They will be exploited (together with some much simpler toy examples) to demonstrate the new methodologies and the stochastic modellin g. In fact\, most of the methodologies and models were originally designe d for the application\, and only afterwards developed as generic tools.\n\ nI shall assume that the listeners know what a persistence diagram is\, bu t no other prerequisites are required.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/APATG/9/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
