Title: Exhaustive search with stochastic resetting
Abstract: Cover times quantify the speed of exhaustive search. In this talk we will review pre-existing results on cover time theory. We will then consider cover times of stochastic searchers undergoing stochastic resetting, a mechanism which can reduce mean search times, hence whose utility spans biology and other sciences. Computing these cover time statistics exactly is intractable in complicated domains. By considering the frequent resetting limit, we will approximate cover time moments on arbitrary discrete networks and in d-dimensional continuous space. These approximations apply to a large class of resetting time distributions and search processes including diffusion and Markov jump processes.
The Midwest Mathematical Biology Seminar will be a series of virtual talks on mathematical biology featuring speakers from the Midwest region and beyond. All areas of mathematical biology will be represented in the seminar series, and a goal for this seminar is to build connections and foster research collaborations.
