The aim of the project is double: to understand the flexibility of the Isogeometric Analysis tools through the solution of some PDEs problems; to test the improvement in the computational time given by a partial loops vectorization at compile-time of the L ...
The lattice Boltzmann method is nowadays a common tool for solving computational fluid dynamics problems. One of the difficulties of this numerical approach is the treatment of the boundaries, because of the lack of physical intuition for the behavior of t ...
The bidomain model of electrical activity of myocardial tissue consists of a possibly degenerate parabolic PDE coupled with an elliptic PDE for the transmembrane and extracellular potentials, respectively. This system of two scalar PDEs is supplemented by ...
The topic of this thesis is the study of several stochastic control problems motivated by sailing races. The goal is to minimize the travel time between two locations, by selecting the fastest route in face of randomly changing weather conditions, such as ...
In the present work a general theoretical framework for coupled dimensionally-heterogeneous partial differential equations is developed. This is done by recasting the variational formulation in terms of coupling interface variables. In such a general setti ...
Let n > 2 be even; r >= 1 be an integer; 0 < alpha < 1; Omega be a bounded, connected, smooth, open set in R-n; and nu be its exterior unit normal. Let f, g is an element of C-r,C-alpha((Omega) over bar; Lambda(2)) be two symplectic forms (i.e., closed and ...
We show that by extending the Laplacian formalism, which was first introduced in the Graphics community to regularize 3D meshes, we can turn the monocular 3D shape reconstruction of a deformable surface given correspondences with a reference image into a w ...
For a class of second order quasilinear elliptic equations we establish the existence of two non-negative weak solutions of the Dirichlet problem on a bounded domain, Omega. Solutions of the boundary value problem are critical points of C-1-functional on H ...
With an annual worldwide production well in excess of 100 million metric tons, synthetic polymers constitute a significant part of the modern chemical process industry. Polymer reactors - operated in continuous, batch, or semibatch mode - are therefore imp ...
Spaces of continuous piecewise linear finite elements are considered to solve a Poisson problem, and several numerical methods are investigated to recover second derivatives. Numerical results on 2D and 3D isotropic and anisotropic meshes indicate that the ...
