Low-rank methods have proven their utility as a complexity reduction technique for kinetic equations, both in the collisionless and collisional regimes (see, e.g., the recent review article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2025.114191). Since the...

Hilbert's metric was first introduced by Hilbert, as the name suggests, in the 19th century in order to study metrics on subsets for which straight lines are geodesics. This is related to Hilbert's 4th problem. By the work of G. Birkhoff, these...

We investigate the Steklov eigenvalue problem in the exterior of a bounded Euclidean domain. In particular, we prove the equivalence of several formulations of this problem previously proposed in the literature. We derive geometric eigenvalue...

We have all been treated to the excitement of a good science story. Think Discovery Channel or National Geographic. The stories are really engaging! Well, the very same tools and techniques that make great science stories can be used to strengthen...

Secure online communications and financial transactions depend on public key cryptography—but the methods we use today are susceptible to attack by quantum computers. When that will happen is uncertain, though estimates range from 5 to 25 years. This...

In this talk, we start by recalling the well-known problem of multivariate approximation by polynomials of total degree, concerning finding good points for interpolation. This allowed the discovery of the Padua Points, the first set of unisolvent and...
