A new finite element method for the efficient discretization of elliptic homogenization problems is proposed. These problems, characterized by data varying over a wide range of scales cannot be easily solved by classical numerical methods that need mesh re ...
A finite element heterogeneous multiscale method is proposed for the wave equation with highly oscillatory coefficients. It is based on a finite element discretization of an effective wave equation at the macro scale, whose a priori unknown effective coeff ...
A small value of the spin gap in quantum antiferromagnets with strong frustration makes them susceptible to nominally small deviations from the ideal Heisenberg model. One such perturbation, the anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, is an imp ...
A point-wise approach that can be used efficiently in the numerical solution of Electric Field Integral Equations is introduced. The algorithm is based on the so-called magic distance concept, which defines exactly the point-to-point equivalent of a four-d ...
In this work, we present a complete derivation of the NonAdiabatic Bohmian DYnamics (NABDY) equations of motion. This approach naturally emerges from a transformation of the molecular time-dependent Schrodinger equation in the adiabatic representation of t ...
Although mixed reinforced concrete (RC) - unreinforced masonry (URM) wall structures are often used, experimental and numerical studies on their seismic behaviour are scarce. Previous studies pointed out that the obtained results from numerical simulations ...
We consider elliptic PDEs (partial differential equations) in the framework of isogeometric analysis, i.e., we treat the physical domain by means of a B-spline or NURBS mapping which we assume to be regular. The numerical solution of the PDE is computed by ...
In this paper we report a fundamental morphological instability of constrained 3D microtissues induced by positive chemomechanical feedback between actomyosin-driven contraction and the mechanical stresses arising from the constraints. Using a 3D model for ...
We study the entanglement of multiple polariton modes, which results in continuous variable cluster states suitable for quantum computation. Schemes are based on parametric scattering between spin-polarized lower and upper polariton branches in planar micr ...
