The well-known uniformization theorem shows that a closed surface of genus-zero is equivalently conformal to a unit sphere. However, the numerical method and its convergence should be addressed. We will propose efficient algorithms on conformal energy minimization (CEM), stretch energy minimization (SEM) and volume stretch energy minimization (VSEM) for finding the conformal (angle-preserving) and equiareal (area-preserving) parametrizations, respectively, between a simply connected closed surface and a sphere, as well as, the volume-preserving parametrization between a 3-manifold with a genus-zero boundary and a unit ball. Based on the SEM and VSEM algorithms we further develop the reliable and robust algorithms for solving the optimal mass transportation (OMT) between an irregular 3D domain and a unit ball, while minimizing the deformation cost, and keeping the minimal distortion and the local mass ratios unchanged. Combining the proposed OMT with the U-net machine learning algorithm, we develop a novel two-phase OMT algorithm successfully applying for the detection and segmentation of 3D brain tumors with high training and validation Dice scores. For training, good Dice scores: 0.9538 for the WT (whole tumor), 0.9546 for the TC (tumor core) and 0.9093 for the ET (enhanced tumor) can be obtained. For validation, the Dice scores of WT, TC and ET with mesh refinement and ensemble voting postprocessing can reach 0.9371, 0.9062 and 0.8747. A significant accuracy improvement in brain tumor detection and segmentation is achieved. Furthermore, It takes within 200 seconds to complete the whole brain tumor segmentation process for each new brain sample.

Analysis Seminar, Duke University 吳浩榳教授 Tuesday, May 24, 11:10—12:00 數學系3F會議室 Title: A Novel Spatiotemporal Analysis Based on Kernel Fusion and Multiresolution Analysis Abstract:I will discuss a new spatiotemporal analysis algorithm based on kernel fusion and multiresolution analysis. The key ingredient is the kernel based sensor fusion algorithm that captures the "common" and "different" information shared by two consecutive time points. Some preliminary theoretical analyses will be provided, and some numerical results will be discussed. If time permits, its application to body area networks datasets will be demonstrated.

Colloquium, 國立陽明交通大學應用數學系 吳昌鴻教授線上專題演講 Thursday, May 26, 16:10—17:00 數學系3174 Title: Some Spreading Properties of Two-Species Lotka-Volterra Competition-Diffusion Systems Abstract:The Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system is a classical model to describe the interaction between competing species. For the two species case, it is well known that traveling waves solutions exist and these waves can be used to determine the spreading behaviors of species. In this talk, we shall present some recent progress on the spreading properties of this system with two different settings: the first one is the Cauchy problem with two different situations: either one species is an invasive one, and the other is a native one, or both are invasive species; the second is the free boundary problem, with both being invasive species.
