This short survey has been prepared in connection with the workshop on discrete metric spaces and their applications at Princeton, August, 2003, and tries to convey some of the ways that one might look at functions on metric spaces in…
This note details the development of a discrete-time diffusion process to approximate the midnight customer count process in a $M_\textrm{per}/\textrm{Geo}_\textrm{2timeScale}/N$ system. We prove a limit theorem that supports this diffusion…
Notes of the lectures delivered in Les Houches during the Summer School on Complex Systems (July 2006).
These are the lecture notes (in Italian) of a course held in Perugia, Italy, during the summer 2002. They concern the basic facts on the iterative solution of linear systems. The course is self-contained and requires only basic knowledge of…
This EPTCS volume collects the post-proceedings of the 10th International Workshop On User Interfaces for Theorem Provers (UITP 2012), held as part of the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM 2012) in Bremen on July 11th…
These are lecture notes for a mini-course given at the Cornell Probability Summer School in July 2013. Topics include lozenge tilings of polygons and their representation theoretic interpretation, the (q,t)-deformation of those leading to…
We propose a geometric counterpart of the dimer model on bipartite graphs. A state of our model consists of a choice of a point for each white vertex and hyperplane for each black vertex. This data is subject to certain conditions…
This is a set of lecture notes introducing graduate students to the topic of Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methods.
The first two lectures are devoted to describing the basic concepts of scattering theory in a very compressed way. A detailed presentation of the abstract part can be found in \cite{I} and numerous applications in \cite{RS} and \cite{Y2}.…
These notes form an extended version of a minicourse delivered in Universite de Montreal (June 2002) within the framework of a NATO workshop ``Normal Forms, Bifurcations and Finiteness Problems in Differential Equations''. The focus is on…
These notes reproduce the content of a short, 50-minutes, survey talk given at the Nice University in September, 2004. We added a few topics that have not been touched on in the lecture by lack of time.
We consider the so-called Dickman subordinator, whose Levy measure has density 1/x restricted to the interval (0,1). The marginal density of this process, known as the Dickman function, appears in many areas of mathematics, from number…
We consider a three-dimensional lattice model consisting of layers of vertex models coupled with interlayer interactions. For a particular non-trivial interlayer interaction between charge-conserving vertex models and using a transfer…
This is a brief and gentle introduction, aimed at graduate students, to the subject of model subspaces of the Hardy space.
These are edited notes of my mini-course given at the Analysis and PDE center of the University of Ghent, Belgium, in November 2024.
Error control by means of a posteriori error estimators or indica-tors and adaptive discretizations, such as adaptive mesh refinement, have emerged in the late seventies. Since then, numerous theoretical developments and improvements have…
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.

This is an extension and background to a talk I gave on 9 October 2013 to the Brown Graduate Student Seminar, called `A friendly intro to sieves with a look towards recent progress on the twin primes conjecture.' During the talk, I mention…
