Shape Optimization For Navier-Stokes Boundary and A Dimensional Splitting Method
Prof. Kaitai Li - Xian Jiaotong University
Feb 18, 2014 - 3:15pm to 4:30pm
Seminar - E1 122
The Drag Functional (Hydrodymamical Force acting on the Boundary) is choosen as objective functional for shape optimization of Navier-Stokes boundary. Since conjiugate gradient methods to compute optimization must do numerical differential for 3D Stress tensor and Gateaux derivative of soluyions of... read more

The Majority-rule Paradigm in Supertree Construction
F.R. McMorris - Professor Emeritus, IIT
Feb 17, 2014 - 4:40pm
Department of Applied Math - Colloquia - LS 152
The problem of aggregating the individual preferences of a group of "voters" into a group consensus preference has been studied for many years. Indeed, mathematical investigations of consensus problems go back to the contributions of Borda (1784) and Condorcet (1785), and are still frequently cited... read more

Reading/Discussion: Integer programming, transportation problems, tables, and Markov bases.
Dane Wilburne
Feb 12, 2014 - 3:30pm
Seminar - E1 121
Despina and Dane are leading the discussion of the following paper: All linear and integer programs are slim 3-way transportation programs by De Loera and Onn. See also this survey paper (arXiv:1307.0124) and this summary of applications to Markov bases (additional reference: arXiv:math/0207200... read more
