Speaker: Dr.Liangbing Luo,Queen’s University Title: Discrete Approximation on Metric Measure Spaces of Controlled Geometry via Graphs: Dirichlet Forms and Harmonic Functions Abstract:

Based on the approximation of a metric measure space via discrete graphs, we construct a Dirichlet form. This Dirichlet form is comparable to the upper gradient energy and can be realized as a -limit of a sequence of induced bilinear forms projected from the discrete energy form on the approximating graphs. Moreover, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Based on joint work with A. Butaev and N. Shanmugalingam.

In collaboration with leading venture capital firms, OIST Innovation offers startups and entrepreneurial researchers or students the opportunity to connect directly with venture capitalists for one-on-one mentoring and discussion. Each round begins with an open seminar-style introduction, where participants can learn about the VC firm's investment focus and characteristics. This is followed by private, closed-door mentoring sessions between startups/researchers/students and the VC representatives.

The featured VC for this round is HERO IMPACT CAPITAL .
