We propose, analyze and test Anderson-accelerated Picard iterations for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). Anderson acceleration has recently gained interest as a strategy to accelerate linear and nonlinear iterations, based on...

Parkinson’s disease is a debilitating condition causing highly disruptive motor complications. Although this condition has long been recognized and treated medically, many aspects of the disease and its treatment are not well understood. In fact...

The goal of this conference is to drastically rethink the first-year university mathematics curriculum. What skills and knowledge do we want students to develop and gain in mathematics courses? What pedagogical methods are most effective? How can we...

In this talk I will present some of the work done by my group on ion transport. The first part is on the analysis and computation of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model. We show that under normal physiological conditions, the PNP system can be...

I will present nonlinear dynamics for distributed decision-making that derive from principles of symmetry and bifurcation. Inspired by studies of animal groups, including house-hunting honeybees and schooling fish, the nonlinear dynamics describe a...

Thanks to the advancement of modern technology in acquiring data, massive data with diverse features and big volume are becoming more accessible than ever. The impact of big data is significant. While the abundant volume of data presents great...

Stochastic fluctuations in temperature, precipitation and a host of other environmental factors occur at multiple spatial and temporal scales. As the survival and reproduction of organisms, whether they be plants, animals, or viruses, depend on these...

We invite you to participate in the 11th Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis (Americas XI) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, from August 12-19, 2017. The XI Americas Conference brings together mathematicians...

A summer school for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will held during the first three days of the Americas XI conference (August 12-14, 2017). Tutorial lectures are given by experts in differential equations and nonlinear analysis Tutorial...

The subject area of Positivity is concerned with order structures in Analysis. It goes back to F. Riesz and H. Freudenthal, and to the Nobel prize winning work of L. Kantorovich. The last few years have seen rapid advances of multiple modern areas of...
