Recently, the nonlocal Schrödinger equations have found many applications in various areas. This talk will present recent work on the analysis and computations of the nonlocal Schrödinger equations. Due to the nonlocality, it is challenging to find the analytical solutions of the nonlocal Schrödinger equations. It will discuss some numerical methods, and then apply them to study both the stationary solutions and dynamics of the nonlocal Schrödinger equations.

Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are the most popular artificial replacements for diseased valves that mimic the structure of native valves. However, the life span of BHVs remains limited to 10-15 years, and the mechanisms that underlie BHVs failure remain poorly understood. Therefore, developing a unifying mathematical framework which captures material damage phenomena in the fluid-structure interaction environment would be extremely valuable for studying BHVs failure.
