Once a month, the Scientific Computing and Data Analysis section (SCDA) and the Bioinformatics User Group host an open co-working afternoon. We started it because we wanted a relaxed space where people could get to know each other and work side by side. Some people come with an HPC question or an analysis they’re stuck on, some bring their own work for a change of scenery, and some just stop by to chat about anything but computers (our favorite visitors!) Join us November 18th, 1:00 - 5:30 PM, in the Cafe Private Room (C102, CTRL Building)!

TSVP Talk Language: English (no interpretation). Target audience: General audience / everyone at OIST and beyond. Freely accessible to all OIST members and guests without registration (also via Zoom).

[Speaker] Prof. Takahiro Tsukahara, Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Tokyo University of Science

Talk by Camilo Libedinsky, National University of Singapore

Speaker: Professor Megumi Sano, Nara Women's University Title: Critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities via nonlinear scaling argument Abstract: In this talk, we consider logarithmic weighted inequalities as a critical case of polynomial weighted inequalities which was shown by Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg in 1984. This is a joint work with Yerkin Shaimerdenov(SDU University, Kazakhstan) and Hinako Sugimura(Nara Women's University, M2).
