Theoretical Screening of Solid Sorbents for CO{sub 2} Capture
By combining thermodynamic database searches with density functional theory and lattice phonon dynamics, a screening methodology was developed to identify promising solid sorbent candidates for CO{sub 2} capture. This methodology has been used to screen hundreds of solid compounds and some of the promising candidates to date have been reported in literature. This screening methodology is particularly relevant for the case of materials for which experimental thermodynamic data is not available. Such areas of interest are represented by the case of solid mixtures and doped materials, where thermodynamic data are generally not available but for which the crystallographic structure is known or can be easily determined.

Recent Progress in Nonlinear and Linear Solvers
We discuss two approaches for tackling algebraic systems, one is based on block preconditioning and the other is based on multifrontal and hierarchical matrix methods. First we consider a new preconditioner framework for supporting implicit time integration within an atmospheric climate model. We give an overview of the computational infrastructure used in atmospheric climate studies, address specific challenges of weak-scalability of numerical methods used in these codes, outline a strategy for addressing these challenges, and provide details about the software infrastructure being developed to implement these ideas. In the second part, we present our recent results of employing hierarchically semiseparable low-rank structure in a multifrontal factorization framework. This leads to superfast linear solvers for elliptic PDEs and effective preconditioners for a wider class of sparse linear systems.
