Invariant solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations play an important role in the spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of turbulent shear flows. Despite the significance of these solutions, their identification remains a computational…

We propose inertial versions of block coordinate descent methods for solving non-convex non-smooth composite optimization problems. Our methods possess three main advantages compared to current state-of-the-art accelerated first-order…

We introduce an adaptive element-based domain decomposition (DD) method for solving saddle point problems defined as a block two by two matrix. The algorithm does not require any knowledge of the constrained space. We assume that all sub…

We investigate a family of approximate multi-step proximal point methods, framed as implicit linear discretizations of gradient flow. The resulting methods are multi-step proximal point methods, with similar computational cost in each…

In this paper, we present novel randomized algorithms for solving saddle point problems whose dual feasible region is given by the direct product of many convex sets. Our algorithms can achieve an ${\cal O}(1/N)$ and ${\cal O}(1/N^2)$ rate…

This paper presents algorithms for the included-sums and excluded-sums problems used by scientific computing applications such as the fast multipole method. These problems are defined in terms of a $d$-dimensional array of $N$ elements and…

Although many real-world stochastic planning problems are more naturally formulated by hybrid models with both discrete and continuous variables, current state-of-the-art methods cannot adequately address these problems. We present the…

In this paper, we introduce an inexact approach to the Boosted Difference of Convex Functions Algorithm (BDCA) for solving nonconvex and nondifferentiable problems involving the difference of two convex functions (DC functions).…

The Nested Dirichlet Distribution (NDD) provides a flexible alternative to the Dirichlet distribution for modeling compositional data, relaxing constraints on component variances and correlations through a hierarchical tree structure. While…

A central challenge to using first-order methods for optimizing nonconvex problems is the presence of saddle points. First-order methods often get stuck at saddle points, greatly deteriorating their performance. Typically, to escape from…

We introduce a stress/total-pressure formulation for poroelasticity that includes the coupling with steady nonlinear diffusion modified by stress. The nonlinear problem is written in mixed-primal form, coupling a perturbed twofold…

Inverse problems in fluid dynamics are ubiquitous in science and engineering, with applications ranging from electronic cooling system design to ocean modeling. We propose a general and robust approach for solving inverse problems in the…

With the aim of efficiently simulating three-dimensional multiphase turbulent flows with a phase-field method, we propose a new discretization scheme for the biharmonic term (the 4th-order derivative term) of the Cahn-Hilliard equation.…

This paper presents an algorithm that solves the AC power flow problem for balanced, three-phase transmission systems at steady state. The algorithm extends the "fixed-point power flow" algorithm in the literature to include transmission…

We present an asymptotically faster algorithm for solving linear systems in well-structured 3-dimensional truss stiffness matrices. These linear systems arise from linear elasticity problems, and can be viewed as extensions of graph…

In this paper, we study the problem of solving a simple bilevel optimization problem, where the upper-level objective is minimized over the solution set of the lower-level problem. We focus on the general setting in which both the upper-…

We consider systems of nonlinear magnetostatics and quasistatics that typically arise in the modeling and simulation of electric machines. The nonlinear problems, eventually obtained after time discretization, are usually solved by…

In contact mechanics computation, the constraint conditions on the contact surfaces are typically enforced by the Lagrange multiplier method, resulting in a saddle point system. Given that the saddle point matrix is indefinite, solving…

The goal of this work is to construct and study hybrid and multiplicative two-level overlapping Schwarz algorithms with standard coarse spaces for the almost incompressible linear elasticity and Stokes systems, discretized by mixed finite…

An efficient and accurate finite-element algorithm is described for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes (INS) equations. The new algorithm that solves the INS equations in a velocity-pressure reformulation is based on…
