We study Banach-valued holomorphic functions defined on open subsets
of the maximal ideal space of the Banach algebra H of bounded holomorphic
functions on the unit disk D ⊂ C with pointwise multiplication and supremum
norm.

Discovery models have been used in industry to assess natural resource reserves. In this talk, I will introduce a discovery model in two ways, one discrete and one continuous, and discuss nonparametric and parametric fitting of this model

If the Euclidean 3-space is partitioned into convex cells each containing a unit ball, how should the shapes of the cells be designed to minimize the average surface area of the cells?

Water waves are among the richest and most challenging problems of classical mechanics. Beyond nonlinear effects an interesting property of the water wave equation is the dispersion.

In this talk I will discuss some of the key results toward the solution of
the Cauchy problem for these two systems. I will start with earlier work
leading up to recent contributions I have made in collaboration with R.
Illner and M. Agueh.
