LMS Invited Lecturer 2011Emmanuel Candes, StanfordMarch 21-25 2011Isaac Newton Institute

The annual Invited Lecturers scheme aims to bring a distinguished overseas mathematician to the United Kingdom to present a small course of about ten lectures spread over a week. Each course of Invited Lectures is on a major field of current mathematical research, and is instructional in nature, being directed both at graduate students beginning research and at established mathematicians who wish to learn about a field outside their own research specialism.

Emmanuel Candes will give an eight-lecture minicourse, at a level suitable for graduate students, on Compressed Sensing. This is a subject very much at the interface of pure and applied mathematics and the lectures should interest a wide audience. There will also be one-hour lectures by:

Mike Davies (Edinburgh) -Compressed sensing in RFAnders Hansen (Cambridge) -Generalized sampling and infinite-dimensional compressed sensingVincent Rivoirard (Paris-Dauphine) -The Dantzig selector for high dimensional statistical problemsCarola Schoenlieb (Cambridge) -Minimisation of sparse higher-order energies for large-scale problems in imaging
