The Incompressible Euler Equations in Lagrangian Coordinates, with Applications to Analyticity of Fluid Particle Trajectories and to Numerical Simulations
Uriel Frisch
3:15pm|S-101

As is well known, Eulerian simulations with a very small spatial mesh using an explicit scheme also require very small time steps, because the latter must be smaller than the time required to travel accross the mesh at the maximum flow velocity...

Combinatorial Walrasian Equilibrium
Michal Feldman
11:15am|S-101

We study algorithms for combinatorial market design problems, where a collection of objects are priced and sold to potential buyers subject to equilibrium constraints. We introduce the notion of a combinatorial Walrasian equilibrium (CWE) as a...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Central Values of Rankin-Selberg L-Functions and Period Relations
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214

In his work of the early 1980s, Shimura observed that expressions of special values of automorphic L-functions in terms of period invariants could be used to obtain relations among the latter. This observation has since been applied in numerous...
