Events

One cornerstone of the CoE activity is to organize joint seminars, workshops and summer schools. Read more about our upcoming events below.
Intensive course: Introduction to Discrete Stochastic Games and PDEs

Speaker: Juan J. Manfredi, University of Pittsburgh

Time: Wednesday 9 October at 12:15—17:00

Place: MaD 302, Mattilanniemi 

Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Jyväskylä

Abstract:

These lectures will cover the necessary background in probability theory, discrete stochastic games, and viscosity solutions to study random tug-of-war games with noise. Below are a list of topics and a list of selected references. 

(1) Probability tools: Discrete Stochastic Processes, Martingales. 

(2) Viscosity Solutions. The Theorem on Sums. 

(3) Asymptotic Mean Value Properties, p-Harmonious Functions. 

(4) PDEs on Directed Trees. 

(5) Regularity for p-harmonic functions via the Ishii-Lions method.
