Low-rank tensor approaches for adaptive function approximation: algorithms and examples In this talk, we present an adaptive method for approximating high-dimensional low-rank functions. Taking advantage of low-rank structure in approximation problems has been shown to prove advantageous for scaling numerical algorithms and computation to higher dimensions by mitigating the curse-of-dimensionality. The method we describe is […]

Two topics in computational fluid dynamics 1. The Lamb dipole is a steady propagating solution of the inviscid fluid equations with opposite-signed vorticity in a circular disk. We compare finite-difference solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) and the linear diffusion equation (LDE) using the Lamb dipole as the initial condition. We find some expected and […]
