For appropriate parameter settings, we show global convergence of the LMC to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We find the invariant distribution of the LMC in terms of the degenerated hypergeometric functions. We also analyze first passage times from the equilibrium point of the LMC.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\nMarco Scipioni, UNC Charlotte, Department of Physics<\/p>\n<p><i>Title: Introduction to Compressive Sampling<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/math.uncc.edu\/~mgrabcha\/\">Michael Grabchak<\/a>, UNC Charlotte<\/p>\n<p><i>Title: Limit Theorems and Phase Transitions For Sums of Random Variables with a Parameter<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/math.uncc.edu\/node\/68\">Alexander Gordon<\/a>, UNC Charlotte<\/p>\n<p><i>Title: The all-or-nothing theorem in multiple hypothesis testing<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/math.uncc.edu\/node\/68\">Alexander Gordon<\/a>, UNC Charlotte<\/p>\n<p><i>Title: The all-or-nothing theorem in multiple hypothesis testing (Part 2)<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/math.uncc.edu\/node\/68\">Alexander Gordon<\/a>, UNC Charlotte<\/p>\n<p><i>Title: The all-or-nothing theorem in multiple hypothesis testing (Part 3)<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/math.uncc.edu\/~imsonin\/\">Isaac Sonin<\/a>, UNC Charlotte<\/p>\n<p><i>Title: Insertion &#8211; A new operation for Markov chains<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room)<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/math.uncc.edu\/node\/91\">Joseph Quinn<\/a>, UNC Charlotte<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, September 5, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room) Stanislav Molchanov, UNC Charlotte Title: Models of Population Dynamics Wednesday, September 16, 2012 at 3:45PM in Fretwell 379 (Math Conference Room) Joseph Whitmeyer, UNC Charlotte Title: A Mean-Field Approximation of the Bolker-Pacala Model Abstract: We analyze the Bolker-Pacala population model from biology with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-106","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107,"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106\/revisions\/107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/probability-seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
