Summary
Applying forward-backward stochastic differential equations to optimisation. This project intends to develop new ways to solve optimisation problems that are currently difficult to solve because of their complexity and size. In particular, forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) are a new technique that is showing ways to solve problems for which there is yet to be a solution. This project's focus will be on problems that cannot use existing software because the decision-maki ....Applying forward-backward stochastic differential equations to optimisation. This project intends to develop new ways to solve optimisation problems that are currently difficult to solve because of their complexity and size. In particular, forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) are a new technique that is showing ways to solve problems for which there is yet to be a solution. This project's focus will be on problems that cannot use existing software because the decision-making processes require intensive consideration of all possible outcomes in the modelled environment. In comparison to previous optimisation methods, the FBSDE approach is easier to work with and much more informative. The project's main potential applications are multiplayer games with mean-field interaction and financial markets with partial information.Read moreRead less

Summary
Revealing the origin and early evolution of spiralian animal body plans. This project aims to reconstruct the early evolutionary history of the Spiralia, a megadiverse animal group that extends back 540 million years. Their oldest fossils represent some of the earliest known animals and can reveal much about the speed and magnitude of evolution during the Cambrian Explosion, when most animal groups rapidly appeared. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the origin and radiation of so ....Revealing the origin and early evolution of spiralian animal body plans. This project aims to reconstruct the early evolutionary history of the Spiralia, a megadiverse animal group that extends back 540 million years. Their oldest fossils represent some of the earliest known animals and can reveal much about the speed and magnitude of evolution during the Cambrian Explosion, when most animal groups rapidly appeared. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the origin and radiation of some of the first animal body plans to better understand the early history of complex life. Anticipated outcomes and benefits include a new macroevolutionary framework for spiralians, novel approaches to studying invertebrate fossils, and highlighting the scientific importance of Australia’s natural heritage.Read moreRead less
