Teaching:
In Spring 2010
I am teaching Math
6361, Applicable Analysis. This course covers a range of topics in
mathematical optimization theory including convexity, the theory of
multipliers
and duality theory. For more information about the
course and a listing of courses taught in recent years please
select the Teaching link above.
Research Interests:
My research
has centered on
mathematical issues in the analysis of problems that arise in physical
or engineering applications. Many of these problems involved questions
of optimization, variational principles and eigenvalue problems. Most
involve multivariable analysis and partial differential equations.
I am currently supported by NSF award DMS 0808115 to
study
"Div-curl systems and Variational Principles". Maxwell's
equations are the most important examples of div-curl systems. See the
link to Research for more information.
The work
on these issues is theoretical mathematics, involving functional
analysis and variational principles. It does not involve
computational studies and I do not have positions available
for
programmers.
Research Students:
A list of
former Ph.D. Students
who have graduated. I have also supervised many M.S. theses
and some undergraduate honors students and other research
projects.
Administrative and Editorial:
From January 2005 to
August 2007, I was a Program Director in the Analysis program of the
Division of Mathematical Sciences at NSF. Dr Bruce Palka
(bpalka@nsf.gov) can advise you on any issues that may now arise
concerning awards that I handled.
I am currently the chair of the mathematics department library
committee. If you have any questions about books or
journals and the UH library, feel free to contact me.
This section
associated with SIAM Review welcomes unsolved problems in
applied and applicable mathematics. Contributors should send proposed
problems to Cecil C Rousseau. If you can solve posted problems please
let the proposer and SIAM know about your solutions.
Houston Journal of Mathematics.
The Houston Journal
of
Mathematics publishes original research results in many areas of
mathematics. See their web-page Houston J. of Mathematics
for details of the submission process.
