Applied Mathematics and Analysis Seminar

As part of the Duke University Department of Mathematics, the Program in Applied Mathematics hosts this ongoing series of seminars. The presentations cover a broad range of topics including numerical analysis, ordinary and partial differential equations, nonlinear systems, scientific computing, dynamical systems theory, mathematical biology, pattern formation, and complex physical systems.

As a convenience, some selected seminars and presentations can be viewed live via the web. Further, we have video archives of past talks, which are also publicly available for you to view at any time.

A basis exchange property for matroids Johnny Humphries Assistant Research Professor Applicant Monday, November 23, 2009, 4:30 p.m. 119 Physics Building Rota conjectured that the set of elements from n disjoint bases of a rank-$n$ matroid $M$ can be repartitioned into $n$ disjoint transversal sets that are also bases of $M$. We present a stronger result for the class of paving matroids, and explain why the techniques used in the proof fail when trying to prove the conjecture directly.
