Abstracts

Sept 20, Julia Lindberg

Polynomial systems arise naturally in many applications in engineering and the sciences. This talk will outline classes of homotopy continuation algorithms used to solve them. I will then describe ways in which structures such as irreducibility, symmetry and sparsity can be used to improve computational speed. The efficacy of these algorithms will be demonstrated on systems in power systems engineering, statistics and optimization

The phonon transport equation is used to model heat conduction in solid materials. I will talk about how we use it to solve an inverse problem to reconstruct the thermal reflection coefficient at an interface. This takes the framework of a PDE constrained optimization problem, and I will also mention the stochastic methods used to solve it.
