Session on Design Theory and Graph Decompositions at the 2022 Summer Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society
Combinatorial design theory has a history dating back to the 18th century when Leonhard Euler pondered the existence of orthogonal pairs of Latin squares. This session will showcase recent results in topics such as classical designs, cycle systems, graph decompositions, Latin squares and other aspects of design theory by bringing together leading and emerging researchers in the field to share their recent results, techniques, and applications.

Gündoğdu & Candansayar, 2018, Three-dimensional regularized inversion of DC resistivity data with different stabilizing functionals. Also available on the author's ResearchGate page: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326068036_Three-dimensional_regularized_inversion_of_DC_resistivity_data_with_different_stabilizing_functionals This paper compares several regularization functionals that have appeared in geophysical inversion literature. It can provide an overview for us before perhaps looking at some others in more detail, if needed. Friday, June 10, 2022 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm (Atlantic time)

This conference will celebrate Doug Stinson’s 66th birthday and highlight his contributions to the fields of designs, codes, cryptography, and their connections. The goal is to explore recent developments, open problems and conjectures in combinatorial design theory along with applications to related areas including codes, cryptography, networks, and algorithms. We intend to bring together leading researchers from around the world, along with graduate students, postdocs and other early-career researchers. The conference will consist of invited talks only and will provide…

Farquharson & Oldenburg, 2004, A comparison of automatic techniques for estimating the regularization parameter in non-linear inverse problems. Also available here: https://gif.eos.ubc.ca/sites/default/files/Farquharson_regparam_04.pdf This paper compares some common approaches for choosing the value of the regularization parameter in underdetermined, minimum-structure-type inverse problems. It can provide an overview for us before looking at more recent ideas. Friday, June 24, 2022 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm (Atlantic time)

Junior Math and Computer Science Camp
This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grades 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of math and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the science skills of young students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of positively…

The Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (CUMC) is a national conference organized each summer by undergraduate students for undergraduate students at different institutions across Canada. The CUMC is an opportunity for students to explore mathematics outside their usual surroundings and spark their interest in areas they have not yet been exposed to. Indeed, the core of the gathering consists of a series of talks given by participants. The conference therefore provides a unique chance for students to present what they find…

Friday, July 15, 2022 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm (Atlantic time) Bijani et al., 2017, Physical-property-, lithology- and surface-geometry-based joint inversion using Pareto Multi-Objective Global Optimization. If you are unable to access the paper through that link, please email the organizer (and co-author on the paper) for a copy (plelievre@mta.ca). This paper introduces the concept of multi-objective optimization and Pareto-optimality. In this work, instead of attempting to select a single value for the regularization parameter, the methods sample the entire…

Lelièvre et al., 2012, Joint inversion of seismic traveltimes and gravity data on unstructured grids with application to mineral exploration. https://library.seg.org/doi/10.1190/geo2011-0154.1 If you are unable to access the paper through that link, please email the organizer (and co-author on the paper) for a copy (plelievre@mta.ca). This paper looks at various different methods to enforce the similarity of the different models in a joint inversion. This paper will help us discuss previous themes in relation to joint inversion, including the deterioration of…
