My research interests are in linear/nonlinear equations, multilevel methods for integral equations , radiative transfer problems, optimal control , large scale optimization , optimization of noisy functions , and flow in porous media . I am a proud member of the NCSU Numerical Analysis Group and am very active in SIAM

I distribute MATLAB software for Linear Equations, Nonlinear Equations, and Optimization . Our group supports MATLAB codes for optimization of noisy functions.

Professional Data: recent publications and tech reports , presentations and talks , complete vita ,
undergraduate RAs , current and former Ph. D. students, my mathematical family tree .

I've moved from my asbestos-encrusted old office in Harrelson Hall (aka the black hole of Raleigh) to a palatial high-end office in SAS Hall.

Scott Pope has left the building. He passed his final oral exam on Feb 18. Scott now works at SAS.

I'm changing lives by teaching MA 784 this term.

Version 0.7 of my implicit filtering code in MATLAB is now ready for your beta-testing. This is a major upgrade with the addition of a nonlinear least squares solver. If you're using 0.5 or 0.6, it's time to move. Version 0.8 will do something about constraints and let you roll your own model Hessian. I am no longer supporting the old FORTRAN code.

Kelly Dickson has left the building. She's moving to Boston to work for MIT Lincoln Labs.

John Chrispell is my first academic grandchild and Lea's first PhD student. He's the guy with the tie on in this picture.

Kai Fan has joined the group as a postdoc. He'll be working on electronic structure calculations.

David Mokrauer has joined the group as a PhD student. He'll be working on optimization and nanoscale sensing.

The codes from my optimization book have been translated into Scilab . It's all here.

A REALLY OLD picture.
