Chun-Hsiung Hsia (National Taiwan University)
The mathematical analysis of the kinetic theory (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The existence theory and the regularity theory are two important issues in the study of PDE problems. To establish the existence theory, one can resort to:
(1)the compactness of the solution operator to apply fixed point arguments or contraction mapping arguments
(2)the existence theory by functional analysis, for example: the Fredholm alternative, the method of continuity, semigroup theory, .. etc.
The regularity theory seems to be the next issue after one obtains the existence theory. In fact, the regularity can help to establish the compactness of solution operators, and therefore helps to establish the existence theory. In this course, we have shall reveal the aforementioned theory and apply this framework to investigate the Boltzmann equations.

Total Variation Methods for Denoising and Inpainting Crystallographic Orientation Maps (English)
[ Abstract ]
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) provides spatial maps of crystal orientations in polycrystalline materials. These measurements often contain noise and missing data, complicating the identification of grains and their boundaries. In this talk, I will introduce the mathematical challenges of restoring orientation maps and present our work on total variation methods for denoising and hybrid methods for filling missing regions. Particular attention will be given to preserving grain boundaries while recovering useful microstructural information. I will also discuss ongoing work on using shape tensors and statistical comparisons of grain geometry to guide stopping criteria for denoising flows. The presentation will emphasize connections between variational methods, geometric representations, and materials imaging.
