Venue: Probabilities of all real zeros for random polynomials

Speaker: Wenbo V. LI （University of Delaware, US, and Institute of Applied Mathematics, CAS；IMS Fellow.）

Time: 12 January 2012,15:00-16:00

Location: Room 201, Sir Run Run Shaw Business Adminisration Building, Yuquan Campus

Abstract:

There is a long history on the study of zeros of random polynomials whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, non-degenerate random variables. We will first provide an overview on zeros of random functions and then show exact and/or asymptotic bounds on probabilities that all zeros of a random polynomial are real under various distributions. The talk is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in any areas of mathematics.
