Developing research projects

  1. Higher-order downwind Runge-Kutta methods (with Yiannis)
    • Find families of 3rd and 4th order methods (Yiannis has 3rd order)
    • Tackle implementation issues?
      • Solvers
      • Boundary conditions
  2. Optimal splittings of Runge-Kutta methods (with Inma, Tihi)
    • We now have a solid draft, but are still working out some research questions.
  3. Shock formation in random media (with Amal, Benson)
  • Need to decide which direction to take this
  1. Numerical solution of time-varying coefficient Maxwell’s equations (with Damian)
  • Benson also has related results

Stuff that’s on hold:

  • Combinatorial approach to waves in layered media (with Bojan Popov)
  • Methods for seismic imaging (with Tariq al-Khalifah)
