The UCF [Mathematics Colloquium](https://sciences.ucf.edu/math/colloquium/), held every Monday from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in MSB 318, offers a diverse platform for research scholars, faculty, students, and industry experts to share and exchange ideas, fostering discussion and networking across various areas of mathematics.Xinyue Zhao, from University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will speak at this week's colloquium on neural-network-based methods for solving free boundary problems.Abstract: Free boundary problems (the time-dependent versions are also often known as moving boundary problems) deal with systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) where the domain boundary is apriori unknown. Due to this special characteristic, it is challenging to solve free boundary problem numerically, and most studies in this field lack convergence proofs for the numerical methods. In this talk, I will present novel approaches based on neural networks to study two types of free boundary problems: 1) the classical obstacle problem, and 2) a modified Hele-Shaw problem. For each method we proposed, we established the convergence of the scheme and theoretically derived the convergence rate with the number of neurons. Several simulation examples are used to demonstrate the feasibility and capability of the proposed methods.

This class will be delivered by one of the Florida APEX Accelerator Consultants at UCF. The Florida APEX Accelerator provides no cost government contracting consulting to small businesses.This event is sponsored by the Florida SBDC at UCF.This is not an introduction to government contracting for the 'faint of heart'. This is a 2.5 to 3 hour training session designed to help two groups of business: (1) those just exploring or brand new to government contracting and (2) those down the path a bit looking to backfill some gaps. You can join late or leave early and still learn something about government contracting but those that stick around for the whole program will receive a practical, frank, overview of the government contracting process. This webinar covers the following areas:* Introduction to the Government Contracting Process * Components of a "GIB Ready" Business * Suggestions for an Initial Marketing Tool Kit * Reactive Business Development Strategies * Proactive Business Development Strategies * Introduction to the SBA's Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database * Potential Next StepsIn addition to the instruction, attendees will have the opportunity to receive handouts that are practical tools in helping develop your government contracting programs. The handouts will also include the slide deck of the presentation which will include a number of live links to research resources, registration sites, and certification programs.Virtual Location URL: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/6g3Q8Wa7/government-contracting-overview-5a1eVO66kvx/overview Registration Link: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/6g3Q8Wa7/government-contracting-overview-5a1eVO66kvx/overview
