Scalar conservation laws in one space dimension with strict convex flux
2022-04-25 15:45 - 17:45 (Asia/Kolkata)
The Department of Mathematics is arranging the fifth instalment of the Departmental Distinguished Lecture Series on April 25, 2022, at 3.45 pm IST. Reputed Mathematician, Prof A Adimurthi will deliver an informative lecture on the topic ‘Controllability of Scalar Conservation Laws with Discontinuous Flux’.
About the Talk
Navier-Stokes and Euler equations play an important role in studying the flow of incompressible fluids. Weak solutions to these equations can be obtained by Galerkin method but the uniqueness is a big open problem. It is a big challenge to obtain an extra condition for the class of functions, so that in this class obtain the existence and uniqueness. To understand this phenomenon, it is better to look at a one-dimensional case where the equation turns out to be viscous Burger’s equation or Burger’s equation with non-linearity is of quadratic order. In this talk, we will restrict to Burger’s type equations called the Scalar Conservation Laws in one space dimension with strict convex flux. Way back in the 50’s, this equation was studied by Lax and Oleinik and obtained an explicit formula for a solution. Oleinik showed that this satisfies an extraction called the Entropy Condition and then showed that in this class, the solution is unique. Later Kruzkov, in an ingenious way, generalized this to obtain a unique solution for Scalar Conservation Law in higher dimensions and Lipschitz fluxes. This result was taken up by Zuazua and his collaborators and studied the Optimal Controllability for Burgers equation. They showed the existence of optimal control and to capture this, they derived a numerical algorithm whose convergence is still open. In a different direction, this was attacked, and the problem was completely solved. Getting the optimal solution is via projection method in a Hilbert space. Recently, this was extended in a non-trivial way to conservation laws with convex discontinuous flux. The talk will explain the main ideas of this work.

Demystifying the essence of yoga
2022-04-28 15:45 - 17:45
“Yoga is the practice of tolerating the consequences of being yourself” – Bhagavad Gita
Have you ever tried to demystify the meaning of yoga? Yoga, sometimes undefinable, is a multifaceted term having several layers of meaning embedded into it. For some, it’s a form of exercise. For some others, yoga is a religion or a philosophy. And you may have also come across the perception deduced by many that yoga is just a way of life. So, what exactly is yoga? How do you give it an all-encompassing definition?
The term yoga literally means “union”. It is the coming together of body, mind, emotions, and energy to render you the complete experience of being you. It takes one on the transcendental journey to explore one’s true self. It also anchors as an ultimate solution to all the sufferings and woes that weigh you down.
The Department of Student Affairs is hosting a series of events marking the arrival of International Yoga Day, 2022. As part of the series, a yoga session has been organised to walk our students through the enchanting exercise of knowing thyself.
Date: April 28, 2022
Time: 3.35 pm
Venue: New Academic Block- S207
We invite all our students to take this infant stride into a bigger journey of discovering the inner self.

Density Dependent Behavior at Habitat Boundaries and the Allee Effect via Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Equation
2022-05-09 00:00
Abstract: Habitat edges can have a number of effects on populations, including modifying their patterns of dispersal. Dispersal patterns can influence population dynamics. In this talk, we will explore the possible effects of a pattern of dispersal where the response of organisms to the boundary of a habitat patch depends on their local density. This talk will discuss some mathematical models for the population growth of organisms having diffusing and nonlinear per capita growth inside a patch, but with the likelihood of an individual crossing the patch boundary to leave the patch decreases as the local density of conspecifics within the patch increases. Such behaviour at patch boundaries has been observed among Glanville fritillary butterflies and has been proposed as a mechanism for generating an Allee effect at the patch level. These models predict that the behavior can indeed induce an Allee effect at the patch level even though there is no such effect built into the local population dynamics inside the patch. Also, we will discuss how per capita growth and boundary behaviours impact the Allee effects. The models are relatively simple and are not intended to give a complete description of any particular population but only to verify the idea that the mechanism of density-dependent dispersal behaviour at a patch boundary is capable of altering population dynamics within the patch.

Igniting the innovative spirit
2022-05-10 17:30 - 18:30
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible”- Arthur C Clarke
The indomitable spirit to give birth to the impossible is the magical force that keeps changing the face of the world. Every innovation, be it in the field of technology, medicine, or entrepreneurship, has paved the way for colossal changes simplifying life on earth. The sheer ability to think and innovate is what made human beings the ruling power. All the amenities and services that we revel in today would not have come into existence without the power to innovate.
As the world is surging ahead with far-reaching developments at an unimaginable pace, there is no question about equipping society to embrace these changes and equally be an unflinching source instigating such changes. Learning in the present era is beyond the ability to read, write and pass with flying colours. True learning does not take place without igniting the spark of creativity hidden inside every individual. The Entrepreneurship Cell has scheduled the launch of their latest endeavour “Innovation Square” to put on show the unrelenting power of innovation of our students.

Lie groups as a unifying theme in mathematics: from Algebra and Number theory to Geometry and Topology.
2022-05-11 00:00 - 2022-09-21 00:00
Abstract:Groups are encountered early on in one’s education. Many groups that one learns already in undergraduate studies are in fact matrix groups with coefficients which can be numbers from finite fields to real and complex numbers or these days p-adic numbers. Such groups, called finite groups of Lie type or real Lie groups or p-adic groups as the case may be, have been playing a dominant role in many parts of mathematics. The lecture will be a gentle introduction to some of these topics.

Classical concert on Annamacharya Sankeertanas
2022-06-08 16:00 - 17:00
Tallapaka Annamacharya, popularly known as ‘Anamayya’, was a 15th-century saint and the earliest known Indian musician to compose songs called sankeertanas in praise of Lord Venkateswara. His compositions have strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic Music and are still making rounds in various music concerts and performances the world over.
Having composed countless odes to Sri Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy, Annamacharya is widely regarded as the Pada Kavitaa Pitamaha of Telugu poetry. He was a reputed singer and an eminent poet who gave life to the Telugu song and lyricism by blending the Telugu ‘Andhra Vedam’ for the easy understanding of the common man, with the summary of ‘Sanskrit Vedas’.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, also known as TTD, are on an endeavour to preserve the rich heritage of his compositions. They have set music to over 800 compositions of Annamacharya that have amassed wide popularity among the devotees. We are delighted to announce that the following TTD musicians will be offering a beautiful rendition of Annamacharya’s compositions at our university campus:
Mr M B Loganatha Reddy (Singer)

The key to a successful job interview
2022-06-18 17:00 - 18:00
Facing an interview is a nightmare for many. There may be multiple factors lowering your level of confidence. Your depth of knowledge, ability to communicate, body language, dressing style, and an endless list of reasons could affect you in being yourself during an interview. While most of us are highly qualified academically, many are still groping in the dark to present ourselves as professionally qualified. And the sad fact is that, it is your professional persona that wins you a better chance of clearing the interview than your academic qualifications.
