摘要:
报告一:
Balancing domain decomposition by constraints (BDDC) algorithms are 
non-overlapping domain decomposition methods for solutions of large sparse linear algebraic systems arising from the discretization of boundary value problems. They are suitable for parallel computation. The coarse problem matrix of BDDC algorithms is generated and factored by a direct solver at the beginning of the computation. It will become a bottleneck when  the computer systems with a large number of processors are used. In this talk, an inexact coarse solver for BDDC algorithms is introduced and analyzed. This solver helps remove the bottleneck. At the same time, a good convergence rate is maintained. 
We will also talk about the extensions of these inexact BDDC algorithms to  problems arising from the mixed finite element and mortar finite element discretizations. 
 
报告二:
Applications of filtering and data assimilation arise in engineering, geosciences, weather forecasting, and many other areas where one has to make estimations or predictions based on uncertain models supplemented by a stream of data with noise. For nonlinear problems, filtering can be very expensive since the number of the particles required can grow catastrophically. We will present a particle-based nonlinear filtering scheme. This algorithm is based on implicit sampling, a new sampling technique related to chainless Monte Carlo method. This sampling strategy generates a particle (sample) beam which is focused towards on the high probability region of the target pdf and the focusing makes the number of particles required manageable even if the state dimension is large. Several examples will be given.
