講座題目1：Orthogonal Polynomials and Asymptotic Methods

講座時間：8:30-9:30

報告人：王世全 院士

講座內(nèi)容簡介：

Orthogonal Polynomials is an important classical subject in mathematics, physics and engineering. One of the research topics in this area is to investigate the behaviours of these polynomials as their degree tends to infinity. In this talk, I will first recall some discrete and neo-classical orthogonal polynomials. Then I will briefly describe various asymptotic methods in differential equations that are available for applications. Finally, I will present a recent development in the asymptotic theory for second-order difference equations. The importance of this development is that orthogonal polynomials may not satisfy any differential equations, but they all satisfy a three-term recurrence relation, which is a second-order difference equation.

講座題目2：Asymptotic analysis of differential equations with applications in mathematical biology

講座時間：9:30-10:30

報告人：汪翔升 教授

講座內(nèi)容簡介：

In the study of biological models, functional analysis and dynamical system approach enable us to obtain qualitative information of the model systems. Moreover, numerical techniques help us interpret the solutions quantitatively. However, there are some limitations on abstract analysis and numerical analysis. In this talk, we will illustrate how to go beyond these limits via asymptotic methods. Especially, we will conduct asymptotic analysis on an ion channel model which couples an elliptic equation with several parabolic equations, and on an avian influenza model which is characterized by a periodic system with time delays. We will find an asymptotic solution for the first model system and approximate the dynamic threshold for the second one.
