Results

  1. A Lightweight, Geometrically Flexible Fast Algorithm for the Evaluation of Layer and Volume Potentials

    Publication
    Over the last two decades, several fast, robust, and high-order accurate methods have been developed for solving the Poisson equation in complicated geometry using potential theory. In …
  2. An O(logN) Monte Carlo method for periodic Coulomb systems

    Publication
    Efficient Monte Carlo (MC) sampling of many-body systems with long-range electrostatics is often limited by the cost of per-move energy-difference evaluation under periodic boundary …
  3. Fast Ewald Summation with Prolates for Charged Systems in the NPT Ensemble

    Publication
    We present an NPT extension of Ewald summation with prolates (ESP), a spectrally accurate and scalable particle-mesh method for molecular dynamics simulations of periodic, charged systems. Building …
  4. Space-time adaptive methods for parabolic evolution equations

    Publication
    We present a family of integral equation-based solvers for the heat equation, reaction-diffusion systems, the unsteady Stokes equation and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in two …
  5. The Helmholtz Dirichlet and Neumann problems on piecewise smooth open curves

    Publication
    A numerical scheme is presented for solving the Helmholtz equation with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on piecewise smooth open curves, where the curves may have corners and …
  6. Interpolative separable density fitting on adaptive real space grids

    Publication
    We generalize the interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF) method, used for compressing the four-index electron repulsion integral (ERI) tensor, to incorporate adaptive real space grids for potentially …
  7. Fast summation of Stokes potentials using a new kernel-splitting in the DMK framework

    Publication
    Classical Ewald methods for Coulomb and Stokes interactions rely on ``kernel-splitting," using decompositions based on Gaussians to divide the resulting potential into a near field and a …
  8. A domain decomposition method for computing the scattering matrix of waveguide circuits

    Publication
    We analyze and develop numerical methods for time-harmonic wave scattering in metallic waveguide structures of infinite extent. We show that radiation boundary conditions formulated via projectors onto …
  9. A fast spectral sum-of-Gaussians method for electrostatic summation in quasi-2D systems

    Publication
    The quasi-2D electrostatic systems, characterized by periodicity in two dimensions with a free third dimension, have garnered significant interest in many fields. We apply the sum-of …
  10. Designing objects that are invisible to electromagnetic waves

    Publication
    This article shows that it is, in principle, possible to make a dielectric rod completely invisible to an incident electromagnetic plane wave of a given frequency. Students can …
  11. Accelerating Fast Ewald Summation with Prolates for Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Publication
    Fast Ewald summation is the most widely used approach for computing long-range Coulomb interactions in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. While the asymptotic scaling is nearly optimal, its …
  12. An Accurate and Efficient Scheme for Function Extension on Smooth Domains

    Publication
    A new scheme is proposed to construct an (n)-times differentiable function extension of an (n)-times differentiable function defined on a smooth domain, (D,) in (d)-dimensions …

  17. Design of Perfectly Conducting Objects That Are Invisible to an Incident Plane Wave

    Publication
    This work concerns the design of perfectly conducting objects that are invisible to an incident transverse magnetic plane wave. The object in question is a finite planar waveguide …
  18. A new version of the adaptive fast Gauss transform for discrete and continuous sources

    Publication
    We present a new version of the fast Gauss transform (FGT) for discrete and continuous sources. Classical Hermite expansions are avoided entirely, making use only of the plane …
