Cooperations between the people and countries of the Global South are crucial to the socio-economic development of the whole of Africa. Now more than ever, the COVID-19 pandemic makes these cooperations more beneficial. AIMS is leveraging partnerships with Institutions from the South to prepare the brightest young Africans for the job market. Today, we celebrate
“As champions of STEM literacy, through our initiatives, we are building a sustainable pipeline of African expertise by equipping Africa’s youth from the secondary to the postgraduate level…” ~AIMS Global CEO: Ms. Lydie Hakizimana. #ILD2021
As part of the activities for the graduation week celebration, AIMS Ghana brings to students, an exciting learning episode through brainstorming and design thinking. This event will be one that will encourage teamwork among current students and alumni toward the development of ideas to solve real-life problems. It is also an opportunity to prepare you
Speaker: Prof. Aurélien Tellier (Professor of population genetics, Technical University of Munich, Germany) Abstract: The field of evolutionary genetics is profoundly rooted in stochastic mathematical theory and since several years the theory has been extended to model the evolution of full genomes. Indeed, large amounts of full genome data are becoming available for human but also non-model organisms.
Abstract: We prove and apply a local time-space integration formula to provide several Davie type bounds for the Brownian sheet. This local time-space integration formula is similar to that obtained by Eisenbaum for the reversible semimartingales. Davie type bounds are useful to prove strong uniqueness results for stochastic differential equations with irregular drifts. Such estimates originated
Speaker: Prof. Jiro Akahori (Professor, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Ritsumeikan University, Japan) Abstract: In this talk, the law of functionals of fractional Brownian motion, which is quadratic in an infinite-dimensional sense, and also related topics, will be discussed. We are interested in how the classical results on quadratic functionals of standard Browian motion are generalized. Applications will
Speaker: Prof. Marc Sedjro (German Research Chair, AIMS South Africa) Abstract: In this talk, we introduce several models of the so-called forward-forward Mean-Field Games (MFGs). The forward-forward models arise in the study of numerical schemes to approximate stationary MFGs. We establish a link between these models and a class of hyperbolic conservation laws. Furthermore, we investigate the
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Stefan Ankirchner (Professor of Stochastic Analysis, Institute of Mathematics, Friedrich-Schiller-University, Germany) Abstract: In this talk we will see that every one-dimensional continuous regular strong Markov process can be approximated with coin tossing Markov chains. In particular, it is possible to approximate an SDE with an irregular diffusion coefficient with such Markov chains. We also discuss the numerical approximation
Abstract: We will study the superhedging price (and superhedging strategies) of European and American options in non-linear incomplete market models with default, with a particular focus on the case of the American options which is more involved. We will provide a dual representation of the seller’s (superhedging) price for the American option in terms of
“Today, the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) celebrates the International Day of Mathematics . Hitherto celebrated as Pi Day. The IDM is important to us especially as it strongly supports our vision and mission. To all the students, alumni, visiting lecturers, tutors, researchers, partners and friends of the AIMS Global Network, may your contributions
