The further development of these topics will require skills in real and complex analysis, numerical analysis, classical special functions, approximation theory, and parallel computing. The DLMF will provide significant new formulae, graphs, and tables in the form of a highly interactive Web-based information resource. We work with scientists in other NIST laboratories to develop computer simulation and analysis of magnetic systems. Model verification is achieved by comparison against experiment and by development of standard problems. This work includes development of public domain software for reference and research.
Research focuses on micromagnetic modeling.
Applied Optimization and simulation form an area of engineering that sits between mathematics and computer science. They include computational tools used to solve important problems in engineering, economics, and all branches of science. Current concerns include the development and analysis of algorithms for the solution of problems of estimation, simulation and control of complex systems, and their implementations on computers. We are particularly interested in nonlinear optimization problems, which involve computationally intensive function evaluations. The comparability among the various techniques for numerical approximation through optimization algorithms is very important.
