Dirk Lorenz, TU Braunschweig, “Randomized sparse Kaczmarz methods”

SAS 4201

The Kaczmarz method is a numerical method to solve systems of linear equations and compute minimum-norm solutions of underdetermined systems. Because the method has very low memory requirements it has gained new attention in recent years. In this talk we propose a flexible algorithmic framework that extends the Kaczmarz method such that it also can…

Junping Wang, NSF, “Primal-dual weak Galerkin finite element methods for PDEs”

SAS 4201

This talk will introduce a primal-dual finite element method for variational problems where the trial and test spaces are different. The essential idea behind the primal-dual method is to formulate the original problem as a constrained minimization problem. The corresponding Euler-Lagrange formulation then involves the primal (original) equation and its dual with homogeneous data. The…
