 大土木接觸結構學中的影響線，後經修習物理數學方知
 那是格林函數的一種。1984年第一屆應力所林紹雄教授開
 授的應用數學課程讓本人對於勢能理論有了更深入的了
 解，於碩(1984-1986)博士(1990-1994)論文議題也是圍繞著邊界
 元與積分方程。講者有幸在1986-1990年間到中山科學研究
 院二所三組服務，有機會將所發展的對偶邊界元素法應
 用在火箭、飛彈與飛機的氣動力與結構應力分析方面，
 讓超奇異積分方程與Hadamard有限部(finite part)不再那麼不
 可親近。\n\n2003年李明恭主任所主辦的台灣計算數學研討

 From Thurston Geometrization Conjecture to Mori Minimal Model Program</a>\
 nby Shu-Cheng Chang (National Taiwan University) as part of Trends in Math
 ematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nA ce
 ntral problem of differential geometry is the geometrization problem on ma
 nifolds. In particular\, it is to determine which manifolds admit certain 
 geometric structures. One of methods is to understand and classify the sin
 gularity models of the corresponding nonlinear geometric evolution equatio
 n\, and to connect it to the existence problem of geometric structures on 
 manifolds. \n    In 1982\, R. Hamilton introduced the Ricci flow and then 
 by studying the singularity models of Ricci flow\, G. Perelman completely 
 solved Thurston geometrization conjecture and Poincare conjecture for a cl
 osed 3-manifold in 2002 and 2003.\n    On the other hand\, Mori minimal mo
 del program in birational geometry can be viewed as the complex analogue o
 f Thurston's geometrization conjecture. In 1985\, H.-D. Cao introduced the
  Kähler-Ricci flow and then recaptured the Calabi-Yau Conjecture. Moreove
 r\, there is a conjecture picture by Song-Tian  that the Kähler-Ricci flo
 w should carry out the analytic minimal model program with scaling on proj
 ective varieties. Recently\, Song-Weinkove established the above conjectur
 e on a projective algebraic surface. Furthermore\, via the Sasaki-Ricci fl
 ow\, Chang-Lin-Wu proved the Sasaki analogue of minimal model program on c
 losed quasi-regular Sasakian 5-manifolds.\n   In this lecture\, I will add
 ress the above issues in some detail.\n

 Multi-scale\, multi-compartment modelling of the human brain</a>\nby Steph

 search\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nThe increasing 
 rates of cerebrovascular diseases\, such as stroke and dementia\, mean tha
 t understanding cerebral blood flow and its control in both healthy and di
 seased states has become an important clinical problem. However this is ma
 de challenging by the spatial and temporal limitations of human brain imag
 ing and the number of blood vessels involved in a what is a highly complex
  dynamic regulating system over many length scales. In this talk I will di
 scuss the work that we have done to construct models of cerebral blood flo
 w that cover the many length scales involved\, running from a few micromet
 res to a few millimetres. I will show how we have developed such models fr
 om the bottom up\, through highly detailed modelling of the microcirculati
 on and the application of homogenisation and optimisation methods\, in ord
 er to generate a full-brain model of blood flow and oxygen transport. I wi
 ll then talk about how this can be applied (and validated) in pathological
  conditions\, in particular the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. I wil
 l conclude by discussing how we next plan to use multiple time scales in t
 he context of chronic diseases such as dementia and to quantify the effect
 s of interventions such as sleep and exercise on disease progression.\n

 Federated Learning for Sparse Principal Component Analysis</a>\nby Yuh-Jye
  Lee (Academia Sinica) as part of Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLectu
 re held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nIn the rapidly evolving realm 
 of machine learning\, algorithm effectiveness often faces limitations due 
 to data quality and availability. Traditional approaches grapple with data
  sharing due to legal and privacy concerns. The federated learning framewo
 rk addresses this challenge. Federated learning is a decentralized approac
 h where model training occurs on client sides\, preserving privacy by keep
 ing data localized. Instead of sending raw data to a central server\, only
  model updates are exchanged\, enhancing data security. We apply this fram
 ework to Sparse Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) in this work. SPCA aim
 s to attain sparse component loading while maximizing data variance for im
 proved interpretability. We introduce a least squares approximation to ori
 ginal PCA\, adding an $\\ell_1$ norm regularization term to enhance princi
 pal component sparsity\, aiding variable identification and interpretabili
 ty. The problem is formulated as a consensus optimization challenge and so
 lved using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). Our ext
 ensive experiments involve both IID and non-IID random features across var
 ious data owners. Results on synthetic and public datasets affirm the effi
 cacy of our federated SPCA approach.\n

 Covering grids with multiplicity</a>\nby Shagnik Das (National Taiwan Univ
 ersity) as part of Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU
  Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nIt is a fairly simple exercise to determine t
 he minimum number of hyperplanes needed to cover all the points of a finit
 e grid $S_1$ x $S_2$ x ... x $S_d \\in \\mathbb{F}^d$. However\, the situa
 tion becomes much more complex if you add the condition that one of the po
 ints of the grid must be avoided\, leading to a classic problem in combina
 torial geometry. This was resolved by Alon and Füredi in a classic result
  that popularised the use of algebraic methods in combinatorics.\n\nRecent
  work of Clifton and Huang\, in which they considered the question a varia
 nt of the problem where the nonzero points of a hypercube should be covere
 d multiple times while avoiding the origin\, brought renewed interest to t
 his problem. In addition to Alon-Füredi-style algebraic arguments\, they 
 used linear programming to asymptotically resolve the problem in certain r
 anges.\n\nDespite all the attention this problem has received\, there rema
 in many open problems\, even in the case of two-dimensional grids over $\\
 mathbb{R}$. In this talk\, after surveying the background and introducing 
 the techniques used\, we shall present some recent results that resolve th
 e problem for almost all two-dimensional grids.\n\nThe new results are joi
 nt work with Anurag Bishnoi\, Simona Boyadzhiyska and Yvonne den Bakker\, 
 and separately with Valjakas Djaljapayan\, Yen-Chi Roger Lin and Wei-Hsuan
  Yu.\n

 The derived Bézout theorem</a>\nby Adeel Khan (Academia Sinica) as part o
 f Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n
 \nAbstract\nGiven two smooth algebraic curves of degrees $d$ and $e$ in th
 e complex projective plane\, Bezout’s theorem is a classical result asse
 rting that the intersection consists of either infinitely many or exactly 
 $d\\cdot e$ points\, counted with multiplicities.  Generalizing this formu
 la to intersections in higher-dimensional projective space was a task that
  fuelled much of 20th century algebraic geometry\, eventually culminating 
 in J.-P. Serre’s solution in 1958.\n\nWe will review some of this histor
 y before presenting a 21st century point of view on Bézout’s theorem.  
 Specifically\, we will see that the modern language of derived algebraic g
 eometry allows us to give a simple definition of intersection multipliciti
 es\, which unlike Serre’s formula applies even to non-proper intersectio
 ns\, and yields a vast generalization of Bézout theorem for arbitrary int
 ersections of projective hypersurfaces.\n

 >Gene-tree statistics: moments and limit laws for ancestral configurations
 </a>\nby Michael Fuchs (National Chengchi University) as part of Trends in
  Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\
 nFor a given species tree\, ancestral configurations are the gene lineages
  which can be present at a node of the species tree over the set of all ge
 ne trees. Root ancestral configurations are the ancestral configurations w
 hich are present at the root. They play an important role in a (standard) 
 algorithm for computing probabilities of gene trees that have evolved with
 in the given species tree. In particular\, their number is a measure for t
 he complexity of this algorithm. In this talk\, we give background\, revie
 w recent results about the number of ancestral configurations and root anc
 estral configurations for matching species and gene trees under the unifor
 m and Yule Harding model\, and  explain our recent refinements of these re
 sults which concern moments and limit laws. The talk is based on joint wor

 >Coevolution of moons and the spin axis of their host planet</a>\nby Melai
 ne Saillenfest (IMCCE\, Observatoire de Paris\, France) as part of Trends 
 in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstrac
 t\nAstrometric observations of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn have reveal
 ed that their orbits expand over time faster than previously thought. This
  significant orbital "migration" implies that efficient mechanisms of tida
 l energy dissipation are at play in the interiors of gaseous planets. Thes
 e findings profoundly affect our understanding of the formation and evolut
 ion of moons\, but also of the spin-axis dynamics of their host planet. Th
 e coupling between the planet's spin-axis dynamics (the "Cassini states") 
 and the moons' orbital dynamics (the "Laplace plane") can gradually tilt t
 he planet and make the system converge to a highly unstable configuration.
  This mechanism has direct applications in the Solar system: Jupiter today
  is about to start the tilting phase\, Saturn is probably halfway in\, and
  Uranus may have completed the final unstable stage.\n

 \nWest Nile virus (WNv) is a mosquito-borne infection\, causing health cha
 llenges to bird\nand human populations. In this talk\, I plan to propose a
  general nonlocal reaction-diffusion model to explore\nthe combined effect
  of alternative hosts\, vector-host movement and spatial-temporal environm
 ental\nstructure on WNv transmission dynamics. The model is partially dege
 nerate and\nits solution maps lack compactness due to the absence of diffu
 sion terms in larval equations.\nFor this tightly coupled disease model\, 
 we introduce the mosquito reproduction number \nand WNv reproduction numbe
 r\, respectively\, and further show that these two aforementioned\nreprodu
 ction numbers completely determine the threshold behaviour of the disease\
 nspread. Numerical simulations support our analytic results and suggest th
 at environmental\nheterogeneity plays an important role in shaping WNv dyn
 amics. Moreover\, bird migration may increase the disease risk.\n\nThis ta

  NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nI will discuss a (relatively) new approa
 ch\nto norm inequalities in the weighted and variable exponent Hardy\nspac
 es.  The weighted Hardy spaces $H^p(w)$\, $p>0$\, where $w$ is a\nMuckenho
 upt weight\, were first considered by Stromberg and Torchinsky\nin the 198
 0s.  The variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\\cdot)}$ is\,\nintuitively\, a cla
 ssical Lebesgue space with the constant exponent $p$\nreplaced by an expon
 ent function $p(\\cdot)$.  They have been studied\nextensively for the las
 t 30 years.  The corresponding variable Hardy\nspaces $H^{p(\\cdot)}$ were
  introduced by me and Li-An Wang and\nindependently by Nakai and Sawano.\n
 \nWe give inter-related conditions\non a Calderon-Zygmund singular integra
 l operator $T$\, a weight $w$\,\nand an exponent $p(\\cdot)$ for $T$ to sa
 tisfy estimates of the\nform$$ T : H^p(w) \\rightarrow L^p(w)\, \\qquad T:
  H^{p(\\cdot)}\n\\rightarrow L^{p(\\cdot)}.$$ Some of our results were kno

 nproofs and give extensions to non-convolution type operators.  Our\nproof
 s depend very heavily on three tools: atomic decompositions of\nthe Hardy 
 spaces\, vector-valued inequalities\, and the Rubio de Francia\ntheory of 
 extrapolation.\n\nWe will also discuss generalizations of these\nresults t

 ems</a>\nby Dr. Jan Harold Alcantara (RIKEN\, Japan) as part of Trends in 
 Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S506.\n\nAbstract\n
 The optimal value function approach provides a useful reformulation of the
  bilevel optimization problem\, but its utility is often hindered by the n
 onsmoothness of the value function even in cases when the associated lower
 -level function is smooth. In this talk\, we present two smoothing strateg
 ies for the value function associated with lower-level functions that are 
 not necessarily smooth but are Lipschitz continuous. The first method empl
 oys a quadratic regularization approach for partially convex lower-level f
 unctions\, while the second utilizes entropic regularization for general l
 ower-level objective functions. Meanwhile\, the property known as gradient
  consistency is crucial in ensuring that a designed smoothing algorithm is
  globally subsequentially convergent to stationary points of the equivalen
 t reformulation of the bilevel problem. With this in mind\, we show that t
 he proposed smooth approximations satisfy the gradient consistent property
  under certain conditions on the lower-level function.\n

 >Theoretical Foundation of the Stretch Energy Minimization for Area-Preser
 ving Simplicial Mappings</a>\nby Dr. Mei-Heng Yueh (National Taiwan Normal
  University) as part of Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in
  NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\nAbstract\nThe stretch energy is an energy function
 al particularly defined for the measurement of the area distortion for sim
 plicial mapping\, which has been applied to efficiently compute area-prese
 rving parameterizations of simplicial surfaces. The stretch energy has a n
 ice geometric interpretation that is helpful for the generalization of the
  functional to higher dimensional manifold mappings. On the application as
 pect\, parameterizations of simplicial surfaces have been widely applied i
 n computer graphics that aim to efficiently compute a diffeomorphism betwe
 en a simplicial surface and a canonical domain. This provides the surface 
 with a unified coordinate system that simplifies various image and geometr
 y processing tasks such as alignment and blending of images and surfaces. 
 In this talk\, I will introduce the theoretical foundation of stretch ener
 gy minimization for the computation of area-preserving parameterizations o
 f simplicial surfaces. Applications in image and surface blending and area
 -preserving deformations will be demonstrated to highlight the practical u
 tility of the parameterizations.\n

 >Hadamard product of random matrices and their limiting spectral distribut
 ions</a>\nby Dr. Hao-Wei Huang (National Tsing Hua University) as part of 
 Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S101.\n\n
 Abstract\nIn this talk I shall present the limiting spectral distributions
  of the Hadamard products of random matrices GUEs. In certain scenarios\, 
 the limiting spectral distributions of such random matrix models exist and
  can be described in terms of square free convolutions. One related questi
 on to square free additive convolution is to investigate when the multipli
 cative convolution of the semi-circular law and a probability law on the p
 ositive real line has a semi-circular law as a component in the free addit
 ive convolution. We shall answer this question by offering necessary and s
 ufficient conditions. This is joint work with Ming Hsiao.\n

 >Automated prediction of problem solving performance using eye movement: C
 an AI help?</a>\nby Dr. John Lin (National Taiwan Normal University) as pa
 rt of Trends in Mathematical Research\n\nLecture held in NTNU Gongguan S10
 1.\n\nAbstract\nWith the ability to predict learning behaviors in complex 
 scenarios\, artificial intelligence (AI) shows its potential in assessing 
 the problem-solving performance. Given that AI\, data-driven algorithms\, 
 could be helpful to address random signals (e.g.\, random fixations)\, usi
 ng AI to predict learning performance based on eye movements seems promisi
 ng. The aims to explorer the potential of an AI\, designed based on the lo
 ng-short-term memory neural structure\, to predict whether mathematics pro
 blems could be solved in a digital problem-solving scenario using eye move
 ments. Sixty-one students participated in this study. We examined whether 
 types of eye movement features (AOI-based vs. fixation-based features) and
  information (Separated vs. integrated steps) during solving problems coul
 d impact the performance of AI models. In additional\, the effects of two 
 hyper-parameters\, activations in hidden layers and number of neuros\, wer
 e examined. The results suggested that fixation-based features outperform 
 AOI-based features. Furthermore\, information in separated steps could pro
 vide higher accuracy than that in the integrated steps. Regarding the impa
 ct of hyper-parameters on AI performance\, the activation function ‘tanh
 ’ and thirty neurons in each layer could be used to train AI models with
  higher accuracy. The inconsistent between human and AI-based assessment w
 ere discussed and visualized.\n

 Abstract. The study of flocking motion has found widespread applications i

 >Iterated beta integrals</a>\nby Dr. Nobuo Sato (National Taiwan Universit

 guan S101.\n\nAbstract\nI will explain my recent work on iterated beta int
 egrals with Minoru Hirose at Nagoya University. Iterated beta integrals ar
 e a type of iterated integrals on branched universal abelian coverings of 
 the projective line\, which commonly generalize hyperlogarithms and beta i
 ntegrals. In addition to the properties that generalize those of hyperloga
 rithms and beta integrals\, iterated beta integrals enjoy a new property t
 hat we call translation invariance. The translation invariance yields equa
 lities between iterated integrals on translation-equivalent coverings of t
 he projective line\, and especially for genus-zero pair of translation-equ
 ivalent coverings\, it yields non-trivial equalities between special value
 s of hyperlogarithms. Such equalities include the famous 2-3-2 formula for
  multiple zeta values proved by Zagier\, its analog for multiple t-values\
 , the 2-1 formula for multiple zeta star values\, and various other formul
 as of a similar kind. By classifying all genus-zero pairs\, some new inter
 esting cases popped up\, one of which resolves a conjecture by Charlton co
 ncerning the area of a family of Lawson surfaces.\n
