Join via Zoom:

https://us05web.zoom.us/j/89621193605?pwd=LkJUYjDVdFD9qQlawJpIrnQLu11SkQ.1

Meeting ID: 896 2119 3605 | Passcode: 2ICmJQ

Title: Mathematical Optimization of a Particular Pairwise Interaction

Abstract: In this talk, the mathematical formulation of a pairwise interaction problem will be introduced and its significance in various fields, including physics and biology, will be highlighted. Variational calculus will then be employed to derive equilibrium solutions for the defined energy functional, with insights into their stability and structural properties offered. The challenges associated with solving such problems, particularly in non-convex settings where finding global minima is computationally demanding, will also be discussed. To address these challenges, the convex relaxation method will be explored, which reformulates the original non-convex problem into a more tractable convex form, enabling the efficient application of optimization techniques. Finally, the results will be presented, and their implications will be discussed.

Big Red Read aims to bring more WKU students into the Warren County Public Library. Uncovering their vast and helpful resources while providing an environment outside of campus to recharge.

Nancy Green became one of the first prosperous African American women in the U.S. Green was born enslaved in Montgomery County, Kentucky, in 1834. While in Kentucky she worked for the Walker family and moved with them to Chicago just after the Great Fire, in 1872. Eight years later, Nancy Green became "Aunt Jemima." Businessman R.T. Davis had purchased a pre-mixed, self-rising recipe for pancakes and wanted an "Aunt Jemima," a character from minstrel shows which were popular at the time, to be the face of his pancakes. "Aunt Jemima" would be a friendly, animated, African American cook who served a wealthy white family. Playing the role of "Aunt Jemima" gave Green financial independence few African Americans and few women experienced at the time. She used her wealth as a means to empower her community. She was particularly active in her church, leading missionary trips, investing in anti-poverty programs for African Americans, and advocating for equal rights. Though her work depended on a derogatory racial stereotype, her financial success demonstrates how black Americans could sometimes play on and use such images to their advantage.
