Weekend Workshop on Fast Analysis-Based Solvers for Elliptic PDE

We hosted 11 30-minute talks, and a two-hour poster session with 10 posters. The titles and abstracts of all talks and posters are given in the later pages of the schedule.

Here are the weekend talks in presentation order, with links to the PDF of slides for those for which the speaker provided them:
