In this work, we propose viable and efficient strategies for the stabilization of the reduced basis approximation of an advection dominated problem. In particular, we investigate the combination of a classic stabilization method (SUPG) with the Offline-Onl ...
In this work we compare numerically different families of nested quadrature points, i.e. the classic Clenshaw{Curtis and various kinds of Leja points, in the context of the quasi-optimal sparse grid approximation of random elliptic PDEs. Numerical evidence ...
In this paper we propose a local orthogonal decomposition method (LOD) for elliptic partial differential equations with inhomogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. For this purpose, we present new boundary correctors which preserve the common ...
This paper proposes a smoothing technique for nonsmooth convex minimization using self-concordant barriers. To illustrate the main ideas, we compare our technique and the proximity smoothing approach (Nesterov2005) via the classical gradient method on both ...
The intensity of a nonlinear terahertz (THz) source is primarily given by its spectral density. In this letter, we introduce triangular Selinium (Se) as a novel THz emitter and show numerically its superior properties to the currently used crystals for int ...
We show numerically that the response of simple amorphous solids (elastic networks and particle packings) to a local force dipole is characterized by a lengthscale c that diverges as unjamming is approached as c ∼ (z - 2d)-1/2, where z ≥ 2d is the mean coo ...
In this thesis we consider a fully coupled model which aims at reproducing some qualitative features of the electro-mechanical activity of the heart. The models used to describe both the electrical and mechanical activities are relatively simple. However, ...
In the present paper the experimental results of in-plane shear tests on masonry walls subject to cyclic loads under constant axial load and externally strengthened with composite grid embedded in a cementitious matrix are synthetized. The experimental res ...
Calculation depends on the majority of the abilities within the domain of general intelligence (Blair et al., 2005). Most major theories of intelligence include numeracy or quantitative thinking as one aspect of general cognitive skills (Kaufman et al., 20 ...
The modeling of multivariate extremes has received increasing recent attention because of its importance in risk assessment. In classical statistics of extremes, the joint distribution of two or more extremes has a nonparametric form, subject to moment con ...
