Analysis Seminar

New Approximations of the Total Variation, and Filters in Image Processing
Haim Brezis
3:15pm|S-101

I will present new results concerning the approximation of the BV-norm by nonlocal, nonconvex, functionals. The original motivation comes from Image Processing. Numerous problems remain open. The talk is based on a joint work with H.-M. Nguyen.

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Contact Non-Squeezing and Rabinowitz Floer Homologhy
1:30pm|S-101

We will present joint work with Will Merry. Using spectral invariants in Rabinowitz Floer homology we present an abstract contact non-squeezing theorem for periodic contact manifolds. We then exemplify this in concrete examples. Finally we explain...
