Oil on masonite depicting African animals. Belongs to a series of murals of animals and people of the world that Francis Lee Jaques painted for the White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church (Mahtomedi, MN) in 1964. When it was first painted, the panel was sponsored by a member or members of the Wenger family.

One of the defining properties of small worlds is the prevalence ofshort paths connecting node pairs. Unfortunately, as a result the usualnotion of distance is not particularly helpful in distinguishingneighborhoods in such graphs.We describe a motivating problem that requires a finer-grained notion ofdistance. The problem is quite simple to sta...

Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KSDFT) is one of the most successful approximate models for many body problems. Besides computational quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, etc., KSDFT has also been playing an important role in the study of the nano-optics. For example, multi-physical models are derived with KSDFT to describe surface-...

Descriptions of implicit solvent models like the Poisson-Boltzmannequation express the electrostatic potential as the solution of anelliptic PDE with delta function source terms. These equations areparticularly good fits with iterative solvers that use a fast N-bodysolver as a preconditioner. Also, modern architectures favor suchalgorithms due t...

Discretizations of PDEs have traditionally relied on structured meshes. Requirements for geometric flexibility, both to conform to highly irregular geometries as in topographical and urban features as well as to achieve local refinement in critical areas, have led to an increased use of unstructured meshes, often in the form of polygonal-type el...
