3rd WORKSHOP MAPTHE, with the collaboration of TU/e: Future developments

We present the third edition of the MAPTHE workshop, this time in collaboration with TU/e through Professor Aida Abiad. In this edition, we aim to define future research lines that our group will develop in collaboration with European researchers as well as members of the ALAMA Network. We will focus on studying parameters related to random walks in networks, such as the Mean First Passage Time (MFPT) and Kemeny’s constant. The techniques employed will involve spectral theory and elements of discrete potential theory, with a numerical approach.

DESCRIPTION: The MAPTHE Workshop is designed as a meeting point for group members and members of the ALAMA thematic network (Linear Algebra, Matrix Analysis, and Applications). In these meetings, we share the latest advances and define future directions in line with the objectives of the funded projects that MAPTHE is part of. We will also promote collaborations with other researchers participating in the meetings.
