Seminar

Equivariant log-concavity of independent sequences of claw-free graphs

tarting in 2021, the University of Pittsburgh AWM Chapter hosts the Pitt AWM Student Seminar Series, held on the first Fridays of each month at 4:45pm. Every meeting features two 30 minute long talks by female PhD students, each presenting the speaker's research outcomes. Our seminar is hoped to give a platform to female students-researchers, to promote the spirit of collegiality and collaboration, and to recognize the hard work of students during the pandemic time and beyond.

Accurate and Efficient Spectral Method for Fractional Wave Equations

Recently, variable-order nonlocal models have gained a lot of attention in the study of heterogeneous media. However, their numerical studies still remain scant, and the main challenges are from their nonlocality and heterogeneity. In this talk, I will present a Fourier pseudospectral method for solving the variable-order fractional wave equation. For constant-order wave equations, the fast Fourier transforms can be used for their efficient implementation.
