Solar energy has seen tremendous advances in the past years. For thin film photovoltaics, which use less of the expensive semiconductor materials, insufficient light absorption can be a limiting factor. It is hoped that by using diffractive optics to impro ...
Nanoscale photonic systems involve a broad variety of light-matter interaction regimes beyond the diffraction limit and have opened the path for a variety of application opportunities in sensing, solid-state lighting, light harvesting, and optical signal p ...
Finite elements methods (FEMs) with numerical integration play a central role in numerical homogenization methods for partial differential equations with multiple scales, as the effective data in a homogenization problem can only be recovered from a micros ...
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 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 ...
This paper proposes an approach for high-order time integration within a multi-domain setting for time- fractional differential equations. Since the kernel is singular or nearly singular, two main difficulties arise after the domain decomposition: how to p ...
In this paper we give a survey on various multiscale methods for the numerical solution of second order hyperbolic equations in highly heterogenous media. We concentrate on the wave equation and distinguish between two classes of applications. First we dis ...
In this work we deal with the numerical solution of the fluid-structure interaction problem arising in the haemodynamic environment. In particular, we consider BDF and Newmark time discretization schemes, and we study different methods for the treatment of ...
An efficient and accurate method, based on the weighted averages (WA) extrapolation technique, is presented for the evaluation of semi-infinite range integrals involving products of Bessel functions of arbitrary order. The method requires splitting the int ...

We prove sharp regularity theorems for minimisers of a class of variational integrals whose integrand switches between two different types of degenerate elliptic phases, according to the zero set of a modulating coefficient . The model case is given by the ...
