Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Title

Stochastic Modeling with Networks

Speaker

Abstract

Note: This seminar is primarily hosted by the Mathematics Department.

Many physical and intangible structures, from the internet to who dates whom in a high school, can be abstracted as networks. With the goal of understanding the various processes that take place on these structures, such as the spread of a virus or the cultivation of an idea, we study stochastic models on complex networks. I will discuss a few of these models, and outline some directions for future discovery.
