The influence of a reflecting surface on the optical bistability in a nanoantenna array is investigated theoretically. The optical response of the array is modeled using a surface integral equation method developed for periodic structures, and the descript ...
In this project we numerically simulate electrophysiological models for cardiac applications by means of Isogeometric Analysis. Specifically, we aim at understanding the advantages of using high order continuous NURBS (Non-UniformRational B-Splines) basis ...
We develop rigorous alternating direction optimization methods for a prototype constrained convex optimization template, which has broad applications in computational sciences. We build upon our earlier work on the model-based gap reduction (MGR) technique ...
This work concerns a dedicated mixed-signal power system dynamic simulator. The equations that describe the behavior of a power system can be decoupled in a large linear system that is handled by the analog part of the hardware, and a set of differential e ...
We are interested in the mathematical modeling of the deformation of the human lung tissue, called the lung parenchyma, during the respiration process. The parenchyma is a foam-like elastic material containing millions of air-filled alveoli connected by a ...
This volume presents selected papers from the ninth International Conference on Spectral and High Order Methods (ICOSAHOM’12) conference that was held at Gammarth, Tunisia, during the week June 25–29, 2012. These selected papers were refereed by members of ...
We introduce new sufficient conditions for a numerical method to approximate with high order of accuracy the invariant measure of an ergodic system of stochastic differential equations, independently of the weak order of accuracy of the method. We then pre ...

Nonlinear modeling of coaxial microhelicopters is studied. All equations are derived using a Lagrangian approach and simplified aerodynamics assumptions so that all parameters have a physical meaning; there is no “black box.” The model is constructed with ...
This paper presents a method to solve the constrained infinite-time linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem. We use an operator splitting technique, namely the alternating minimization algorithm (AMA), to split the problem into an unconstrained LQR proble ...
We propose a discontinuous Galerkin method for convection-subdiffusion equations with a fractional operator of order alpha [1,2] defined through the fractional Laplacian. The fractional operator of order alpha is expressed as a composite of first order der ...
