TITLE: Continuing work on solving helium's ground state
ABSTRACT: I will summarize the status of my research efforts, focused on finding a holomorphic expression for helium's ground state. Currently, I have a method for finding non-separable solutions to PDEs by converting them to a system of polynomial equations. Solving an arbitrary system of polynomial equations is not trivial, but my current focus is on the simplifications that arise from factoring the system's equations, which requires converting a boolean logical system from Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) to Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF). I'll show how to do this with the open source program "espresso" and discuss my own efforts to write a CNF-to-DNF converter.
PLACE: Aquinas Hall, room 108.
ORGANIZERS: V. Bogdan (The Catholic University of America), P. Kainen (Georgetown University), R. Kalpathy (The Catholic University of America), and A. Levin (The Catholic University of America).
