Week 10 Wrap Up
Throughout the Summer we have been meeting with Professor Young twice
a week and holding weekly meetings with the other REU teams. As
we have been working steadily since the beginning of the Summer
and Professor Young is preparing for the upcoming semester, we
decide to take a break from formal meetings until the Fall.
Over the summer we have,
| -learned vocabulary and can read relevant
texts in the field of NLHPDEs |
| -learned how to compute the; |
flux matrices of systems of PDEs
|
the lie brackets of a system
|
the interaction coefficients of a system.
|
| -developed programs to ease these computations. |
| -developed programs that graphically
illustrate the evolution of decoupled scalar equations. |
| -explicitly calculated the relevant information
for half a dozen systems. |
In the fall we might resume work on Nonlinear Hyperbolic Systems
of PDEs examining the Glimm Scheme, bounded variation, Entropies
of a system and Riemann invariants.
