Grants

The unified transform lab enjoys healthy funding from grants to support undergraduate research.

IG22-SDG101

Title: Spectral methods for long time asymptotics of boundary value problems.

This grant can support projects related to D to N maps and their long time asymptotics.

Projects supported through this grant:

D to N maps for the Stokes equation as 1/3 fractional differential operators

Initial nonlocal value problems for evolution equations of high spatial order

IG18-PRB102

Title: Numerical & spectral unified transform method: complicated boundary conditions.

This grant supported projects relating to the reimplementation of the unified transform method as a fully algorithmic mathematical construction and as a computer program, particularly for multipoint problems. Necessary first steps include spectral analysis of differential operators with multipoint boundary conditions, and building a julia package for efficient handling of exponential polynomials.

Projects supported through this grant:

Transform method for variable coefficient PDE

Long time asymptotics for periodic boundary data

Wave equation with nonlocal conditions

UTM as diagonalization of multipoint differential operators

UTM stage 1 for interface linearization of KdV solitons

Adjoints of general interface differential operators

Argument principle for root counting

Roots of holomorphic functions and the argument principle

Julia library for exponential sums and survey of Langer's work

Julia library for exponential polynomials

Relative growth of terms in exponential polynomials

IG18-CW003

Title: Dispersive quantisation via the unified transform method

This grant can support a project related to dispersive quantisation, particularly the development and implementation of numerical algorithms to detect these effects.

Projects already supported through this grant:

Generalized Fourier series methods using ApproxFun

Yale-NUS College Summer Research Programme

The unified transform lab has been fortunate to receive significant support for undergraduate research from the Yale-NUS College summer research programme (SRP) for faculty led and student initiated projects. Most projects in the unified transform lab are faculty led, but occasionally a student initiated project is possible. Several students have been enrolled in SRP but funded through another grant. Students enrolled in SRP are also invited to attend seminars in general research practice run by CIPE and participate in the Summer Research Symposium in September. Because of the added value offered by SRP, students who have no prior research experience are strongly encouraged to consider enrollment in SRP, regardless of funding source. If you are interested in SRP funding, please look out for opportunities and deadlines.
