Next Math Colloquium Talk Looks at Biological Aggregation, Oct. 23
The third talk in the fall 2013 Mathematics Colloquium Series will examine the relationship between mathematics and biological aggregation. Hosted by the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, the talk is free and all are welcome to attend.
“Biological Aggregation in Nonlocal Models”
Mathematics Colloquium Series | Ciprian Gal, Ph.D. (Florida International University)
Wednesday, Oct. 23
Noon–1:00 p.m.
Carl DeSantis Building | Room 1047
About the Talk
This talk will discuss recent developments concerning the long-term behavior of possibly finite-dimensional global attractors and convergence to a single equilibrium, as time goes to infinity, of solutions to a continuum model for biological aggregations. The model to be featured is the aggregation equation with both degenerate and non-degenerate diffusion, in which individuals experience long-range social attraction and short-range dispersal.
About the Series
Hosted by the college’s Division of Math, Science, and Technology, the Mathematics Colloquium Series aims to increase awareness of mathematics’ importance and applications in daily life. The series also gives mathematics faculty members and students the opportunity to discuss independent research and share their passion for the subject.
For more information, contact Vehbi Paksoy, Ph.D., or Vehbi Paksoy, Ph.D., ssociate professors at the college.
