Beamforming has long been a topic for physicists and signal processing researchers. By this talk, Tobas Dahl aims to open up the principles of beamforming for researchers with backgrounds from multiple quantitative disciplines; partial differential equations, statistics, machine learning and data analysis, chemometrics, psychometrics, cybernetics and others who feel they could understand the basics without taking on a (new) master's degree in physics or digital signal processing.

Title: Nonlinear Peridynamic Models

Abstract: Some materials may naturally form discontinuities such as cracks as a result of scale effects and long range interactions. Peridynamic models such behavior introducing a new nonlocal framework for the basic equations of continuum mechanics. In this lecture we consider a nonlinear peridynamic model and discuss its well-posedness in suitable fractional Sobolev spaces. Those results were obtained in collaboration with S. Dipierro (Milano), F. Maddalena (Bari) and E. Valdinoci (Milano).

Professor Massimo Fornasier, from the Technical University of Munich, is visiting the department /CMA. This is his second lecture.
