Stochastic Geometry for Multi-sensor Data Fusion System. The aim of this project is to develop efficient algorithms for tracking and sensor management in a multi-sensor multi-target environment. Finite random set theory provides a natural way of representing a random number of (random) object states, an issue that has been largely ignored in the tracking literature until recently.

The aim of this project is to develop efficient algorithms for tracking and sensor management in a multi-sensor multi-target environment. Finite random set theory provides a natural way of representing a random number of (random) object states, an issue that has been largely ignored in the tracking literature until recently. Although a satisfactory foundation for multiple object filtering has been provided by random set theory, in this early stage no algorithm capable of tracking many targets has emerged from this framework. We are confident that efficient algorithms can be developed by exploiting the insights and mathematical tools of stochastic geometryRead moreRead less
Non-local equations at work. This project aims to study non-local fractional equations. These problems arise naturally in many fields of pure and applied mathematics. This project will consider symmetry and rigidity results; problems from atom dislocation theory; nonlocal minimal surfaces; symbolic dynamics for nonlocal equations; and free boundary problems.

This project enhances Australia as a world leader in the field of mathematical analysis, focusing on regularity and qualitative properties of solutions of partial differential equations and nonlocal problems, and solving very challenging research questions in a key strategic area of international science.
The broad applicability of the results constitutes a very fertile ground for cross-disciplinary interactions with scientists of other disciplines.
A new research team based in Western Australia will be founded, connecting world leaders and talented early career researchers, providing an ideal training environment for students and PostDocs, offering an excellent image of the scientific community and developing strategic fields of knowledge.Read moreRead less
Forecasting and management using imperfect models, with a focus on weather and climate. Research into complex systems is predicted to be the focus of twenty-first century science, since most of the problems of simple systems are solved. Examples include the weather and climate, economies, argriculture, ecologies, the mind and brain, genetics, biochemistry.

Because of the discrete nature of digital information, much of the mathematics underpinning these advances comes from the core disciplines of algebra and combinatorics within which this proposal falls. All aspects of the proposal focus on strengthening theoretical understanding of algebraic and combinatorial structures, and increasing computational power for working with them. The fundamental research outcomes, in terms of theorems, algorithms, and the training of young research mathematicians, will thus both enhance the high international standing of Australian mathematics, and strengthen Australia's capabilities in these important areas.Read moreRead less

Factorisation of Finite Groups and Graphs. The combinatorial structure of a graph is strongly influenced by its
symmetry, and the symmetry is described precisely by its group of
automorphisms. Interplay between actions of the automorphism group on
vertices, edges, and other configurations, reveals important graph
structure, especially the existence of graph factorisations. In turn, a group factorisation arises whenever a group has two
independent transitive actions, and these arise in parti ....Factorisation of Finite Groups and Graphs. The combinatorial structure of a graph is strongly influenced by its
symmetry, and the symmetry is described precisely by its group of
automorphisms. Interplay between actions of the automorphism group on
vertices, edges, and other configurations, reveals important graph
structure, especially the existence of graph factorisations. In turn, a group factorisation arises whenever a group has two
independent transitive actions, and these arise in particular while
determining graph automorphism groups, and graph factorisations. We will classify families of group factorisations, especially for simple groups, and apply this to establish a theory of symmetrical graph
factorisations, and to study Cayley graphs and 2-closures of permutation groups.
