## Upcoming CARMA Events

 CARMA RHD MEETING Location: V205, Mathematics Building (Callaghan), The University of Newcastle Dates: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm, Thu, 23rd Oct 2014 [Permanent link] CARMA SEMINAR Speaker: Nathan Clisby, The University of Melbourne Title: Monte Carlo simulation of self-avoiding walks Location: V205, Mathematics Building (Callaghan), The University of Newcastle Time and Date: 4:00 pm, Thu, 23rd Oct 2014 Abstract: Self-avoiding walks are a widely studied model of polymers, which are defined as walks on a lattice where each successive step visits a neighbouring site, provided the site has not already been visited. Despite the apparent simplicity of the model, it has been of much interest to statistical mechanicians and probabilists for over 60 years, and many important questions about it remain open. One of the most powerful methods to study self-avoiding walks is Monte Carlo simulation. I'll give an overview of the historical developments in this field, and will explain what ingredients are needed for a good Monte Carlo algorithm. I'll then describe how recent progress has allowed for the efficient simulation of truly long walks with many millions of steps. Finally, I'll discuss whether lessons we've learned from simulating self-avoiding walks may be applicable to a wide range of Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations.

[Permanent link] CARMA FINANCE MEETING Location: V205, Mathematics Building (Callaghan), The University of Newcastle Time and Date: 1:00 pm, Mon, 27th Oct 2014 [Permanent link] CARMA OANT SEMINAR Speaker: Yohei Tachiya, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Hirosaki University Title: Algebraic independence results for the generating functions of pattern sequences Location: V205, Mathematics Building (Callaghan), The University of Newcastle Access Grid Venue: CARMA [ENQUIRIES] Time and Date: 4:00 pm, Mon, 27th Oct 2014 Abstract: We first introduce the notations of pattern sequence, which is defined by the number of (possibly) overlapping occurrences of a given word in the $\langle q,r\rangle$-numeration system. After surveying several properties of pattern sequence, we will give necessary and sufficient criteria for the algebraic independence of their generating functions. As applications, we deduce the linear relations between pattern sequences. The proofs of the theorem and the corollaries are based on Mahler's method. [Permanent link] TOOLS FOR MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATION Location: V206, Mathematics Building (Callaghan), The University of Newcastle Dates: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, Tue, 28th Oct 2014 As part of Jon Borwein's Experimental Mathematics Course, he is exploring the uses of the currently available tools for mathematical computation. Each lecture should be independently accessible, so feel free to drop in. [Permanent link] CARMA OANT SEMINAR Speaker: Dr Dzmitry Badziahin, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Durham University Title: On continued fraction expansion of potential counterexamples to mixed Littlewood conjecture Location: V205, Mathematics Building (Callaghan), The University of Newcastle Access Grid Venue: SeeVogh (non-AG) [ENQUIRIES] Time and Date: 10:00 am, Wed, 29th Oct 2014 Abstract: Mixed Littlewood conjecture proposed by de Mathan and Teulie in 2004 states that for every real number $x$ one has $\liminf q * |q|_D * ||qx|| = 0,$ where $|q|_D$ is a so called pseudo norm which generalises the standard p-adic norm. In the talk we'll consider the set mad of potential counterexamples to this conjecture. Thanks to the results of Einsiedler and Kleinbock we already know that the Haudorff dimension of mad is zero, so this set is very tiny. During the talk we'll see that the continued fraction expansion of every element in mad should satisfy some quite restrictive conditions. As one of them we'll see that for these expansions, considered as infinite words, the complexity function can neither grow too fast nor too slow.

This is the second EViMS meeting, following the highly successful one held in Newcastle in November 2012. Our aim for the workshop is to help mathematical scientists understand the opportunities, risks and benefits of visualization, in research and education, in a world where visual content and new methods are becoming ubiquitous.
