However, for some of the most commonly used signatures, the question of whether the signature uniquely determines the curve is unanswered. In this talk, I will give some background on the problem and then sketch the proof of a new uniqueness result based on the inverse function theorem for the circular area signature for graphs of periodic functions and discuss the difficulties with obtaining a similar result for simple closed curves. This is a joint work with Professor Selim Esedoglu. Speaker:  Jeff Calder Institution:  University of Michigan Event Organizer:   Purvi Gupta      Edit this event (login required).
