Abstract: 
Local entropy for finite time dynamics (by  Hoang Duc Luu)

Abstract: This talk aims to introduce a concept of entropy for difference and differential equations which is a local-in-space and transient-in-time version of the classical concept of metric entropy. Based on that, a finite-time version of Pesin’s entropy formula arederived. I would also discuss about how to apply the finite-time entropy field to detect special dynamical behavior such as Lagrangian coherent structures, and how to relate the topic to information geometry.

On the behavior of the Diaconis-Freedman chain in a multi-dimensional simplex (by Tat Dat Tran)

Abstract: In this talk, I consider the asymptotic behavior of a Diaconis-Freedman chain in a multi-dimensional simplex from the point of view of the iterated function systems. I first give out some sufficient conditions to have a unique invariant probability measure. I then give out explicit formulas of invariant probability density in some special cases. Finally, I illustrate a completely classify of all behaviors of this chain in two dimensional. This is the joint work with Juergen Jost and Marc Peigne.
