Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a computational methodology recently developed to numerically approximate Partial Differential Equation (PDEs). It is based on the isogeometric paradigm, for which the same basis functions used to represent the geometry are t ...
This project presents the theoretical background in electrophysiology that is used as a basis in the development of numerical methods for the simulation of heart’s electrical activity. We discuss the mathematical models currently used in cardiac electrophy ...
We introduce a new convex formulation for stable principal component pursuit (SPCP) to decompose noisy signals into low-rank and sparse representations. For numerical solutions of our SPCP formulation, we first develop a convex variational framework and th ...
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 ...
We consider a phase field model for the formulation and solution of topology optimization problems in the minimum compliance case. In this model, the optimal topology is obtained as the steady state of the phase transition described by the generalized Cahn ...
A system of partial differential equations describing the thermal behavior of aluminium cell coupled with magnetohydrodynamic effects is numerically solved. The thermal model is considered its a two-phases Stefan problem which consists of a non-linear conv ...
In this paper, we present a mathematical modeling of some magnetohydrodynamic effects arising in an aluminum production cell as well as its numerical approximation by a finite element method. We put the emphasis on the magnetic effects which live in the wh ...
Switched dynamical systems have shown great utility in modeling a variety of systems. Unfortunately, the determination of a numerical solution for the optimal control of such systems has proven difficult, since it demands optimal mode scheduling. Recently, ...
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 ...
This contribution addresses the mathematical modeling and numerical approximation of the excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms in the heart. The main physiological issues are preliminarily sketched along with an extended overview to the relevant liter ...
