Continuation Stealing in Julia
… with work stealing can be bounded by using continuation stealing when new tasks are spawned. Continuation stealing is opposed to child stealing, a different method for spawning tasks that is simpler to implement, but comes at the expense of potentially unbounded memory use. An extension to …

Multidimensional continuation of families of periodic orbits
In this work, we develop an atlas algorithm for continuation of piecewise polynomial discretizations of periodic orbits of ordinary differential equations. Such an algorithm generates a discretized representation of a manifold of such orbits embedded in a larger variable space. Each chart …

Factors related to continuation and non-continuation of superintendents in Region Study Group VI of the Commonwealth of Virginia
The purpose of this study was to identify factors which influenced Virginia Superintendents in Region-Study Group VI between 1978 and 1982 to continue or to vacate the position of superintendent. The population for the study included 29 cases: 19 were classified as continuing superintendents and 10 …

A parallel adaptive method for pseudo-arclength continuation
We parallelize the pseudo-arclength continuation method for solving nonlinear systems of equations. Pseudo-arclength continuation is a predictor-corrector method where the correction step consists of solving a linear system of algebraic equations. Our algorithm parallelizes adaptive step-length …

Polynomial continuation in the design of deployable structures
Polynomial continuation, a branch of numerical continuation, has been applied to several primary problems in kinematic geometry. The objective of the research presented in this document was to explore the possible extensions of the application of polynomial continuation, especially in the field of …

Accelerating topology optimization codes using mesh refinement continuation
… and explained in detail, which involves a continuation of increasing mesh resolutions to achieve low-compliance solutions with largely reduced computation times. Comparisons with examples from relevant literature show speedups of up to approximately 60% on discretizations up to the order of …

Live Work Studios: A Continuation of Cady's Alley
The boundary between public and private dwelling presents a complex architectural problem in that it must provide separation and transition, exposure and closure, privacy and interaction, and embodiment and orientation. This thesis explores this boundary and its role in developing a sense of …

Helping Continuation High School Students Become Successful in Mathematics
… understand how to engage at risk students at a continuation high school in mastering mathematics. These students typically fail math classes, and, as a result, are unmotivated to attempt to learn principles of mathematics. The purpose of the study is to develop strategies that build their …

Robust design optimization with dynamic constraints using numerical continuation
… and integral constraints. A successive parameter continuation method combined with polynomial chaos expansions is used to locate stationary points. The use of such an expansion provides the benefit of being able to directly drive the mean and variance of a given response function (or an objective …

A Newton Method For The Continuation Of Invariant Tori
This thesis proposes a novel method for locating a p-dimensional invariant torus of an n-dimensional map. A set of non-linear equations is formulated and solved using the Newton-Raphson scheme. The method requires a set of sampled points on a guess invariant torus. An interpolant is passed through …

An Sn Application of Homotopy Continuation in Neutral Particle Transport
… is to investigate the usefulness of homotopy continuation applied in the context of neutral particle transport where traditional methods of acceleration degrade. This occurs in higher dimensional heterogeneous problems [51]. We focus on utilizing homotopy continuation as a means of providing a …

A Model of Project Continuation in Game Jams and Hackathons
… I present in this document a model of project continuation in online hackathons and a tool that directs conversations that develops the necessary components of continuation. This model was developed through three studies: a design study that generated the design for a bot to be used in an …

Optimal design of unmodeled linear systems using control-based continuation
This thesis describes the use of control-based continuation for design optimization, in the presence of constraints and without access to a model, of the response of a linear system to harmonic input. A proof of concept of this paradigm is presented in the context of an armature-controlled DC …
