Gilbert Lewis
Center for Applied Mathematics
The research interests of Gilbert Lewis are in the area of ordinary differential equations.
Recently, he has been looking at applications in cosmology (specifically,
what does the cosmological constant do?), pollutants in lake sediments,
and singular perturbations. The research in cosmology may help to answer
the question of why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. The
lake sediment study is joint work with faculty in Civil and
Environmental Engineering. They seek to be able to predict release rates
from and concentration profiles in the lake sediments. The singular
perturbation study is a new endeavor with Shirley Pomeranz of the
University of Tulsa.
