Traditional stability concepts for ODE solvers typically deal with linear equations and/or bounds involving inner-product norms only. Modern problems of interest are typically nonlinear and in many casesthe relevant bounds for the problem involve...

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...

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...
