R. Lazarov's research is primarily in the area of numerical approximation of partial differential equations and efficient solution techniques for the resulting algebraic problems. His expertise includes construction, stability and convergence analysis for finite element, finite difference and finite volume approximations, the development and analysis of iterative methods, domain decomposition, a posteriori error control and adaptive grid refinement, parallel algorithms and scientific computation with industrial application.
R. Lazarov collaborates closely with the permanent members of the Numerical Analysis Group at Texas A&M University ( J. Bramble , Y. Efendiev , R. Ewing , and J. Pasciak) as well as with his former students A. Andreev (TU Gabrovo, Bulgaria), V. Ginting, (University of Wyoming) S. Margenov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences), S. Tomov, (University of Tennessee) and visitors and postdocs P. Chatzipantelidis , (University of Crete) C. Douglas , (University of Kentucky), O. Iliev (Fraunhofer Instutute of Industrial Mathematics, Germany), L. Zikatanov (Pennstate University), V. Thomee (Chalmers University), P. Vassilevski (CASC, LLNL). In the past he had worked with G. Carey (UT Austin), H. Chen (TAMU), Z. Chen (SMU), Yu. Kuznetsov (U. Houston), V. Makarov (University of Kiev), Yu. Mokin (Moscow State University), A. Samarskii (Moscow State University), J. Schoberl (U. Aachen). R. Lazarov is a member of the Institute for Scientific Computation where he works on development of parallel algorithms and large scale scientific computations.
R. Lazarov is among the founders of the Numerical Analysis Seminar and of the graduate program in numerical analysis at TAMU. R. Lazarov has taught basic courses on numerical analysis and analysis of iterative methods. Various advanced graduate courses on finite elements, domain decomposition, multigrid, and mixed finite elements are taught on a regular basis by J. Bramble, J.-L. Guermond, and J. Pasciak. He is on the Committe for the Qualifing Exam on Numerical Analysis. He has advised fifteen Ph. D. students at Texas A&M University, Sofia University, and the Institute of Mathematics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
