The thesis is dedicated to the study of two main partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid dynamics: the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of incompressible fluids, and the transport equation with divergence-free velocity fields, whic ...
In this paper we will consider distributed Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problems dealing with Advection-Diffusion PDEs for high values of the Peclet number. In this situation, computational instabilities occur, both for steady and unsteady cases. A Str ...
Global spectral methods offer the potential to compute solutions of partial differential equations numerically to very high accuracy. In this work, we develop a novel global spectral method for linear partial differential equations on cubes by extending th ...
In this thesis we explore uncertainty quantification of forward and inverse problems involving differential equations. Differential equations are widely employed for modeling natural and social phenomena, with applications in engineering, chemistry, meteor ...
In this work we study, from the numerical point of view, a problem involving one-dimensional thermoelastic mixtures with two different temperatures; that is, when each component of the mixture has its own temperature. The mechanical problem consists of two ...
Isogeometric analysis is a powerful paradigm which exploits the high smoothness of splines for the numerical solution of high order partial differential equations. However, the tensor-product structure of standard multivariate B-spline models is not well s ...
The Koopman operator was recently shown to be a useful method for nonlinear system identification and controller design. However, the scalability of current data-driven approaches is limited by the selection of feature maps. In this paper, we present a new ...
Objective: Local pulse wave velocity (PWV) can be estimated from the waterhammer equation and is an essential component of wave separation analysis. However, previous studies have demonstrated inaccuracies in the estimations of local PWV due to the presenc ...
Analysis-suitable T-splines (ASTS) including both extraordinary points and T-junctions are used to solve Kirchhoff-Love shell problems. Extraordinary points are required to represent surfaces with arbitrary topological genus. T-junctions enable local refin ...
We introduce the "continuized" Nesterov acceleration, a close variant of Nesterov acceleration whose variables are indexed by a continuous time parameter. The two variables continuously mix following a linear ordinary differential equation and take gradien ...
