Minimization-based sampling from the posterior distribution for inverse problems with Gaussian prior distributions
Dean S. Oliver, Uni Centre for Integrated Petroleum Research, Bergen, Norway 2.09.0.1410:15-11:45

more ›Phase transition in mean-field games: An application to synchronization of coupled oscillators
Prashant Mehta, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA 2.09.014Begin: 14:00
This talk is concerned with phase transition and self-organization in mean-field games.
The motivation comes from the following sequence of events…

more ›On the use of the particle filter for geomechanical parameter estimation when monitoring subsidence due to hydrocarbon extraction
Femke Vossepoel, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands 2.28.0.10410:15-11:15
Fluid extraction from a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir results in compaction of the reservoir, in particular cases leading to subsidence and induced…
more ›A class of nonlinear filters induced by local couplings
Alessio Spantini, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA 2.28.0.10410:15-11:15
