Title: Parallel-in-Time Solution of Systems of Linear and Nonlinear Hyperbolic PDEs Abstract: The multigrid reduction in time (MGRIT) method is a parallel multigrid-in-time solver designed to be as non-intrusive as possible and take advantage of existing simulation codes and techniques. This has worked well for parabolic equations, but parallel-in-time methods for advection-dominated hyperbolic problems have proven difficult to develop. In previous work, we demonstrated the effectiveness of a...

Date: 09/03. This is an in-person seminar. Speaker: Abhishek Halder, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Iowa State University Title: Generalized Schrödinger Bridges Abstract: A bridge is a diffusion process that connects a given state to another within a given deadline. Well known examples include Brownian bridge and Bessel bridge. Schrödinger bridge is a diffusion process that steers a given distribution to another with maximum likelihood guarantee in the path space. It was conceived as a...

PhD Candidate: Tony Cantor Advisor: Aaron Stump Abstract: The property of logical duality arises most clearly within classical logic (or CL), and as a result it contributes to some of the aspects of the programs that correspond to the proofs of CL under the Curry-Howard correspondence. Specifically, a program that can be assigned a classical type can naturally exhibit useful programming features that are not present in other settings of the Curry-Howard correspondence. These features include...

PhD Candidate: Andrew Marmaduke Abstract Language is a medium of expression, both artistic and technical. Like constrained art, a programming language consists of self-imposed technical restrictions. These restrictions yield interesting properties and enable a precise communication of ideas. The programming language Cedille is significantly constrained but with a small grammar and vocabulary that surpasses the expressiveness of similar languages. This work proposes a refinement to Cedille that...
