- Feb 74:00 PMRational Approximation and the AAA AlgorithmBuilding: Joyce Cummings Center City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: JCC270 Wheelchair Accessible: Yes Open to Public: Yes Primary Audience(s): Faculty,Postdoctoral Fellows,Students (Graduate),Students (Postdoctoral) Event Type: Lecture/Presentation/Seminar/Talk Event Subject: Science Event Sponsor: School of Arts and Sciences Event Sponsor Details: Department of Mathematics Speaker Name: Nick Trefethen Link: https://math.tufts.edu/news-events/colloquium-series Abstract: Approximation by rational functions used to be mainly a theoretical subject, but with the introduction of the AAA algorithm in 2018, it became computationally practical and indeed easy. The implications for what we can do numerically are enormous. This talk will outline the algorithm and demonstrate its application to a collection of problems. We can also use it to demonstrate the potential theory that underlies the theory of rational approximation, a topic that goes back to Joseph Walsh at Harvard nearly a century ago.
