Sensitivity results for rate independent evolutions

Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 3, 14195 Berlin, Hinterhaus, Raum 130
Abstract
Rate independent evolutions are evolutions whose solution operators commute with time transformations. They are inherently nonlinear and nonsmooth. We present some introduction, outlining various mathematical approaches as well as relations to other fields. We then address sensitivity, in particular the question whether the solution operators possess weak differentiability properties.

Abstract
Place k black particles and n-k white particles on the vertices of an n vertex graph, with one per vertex. Suppose each edge rings at rate 1 independently, and when an edge rings particles at the end-points switch positions. Oliveira conjectured that this "k-particle exclusion process" has mixing time of order at most that of k independent particles. Together with Jonathan Hermon we prove a bound for regular graphs which is in general within a log log n factor from this conjecture when k>n^c and which, in certain cases, verifies the conjecture. As a result we obtain new mixing time bounds for the exclusion process on expanders and the hypercube.

A general concept of majorization and a corresponding Robin Hood method

Weierstraß-Institut, Mohrenstr. 39, 10117 Berlin, Erdgeschoss, Erhard-Schmidt-Hörsaal
Abstract
The Robin Hood method is a numerical method for constructing a double-stochastic matrix that maps a given vector to another vector that is also given. This is possible if the preimage majorizes the image. The majorization of vectors is a special order sometimes called the Lorentz order. A double-stochastic matrix is a special case of a Markov (or stochastic) matrix. In the case of a general Markov matrix, it is not yet clear when such a construction is possible, what kind of condition similar to the majorization must be fulfilled by the given vectors, nor is a numerical method for determining the matrix known (regardless some heuristic iterative versions of the Robin-Hood method).
In the talk, we give a complete solution to all these problems, including a general direct Robin Hood method. It turns out that the construction of a Markov matrix from two given pairs of two vectors is possible if and only if the pairs satisfy a certain order condition. If one interprets the vectors as states of a physical system, then this order is exactly the order known as the natural time order or the second law of thermodynamics.

Optimal and feedback control of some reaction-diffusion equations

Weierstraß-Institut, Mohrenstr. 39, 10117 Berlin, Erdgeschoss, Erhard-Schmidt-Hörsaal
Abstract
The optimal control of some systems of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations is considered including the Nagumo and FitzHugh--Nagumo equations. These equations are known to develop traveling wave fronts, spiral waves or scroll rings as solutions. Well-posedness of the system, differentiability of the control-to-state mapping, and optimality conditions of first order are briefly sketched. In particular, the case of sparse optimal control is addressed. Moreover, the optimization of time-delays in local and nonlocal Pyragas type feedback control up to the control by measures is discussed. Various numerical examples illustrate the great diversity of geometrical patterns and their control.

Modeling Navier--Stokes equations for high Reynolds number flows and complex geometries in aerodynamic applications

Abstract
The flight of an aircraft through a turbulent environment presents a difficult numerical problem. Though it can be easily described by the Navier-Stokes equations, it is impossible to perform a direct numerical simulation resolving all physically relevant scales. For several decades, numerous different models have been developed which perform very well for very specific problems. However, since the aircraft flight includes complex geometries as well as large spatial dimensions these models fail to capture all important features of the problem.
The vision of establishing a simulation system for virtual flight in a realistic environment is addressed by the coupling of two separate flow solvers in a bi-directional manner. This enables for example the simulation of a flight through gusts, trailing vortices and clear air turbulence, including the effects on the aircraft and the roll-up of trailing vortices and their further development until final decay. A compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver resolves the near-field around an aircraft model. An incompressible Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) solver is used to model the atmosphere around the aircraft with its wake footprint in the LES domain. This hybrid simulation setup is used to investigate complex physical problems occurring in different flight scenarios.

Abstract
The goal of the workshop is to offer junior female researchers in stochastics a platform to talk about their own research work and to get acquainted with important research topics presented by well-established female researchers. To cover various topics in probability and its applications, two keynote talks by outstanding female probabilists and four invited talks are planned. Moreover, a number of contributed talks will be chosen by the organizing committee among the submitted abstracts.
