Osher, Chair In this dissertation, we provide efficient algorithms for modeling the behavior of a single agent, multiple agents, and a continuum of agents. For a single agent, we combine the modeling framework of optimal control with advances in optimization splitting in order to efficiently find optimal paths for problems in very high-dimensions, thus providing allevia- tion from the curse of dimensionality. For a multiple, but finite, number of agents, we take the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning and utilize imitation learning in order to decentralize a centralized expert, thus obtaining optimal multi-agents that act in a de- centralized fashion. For a continuum of agents, we take the framework of mean-field games and use two neural networks, which we train in an alternating scheme, in order to efficiently find optimal paths for high-dimensional and stochastic problems.
  • A Tribute to Dick Askey

    A Tribute to Dick Askey

    A tribute to Dick Askey Tom Koornwinder,∗ Walter Van Asschey and Ole Warnaarz February 2015 (last minor corrections 14 May 2015) Richard A. (Dick) Askey1 was born June 4, 1933 in St. Louis, Missouri. He received his PhD at Princeton University in 1961 under the direction of Salomon Bochner. After instructorships at Washington University and the University of Chicago he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1963, where he became full professor in 1968. Since 2003 he is Professor Emeritus at that same institution. Dick received many awards and distinctions during the course of his mathematical career. He was elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1993 and of the National Academy of Sciences in 1999. Furthermore, he is a Honorary Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of SIAM and of the American Mathematical Society. In 1983 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Warszawa. In 2012 he received an hon- orary doctorate from SASTRA University in Kumbakonam, India. Dick Askey's research interests are Special Functions and Orthogonal Polynomials, and more generally Classical Analysis. His works often touch upon aspects of approximation theory, har- monic analysis, number theory, combinatorics and probability theory. He published2 140 research articles in journals, conference proceedings and edited books. His most frequent coauthors are George Gasper, Mourad Ismail and Stephen Wainger. Dick's research publications include two AMS Memoirs: one written with Mourad Ismail in 1984 [7], and one with James Wilson in 1985 [8] on the Askey-Wilson polynomials, probably his most influential publication.
  • AN INTEGRAL of PRODUCTS of ULTRASPHERICAL FUNCTIONS and a Q-EXTENSION

    AN INTEGRAL of PRODUCTS of ULTRASPHERICAL FUNCTIONS and a Q-EXTENSION

    AN INTEGRAL OF PRODUCTS OF ULTRASPHERICAL FUNCTIONS AND A q-EXTENSION RICHARD ASKEY, TOM H. KOORNWINDER AND MIZAN RAHMAN ABSTRACT Let Pn(x) and Qn(x) denote the Legendre polynomial of degree n and the usual second solution to the differential equation, respectively. Din showed that J1__ 1 Qn(x) Pm(x) P1(x) dx vanishes when 11-m I < n < l+m, and Askey evaluated the integral for arbitrary integral values of l, m and n. We extend this to the evaluation of J1__ 1 D~(x) Ci,(x) Cf(x) (l -x2) 2•- 1 dx, where C~(x) is the ultraspherical polynomial and D~(x) is the appropriate second solution to the ultraspherical differential equation. A q-extension is found using the continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials of Rogers. Again the integral vanishes when I l-m I < n < l + m. It is shown that this vanishing phenomenon holds for quite general orthogonal polynomials. A related integral of the product of three Bessel functions is also evaluated. 1. Introduction Legendre polynomials Pn are orthogonal polynomials of degree non (-1, I) with constant weight function and with normalization Pn(l) = 1. Corresponding Legendre functions of the second kind Qn are defined on the cut (-1, I) by the principal value integral Qn(X) = ~ L1x11 p ~t; dt, -1 < x < 1, (1.1) cf. [26, (4.9.12) and (4.62.9)]. In a very surprising paper Din [9] showed that [ (x)dx = (l.2) 1 Qn(x)Pm(x)P1 0 when I l-m I< n < l+m. Part of the surprise was the vanishing and part was the fact that such an attractive result did not seem to have been found before.

    Know Your Wisconsin Mathematician Interview with Professor Richard Askey, UW-Madison, by J. Sriskandarajah, MATC This is our sixth interview in this series. Professor Askey retired recently after a very successful career at the UW-Madison, Department of Mathematics (1963-2003). To learn more about his accomplishments, please visit: http://www.math.wisc.edu/~askey/ Q. Tell us something about your education, starting with elementary school. A. Here is one story from grade school. I was in third grade, which was on the first floor, and walked by the room on the second floor in which math was taught to fifth and sixth grade students. I saw a symbol I did not know so asked my teacher what it was. We had done addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but not square roots. She explained it was the symbol for taking a square root, explained what square roots were and how to calculate them. Later when I was in fifth and sixth grades, the teacher who taught math to all of the fifth and sixth grade students was still teaching. She and all of the teachers I had in grade school were good. This was in a suburb just outside of the St. Louis City line. It was a neighborhood with some professionals and some manual workers. Two doors one direction was an electrical engineer who worked for the telephone company and on the other side was a bus driver. We lived in a small six room house, with four children and our parents, with a grandmother living with us when there were only three children.

We received a no-cost extension to allow us to spend unused funds after August 31, 2015. We estimate that about a third of our activities in 2015-16 were supported by the remaining funds from this grant; therefore we are including the first four months (through Dec. 31, 2015) of the 2015-16 year in this report. This report, then, covers IPAM’s activities taking place between Sept. 1, 2014, and December 31, 2015 (which we will refer to in this report as the reporting period). IPAM held three long programs during the reporting period. Each long program included tutorials, several workshops, and a culminating retreat. Between workshops, the participants planned a series of talks and focus groups.

In large part, this vibrant community owes a lot to many of the past officer bearers, without whose hard work, this Society would not be as strong as it is today. For the current health of our Society, I wish to thank my predecessors, and in particular, my immediate predecessor Sanjay Mehrotra under whose leadership, we gathered the momentum for our conferences, a possible new journal, and several other initiatives.
