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.

Periodic homogenization for non-local stable-like operators Professor Takashi Kumagai Waseda University Abstract :

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
