The numerical computation research group is concerned with developing, analyzing, implementing, and testing methods for solving mathematical problems on computers. It is also concerned with applications of numerical methods to scientific and engineering applications, and with languages and tools for numerical computation. There is considerable emphasis on the development of methods for parallel computers.
Specific areas of emphasis within the group include optimization and nonlinear equations (Byrd, Schnabel), partial differential equations (Cai, McBryan), eigenvalue problems (Jessup), and languages and tools for parallel computation (Jessup, Schnabel). Currently there is also considerable emphasis on applications from molecular chemistry (Byrd, Schnabel), astrophysics (McBryan), space structures (McBryan), and combustion and chaotic systems (Bradley).
