Exploiting Special Structures in Numerical Continuation Methods
Faculty: Dr. Samuel A. Awoniyi
Numerical continuation methods are computational methods that solve numerical equations (and numerical optimization problems) by following paths containing approximate solutions, beginning with the solution of a simple version of the given equations (or problems), until an acceptable approximate solution is reached. There are two classes of numerical continuation methods, namely, the predictor-corrector methods (PC methods) and the piecewise-linear continuation methods (PL methods).

The Healthcare Engineering Research Group is focused on the development and application of advanced analytical tools for improving the efficiency and efficacy of healthcare systems. Healthcare is a complex interaction of several stakeholders and components, including patients, physicians, nurses, healthcare facilities, government policies, and insurance providers. Analytical techniques, along with systems thinking, provide unique opportunities for analyzing and exploiting these interactions to bring high-impact, reliable improvements.
The team is composed of faculty members with expertise in statistical modeling, data mining, optimization, and systems engineering. Researchers and practitioners with complementary interests may contact Dr. Abhishek K. Shrivastava or individual team members.
