Key developers of three of the most significant recent or emerging paradigms of computation – fast multipole methods, level set methods, and multiscale computation – will provide tutorial introductions to these classes of methods. Presentations will be particularly geared to scientists using or interested in using these approaches in industry.

Osher, Chair In this dissertation, we provide efficient algorithms for modeling the behavior of a single agent, multiple agents, and a continuum of agents. For a single agent, we combine the modeling framework of optimal control with advances in optimization splitting in order to efficiently find optimal paths for problems in very high-dimensions, thus providing allevia- tion from the curse of dimensionality. For a multiple, but finite, number of agents, we take the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning and utilize imitation learning in order to decentralize a centralized expert, thus obtaining optimal multi-agents that act in a de- centralized fashion. For a continuum of agents, we take the framework of mean-field games and use two neural networks, which we train in an alternating scheme, in order to efficiently find optimal paths for high-dimensional and stochastic problems.

  • A Free-Space Adaptive Fmm-Based Pde Solver in Three Dimensions M.Harper Langston, Leslie Greengardand Denis Zorin
    Communications in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science A FREE-SPACE ADAPTIVE FMM-BASED PDE SOLVER IN THREE DIMENSIONS M. HARPER LANGSTON, LESLIE GREENGARD AND DENIS ZORIN vol. 6 no. 1 2011 mathematical sciences publishers COMM. APP. MATH. AND COMP. SCI. Vol. 6, No. 1, 2011 msp A FREE-SPACE ADAPTIVE FMM-BASED PDE SOLVER IN THREE DIMENSIONS M. HARPER LANGSTON, LESLIE GREENGARD AND DENIS ZORIN We present a kernel-independent, adaptive fast multipole method (FMM) of arbi- trary order accuracy for solving elliptic PDEs in three dimensions with radiation and periodic boundary conditions. The algorithm requires only the ability to evaluate the Green’s function for the governing equation and a representation of the source distribution (the right-hand side) that can be evaluated at arbitrary points. The performance is accelerated in three ways. First, we construct a piecewise polynomial approximation of the right-hand side and compute far-field expansions in the FMM from the coefficients of this approximation. Second, we precompute tables of quadratures to handle the near-field interactions on adaptive octree data structures, keeping the total storage requirements in check through the exploitation of symmetries. Third, we employ shared-memory parallelization methods and load-balancing techniques to accelerate the major algorithmic loops of the FMM. We present numerical examples for the Laplace, modified Helmholtz and Stokes equations. 1. Introduction Many problems in scientific computing call for the efficient solution to linear partial differential equations with constant coefficients. On regular grids with separable Dirichlet, Neumann or periodic boundary conditions, such equations can be solved using fast, direct methods.

  • The Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences: 75 Years of Excellence by M.L
    Celebrating 75 Years The Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University Subhash Khot wins NSF’s Alan T. Waterman Award This award is given annually by the NSF to a single outstanding young researcher in any of the fields of science, engineering, and social science it supports. Subhash joins a very distinguished recipient list; few mathematicians or computer scientists have won this award in the past. Subhash has made fundamental contributions to the understanding of the exact difficulty of optimization problems arising in industry, mathematics and science. His work has created a paradigm which unites a broad range of previously disparate optimization problems and connects them to other fields of study including geometry, coding, learning and more. For the past four decades, complexity theory has relied heavily on the concept of NP-completeness. In 2002, Subhash proposed the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC). This postulates that the task of finding a “good” approximate solution for a variant Spring / Summer 2010 7, No. 2 Volume of the standard NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem is itself NP-complete. What is remarkable is that since then the UGC has Photo: Gayatri Ratnaparkhi proven to be a core postulate for the dividing line In this Issue: between approximability and inapproximability in numerous problems of diverse nature, exactly specifying the limit of efficient approximation for these problems, and thereby establishing UGC as an important new paradigm in complexity theory.

  • Final Program
    Final Program The SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences is sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Life Sciences (SIAG/LS) The SIAM Activity Group on the Life Sciences was established to foster the application of mathematics to the life sciences and research in mathematics that leads to new methods and techniques useful in the life sciences. The life sciences have become quantitative as new technologies facilitate collection and analysis of vast amounts of data ranging from complete genomic sequences of organisms to satellite imagery of forest landscapes on continental scales. Computers enable the study of complex models of biological processes. The activity group brings together researchers who seek to develop and apply mathematical and computational methods in all areas of the life sciences. It provides a forum that cuts across disciplines to catalyze mathematical research relevant to the life sciences and rapid diffusion of advances in mathematical and computational methods.
