The goal of this report is to study the method introduced by Adomian known as the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), which is used to find an approximate solution to nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) as a series expansion involving the recur ...
A new method for solving numerically stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with multiple scales is presented. The method combines a spectral method with the heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) presented in [W. E, D. Liu, E. Vanden-Eijnden, An ...
Modelling transport and long-term creep in concrete materials is a difficult problem when the complexity of the microstructure is taken into account, because it is hard to predict instantaneous elastic responses. In this work, several numerical methods are ...
In this thesis we study the efficient implementation of the finite element method for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE) on modern parallel computer archi- tectures, such as Cray and IBM supercomputers. The domain-decomposition ...
In this project report, we first present the application of the finite elements method to the numerical approximation of elliptic and parabolic PDEs over two-dimensional domains. We then consider the theory and numerical approximation of optimal control pr ...
A stable and efficient numerical scheme for the evaluation of surface integrals with 1/R-3-type singularities is presented. The method is based on the combination of the direct evaluation method and the singularity subtraction technique. The proposed metho ...
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 ...
A new finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (FE-HMM) is proposed for the numerical solution of the wave equation over long times in a rapidly varying medium. Our FE-HMM captures long-time dispersive effects of the true solution at a cost similar t ...
This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of symmetric large-scale Lyapunov equations with low-rank right-hand sides and coefficient matrices depending on a parameter. Specifically, we consider the situation when the parameter dependence is suffi ...
In this paper we present a discontinuous Galerkin method applied to incompressible nonlinear elastostatics in a total Lagrangian deformation-pressure formulation, for which a suitable interior penalty stabilization is applied. We prove that the proposed di ...
