• Preconditioning of Block Tridiagonal Matrices 

      [OWP-2008-05] Axelsson, Owe; Karatson, Janos (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-09)
      Preconditioning methods via approximate block factorization for block tridiagonal matrices are studied. Bounds for the resulting condition numbers are given, and two methods for the recursive construction of the approximate ...
    • Quantities that frequency-dependent selection maximizes 

      [OWP-2008-18] Matessi, Carlo; Schneider, Kristian (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-18)
      We consider a model of frequency-dependent selection, to which we refer as the Wildcard Model, that accommodates as particular cases a number of diverse models of biologically specific situations. Two very different ...
    • Stratifying modular representations of finite groups 

      [OWP-2008-20] Benson, David J.; Iyengar, Srikanth B.; Krause, Henning (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-20)
      We classify localising subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group that are closed under tensor product with simple (or, equivalently all) modules. One application is a proof of the telescope conjecture ...
    • Upper tails for intersection local times of random walks in supercritical dimensions 

      [OWP-2008-02] Chen, Xia; Mörters, Peter (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-06)
      We determine the precise asymptotics of the logarithmic upper tail probability of the total intersection local time of $p$ independent random walks in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ under the assumption $p(d-2)>d$. Our approach allows a ...
    • Urn Models & Operator Ordering Procedures 

      [OWP-2008-06] Blasiak, Pawel (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-10)
      Ordering of operators is purely combinatorial task involving a number of commutators shuffling components of operator expression to desired form. Here we show how it can be illustrated by simple urn models in which normal ...
    • Weyl-Titchmarsh Functions of Vector-Valued Sturm-Liouville Operators on the Unit Interval 

      [OWP-2008-13] Chelkak, Dmitry; Korotyaev, Evgeny (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008)
      The matrix-valued Weyl-Titchmarsh functions $M(\lambda)$ of vector-valued Sturm-Liouville operators on the unit interval with the Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered. The collection of the eigenvalues (i.e., poles ...
