Abstract: The last three years accumulated a great pile of information about the Probabilistic Evolution Approach (PEA) which is under construction in the Group for Science and Methods of Computing (Demiralp’s group) studies. Until now, the skeleton and the roof of the theory has been constructed and many details, as if muscles and other organs, have also been revealed. Now we know how to convert a given set of explcit first order ordinary differential equations accompanied by appropriate initial conditions to an infinite first order, linear, homogeneous set of ordinary differential equations with a denumerably infinite constant coefficient matrix; accompanied by a denumerably infinite initial vector value imposition. We could be able also to obtain Kronecker power series solution when the descriptive function (right hand side function) vector has a conical structure. Even we could have been able to get finitely many term involving analytic results for rather specific ODE structures. However we have never intended to perform a resummation over the Kronecker power series obtained in Probabilistic Evolution Approach applications even though the issue has been reduced to kernel separability where the telescope and monocular matrices are in use.
In this presentation first we focus on simplest first order explicit ordinary differential equation and its accompanying initial condition, where the right hand side function does not depend on the independent variable (time variable in the dynamical system terminology) of the considered ODE and has a second degree polynomial structure in the unknown function of the ODE under consideration. If there are certain commutativity relations exist in the descriptive function coefficient matrices then it is possible to produce a matrix algebraic analytic structure for the solution. To this end a very recently developed approach we have called “Constancy Added Space Extension (CASE) ” can be used. This extends the state space of the ODE from one dimension to two dimension and makes it possible to get pure quadraticity at the descriptive function. Then, by using certain very fruitful properties of the Kronecker products and powers, it becomes to generate an analytical solution if the coefficient matrix appearing in the quadratic structure of the descriptive function has certain symmetry conditions and also commutativity conditions. The presentation aims to focus on these issues as the time permits.

Brief Biography of the Speaker: Metin Demiralp was born in Türkiye (Turkey) on 4 May 1948. His education from elementary school to university was entirely in Turkey. He got his BS, MS degrees and PhD from the same institution, Ë™Istanbul Technical University. He was originally chemical engineer, however, through theoretical chemistry, applied mathematics, and computational science years he was mostly working on methodology for computational sciences and he is continuing to do so. He has a group (Group for Science and Methods of Computing) in Informatics Institute of Ë™Istanbul Technical University (he is the founder of this institute). He collaborated with the Prof. Herschel A. Rabitz’s group at Princeton University (NJ, USA) at summer and winter semester breaks during the period 1985-2003 after his 14 month long postdoctoral visit to the same group in 1979-1980. He was also (and still is) in collaboration with a neuroscience group at the Psychology Department in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbour in last three years (with certain publications in journals and proceedings).
Metin Demiralp has more than 100 papers in well known and prestigious scientific journals, and, more than 230 contributions together with various keynote, plenary, and, tutorial talks to the proceedings of various international conferences. He gave many invited talks in various prestigious scientific meetings and academic institutions. He has a good scientific reputation in his country and he was one of the principal members of Turkish Academy of Sciences since 1994. He has resigned on June 2012 because of the governmental decree changing the structure of the academy and putting politicial influence possibility by bringing a member assignation system. Metin Demiralp is also a member of European Mathematical Society. He has also two important awards of turkish scientific establishments.
The important recent foci in research areas of Metin Demiralp can be roughly listed as follows: Probabilistic Evolution Method in Explicit ODE Solutions and in Quantum and Liouville Mechanics, Fluctuation Expansions in Matrix Representations, High Dimensional Model Representations, Space Extension Methods, Data Processing via Multivariate Analytical Tools, Multivariate Numerical Integration via New Efficient Approaches, Matrix Decompositions, Multiway Array Decompositions, Enhanced Multivariate Product Representations, Quantum Optimal Control.
