We present a few situations involving a viscous jet or thread,and its deformation under a constraint. We first discuss the case of athread initially horizontal that deforms in the field of gravity (theso-called viscous catenary first described by Mahadevan). Then, weconsider a jet hitting a bath of the same liquid: here again, we show thatunders...

Vital Platforms: Towards A Feminist Theory of Human Media. This talk proposes a feminist theory of forms of human media -- exemplifying the use or actuation of humans as the instruments of other humans' will and expressive agency -- as integral but overlooked component forces in the colonial and postcolonial expansion of global capital. Focusing...

Tang and Xiong (2009) discuss the financialization of commodities markets as aresult of increased index investing activity in the past decade. They find empiricalevidence of increased exposure of commodities prices to shocks to other assetclasses. We build a feedback model to try and capture some of these effects in whichtraditional economic dem...

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-...

We have recently shown how path integral simulations can bestreamlined by decomposing the potential into a sum of rapidlyvarying short-range and slowly varying long-range contributions.In this talk, I will describe an efficient way to perform thisdecomposition for systems with electrostatic interactions, andillustrate the method with an applicat...

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...

Data classification, where the goal is to divide data into predefined classes, is a fundamental problem in machine learning with many applications, including the classification of 3D sensory data. In this paper, we present a data classification method which can be applied to both semi-supervised and unsupervised learning tasks. The algorithm ...

In this talk I will introduce the back-and-forth method, a new algorithm to efficiently solve the optimal transportation problem for a general class of strictly convex transportation costs. Given two probability measures supported on a discrete grid with n points, the method computes the optimal map in O(n log(n)) operations using O(n) storage s...

In this talk, we present a simple and efficient method for rotating aspherical harmonic expansion. This is a well-studied problem, arisingin classical scattering theory, quantum mechanics and numericalanalysis, usually addressed through the explicit construction of theWigner rotation matrices. Existing fast algorithms, based onrecurrence relatio...

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...
