University of British Columbia
Given a couple of smooth positive measures of same total mass on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$, we look for a smooth optimal transportation map $G$, pushing one measure to the other at a least total squared distance cost. The recent local $C^2$...

Theories of the General Ocean Circulation
February 25, 2008
University of British Columbia
The general circulation of the ocean is a global phenomenon in which many geographically localized structures have long attracted scientific attention. This lecture will survey some of these and emphasize the connection between them. The connection...

2008 PIMS-CSC Seminar - 02
February 22, 2008
Simon Fraser University
Simulation of moving physical interfaces in 3-D is complicated by the need to (1) resolve complex realistic geometries with a spatial discretization, (2) accurately compute evolving physical fields on the discretization, and (3) evolve the...
