Baselining Urban Ecosystems from Sentinel Species: Fitness, Flows, and Sinks [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
How can the shape of biodiversity inform us about cities’ ecoclimatic fitness and guide their development? Can we use species as the harbingers of climatic extremes? Eco-climatically sensitive species carry information about hydroclimatic change in their

Butterfly Factorization [PDF]

open access: yesMultiscale Modeling & Simulation, 2015
The paper introduces the butterfly factorization as a data-sparse approximation for the matrices that satisfy a complementary low-rank property. The factorization can be constructed efficiently if either fast algorithms for applying the matrix and its adjoint are available or the entries of the matrix can be sampled individually.
