346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: Fast Solutions of Large Linear Systems and Eigenvalue Problems by Exploring Structures Abstract: Solving large linear systems and eigenvalue problems remains to be the key computational tasks in scientific computing, data processing, and engineering simulations. Practical numerical problems often introduce various structures into the matrix representations. In this talk, we show the existence of
Colloquium in Honor of Hispanic Heritage Month – Ivelisse Rubio, University of Puerto Rico
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: The covering method: an intuitive approach to the computation of p-divisibility of exponential sums Abstract: Exponential sums over finite fields are an important tool for solving mathematical problems and have applications to many other areas. However, some of the methods and proofs of the results are non-elementary. The main purpose of this talk
Colloquium – Xiaobing Feng, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Phase field method for geometric moving interface problems and their numerical approximations Abstract: In this talk I shall first give a brief introduction to the phase field method for general geometric moving interface problems. The focus will be on presenting its idea, formulation,and relationship to other methods for moving interface problems such as the
Colloquium – Changyou Wang (Purdue University)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Analysis of hydrodynamics of nematic liquid crystals Abstract: The orientation of Liquid crystal molecules has their preferable direction and exhibits an optical structure. Liquid crystal can also been viewed as an intermediate state between the liquid and the solid states. Given the importance, people have studied liquid crystals from the view point of modeling, computation, analysis, and engineering. In
Colloquium: Jo Ellis-Monaghan (Saint Michael’s College)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Combinatorial, topological, and computational approaches to DNA self-assembly. Abstract: Applications of immediate concern have driven some of the most interesting questions in the field of graph theory, for example graph drawing and computer chip layout problems, random graph theory and modeling the internet, graph connectivity measures and ecological systems, etc. Currently, scientists are engineering
Colloquium – Guowei Wei, Michigan State University
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Mathematical AI for drug discovery Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed the landscape of science, technology, industry, and social media in the past few years. It holds a great future for discovering new drugs significantly faster and cheaper. However, AI-based drug discovery encounters obstacles arising from the structural complexity of protein-drug interactions and
