Kick-off meeting |
Kick-off meeting
|
| After an exceptionally long semester break, let us reconvene online!
Since communication was severely hindered by the pandemic, let us start off with a short review of the past months:
What did you do (research-wise, conferences, projects, etc)? Give us a short update!
Let us also look forward to the upcoming winter semester: What are your plans and goals?

Takens-Bogdanov bifurcation in Metabolic Networks
|
| As a close continuation of the talks of last summer semester, in this talk I will focus on detection and characterization of parameters for Takens-Bogdanov bifurcations in metabolic networks.

An introduction to groupoids |
| As indicated by the -oid suffix, a groupoid is similar to a group. But how exactly? And how does it generalize the group concept?
In this talk, I will give a gentle introduction to the theory of groupoids, as well as present some interesting examples.

Spectral Coarse-Graining of SIS-Dynamics on networks
|
| When computing the solutions of epidemic models on networks, the state
space quickly becomes unfeasibly large. The dimension of the process can
be reduced via linear projections. This talk is about an approach to
preserve the behavior of the dynamic as closely as possible under such projections.

HL Bianchi models: Periodic orbits and boundary cases
|
| This is the defense of my Bachelor thesis. In this thesis I introduce the Kasner map for parameter dependent Bianchi models within Horava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity. I discuss the dynamics of the map for the boundary values of such parameter range and the existence and uniqueness of periodic orbits.

Toward the asymptotic analysis of unregularized gradient flow lines
|
| Floer homology, with the title of "homology", requires quite
tough analysis on its basis.
We focus on pseudo vector fields "unregularized gradien", proposed by A.
Floer in Hamilton Floer homology, and discuss the very first step for
extending the framework to delay/non-local dynamical system.

Periodic orbits of a delayed oscillator
|
| In this talk I will introduce a type of delayed oscillator that, to my knowledge, has not gotten a lot of attention in the literature. Furthermore I will show some first results on the existence of periodic orbits of winding number 1 and will present some speculations and conjectures on these oscillators that I was not able to prove yet.

The Riesz projection for the monodromy operator of a time-periodic DDE |
| For a compact operator T, we can compute the projection operator on an eigenspace as the residue of the resolvent at the eigenvalue (in this context, the projection operator is sometimes known as the Riesz projection). The advantage of this formalism is that we can compute the projection without having to find an explicit representation of the dual of T.
In this talk, I will apply this concept in the context of the monodromy operator of a time-periodic delay differential equation. I will starting by reviewing the main concepts of holomorphic functions taking values in a complex Banach space, and the main concepts of the Riesz projection. Then I will explicitly compute the projection operator for a simple eigenvalue of the monodromy operator, and show how the characteristic equation naturally appears in this setting.

Identification of damping and stiffness from output only data
|
| In this work I plan to identify damping and stiffness from output only data using theoretical techniques. The results of this ongoing project could be helpful in the diagnosis of vibrating structures while they are under continuous operation.

Dynamics of a morbidostat for selection of drug-resistant mutants
|
| A morbidostat is a more advanced chemostat device for developing a microbial culture, where continuous amount of an antibiotic drug is injected/diluted when the total microbes is more/less than some threshold value. During the course of evolution, we are interested in which mutants prevail because of their drug resistance. We introduce a system of ODEs with a drug-on-off-condition to model the morbidostat. Then we study the global dynamics and its dependence on the threshold value by the method of Lyapunov functions. This ongoing research is motivated by Prof. Sze-Bi Hsu.

Bianchi type VI0 and VII models in Horava-Lifshitz cosmology
|
| After long detours on past talks regarding the discrete dynamics in HL cosmology by means of perturbing the Kasner map, we will focus on the continuous dynamics in this talk. In particular, we will describe the complete asymptotics (alpha and omega limit sets) of the Bianchi type VI0 and VII models in HL cosmology, due to the existence of Lyapunov functions. Lastly, we will propose conjectures for the Bianchi type VIII and IX models.
