Nonlinear Waves Seminar
Nonlinear Waves
The Nonlinear Waves seminar is motivated by wave phenomena in various systems. However, more broadly, we are interested in computational and applied mathematics. All are welcome to attend. All meetings are in-person, unless specified otherwise.
If you would like to give a talk, email Justin Cole (jcole13@uccs.edu).
Thursdays 3:10pm-4:10pm, ACAD Building Seminar Rooms

Title: Approximating 1D topological insulators in the presence of noisy data
Abstract: We inspect the performance of a nonlinear least squares optimization approach to finding tight-binding coefficients in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model for 1D topological insulators when the underlying band or spectral data is corrupted by random, white noise. We show the optimization approach accurately reproduces expected topology and tight binding coefficients of the underlying band or spectral data and converges to the results of the clean model at $\mathcal{O}(N^{-1/2})$ where $N$ is the number of realizations.
