Green Products
Date: 2026-06-03 10:00:00
Time: 10:00
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: TONG Joy
Category: Talk & Lecture
We use a novel text-based classification method to identify green trademarks that capture environmentally friendly products and services introduced to the market. Firms with more green products generate higher green revenues, emit less greenhouse gas, and receive higher environmental ratings. These firms also exhibit higher firm value, particularly when green products align with core businesses and prior experience and generate product synergies.

An energy- and helicity-conserving enriched Galerkin method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
Date: 2026-05-29 14:00:00
Time: 14:00
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: ZHANG Qian
Category: Talk & Lecture
In the ideal limit and in the absence of external forces, the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations preserve fundamental invariants, including kinetic energy and helicity. From a numerical perspective, failure to respect these invariants may reduce the physical reliability of long-time simulations of three-dimensional flows. However, numerical methods that simultaneously preserve kinetic energy and helicity remai

Zero variance portfolio
Date: 2026-06-15 16:30:00
Time: 16:30
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: SHI Zhentao
Category: Talk & Lecture
When the number of assets is larger than the sample size, the minimum variance portfolio interpolates the training data, delivering pathological zero in-sample variance. We show that if the weights of the zero variance portfolio are learned by a novel “Ridgelet” estimator, in a new test data this portfolio enjoys out-of-sample generalizability. It exhibits the double descent phenomenon and can achieve optimal ris

Efficient algorithms for a linear thermo-poroelastic model
Date: 2026-05-27 14:30:00
Time: 14:30
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: Mingchao Cai
Category: Talk & Lecture
Thermo-poroelastic models capture the interplay between elastic porous material deformation, fluid flow, and thermal effects under non-isothermal conditions. This talk presents a four-field formulation for the linear thermo-poroelastic model and introduces two novel algorithms. The first focuses on constructing parameter-robust preconditioners for the resulting linear system, proposing two approaches: one reo

Distributional finite element complexes and applications to partial differential equations
Date: 2026-05-28 16:00:00
Time: 16:00
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: HUANG Xuehai
Category: Talk & Lecture
In this talk, we begin with the development of distributional finite element complexes, including the distributional div div and curl div complexes. In the main part of the talk, we discuss applications of these complexes to partial differential equations, such as the biharmonic equation, fourth-order elliptic singular perturbation problems, quad-curl problems, and the Stokes equation. We also present a distributional formulation and a corresponding discretization for strain gradient elasticity.

On algorithmic stability and robustness of Bootstrap SGD
Date: 2026-05-21 15:00:00
Time: 15:00
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: Andreas Christmann
Category: Talk & Lecture
The bootstrap is a computer-based resampling method that can provide good approximations to the finite sample distribution of a given statistic. In this talk some methods to use the empirical bootstrap approach for stochastic gradient descent (SGD) to minimize the empirical risk over a Hilbert space are investigated from the view point of algorithmic stability and statistical robustness.

Time: 15:30
Venue: Zijingang Campus
Speaker: WU Shukun
Category: Talk & Lecture
The local smoothing conjecture for wave equations was raised by Sogge, initially aiming to understand Stein's spherical maximal function. Because of its close connection to the Fourier transform of the surface measure of the sphere, the local smoothing conjecture has become a central topic in harmonic analysis. I
