Monday 13th December 2021: 15.00 – 16.00
We are delighted to welcome Imre Leader, Professor of Pure Mathematics, University of Cambridge, to deliver a Heilbronn colloquium in person, at the University of Bristol.
Title: Pursuit and Evasion
Abstract: In Rado’s famous `lion and man’ problem, a man and a lion are in a circular arena. The lion wants to catch the man, and the man does not want to be caught by the lion. Each can run at the same speed. Who wins? We will start with some background on this kind of `continuous pursuit’ problem, and then move on to some more recent developments.
Following the latest Government announcement regarding the implementation of COVID-19 measures we have made the decision to host this colloquium as a Hybrid event with reduced in person attendance by invitation only. If you wish to attend via zoom please contact Heilbronn-coordinator@bristol.ac.uk
