An Efficient Multigrid Solver based on Distributive Smoothing for Poroelasticity Equations
In this paper, we present a robust distributive smoother in a multigrid method for the system of poroelasticity equations. Within the distributive framework, we deal with a decoup...

Approximately Global Optimization for Robust Alignment of Generalized Shapes
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...
