Colloquium – Ming Yan, University of California, Los Angeles
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesParallel and distributed optimization Abstract: Due to the explosion in size and complexity of modern datasets, both the decentralized collection or storage of these datasets as well as accompanying parallel and distributed solution methods are either necessary or at least highly desirable. In this talk, I will introduce several ways to move from single threaded

Yujiang Wu, Lanzhou University “Lopsided PMHSS method for Complex Systems”
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesLopsided PMHSS method for Complex Systems Based on the preconditioned modified Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (PMHSS) iteration method, we introduce a lopsided PMHSS (LPMHSS) iteration method for solving a broad class of complex symmetric linear systems. The convergence properties of the LPMHSS method are analyzed, which show that, under a loose restriction on parameter $\alpha$,
Pi Mu Epsilon Undergraduate Series – Dr. Claudia Mewes – Investigations of static and dynamic magnetization properties of spintronic materials
302 Gordon Palmer HallSpintronics is a rapidly growing research field with many emerging technologies that aim to exploit the “spin” of the electron in addition to its electric charge. The design of new materials with specific properties optimized for a particular application is of paramount importance for widespread adoption of spintronic technologies. This requires an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the magnetization

230 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, AL, United StatesTopic: Folds, Intersections, and Inflections: Distinguishing Cylinders from Moebius Bands Abstract: On a smooth or polyhedral surface a strip neighborhood of a closed curve is either an orientable cylinder or a non-orientable Moebius band. How can we distinguish which form it has by observing singular fold chains for projections to planes or self-intersection curves of
Colloquium – Shibo Liu, Xiamen University
302 Gordon Palmer HallMINIMIZATION METHODS AND EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS The purpose of this lecture is to demonstrate the power of variational methods in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations to people working in other field of mathematics. The equations considered here are variational, namely there is an energy functional defined on certain Sobolev spaces, whose
