Abstract: The goal of directly imaging Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of other stars in our galaxy (potentially supporting life?!) has motivated the design of high-contrast imaging...
Abstract: We present in this talk the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach to deal with nonlinear terms in a large class of gradient flows. The technique is not restricted to specific forms of the...
Abstract: The convex conjugate of a function is a fundamental dual construction in convex optimization. This talk will discuss a novel convex conjugate approach to analyze some of the most popular...
Abstract: General anesthesia is a drug-induced, reversible condition comprised of five behavioral states: unconsciousness, amnesia (loss of memory), antinociception (loss of pain sensation), akinesia...
Abstract: The Grassmann manifold Gr(m,n) is the set of n-dimensional subspaces in R^m (assuming m>n), and is used in many science and engineering applications. A point in Gr(m,n) can be represented by...
Abstract: The massive datasets now commonplace in many fields of industry and science hold the promise of significantly changing our understanding of the world around us. Key to the fulfillment of...
