Homogenization has been a very active area of research in both PDE and probability theory for many years. In this talk, we will first review classical results on periodic homogenization for divergence form operators. We will then present our recent results on periodic homogenization for non-local, stable-like operators. Both qualitative and quantitative results will be discussed. Moreover, we will explore quantitative periodic homogenization on bounded domains, where the rate of convergence near the boundary slows down

OIST and Kyusyu University have signed an MOU in 2023 to pursue broad research collaboration. As part of this initiative, we have been holding joint symposia to deepen exchanges between our researchers. The first symposium was held at OIST last year with the theme "Bio-inspired Energy." The 2nd Joint Workshop will be held in Kyushu University focusing on Quantum Technology and AI.

Title: Preserving Nature's Treasures: Biodiversity Conservation, Species Discoveries, and World Heritage Nomination in Mindanao

By Prof. Dr. Alma B. Mohagan from Central Mindanao University in Philippines

Abstract:

In this talk we will study the Lp1 × Lp2 → Lp boundedness for bilinear rough singular integral operators LΩ associated with Ω ∈ L(log L)α(S2n−1) with mean value zero. We will first review classical linear singular integrals and then study how the results have been extended and developed in the bilinear setting, presenting the most recent results. If time permits, general multilinear problems will be also discussed
