This seminar is devoted to fast, accurate algorithms in numerical analysis and signal processing. Conversation and collaboration among the groups is a particular goal. Pseudospectral and high-order finite difference methods, including but not limited to their use with irregular geometries and material interfaces. The sessions will be informal and interactive. Presentations will be about work in progress as well as established results.
Visitors are most welcome.
Graduate students may receive one credit for registering and attending. Regular meetings are in the applied math conference room, ECOT 226, on Tuesdays from 3-4pm. In recent years there has been a growing interest in studying fractal like functions using wavelets. In this talk I will illustrate the use of wavelets for fractal analysis. I will show a few examples with the help of WaveLab, a free software package for Matlab maintained by Dr. Donoho at Stanford University.
