Applied Math Graduate Student Seminars

 

Speaker: Tim Reluga, Applied Mathematics

Title:

A Model for the Evolution of Selfish Herd Behavior and Speculation on its Generalization.

Date: Thursday, April 10, 2002

Time: 2:30 - 3:20pm

Place: Guggenheim Room AMATH Library


Abstract. I'll be summarizing some recent work I've done with Steve Viscido on the evolution of behavior in the presence of predation, discuss the shortcomings of this work, and do a lot of speculating on how to construct a constraint-free approach to the evolution of behavior. Topics cellular automata, L-systems, markov processes, and montecarlo methods will be mentioned as possible paths forward.
