The 20th Northwest Probability Seminar: Stochastic Explosions in Branching Processes and Non-uniqueness for Nonlinear PDE

  • Radu Dascaliuc | Oregon State University

We will discuss stochastic processes, Le Jan-Sznitman cascades, that can be associated with certain nonlinear PDE and how explosion of these cascades can be exploited to prove non-uniques for the associated Cauchy problems. In particular, we are interested in using these techniques to explore uniqueness problems for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations.

This research is a collaboration with E. Thomann and E. Waymire.
