In this talk, we give the lowest order $P_1$-nonconforming triangular finite element method (FEM) for the elliptic and parabolic interface problems. Under some reasonable regularity assumptions on the exact solutions, the optimal order error estimates are obtained in the broken energy norm and $L^2$ norm, respectively. Lastly, some numerical results are provided to verify the theoretical analysis.

We propose a new splitting algorithm to solve a class of semilinear parabolic PDEs with convex and quadratic growth gradients. By splitting the original equation into a linear parabolic equation and a Hamilton - Jacobi equation, we are able to solve both equations explicitly. In particular, we solve the associated Hamilton-Jacobi equation by the Hopf - Lax formula, and interpret the splitting algorithm as a Hopf-Lax splitting approximation of the semilinear parabolic PDE. We prove that the solution of the splitting scheme will converge to the viscosity solution of the equation, obtaining its convergence rate via Krylov's shaking coefficients technique and Barles-Jakobsen's optimal switching approximation.

We will talk about the polar Orlicz-Minkowski problems: under what conditions on a nonzero finite measure and a continuous function there exists a convex body such that is an optimizer of the following optimization problems: .The solvability of the polar Orlicz-Minkowski problems is discussed under different conditions. In particular, under certain conditions on , the existence of a solution is proved for a nonzero finite measure on unit sphere which is not concentrated on any hemisphere of . Another part of this paper deals with the p-capacitary Orlicz-Petty bodies.

In this talk, we will introduce the a priori method applied to the existence theory of elliptic PDEs in R^n and S^n. There are some open problems in this subject, especially for the degenerate elliptic PDEs. At last, we prove the existence theorem of the non-symmetric solutions of the homogeneous Lp dual Minkowski problem, which is a joint work with Yong Huang and Lu Xu

We study testing high-dimensional covariance matrices under a generalized elliptical model. The model accommodates several stylized facts of real data, including heteroskedasticity, heavy-tailedness, asymmetry, etc. We consider the high-dimensional setting where the dimension p and the sample size n grow to infinity proportionally, and establish a central limit theorem for the linear spectral statistic of the sample covariance matrix based on self-normalized observations. The central limit theorem is different from the existing ones for the linear spectral statistic of the usual sample covariance matrix.

A class of staged-progression models with multiple age of infection structures and/or age of latency structures, are formulated to describe infectious disease progression with long latency and/or infectious period. Typical diseases include HIV and latent Tuberculosis. Global properties of these stage-age-structured models are fully analyzed using the Volterra-type Lyapunov functionals. I will also review recent progress and some research questions in these areas.

We present a systematically introduction to the Frozen Gaussian Approximation (FGA) for high-frequency seismic tomography in 3-D earth models. In the frozen Gaussian approximation (FGA) we approximate the seismic wavefield by a summation of frozen (fixed-width) Gaussian wave-packets propagating along ray paths. One can use a relatively small number of Gaussians to get accurate approximations of the high-frequency wavefield. Meanwhile, FGA algorithm can be perfectly parallelized, which speeds up the computation drastically with a high-performance computing station. In order to apply FGA to the computation of 3-D high-frequency seismic tomography, first we reformulate the FGA so that one can efficiently compute the Green's functions
