Applied Math Talk: Multiwavelet discontinuous Galerkin methods and automated parameters for troubled cell indication given by Professor Jennifer Ryan (Colorado School of Mines)
This talk focuses on using a multiwavelet representation of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximation for trouble cell indication. The multiwavelet representation is related to the jumps in the (derivatives of) the DG approximation. We then compare this indicator with other, more established indicators as well as machine learning approaches and demonstrate that it is possible […]

Applied Math Talk: Bounded-confidence models for opinion dynamics on online social networks given by Professor Heather Zinn Brooks (HMC)
Online social media networks have become extremely influential sources of news and information. Given the large audience and the ease of sharing content online, the content that spreads on online social networks can have important consequences on public opinion, policy, and voting. To better understand the online content spread, mathematical modeling of opinion dynamics is becoming […]

Title: Nonnegative Polynomials and Sums of Squares Abstract: Is x4-2x3+7x2-2x+1 nonnegative for any value of x? One way of showing that this holds is by writing x4-2x3+7x2-2x+1=1/2(x2-3x+1)2+1/2(x2+x+1)2. Studying the relationship […]

Applied Math Seminar: Numerical approximation of statistical solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws given by Professor Franziska Weber (Carnegie Mellon University)
ZoomStatistical solutions are time-parameterized probability measures on spaces of integrable functions, which have been proposed recently as a framework for global solutions for multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. We […]
