Thesis Defense - Billiard Markov Operators and Second-Order Differential Operators

Jasmine Ng Department of Mathematics, Washington University in St. Louis

April 20, 2012 - 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm
Location: Cupples I, Room 199 | Host: Prof. Renato Feres

Abstract: We will consider a class of Markov operators that arise from billiard dynamical systems. In addition to discussing results about their convergence to second-order differential operators, we will approximate the spectrum of one in terms of the other.
