The systems of elasticity in 2D are wave-type equations with two different propagation speeds at a linear level. Due to the incompressibility, the system is nonlocal and is not Lorentz invariant, but it is inherently linear degenerate. We talk about...

We compute new families of time-periodic and quasi-periodic solutions of the free-surface Euler equations involving extreme standing waves and collisions of traveling waves of various types. A Floquet analysis shows that many of the new solutions...

How many arithmetic operations does it take to multiply two square matrices? This question has captured the imagination of computer scientists ever since Strassen showed in 1969 that \(O(n^{2.81})\) operations suffice. We survey the classical theory...

After a brief review of various classical connections between problems of polynomial zero localization, continued fractions, and matrix theory, I will show a few ways to generalize these classical techniques to get new results about some interesting...

In this talk, I will describe a new framework for approximately solving flow problems in capacitated, undirected graphs, and I will apply it to find approximately maximum s-t flows in almost-linear time, improving on the best previous bound of \(...

The Fukaya category of a fibration with singularities \(W: M \to C\), or Fukaya-Seidel category, enlarges the Fukaya category of \(M\) by including certain non-compact Lagrangians and asymmetric perturbations at infinity involving \(W\); objects...
