In a layered ocean circulation model, the vertical coordinate is a quantity related to density, and in a vertical discretization the fluid can be approximated as a stack of layers of constant density. Depending on the dynamics of the flow, one or more of these layers can be reduced to near-zero thickness in certain regions. In a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) algorithm, this situation requires a suitable use of limiters and a suitable implementation of horizontal viscosity.
We all use "informal induction": if a property holds for the first K integers, then we assume that it holds for all integers. Here, in the context of DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS, we investigate when this sort of inference is valid. Many of the examples come from the old favorites: Fibonacci numbers and Towers of Hanoi.
Choah Shin, a PhD student in Mathematics is the 2019-20 recipient of the Larry W. Martin and Joyce B. O'Neill Endowed Fellowship. The Martin-O'Neill Fellowship is awarded to a graduate student in the College of Science who demonstrates high achievement and whose research involves computational modeling. Mr Martin is a math (and engineering) alumnus: he had a successful career as a mathematician focusing on modeling for companies such as Lockhead Martin and IBM before leading Troon Vinyeard. The Fellowship includes a stipend and tuition waiver for the entire academic...
