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 .

I distribute MATLAB software for Linear Equations, Nonlinear Equations, and Optimization . Our group supports MATLAB and FORTRAN 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.


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

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

I'm teaching Multigrid/Domdain Decomposition, MA 798k, in Spring 2008.

Leihong Zhang from Hong Kong Baptist University is visiting me in Spring 2008.

Version 0.6 of my implicit filtering code in MATLAB is now ready for your beta-testing. I've fixed a few bugs and added some functionality. If you are still using 0.5 and are happy, you need not switch. v0.7 will incorporate major changes. I am no longer supporting the old FORTRAN code.

Karen Dillard has left the building. She is now at the Air Force Institute of Technology.

Anne Costolanski is the new PhD student in the group. She'll be working on nano-scale semiconductor devices.

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

A REALLY OLD picture.
