In this talk, we will discuss several optimal (global) conditions for the existence of a smooth solution to the mean curvature flow. Our focus will be on quantities involving only the mean curvature. We will also discuss several applications of a...

The conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm is usually the method of choice for the solution of large symmetric positive definite linear systems Ax=b. If however the matrix-vector products Av required at each iteration can not be calculated accurately, the...

I discuss algorithms and complexity results for two game theoretic extensions of integer programming: integer programming games and bilevel integer programming. In the case of integer programming games, I discuss an algorithm which computes pure Nash...

At the turn of the new millennium the Clay Institute in Boston had a small group of eminent mathematicians propose what they thought would be the seven most important mathematical questions for the 21st century. The prize for solving any of these...

I will discuss joint work in progress with Rajesh Kulkarni on the moduli of maximal orders on surfaces. In contrast to the "classical" case of Azumaya algebras, ramified maximal orders have several potentially interesting moduli spaces. I will...

Parallel multi-layer flow configurations occur in transport, co-extrusion and coating applications. In the industrial setting throughput (i.e. flow rate) is often limited by the onset of interfacial instabilities. Here we focus on a core annular flow...
