07/12/21 03:00 pm zoom L^{p}-extrapolation of non-local operators
Patrick Tolksdorf, Institut für Mathematik an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz

In this talk, we discuss non-local operators like elliptic integrodifferential operators of fractional type
$Au := p.v. \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \frac{u(x) - u(y)}{|x-y|^{d+2\alpha}}dy \quad \quad (1)$
or the Stokes operator with bounded measurable coefficients $\mu$, formally given by
$Au := -div( \mu \nabla u ) + \nabla \phi, \quad div(u) = 0 \; in \; \mathbb{R}^d. \quad \quad (2)$
These operators satisfy $L^{2}$-resolvent estimates of the form
$|| \lambda ( \lambda + A )^{-1} f ||_{L^2} \leq C || f ||_{L^2} \quad (f \in L^2(\mathbb{R^d}))$
for $\lambda$ in some complex sector $\left\{z \in \mathbb{C} \smallsetminus {0} : | arg(z) | < \theta \right\}$. We describe how analogues of such a resolvent estimate can be established in $L^{p}$ by virtue of certain non-local Caccioppoli inequalities. Such estimates build the foundation for many important functional analytic properties of these operators like maximal $L^{q}$-regularity.

More precisely, we establish resolvent estimates in $L^{p}$ for $p$ satisfying
$\left|\frac{1}{p} - \frac{1}{2} \right| < \frac{\alpha}{d}$
in the case (1) and
$\left|\frac{1}{p} - \frac{1}{2}\right| < \frac{1}{d} \quad \quad (3)$
in the case (2). This resembles a well-known situation for elliptic systems in divergence form with $L^{\infty}$-coefficients. Here, important estimates like Gaussian upper bounds for the semigroup cease to exist and the $L^{p}$-extrapolation has be concluded by other means. In particular, for elliptic systems one can establish resolvent bounds for numbers p that satisfy (3) and if $d \geq 3$, Davies constructed examples which show that corresponding resolvent bounds do not hold for numbers $1 < p < \infty$ that satisfy
$\left|\frac{1}{p} - \frac{1}{2} \right| > \frac{1}{d}.$
These elliptic results give an indication that the result for the Stokes operator with $L^{\infty}$-coefficients is optimal as well.

06/28/21 03:00 pm Zoom Some peculiar (and not very well known) aspects of Gauss quadrature rules*
Thibaut Lunet, Université de Genève

Gauss quadrature rules are nowadays not only a powerful tool to compute integrals in many scientific applications, but also a numerical method that most people in the scientific community at least heard of at some point in there life.
Even if they are not the only tool to compute integral numerically, they provide the possibility to integrate any function multiplied by a given weight function (or measure), by estimating the integral of the product using a weighted sum of the function evaluations at given values (nodes).
Classical measures are well known (e.g Legendre, Chebyshev, Laguerre, Hermite), and their associated quadrature rules are well studied and documented in the literature.
While some measures allow to estimate integrals over infinite intervals (e.g Laguerre or Hermite), others also allow to integrate a function with singularities (e.g Chebyshev of the first, third and fourth kind).
However, the use of non-classical measures for specific applications can also be considered, and even this is not often used in the community, many algorithms exist to compute the nodes and weights of those quadrature rules.
In this talk we will give a quick overview of those algorithms, their efficiency, numerical stability, and some current challenge that still need to be solved.
Furthermore, under some conditions, all Gauss quadrature rules share some common properties, in particular when considering a large number of nodes.
We will give a quick overview of those common asymptotic properties, and show how they can be generalized to other applications (e.g barycentric Lagrange interpolation).
While some of those properties have been proven in particular cases, we will present some situations where they have not been proved theoretically yet, or still need to be verified.

Joscha Fregin

Atmospheric motion covers a broad range of time- and spatial scales. Low and high pressure systems can influence us for days or even weeks and they extend up to hundreds of kilometers. In contrast, sound waves pass by in seconds with wavelengths of centimeters to meters. Implicit-explicit (IMEX) time stepping methods can help to avoid drastic limitations on the time step induced by the variety of scales without requiring computationally expensive fully nonlinear implicit solves. I will introduce Spectral Deferred Correction (SDC) methods as a strong competitor to currently used schemes. They allow an easy construction of high order schemes in contrast to e.g IMEX Runge-Kutta methods which require a growing number of coupling conditions with increasing order.
06/14/21 03:00 pm Zoom (Same as Coffee Chat) (A)periodic Schrödinger Operators
Riko Ukena

Discrete Schrödinger operators are used to describe systems in theoretical solid-state physics.
In this talk we consider discrete Schödinger operators with both periodic and aperiodic potentials. We analyse spectral properties of these operators and find conditions for the applicability of the so-called "finite section method" that allows us to approximate solutions of systems involving discrete Schrödinger operators.
06/11/21 03:00 pm Zoom (same as Coffee Chat) On convergence rates of form-induced semigroup approximation
Katharina Klioba

Solving evolution equations numerically requires discretizing both in time and in space. However, these two problems can be treated seperately. A common approach to spatial discretization relies on solving the weak formulation on finite-dimensional subspaces. On a semigroup level, this corresponds to approximating a semigroup by semigroups on finite-dimensional subspaces. For practical applications, quantifying the convergence speed is essential. This can be achieved by the quantified version of the Trotter-Kato theorem presented in this talk. Rates of strong convergence are obtained on dense subspaces under a joint condition on properties of both the form and the approximating spaces. An outlook to evolution equations with random coefficients and their polynomial chaos approximation will be given as well as a generalization allowing to treat the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator.

05/31/21 03:00 pm Zoom(Same as Coffee Chat) Preconditioning of saddle point problems
Jonas Grams

In many problems, like the discretized Stokes or Navier-Stokes equation, linear systems of saddle point type arise. Since the condition number for such problems can grow unbounded, as the number of unknowns grows, good preconditioners are key for solving such problems fast.

In this talk I will introduce some general preconditioning techniques for saddle point problems, and how to apply them to the discretized Stokes and Navier-Stokes equation
05/26/21 03:00 pm Zoom Coupling Conditions for the BGK Equation and Associated Macroscopic Equations on Networks.
Ikrom Akramov

In this talk, we examine linearized kinetic BGK equation in 1D velocity dimension. It is closely related to the Maxwell-Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics. The equation that we are interested is obtained by linearization of the equation around Maxwellian. We discuss the kinetic and macroscopic equations and the boundary and coupling conditions for this equation.

Furthermore, we will drive coupling conditions for macroscopic equations on different network and compare the solutions with Maxwell and half-moment approximations. Moreover, the macroscopic equations on the network with the different Knudsen numbers are numerically compared with each other.
05/17/21 03:00 pm Zoom: Image reconstruction from scattered Radon data by weighted kernel functions
Kristof Albrecht

Positive definite kernel functions are powerful tools, which can be used to solve a variety of mathematical problems. One possible application of kernel-based methods is the reconstruction of images from scattered Radon data, which is described in [1]. More precisely, the authors introduced weighted kernel functions to solve the reconstruction problem via generalized interpolation. Although the reconstruction method was quite competitive in comparison to standard Fourier-based methods, a detailed discussion on well-posedness and stability was mainly missing.

In this talk, I will explain the basics of kernel-based generalized interpolation and discuss the well-posedness of the proposed reconstruction method. Like most kernel-based methods, the reconstruction method also suffers from bad condition numbers. I will show how to apply well-known stabilization methods from standard Lagrangian interpolation to the generalized case to improve the stability significantly.

05/03/21 03:00 pm Zoom Hypothesis tests in regression models with long-range dependence
Matthias Lienau, Institute of Mathematics, Chair of Stochastics

In my inaugural talk I would like to introduce myself and present the topic of my master thesis. To this end, I will first provide a brief introduction to empirical processes and long-range dependence. Afterwards, we consider the problem of testing the equality of two non-parametric regression functions. Finally, we provide a goodness of fit test for the error distribution.
04/26/21 03:00 pm Zoom Inertial Particles in a viscous fluid: The Maxey-Riley equation.
Julio Urizarna

The characterisation of the dynamics of a small inertial particle in a viscous fluid is a problem that dates to Stokes[1], back in 1851. Since his first attempt, many have tried and several formulas have been obtained for different types of flows, as well
as more general cases; however, the scientific community did not agree in a general formula until 1983, when M. Maxey and J. Riley[2] obtained a formula from first principles. This formula includes an integro-differential term, called the Basset History term, which
requires information for the whole history of the particle dynamics and creates difficulties in the numerical implementation due to fast increasing storage requeriments.
In the last decade, the Maxey-Riley formula has drawn the interest of many mathematicians and so, local and global existence and uniqueness of mild solutions have been proved ([3] & [4]). Nevertheless, a method to bypass the history term and obtain the trajectory
of the particle remained unknown until the publication of an accurate solution method by S.Ganga Prasath et al (2019) [5].
In this presentation I will analyse the Maxey Riley equation and will identify the core ideas within S. Ganga Prasath's method to solve the Maxey Riley equation as well as its implementation for certain fluid flows.

04/12/21 03:00 pm Zoom Malliavin calculus and Malliavin-Stein method
Vanessa Trapp

In this talk, I would like to introduce myself and the topic of my master thesis "Malliavin calculus and Malliavin-Stein method".
As indicated by its name, this talk provides a basic overview of the Malliavin calculus and its operators in the case where the underlying process is an isonormal Gaussian process. After this introduction, it is shown how the Malliavin calculus can be combined with Stein's method for the purpose of one-dimensional normal approximation and, particularly, for the derivation of generalized central limit theorems.

03/15/21 03:00 pm Zoom meeting A semi-implicit meshfree/particle scheme for the shallow water equations*
Dr. Adeleke Bankole, Institute of Mathematics, Hamburg University

This presentation introduces the semi-implicit Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
scheme [1] for the shallow water equations following the semi-implicit finite volume and finite
difference approach of Casulli [2]. In standard explicit numerical methods, there is often a severe
limitation on the time step due to the stability restriction imposed by the CFL condition. To this
effect, a semi-implicit SPH scheme is derived, which leads to an unconditionally stable method.
The discrete momentum equation is substituted into the discrete continuity equation to obtain
a symmetric positive definite linear system for the free surface elevation. The resulting system
can be easily solved by a matrix-free conjugate gradient method. Once the new free surface
location is known, the velocity at the new time level can be directly computed and the particle
positions can subsequently be updated. We further discuss a nonlinear algorithm for treating
wetting/drying problems. We derive a mildly nonlinear system for the discrete free surface
elevation from the shallow water equations by taking into consideration a correct mass balance
in wet regions and in transition regions, i.e. the regions from wet particles to dry particles
and those from dry particles to wet particles. The scheme is validated on a two dimensional
inviscid hydrostatic free surface flows for the two dimensional shallow water equations and
wetting/drying test problem.

02/15/21 03:00 pm Zoom, Link per Mail Verified solution of ODEs by Taylor models implemented in MATLAB/INTLAB
Dr Florian Bünger, Institute for Reliable Computing

Solving differential equations rigorously is a main and vigorous topic in the
field of verified computation. Here, solving rigorously means that a computer
program supplies an approximate solution along with error bounds that respect
all numerical as well as all rounding errors that occurred during the computation.
An exact solution is proved to be enclosed within these rigorous bounds.
In this context so-called Taylor models have been used successfully for solving
ordinary differential equations (ODEs) rigorously. Implementations are COSY INFINITY [1], FLOW [2], ODEIntegretor [3], and RIOT [4]. Here, COSY INFINITY
developed by Berz and Makino and their group is the most advanced
implementation. Recently, we implemented the Taylor model approach in MATLAB/
INTLAB [5].

We give a short introduction to Taylor models, their rigorous arithmetic,
and the Taylor model method for enclosing solutions of ordinary differential
equations in a verified manner. We only treat initial value problems
$y_0 = f(t,y)$, $y(t_0) = y_0$
where the initial value $y_0$ may be an interval vector. For specific ODEs we demonstrate
how to use and call our verified ODE solver. This is designed to be very
similar to calling MATLAB's non-verified ODE solvers like ode45. Finally, results
and run times are compared to those of COSY INFINITY, RIOT and Lohner's
classical AWA.

01/04/21 03:00 pm Zoom Something with ... wait for it ... networks and robots*
Sonja Otten

Production processes are usually investigated using models and methods from queueing theory (queue = line where people wait for goods or services). Control of warehouses and their optimization rely on models and methods from inventory theory. Both theories are fields of Operations Research, but they comprise quite different methodologies and techniques. In classical Operations Research these theories are considered as disjoint research areas. Today's emergence of complex supply chains (=production-inventory networks) calls for integrated production-inventory models, which are focus of my research. We have developed Markov process models for several production-inventory systems and derived the steady state distribution of the global system. For most of the production-inventory systems the obtained steady state is of product form. This enables us to analyse the long term average costs with the aim to find the optimal inventory size.
In my talk, I focus on a basic production-inventory model and present the essentials of the other models. Furthermore, I show the connection to the industrial project “Robotic Mobile fulfillment system”.

Rebekka Beddig

I will introduce myself and present the topic of my master thesis.

In my thesis, I derived a method for model order reduction of parametric linear time-invariant systems. With this method we can compute parametric reduced-order models that are optimal with respect to the $\mathcal{H}_2 \otimes \mathcal{L}_\infty$-error. The method combines interpolatory methods with numerical optimization. We furthermore discuss the computation of the $\mathcal{H}_2 \otimes \mathcal{L}_\infty$-error and have a look at some numerical results.
07/27/20 03:00 pm Zoom Time-parallel flow estimation
Sebastian Götschel

Deformable image registration is a key technology in medical imaging; there the goal is to compute a meaningful spatial correspondence between two or more images of the same scene. One approach is to use an optimal control formulation to compute a stationary velocity field that parameterize the deformation map. The same methods can be used to estimate the motion of contrast agents from 3d ultrasound images.

This is work-in-progress; in the talk I’ll introduce the application problem and discuss computational techniques for its solution, with a focus on using parallelization in time to reduce the time-to-solution. It should be accessible for a broad audience.

Jan Meichsner

We consider the Caffarelli-Silvestre problem in a Banach space $X$ which is finding a solution $u$ to the problem
$u''(t) + \frac{1-2\alpha}{t} u'(t) = Au(t), \quad u(0)=x$
where $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a given parameter and $A \in \mathcal{S}_{\omega}$ is a sectorial operator. Goal of the presentation will be to sketch of a proof that a solution got to be unique (we will not deal with existence but this is a much easier anyway).
The proof is simpler and independent of what can be found in

06/29/20 03:00 pm Zoom A new approach to the QR decomposition of hierarchical matrices
Vincent Griem

All existing QR decompositions for hierarchical matrices suffer from numerical drawbacks that limit their use in many applications. In this talk, I will present a new method based on the recursive WY-based QR decomposition by Elmroth and Gustavson. It is an extension of an already existing method for a subclass of hierarchical methods developed by Kressner and Susnjara.

I will try to keep things as simple as possible and give a short introduction to hierarchical matrices as well. Previous knowledge of hierarchical matrices is not necessary to understand the basic ideas and main obstacles of the new algorithm. Although this talk is similar to my last one in November I will try to focus on some aspects we have only touched upon and present some new results as well.
06/22/20 03:30 pm Zoom Analysis of the discretization error in the RBF-FD method
Willi Leinen

Partial differential equations can be solved numerically by the radial basis function-generated finite difference (RBF-FD) method, which can be viewed as a generalization of the finite difference method to unstructured point sets.
A so-called stencil is computed for each interior node and radial basis functions are used for the computation of the stencil weights. The discretization error depends on the type of the point set (i.e. on the number of interior and boundary nodes and their distribution), the stencil size, the RBF type and the shape parameter of the RBF.
In this talk, I present an introduction of the RBF-FD method and a numerical analysis of the influence of the various parameters on the discretization error. I focus on Poisson's equation and on the convection-diffusion equation in three-dimensions.

05/18/20 03:30 pm Zoom Many-Body Localization: A Spectral Theoretic Investigation of Spin Chains
Katharina Klioba, E-10

Since most of you couldn't attend my master thesis defense due to the university closure, I would like to use this talk to present you some results of my master thesis "Many-body localization: A spectral theoretic investigation of spin chains". Spin chains are a class of quantum-mechanical models well-suited to study many-body localization (MBL) phenomena due to their one-dimensional structure. After a brief introduction to one-particle (Anderson) localization and spectral properties of infinite-dimensional operators, we will see possible definitions and manifestations of MBL. The proofs of MBL for two specific spin chains will be sketched, illustrating how one-particle and many-body techniques can be combined. Furthermore, I would like to use this talk to properly present myself in case you wondered who that person in the guest office was.

Since I am new to the institute, I want to use this talk to introduce myself to you, and talk a little bit about my master thesis.

For the thesis I studied the approximability of the inverse of finite element matrices, i.e. matrices which are gained from the discretization of elliptic PDE's with the finite element method, by hierarchical matrices. So, after introducing myself, i will give an overview about the construction of the approximation and the error analysis.

Haibo Ruan

For a regular coupled cell network, we define an index of integer tuples for its associated lattice of synchrony subspaces, and use this index for identifying equivalent synchrony subspaces to be merged to each other. Based on this equivalence, the initial lattice of synchrony subspaces can be reduced to a lattice of synchrony subspaces which corresponds to a simple eigenvalue case discussed in previous work. The result is a reduced lattice of synchrony subspaces, which affords a well-defined non-negative integer index that can be used for bifurcation analysis in regular coupled cell networks.

04/20/20 03:30 pm Online SISDC for NWP, geometric constraints in Rossby wave interactions and a little about me
Joscha Fregin

After only two weeks of being able to get to know you in person, I will use this talk to introduce myself and talk about present and past work. My presentation will be divided into three parts. After shortly introducing myself (1), I'll cover the following topics related to my masters thesis (2) and my PhD research (3).

2. Amplitude dynamics of resonant Rossby wave triads in Nambu form:
Non-linear interactions play a fundamental role in the redistribution of energy amongst Rossby waves. For weakly interacting waves, geometric constraints govern the dynamics of forced and unforced resonant Rossby wave triads. These constraints allow to cast the dynamical equations in Nambu formulation.

3. How Semi-Implicit Spectral Deferred Correction (SISDC) can improve Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and climate projections:
The multitude of time scales associated with atmospheric waves (e.g. Rossby-, gravity-, sound-waves) poses difficulties in modeling the full governing equations. The CFL condition usually requires the adaption of the time step to the fastest waves to prevent instabilities. However, the fastest waves (i.e. sound waves) in general transport a negligible amount of energy and therefore have minimal impact on the dynamics. By treating the fastest waves implicitly, instabilities can be prevented despite a CFL-number > 1. Using SISDC to integrate the linearized Boussinesq equations has proven to be valuable alternative to implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta and diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta methods. Applying SISDC to the full compressible governing equations may improve cost and accuracy of state of the art NWP models.

Don Julio Urizarna Carasa

Quite often, we wonder about the people around us but we are too shy to actually ask. On Thursday 27.02.2020, the Institute für Mathematik has organised a presentation about the one that is – up to the current date and not for very long – its latest “outstanding” acquisition.

During the presentation, you will finally be able to respond to the following questions:

- Why is he so fascinating?

- What was his last piece of work?

- What has he done during his first month?

These and any other question will be discussed during the meeting and who knows, maybe one day, in your closest cinema.
02/20/20 01:15 pm Room H - SBC5 - H0.03 Novel Space-Time Finite Element Discretizations*
Prof. Dr. Marek Behr, Chair for Computational Analysis of Technical Systems (CATS), RWTH Aachen University

Moving-boundary flow simulations are an important design and analysis tool in many areas, including civil and biomedical engineering, as well as production engineering. Interface-capturing offers flexibility for complex free-surface motion, while interface-tracking is very attractive due to its mass conservation properties at low resolution. We focus on these alternatives in the context of flow simulations based on stabilized finite element discretizations of Navier-Stokes equations, including space-time formulations that allow extra flexibility concerning grid design at the interface.

Space-time approaches offer some not-yet-fully-exploited advantages; among them, the potential to allow some degree of unstructured space-time meshing. A method for generating simplex space-time meshes has been developed, allowing arbitrary temporal refinement in selected portions of space-time slabs. The method increases the flexibility of space-time discretizations, even in the absence of dedicated space-time mesh generation tools. The resulting tetrahedral and pentatope meshes are being used in the context of cavity filling flow simulations, such as those necessary to design injection molding processes.

Hendrik Vogt, Fachbereich 3 - Mathematik, Universität Bremen, Postfach 330 440, Bibliothekstraße 5, 28359 Bremen

We show the existence of solutions of nonlinear non-autonomous Cauchy problems
$\partial_t u(t,x) - \nabla_x \cdot (a(t,x)\nabla_xu(t,x))= f(t,x,u(t,x),\nabla u(t,x)), \qquad u(0,\cdot)=u_0$
for a bounded open set $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^n$.
The coefficient matrix $a$ is supposed to be symmetric, uniformly elliptic,
Lipschitz continuous w.r.t.\ $t\in(0,\tau)$ and measurable w.r.t.\ $x\in\Omega$;
the nonlinearity $f$ is required to satisfy a linear growth condition.
We show that, given $u_0\in H_0^1(\Omega)$, there exists $u\in L_2(0,\tau;H_0^1(\Omega)) \cap H^1(0,\tau;L_2(\Omega))$ solving the problem mentioned above.

The proof relies on Schaefer's fixed point theorem. In the
course of the proof one uses maximal regularity properties of solutions of
inhomogeneous linear problems and compact embeddings of vector-valued Sobolev spaces.

The result partly generalises [ArCh10].

The talk is based on joint work with Wolfgang Arendt and Jürgen Voigt.

01/30/20 02:00 pm Room H - SBC5 - H0.04 Fractional derivatives and integrals as application of different functional calculi
Jan Meichsner, Institut für Mathematik (E-10), Lehrstuhl Angewandte Analysis

The question of possible generalisations of the operation of differentiation towards fractional powers can be traced back to a letter from L'Hospital to Leibniz in 1695 ([1]).
Since this time, mathematicians developed plenty of different approaches to fractional differentiation and integration generalising different aspects of the known theory.
The possibly most prominent examples are the fractional derivatives (and integrals) of Riemann-Liouville and Weyl ([4]).
Both can also be understood as instances of the sectorial functional calculus of sectorial operators as it was introduced in [2] and further promoted in [3].
Nonetheless, a direct use of the abstract techniques from operator theory seems to be rare in applications.
Therefore, the talk aims for introducing the audience in the basic principles of functional calculus and how to use it to recover the above mentioned instances of fractional derivatives.

Nils Hendrik Kröger, Deutsches Institut für Kautschuktechnologie e.V., Hannover, Eupener Straße 33, 30519 Hannover, Deutschland

Im Maschinen- und Automobilbau werden für mechanisch extrem beanspruchte, temperatur- und chemikalienbeständige Bauteile Elastomerwerkstoffe benötigt. Typische Beispiele sind Reifen, Zahn- und Keilriemen, Motor- und Aggregatelager, Luftfedern und Fahrwerkbuchsen sowie statisch und dynamisch beanspruchte Dichtungen. Die Anforderungen bezüglich Zuverlässigkeit und Leistungsdichte sind speziell in Verbindung mit den hochsensiblen, sicherheitsrelevanten Funktionen der Bauteile besonders hoch.
Insbesondere im Rahmen der Digitalisierung in der Produktion gewinnen Simulationsmodelle verstärkt an Bedeutung. Viele Verarbeitungsschritte in der Herstellung von Elastomerbauteilen beginnend mit dem Mischen, dem Walzen und der Extrusion oder des Spritzgießens, über die Vulkanisation beeinflussen die endgültigen mechanischen Eigenschaften. Im Laufe ihres Einsatzlebens verändern sich diese Eigenschaften auf Grund von thermo-oxidativer Alterung, so dass auch Lebensdauervorhersagen zur einer Herausforderung werden. Die zuverlässige Erstellung von „Digitalen Zwillingen“ für Elastomerbauteile bedarf so einer Beschreibung vieler auch untereinander gekoppelter Effekte.
Dieser Vortrag bietet Einblicke in verschiedene Modellierungsansätze einzelner Abschnitte des Leben von Elastomeren. Hauptfokus ist hierbei die Beschreibung der mechanischen Eigenschaften unter Berücksichtigung der Vernetzung und Alterung.

Positive Kernels provide methods to solve multivariate interpolation problems, but standard kernel methods usually lead to ill-conditioned linear systems. Therefore, a suitable choice of interpolation centers and basis functions reqiures particular care.

In this talk, i will give an introduction to kernel based approximation and discuss greedy point selection strategies, which will improve the stability of the interpolation method.
01/09/20 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 A tractable approach for 1-bit compressed sensing on manifolds
Sara Krause-Solberg, Institut für Mathematik (E-10), Lehrstuhl Angewandte Analysis

Compressed Sensing deals with reconstructing some unknown vector from few linear measurements in high dimension by additionally assuming sparsity, i.e. many entries are zero. Recent results guaranteed recovery even when just signs of the measurements are available (one-bit CS). A natural generalization of classical CS replaces sparse vectors by vectors lying on manifolds having low intrinsic dimension. In this talk I introduce the one-bit problem and proposes a tractable strategy to solve one-bit CS problems for data lying on manifolds. This is based on joint work with Johannes Maly and Mark Iwen.
12/19/19 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Parallel-in-Time PDE-constrained Optimization*
Dr. Sebastian Götschel, Zuse Institut Berlin (ZIB)

Large-scale optimization problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) occur in a multitude of applications, for example in inverse problems for non-destructive testing of materials and structures, or in individualized medicine. Algorithms for the numerical solution of such PDE-constrained optimization problems are computationally extremely demanding, as they require multiple PDE solves during the iterative optimization process. This is especially challenging for transient problems, where methods working on the reduced objective functional are often employed to avoid a full spatio-temporal discretization of the associated optimality system. The evaluation of the reduced gradient then requires one solve of the state equation forward in time, and one backward-in-time solve of the adjoint equation. In order to tackle real-life applications, it is not only essential to devise efficient discretization schemes, but also to use advanced techniques to exploit computer architectures and decrease the time-to-solution, which otherwise is prohibitively long.

One approach is to utilize the increasing number of CPU cores available in current computers. In addition to more common spatial parallelization, time-parallel methods are receiving increasing interest in the last years. There, iterative multilevel schemes such as PFASST (Parallel Full Approximation Scheme in Space and Time) are currently state of the art and achieve significant parallel efficiency. In this talk, we investigate approaches to use PFASST for the solution of parabolic optimal control problems. Besides enabling time parallelism, the iterative nature of the temporal integrators within PFASST provides additional flexibility for reducing the cost of solving nonlinear equations, re-using previous solutions in the optimization loop, and adapting the accuracy of state and adjoint solves to the optimization progress. We discuss benefits and difficulties, and present numerical examples.

This is joint work with Michael Minion (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab).

Prof. Dr. Philipp Neumann, Helmut-Schmidt-Universität

Molecular-continuum methods, as referred to in my talk, employ a domain decomposition and compute fluid flow either by means of molecular dynamics (MD) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the sub-domains. This enables multiscale investigations of nano- and microflows beyond the limits of validity of classical CFD.

In my talk, I will focus on latest developments in the macro-micro-coupling tool (MaMiCo). MaMiCo enables the coupling of arbitrary CFD and MD solvers, hiding the entire coupling algorithmics from the actual single-scale solvers. After a brief discussion of the limits of the MD method, I will focus on various aspects of the molecular-continuum coupling and its realization in MaMiCo, including parallelization, multi-instance sampling for MD (that is ensemble averaging) and filtering methods that extract smooth responses from the fluctuating MD description to enhance consistency on the side of the continuum solver. I will further present preliminary results from a study which aims to generate open boundary force models for MD using machine learning.
12/05/19 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 A new approach to the QR decomposition of hierarchical matrices
Vincent Griem

All existing QR decompositions for hierarchical matrices suffer from numerical drawbacks that limit their use in many applications. In this talk, I will present a new method based on the recursive WY-based QR decomposition by Elmroth and Gustavson. It is an extension of an already existing method for a subclass of hierarchical methods developed by Kressner and Susnjara.

I will try to keep things as simple as possible and give a short introduction to hierarchical matrices as well. Previous knowledge of hierarchical matrices is not necessary to understand the basic ideas and main obstacles of the new algorithm.

In the talk, we shall develop a general framework for the treatment of both deterministic and stochastic homogenisation problems for evolutionary equations. The versatility of the methods allow the unified treatment of static, dynamic as well as mixed type problems.
11/21/19 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Parallel-in-time integration with PFASST: from prototyping to applications
Robert Speck, Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Wilhelm-Johnen-Straße, 52428 Jülich

The efficient use of modern supercomputers has become one of the key challenges in computational science. New mathematical concepts are needed to fully exploit massively parallel architectures. For the numerical solution of time-dependent processes, time-parallel methods have opened new ways to overcome scaling limits. With the "parallel full approximation scheme in space and time" (PFASST), multiple time-steps can be integrated simultaneously. Based on spectral deferred corrections (SDC) methods and nonlinear multigrid ideas, PFASST uses a space-time hierarchy with various coarsening strategies to maximize parallel efficiency. In numerous studies, this approach has been used on up to 448K cores and coupled to space-parallel solvers with finite differences, spectral methods or even articles for discretization in space. Yet, since the integration of SDC or PFASST into an existing application code is not straightforward and the potential gain is typically uncertain, we will present in this talk our Python prototyping framework pySDC. It allows to rapidly test new ideas and to implement first toy problems more easily. We will also discuss the transition from pySDC to application-specific implementations and show recent use cases.

Daniel Ruprecht, TUHH, Institut für Mathematik, Lehrstuhl für Computational Mathematics, Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3, Gebäude E, 21073 Hamburg

The plasma in a fusion reactor is heated by neutral beam injection: injecting high energy neutrons which quickly ionize and swirl around in the reactor's magnetic fiel. Modelling this process requires solving the Lorentz equations numerically over long times (up to a second) with very small time steps (order of nanoseconds), which means very many time steps and thus long simulation times (from days up to a week). The talk will introduce GMRES-Boris-SDC (GBSDC), a new time stepping algorithm that can reduce computational cost compared to the currently used Boris method. The method is a potpourri of various numerical techniques, including the GMRES linear solver, spectral deferred corrections, the velocity Verlet scheme and the Boris trick. I will describe the algorithm and show examples of its performance for benchmarks with varying degree of realism.

This is joint work with Dr Krasymyr Tretiak, School of Mathematics, University of Leeds.

10/24/19 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Observability Estimates in Banach Spaces and Applications
Dennis Gallaun

In this talk we study sufficient conditions for obserability of systems in Banach spaces. In an abstract Banach space setting we show that an uncertainty relation together with a dissipation estimate implies an observability estimate with explicit dependence on the model parameters. Our approach unifies and generalizes the respective advantages from earlier results obtained in the context of Hilbert spaces. As an application we consider elliptic operators on Lp spaces. Combined with the well-known relation between observability and controllability we derive sufficient conditions for null-controllability and bounds on the control cost.
The talk is based on joint work with Christian Seifert and Martin Tautenhahn.

The main tool is the representation of vector-valued functions as linear continuous operators.

Sascha Trostorff, CAU Kiel, Arbeitsbereich Analysis, Ludewig-Meyn-Straße 4, 24098 Kiel

We consider differential-algebraic equations on (possibly) infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, that is, we consider equations of the form
\begin{align*}
u(0) & =u_{0},
\end{align*}
where $E,A$ are linear operators on a Hilbert space $H$ and $E$ is bounded and allowed to have a non-trivial kernel. These equations cannot have a unique solution for each $u_{0}\in H$ (just look at the case $E=0$). Thus, finding the right'' space of initial values arises as a natural question. Imposing growth conditions on the operator pencil
$z\mapsto(zE+A)^{-1}$
we determine the maximal space of admissible initial values. First, we treat the case of bounded $A$ and then generalise the results to the case of unbounded $A$. In particular, we discuss whether we can find a $C_{0}$-semigroup yielding the mild solutions of the above problem.

01/24/19 01:30 pm D1.024 On eventual regularity properties of operator valued functions*
Marco Peruzzetto, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Arbeitsbereich Analysis

For two Banach spaces $X,Y$ let $u:\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}\rightarrow \mathcal{L}(X;Y)$ be an operator valued function and $\mathtt{P}$ a regularity property. Assume that each orbit $t\mapsto u(t)x$ has the regularity property $\mathtt{P}$ on some interval $(t_x,\infty)$ in general depending on $x\in X$. In this paper we prove a Baire-type theorem, which allows to remove the dependency of $x$ in certain situations. Afterwards, we provide some applications which are of interest in semigroup theory. In particular, we generalize and explain the result obtained by Bárta in his article \emph{Two notes on eventually differentiable families of operators}'' (Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 51,1 (2010), 19-24).

12/06/18 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Challenges for drift-diffusion simulations of semiconductors: A comparative study of different discretization philosophies
Dirk Peschka, Weierstraß-Institut, Berlin

In this talk we present results of a comparative study, where we analyze and benchmark the error and the convergence order of finite difference, finite-element as well as Voronoi finite-volume discretization schemes for the drift-diffusion equations describing charge transport in bulk semiconductor devices, i.e., the van Roosbroeck system.

The relation between the quasi-Fermi levels and the densities of electrons and holes is given by the equation of state. Three common challenges, that can corrupt the precision of numerical solutions of the van Roosbroeck system, will be discussed: boundary layers of the quasi-Fermi potentials at Ohmic contacts, discontinuties in the doping profile, and corner singularities in L-shaped domains. The influence on the order of convergence is assessed for each computational challenge and the different discretization schemes. Additionally, we provide an analysis of the inner boundary layer asymptotics near Ohmic contacts to support our observations.
12/06/18 10:00 am Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Hot spots of quantum graphs
Jonathan Rohleder, Matematiska institutionen, Stockholms universitet

The Hot Spots Conjecture of J. Rauch asserts that the hottest and coldest points of an insulated body should move towards its boundary for large times, if the insulation is perfect. Via the semigroup associated with the Neumann Laplacian this reduces to proving that maximum and minimum of the eigenfunction(s) associated with the smallest positive eigenvalue are located on the boundary. This conjecture is not true in full generality but is currently open, for example, for convex domains.

In this talk we will examine the corresponding question on metric graphs: for the Laplacian on a finite metric graph with standard (continuity and Kirchhoff) vertex conditions we consider the possible distribution of maxima and minima of eigenfunctions associated with the smallest nonzero eigenvalue. Among other things, we give examples to show that the usual notion of “boundary” of a metric graph, namely the set of vertices of degree one, has limited relevance for determining the “hottest” and “coldest” parts of a graph.

This is joint work with James Kennedy (Lisbon).
11/29/18 02:00 pm D1.024 Approximation techniques for passive mechanical control systems*
Ines Dorschky, Fachbereich Mathematik, Universität Hamburg

In this talk we study approximation techniques for input-output systems, which appear in the modeling process of mechanical systems. So, the focus will be on linear dynamical systems with a second derivative term.
These system can become very large in practice and therefore, expensive to be used for simulations and controller design.
Since this frequently happens to all control systems coming from real-live application, model order reduction became a major field in control theory over the last decades.
Here however, beside approximating the input-output behavior of the original system, the special structure should be preserved in the reduced-order model.
So far, reduction techniques designed for the linearized model fail in this aspect. On the other hand, there is a wide variety of methods that directly treat the second order control system. However, up to this point none of those methods deliver reasonable error-bounds for the approximation.
In this talk an approximation method is presented for the special class of passive mechanical systems. Roughly speaking passivity for control systems means that the system itself cannot produce energy. For this class the special canonical structure, given by so called Jordan triples for matrix polynomials, can be exploited.
In the end an error bound in the gap metric will be derived. The gap metric is used as a measure for the distance of two linear systems. It is defined via the distance of the closed subspaces of stable trajectories corresponding to zero initial conditions of the systems. Hence, the gap metric error-bound ensures the quality of the approximation of the state/signal system.

Mirjana Mikalacki, University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Mathematics and Informatics

Abstract
We study two standard biased (1 : b) Maker-Breaker positional games
| the Perfect Matching game and the Hamilton Cycle game, played on
the edge set of the complete graph on n vertices, Kn. Given Breaker's bias
b, possibly depending on n, our goal is to determine the minimal number
of moves in which Maker can win in each of these two graph games.

This is joint work with Miloš Stojakovic.
11/22/18 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Chernoff approximation of operator semigroups
Yana Kinderknecht, Universität des Saarlandes, Fb. Mathematik

In this talk we outline classical connections between such mathematical objects as operator semigroups, evolution equations and Markov processes. Further, we present a method to approximate operator semigroups with the help of the Chernoff theorem. Many \emph{Chernoff approximations} lead to representations of solutions of (corresponding) evolution equations in the form of limits of $n$-fold iterated integrals of elementary functions when $n$ tends to infinity. Such representations are called \emph{Feynman formulae}. They can be used for direct computations, modelling of the related dynamics, simulation of underlying stochastic processes.
In some cases, Chernoff approximations can be understood as a version of the operator splitting method (known in the numerics of PDEs); some Feynman formulae provide Euler--Maruyama schemes for SDEs. Moreover, the limits in Feynman formulae sometimes coincide with path integrals with respect to probability measures (\emph{Feynman-Kac formulae}) or with respect to Feynman type pseudomeasures (\emph{Feynman path integrals}). It is planned to discuss different Chernoff approximations for semigroups corresponding to some Markov processes (e.g., subordinate Feller diffusions on star graphs and Riemannian manifolds) and for Schr\''{o}dinger groups.
Furthermore, the constructed Chernoff approximations for operator semigroups can be used to approximate solutions of some time-fractional evolution equations describing anomalous diffusion (solutions of such equations do not posess the semigroup property).
11/21/18 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Domino towers (Including: How to count stuff using generating functions)
Alexander Haupt

The original problem of counting domino towers was first studied by G. Viennot in 1985, see also D. Zeilberger (The Amazing 3^n Theorem). We analyse a generalisation of domino towers that was proposed by T. M. Brown (J. Integer Seq. 20.3 (2017), Art. 17.3.1), which we call S-omino towers. After establishing an equation that the generating function must satisfy and applying the Lagrange Inversion Formula, we find a closed formula for the number of towers.

The talk should hopefully also be accessible to people not used to this kind of mathematics.
11/15/18 02:00 pm D1.024 Observability for Systems in Banach spaces - Part II*
Christian Seifert

This talk is divided into two parts. The first part will be given on Thursday 08.11.18 by Dennis Gallaun.
In this talk we study sufficient conditions for obserability of systems in Banach spaces. In an abstract Banach space setting we show that an uncertainty relation together with a dissipation estimate implies an obserbability estimate with explicite dependence on the model parameters. Our approach unifies and generalizes the respective advantages from earlier results obtained in the context of Hilbert spaces. As an application we consider elliptic operators on Lp(Rd) and on Lp(Td) for 1 < p < ∞. Combined with the well-known relation between observability and controllability we derive sufficient conditions for null-controllability and bounds on the control cost.

10/18/18 01:45 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Series representations in spaces of vector-valued functions*
Karsten Kruse

It is a classical result that every $\mathbb{C}$-valued holomorphic function has a local power series representation.
This even remains true for holomorphic functions with values in a locally complete locally convex Hausdorff space $E$ over
$\mathbb{C}$. Motivated by this example we try to answer the following question. Let $E$ be a locally convex Hausdorff space
over a field $\mathbb{K}$, $\mathcal{FV}(\Omega)$ be a locally convex Hausdorff space of $\mathbb{K}$-valued functions on a set $\Omega$ and $\mathcal{FV}(\Omega,E)$ be an $E$-valued counterpart of $\mathcal{FV}(\Omega)$
(where the term $E$-valued counterpart needs clarification itself).
For which spaces is it possible to lift series representations of elements of $\mathcal{FV}(\Omega)$ to elements of $\mathcal{FV}(\Omega,E)$?
We derive sufficient conditions for the answer to be affirmative which are applicable for many classical spaces of functions
$\mathcal{FV}(\Omega)$ having a Schauder basis.

Prof. Dr. Jennifer Ryan, Mathematics, University of East Anglia

Smoothness-Increasing Accuracy-Conserving (SIAC) filters for Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are designed to increase the smoothness and improve the convergence rate of the DG solution form p+1 to 2p+1 through post-processing. However, introducing these filters can be challenging for multi-dimensional data since a tensor product filter grows in support size as the field dimension increases [(3p+2)*h]^d, where p + the polynomial order and d is the dimension. This becomes computationally prohibitive as the dimension increases. An alternative approach is to utilize a one-dimensional univariate filter. In this talk we introduce the Line SIAC filter and explore how the orientation, structure and filter size affect the order of accuracy and global errors. We show how line filtering preserves the properties of traditional tensor product filtering, including smoothness and improvement in the convergence rate, given an appropriate rotation. Furthermore, numerical experiments are included, exhibiting how these filters achieve the same accuracy at significantly lower computational costs.

Martin Tautenhahn, TU Chemnitz, Fakultät für Mathematik

This talk is divided into two. In the first part we discuss a so-called scale-free and quantitative unique continuation principle for spectral projectors of Schr\''odinger operators.
Let $\Omega = \Lambda_L = (-L,L)^d$ or $\Omega = \mathbb{R}^d$, and $H = -\Delta + V$ be a Schr\''odinger operator on $L^2 (\Omega)$ with a bounded potential $V$. If $\Omega = \Lambda_L$ we impose Dirichlet, Neumann, or periodic boundary conditions. The unique continuation principle states that for any $E \geq 0$, and any $\phi \in \operatorname{Ran} \chi_{(-\infty , E]} (H)$ we have
\label{quc}
\lVert \phi \rVert_{L^2 (\Omega)}^2 \leq C_{\rm sfuc} \lVert \chi_{S_\delta \cap \Omega} \phi \rVert_{L^2 (\Omega)}^2,

where $S_\delta \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a union of equidistributed $\delta$-balls, and $C_{\rm sfuc} = C_{\rm sfuc} (d , E ,\allowbreak \delta , \lVert V \rVert)$ some explicitly given constant.
\par
In the second part of the talk we will discuss an applications thereof to control theory. On the time interval $[0,T]$ we consider the controlled heat equation
\label{eq:parabolic}
\partial_t u + H u = f\chi_{S_\delta \cap \Omega} ,

where $u,f \in L^2([0,T] \times \Omega)$, and $u (0,\cdot) \in L^2 (\Omega)$.
Note that the control function $f$ acts on the set $S_\delta$ only. Our aim is to study null-controllability in time $T > 0$, i.e.\ there is a control function $f$ such that $u(T,\cdot) = 0$. We provide explicit estimates on the costs of the form $\lVert f \rVert_{L^2([0,T]\times \Omega )} \leq C \lVert u_0 \rVert_{L^2 (\Omega)}$.

Benedikt Diederichs, Fachbereich Mathematik, Universität Hamburg

Prony's problem - estimating the frequencies of an exponential sum - and its higher dimensional
analogs have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. A somewhat neglected question is whether
this problem is well-posed. In this talk, some results in this direction will be presented.
We start by giving a brief introduction to stability in compressed sensing. Compressed sensing is
concerned with solving nite dimensional linear systems under a priori sparsity assumptions. Stability
follows from the so-called restricted isometric property (RIP) of the system matrix.
We then discuss sparse frequency estimation. Due to the continuous nature, proving an analogue of
the RIP is more dicult. To this end, we briey introduce specic functions, which are well localized
in the spatial and frequency domain. Then we deduce stability results as well as a posteriori error
estimates.
This talk is based on joint work with Armin Iske.

Albrecht Seelmann, Fakultät für Mathematik - Technische Universität Dortmund

In [Doc. Math. 4 (1999),275--283], Griesemer, Lewis, and Siedentop devised an abstract minimax principle for eigenvalues in spectral gaps of perturbed self-adjoint operators. We show that this minimax principle can be adapted to the particular situation of bounded additive perturbations with hypotheses that are easier to check in this case. The latter is demonstrated in the framework of the Davis-Kahan sin(2\Theta) theorem.

This talked is based on joint work with I. Nakic, M. Täufer, M. Tautenhahn, and I. Veselic.

model, with a focus on Minami's estimate and its applications. In
particular it implies Poissonian local eigenvalue statistics, which
is believed to be a characteristic feature of spectrally localized
quantum mechanical systems. In the second part of the talk I'll
present our main technical result, a level-spacing estimate for
continuum random Schrödinger operators, and argue why it implies
Poissonian local eigenvalue statistics. If time permits I'll comment
on the proof's methods.

We are going to discuss (again) the approach of describing fractional powers of linear operators on

Laplacian. Even though useful it is still an open problem whether this is possible for all sectorial
operators and, if so, whether it is unique.
The presented content is work in progress.

The study of electromagnetic fields in 2D circuits often leads to resonances. We use a polynomial chaos expansion (due to uncertain circuit parameters), which is analytically and numerically troublesome near the resonance frequencies. As a toy model for the convergence of the polynomial chaos expansion, we look at the parallel RLC circuit with uncertain capacitance and give $L^2$ error bounds depending on the degree of the expansion, the random distribution, the distance to resonance and the so-called quality factor of the circuit (which is a measure for the damping).

Michael Wende

Interpolationsaufgaben mit radialen Basisfunktionen fuehren auf vollbesetzte Sattelpunktprobleme, deren iterative Loesung eine Praekonditionierung erfordert. Die Systemmatrizen koennen als H-Matrizen approximiert und fuer die Konstruktion algebraischer Praekonditionierer verwendet werden. Als Praekonditionierer verwenden wir die Nullraummethode sowie ein Gebietszerlegungsverfahren. Mittels der Nullraummethode kann die Loesung des indefiniten Systems im Wesentlichen auf die Loesung eines positiv definiten Systems geringfügig kleinerer Groesse zurueckgefuehrt werden. Die positiv definiten Systeme koennen mit einer approximativen Cholesky-Zerlegung in der Arithmetik hierarchischer Matrizen praekonditioniert werden. Kleinere Probleme werden auf diese Art zufriedenstellend geloest, aber fuer groessere Punktzahlen nimmt die Effektivität der Cholesky-Praekonditionierung ab.
Im Gebietszerlegungsverfahren wird die Kombination aus Nullraummethode und Cholesky-Praekondiitonierung nur in jedem Teilgebiet angewendet und das globale System mit einer aeusseren GMRes-Iteration geloest. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Gebietszerlegung liegt in der Parallelisierbarkeit der Konstruktion des Praekonditionierers.

Magda Khalile, Université Paris-Sud

Let \Omgea\subseteq\R^2 be a curvilinear polygon and Q_\Omega^\gamma be the Laplacian in L_2(\Omega) with the Robin boundary condition \partial_\nu \psi = \gamma \psi, where \partial_\nu is the outer normal derivative and \gamma>0. We are interested in the behavior of the eigenvalues of Q_\Omega^\gamma as \gamma becomes large. We prove that there exists N_\Omega \in\N such that the asymptotics of the N_\Omega first eigenvalues of Q_\Omega^\gamma is determined at the leading order by those of model operators associated with the vertices: the Robin Laplacians acting on the tangent sectors associated with \partial\Omega. In the particular case of a polygon with straight edges the N_\Omega first eigenpairs are exponentially close to those of the model operators. Moreover, if the polygon admits only non-resonant or concave corners, we prove that, for any fixed j\in\N, the N_\Omega+j eigenvalue E_{N_\Omega+j}(Q_\Omega^\gamma) behaves as E_{N_\Omega+j}(Q_\Omega^\gamma) = -\gamma^2+\mu_j^D+o(1) as \gamma\to\infty, where \mu_j^D stands for the jth eigenvalue of the operator D_1\oplus\ldots\oplus D_M and Dn denotes the one-dimensional Laplacian on (0,l_n), where l_n is the length of the nth side of \Omega, with the Dirichlet boundary condition. Finally, we prove a Weyl asymptotics for the eigenvalue
counting function of Q_\Omega^\gamma for a threshold depending on \gamma, and show that the leading term is the same as for smooth domains.

Christian Kühn

Ist S ein symmetrischer Operator in einem Hilbertraum, so stellt sich oft die Frage, welche selbstadjungierten Erweiterungen der Operator S hat und ob sich Aussagen über die Spektren (beispielsweise über die Eigenwerte) dieser Erweiterungen machen lassen. Ein mathematisches Konzept, welches hierbei hilfreich sein kann, ist das Konzept der Randtripel. Dabei stellt es sich als hilfreich heraus, nicht nur Operatoren sondern auch lineare Relationen (''mehrwertige Operatoren'') zu betrachten.

Der Vortrag soll einen einführenden Charakter haben. Es werden also die grundlegenden Definitionen und Sätze angegeben und anhand von einfachen Beispielen illustriert.

Martin Gebert, King's College London

We prove a locally uniform lower bound on the density of states of continuum random Schrödinger operators in the localised regime. The main technical ingredient is a new bound on the expectation of the spectral shift function for random Schrödinger operators in the localised regime, corresponding to a change from Dirichlet to Neumann boundary conditions along the boundary of a finite volume. The bound scales with the surface area. (Joint with Adrian Dietlein, Abel Klein, Peter Hislop, Peter Müller)

Wir beiden stellen uns und unsere Masterarbeiten jeweils kurz vor.

Im ersten Vortrag (von Vincent Griem) geht es um gewichtete positiv definite Kernel und
ihre Anwendung in der Interpolation. Nach einer kleinen Einführung in
die Interpolation durch positiv definite Funktionen wird die
Erweiterung durch zusätzliche Gewichtsfunktionen vorgestellt und der Einfluss und mögliche
Nutzen dieses Vorgehens untersucht. Es wird insbesondere eine
Verbindung zum diagonalen Skalieren zur Verbesserung der Kondition
einer Matrix hergestellt. Abschließend folgen noch einige numerische
Beispiele.

Im zweiten Vortrag (von Willi Leinen) geht es um die Simulation des Kühlvorgangs eines
Fluid-gefüllten Behälters mit OpenFOAM. Dabei werden einerseits
die mathematischen Grundlagen der Simulation, wie z.B. die
Finite-Volumen-Methode sowie die PDEs zur Modellierung von Wärmeleitung
und Strömung, vorgestellt. Andererseits wird auf die Software OpenFOAM,
mit deren Hilfe die Simulation durchgeführt wurde, eingegangen. Als
Anwendungsbeispiel wird die Kühlung einer Weinflasche im Gefrierschrank
untersucht. Zum Abschluss werden die numerischen Ergebnisse
der Simulation vorgestellt.

Dr. Patricio Farrell, Weierstrass Institut, Berlin

Partial differential equations model a wide range of physical phenomena.
Unfortunately, most of them cannot be solved directly, making it necessary
to develop efficient and robust numerical solution methods. In this talk,
we focus on two different ones: Radial basis functions (RBFs) and finite volume
methods (FVM). The former allow to solve differential equations without the
cumbersome generation of a grid. Moreover, RBFs can be used to improve flawed grids.
The latter are particularly useful in the context of semiconductor device simulation.
They yield robust numerical solutions even in the presence of boundary layers. The presented
finite volume scheme additionally satisfies a discrete maximum principle, just like the
continuous semiconductor equations (the van Roosbroeck system).
01/26/17 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 The need for linear system solvers in dispersive wave modeling*
Jörn Behrens, UHH

Tsunami modeling is - to first (and very accurate) approximation - performed with the help of shallow water theory and equations. This is still the method of choice for many applications, including forecasting, hazard assessment and inundation modeling. However, for long propagation distances as well as highly nonuniform topographies dispersive effects become important. While truly dispersive model equations are fully three-dimensional and therefore expensive with respect to computational requirements, a common approach to dispersive modeling comprises a non-hydrostatic correction of shallow water equations. In order to derive this correction term, a linear system of equations needs to be solved in each time step - even when the time-stepping scheme is explicit.

In the presentation we will introduce the basic modeling concepts for tsunami simulation, will show the derivation of non-hydrostatic correction terms and motivate further research on solvers for linear systems of equations.
01/19/17 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Convergence of positive operator semigroups
Moritz Gerlach, Universität Potsdam

We give new conditions for strong convergence of positive operator
semigroups as time tends to infinity. This is achieved by a new approach
that combines the splitting theorem by Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg
with a purely algebraic result about positive group representations.
Thus, we obtain convergence theorems not only for one-parameter
semigroups but also for a much larger class of semigroup representations
without any continuity or regularity assumption in time.
In particular, this generalizes results from the literature that, under
technical assumptions, a bounded positive strongly continuous semigroup
that contains or dominates a kernel operator converges strongly as time
tends to infinity. One can also derive a generalization of a famous
theorem by Doob for operator semigroups on the space of measures.

12/13/16 03:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 The essential spectrum of Toeplitz operators on the unit disk
Raffael Hagger, Leibniz Universität Hannover

Consider the usual function space L^2(D) on the unit disk D and
the (closed) subspace of holomorphic functions A^2(D). An important class of bounded
linear operators arises by restricting multiplication operators M_f on L^2(D) to A^2(D). More
precisely, if P denotes the orthogonal projection onto A^2(D), one considers operators of
the form PM_f in A^2(D), so-called Toeplitz operators. In this talk we are going to study the
essential spectrum of these Toeplitz operators. It is a classical result that if the defining
symbol f is continuous up to the boundary, the essential spectrum can be obtained by
evaluating f at the boundary. As it turns out, this statement can be generalized to more
general symbols by using techniques that were developed to solve a similar problem on
the sequence space \ell^2(\Z).

07/20/16 02:00 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (E), Room 3.074 Efficient and Accurate Evaluation of Aggregation Integrals in Population Balance Equations

The behaviour of particulate flow is mathematically modelled by population balance equations. The various terms of the equation model phenomena including particle transport, nucleation, growth, and aggregation. Their efficient numerical simulation requires sophisticated techniques, and various approaches proposed in the literature vary not only in computational complexity but also in the accuracy of the computed solutions. We will focus on the numerical treatment of aggregation integrals, the terms that model the aggregation process and which oftentimes dominate the overall simulation time. Within such a process, particles are characterized by a property coordinate x, e.g. the particle mass, the particle area, or the chemical composition, to mention only a few, and their distribution is quantified by a density distribution function f(x,t), which describes the property distribution of the particles at a given time t.

First, we discuss the evaluation of univariate aggregation integrals, where only one of particle characteristics is considered, and we discretise the property coordinate x through equidistant grids and approximate the density distribution f(x,t) through piecewise constant functions. Then, we extend the approach to grids with nested structures and approximation the density distribution through higher order polynomials (of degree p), which allow a better approximation. This novel approach reduces the quadratic complexity of its direct computation to an almost optimal complexity of order pNlogN with the problem size N. Furthermore, we also discuss examples of bivariate problems, where also a second property of particles is considered.

The key components of the developed algorithms are a separable approximation of the aggregation kernel, a nested grid consisting of piecewise uniform portions, application of FFT to compute the aggregation (convolution) on such uniform portions and orthogonality of basis functions which in combination lead to efficient recursion formulas. We provide extensive numerical tests for different initial setups to illustrate the performance of the developed algorithms with respect to their accuracy and efficiency, leading to (heuristic) strategies for the choice of discretization parameters.

Michael Wende

Scattered data interpolation refers to an interpolation problem where the data sites are distributed irregularly within some domain. An interpolant may be constructed as a linear combination of radial basis functions centered at the data sites. Finding the coefficients in this representation leads to linear equations where the system matrices are large, dense, indefinite and ill-conditioned. These matrices can be approximated using the framework of hierarchical matrices. We will compare different approximation methods and discuss how to construct algebraic preconditioners.

Es werden große dünnbesetzte Sattelpunktprobleme betrachtet, wie sie z.B. in der Strömungsmechanik auftreten. Diese i.A. unsymmetrischen und indefiniten Systeme können mittels iterativer Krylovraum-Verfahren, inkl. geeigneter Präkonditionierer, gelöst werden. Insbesondere werden sogenannte induzierte Dimensions-Reduktions-Methoden (IDR), im Speziellen QMRIDR(s), verwendet, welche zusätzlich mit einem Deflationsansatz gepaart werden. Dabei werden Informationen aus früheren Durchläufen derart recycelt, sodass es möglich ist, Sequenzen von linearen Systemen effektiv zu lösen. Als Beispiel werden die diskretisierten Oseen-Gleichungen betrachtet; weitere Anwendung kann dies darüber hinaus z.B. bei inneren Punkte-Verfahren in der linearen Optimierung finden.
07/04/16 04:15 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3 (A), Room A 1.19.1 Oscillation in a posteriori error estimation
Andreas Veeser, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita degli Studi di Milano

The goal of an a posteriori error analysis for an approximate PDE
solution is to establish the equivalence of error and a posteriori
estimator. Unfortunately, this equivalence is often only up to so-
called oscillation terms.

In this talk we shall clarify the reasons for the presence of
oscillation. Moreover, we propose a new approach to a posteriori error
estimation, where oscillation can be bounded by the error and so does
not longer spoil the aforementioned equivalence.

This is joint work with Christian Kreuzer (Bochum).

Dr Andrea Moiola, University of Reading

We present a space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for linear
wave propagation problems.
The special feature of the scheme is that it is a Trefftz method,
namely that trial and test functions are solution of the partial
differential equation to be discretised in each element of the
(space-time) mesh.
The DG scheme is defined for unstructured meshes whose internal faces
need not be aligned to the space-time axes.
The Trefftz approach can be used to improve and ease the
implementation of explicit schemes based on tent-pitched'' meshes.
We show that the scheme is well-posed, quasi-optimal and dissipative,
and prove a priori error bounds for general Trefftz discrete spaces.
A concrete discretisation can be obtained using piecewise polynomials
that satisfy the wave equation elementwise, for which we show high
orders of convergence.
If time allows, we will describe a similar Trefftz-DG method for the
Helmholtz equation, i.e. wave equation in time-harmonic regime, for
which non-polynomial basis functions are used and quite a complete
theory has been established.

04/26/16 04:15 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3, Building A, Room A.0.01 und A.3.31 Solving the Vlasov equation in low-rank tensor format*
Dr. Katharina Kormann, Technische Universität München, Zentrum Mathematik - M16, Boltzmannstraße 3, 85747 Garching, Germany

The evolution of a plasma in external and self-consistent fields is modelled by the Vlasov equation for the distribution function in six dimensional phase space. Due to the high dimensionality and the development of small structures the numerical solution is very challenging. Grid-based methods
for the Vlasov equation have been shown to give accurate results but their use has mostly been limited to simulations in two or four dimensional phase space due to extensive memory requirements in higher dimensions. Compression of the solution via high-order singular value decomposition can help in reducing the storage requirements and the hierarchical Tucker format provides efficient basic linear algebra routines for low-rank representations of tensors.

In this talk, I will present a semi-Lagrangian scheme for the solution of the Vlasov equation represented as a low-parametric tensor. Interpolation formulas for the low-parametric tensor format as well as efficient implementations will be discussed. Numerical simulations for the Vlasov-Poisson equation are shown for the Landau damping test case in two, four, and six dimensional phase space as well as simulations with a constant magnetic field. Depending on the test case, the memory
requirements reduce by a factor $10^2$-$10^3$ in four and a factor $10^5$-$10^6$ in six dimensions compared to the full-grid method.

01/28/16 03:30 pm Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 1 (A), A1.20 Auxiliary Space Methods for Variational Problems in H{curl)*
Ralf Hiptmair, ETH Zürich

Auxiliary space preconditioning targets elliptic boundary value problems discetized by means of finite elements. The idea is to use a related discrete boundary value problem, for which efficient solvers are available, as a preconditioner. The connection between both problems is established by means of a suitable prolongation operator.

We apply this strategy to variational problems for the bilinear form $(\alpha(x)\cdot,\cdot)_0+(\beta(x)curl\cdot,curl\cdot)_0$ ($\alpha,\beta$ uniformly positive coefficient functions) posed on the function space $H(curl)$ (or $H_0(curl)$).
These are commonly encountered in magneto-quasistatic models for electromagnetic phenomena (eddy current models). Finite element Galerkin discretization usually relies on Nedelec's $H(curl)$-conforming edge elements, but discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are a viable option, too. In any case, one faces large sparse linear systems of equations, for which efficient preconditioners are badly needed. Three settings will be discussed:

I) When edge elements are used on a single unstructured mesh, coarser meshes needed for the application of geometric multigrid solvers may not be available. They may be easy to construct, however, for a semi-structured mesh, suggesting the use of an auxiliary edge element space on that mesh.
II) In the same setting as (I), algebraic multigrid methods (AMG) could look promising. Alas, AMG schemes for edge finite element discretizations that match the performance of those for $H^{1}$-conforming finite elements are not available. To harness standard nodal AMG schemes one may use an auxiliary space of continuous piecewise polynomial vectorfields.
III) Using a DG discretization on a standard triangulation, which may be required in the context of magneto-hydrodynamics, an edge element space may serve as auxiliary space.

For all these cases we present theoretical results about the performance of the preconditioner with focus on $h$-independence and robustness with respect to jumps of the coefficients. The main ideas needed to verify the abstract assumptions of the theory of auxiliary space preconditioning will be outlined.

Prof. Lothar Reichel, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Kent State University, Ohio, USA

The standard Arnoldi method is one of the most popular schemes for reducing a large matrix A to a small one. The method requires the evaluation of matrix-vector products with A. Rational Arnoldi methods reduce the matrix A by both evaluating matrix-vector products and solving linear systems of equations with A. Rational Arnoldi methods are attractive to use when A has a structure that allows efficient solution linear systems of equations with A. They are commonly applied to the computation of an invariant subspace of A and to the approximation of matrix functions. We discuss implementations of rational Arnoldi methods and compares their properties.

Felix Schwenninger, Twente

A linear operator $T$ on a Banach space is called Tadmor-Ritt if its spectrum is contained in the closed unit disc and the resolvent satisfies $C(T)=\sup_{|z|>1} \|(z-1)R(z,T)\|<\infty$. Such operators can be seen as discrete analog for sectorial operators.
We prove corresponding $H^{\infty}$-functional calculus estimates, which generalize and improve results by Vitse. Moreover, they are in conformity with the best so-far known power-bound for Tadmor-Ritt operators in terms of the constant $C(T)$.
We furthermore show the effect of having discrete square function estimates on the derived estimates.

Peter Allen, London School of Economics, UK

We say a graph $G$ is universal for a set of graphs $\mathcal{H}$ if for each $H\in\mathcal{H}$ we have $H\subset G$. There are several results stating that the random graph $G(n,p)$ is universal for various classes of graphs $\mathcal{H}$, for appropriate functions $p=p(n)$. In order for $p$ not to be very close to one, we need the graphs in $\mathcal{H}$ to be quite sparse. There are then (at least) three natural graph classes one could consider: trees, graphs with bounded degree, and graphs with bounded degeneracy. I will outline the current state of knowledge (mainly due to other people) and sketch one or two proofs

04/09/15 04:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 On the spectrum of certain random operators: A link to Julia sets
Raffael Hagger

After the introduction of random matrices to nuclear physics by Eugene Wigner in 1955, random quantum systems have grown in popularity. Wigner's idea was to consider families of Hamiltonians that underlie a certain probability distribution to describe overly complicated systems. Of particular interest are, of course, the spectra of these Hamiltonians. In this talk we consider random, in general non-self-adjoint, tridiagonal operators on the Hilbert space of square-summable sequences. To model randomness, we use an approach by Davies that eliminates all probabilistic arguments.

Despite the rising interest, not much is known about the spectra of non-self-adjoint random operators. The Feinberg-Zee random hopping matrix reveals this in a beautiful manner. The boundary of its spectrum appears to be fractal, but a proof has not been found yet. While we can not give a proof either, we present a reason why this is very plausible. Certain tridiagonal operators share remarkable symmetries that allow us to enlarge known subsets of the spectrum by sizeable amounts. In some cases like the Feinberg-Zee random hopping matrix, this implies that the spectrum contains an infinite sequence of Julia sets.
03/19/15 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 Orthogonalization with a non-standard inner product and approximate inverse preconditioning*
Miro Rozložník, Institute of Computer Science, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic

One of the most important and frequently used preconditioning techniques for solving symmetric positive definite systems is based on computing the approximate inverse factorizations. It is also a well-known fact that such factors can be computed column-wise by the orthogonalization process applied to the unit basis vectors provided that we use a non-standard inner product induced by the positive definite system matrix A. In this contribution we consider the classical Gram-Schmidt algorithm (CGS), the modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm (MGS) and also yet another variant of sequential orthogonalization, which is motivated originally by the AINV preconditioner and which uses oblique projections.

The orthogonality between computed vectors is crucial for the quality of the preconditioner constructed in the approximate inverse factorization. While for the case of the standard inner product there exists a complete rounding error analysis for all main orthogonalization schemes, the numerical properties of the schemes with a non-standard inner product are much less understood. We will formulate results on the loss of orthogonality and on the factorization error for all previously mentioned orthogonalization schemes.

This contribution is joint work with Jiří Kopal (Technical University Liberec), Miroslav Tůma and Alicja Smoktunowicz (Warsaw University of Technology).

Die von Peter Sonneveld erdachten Methoden, allen voran die neueste, IDR(s), können zur approximativen Eigenwertberechnung linearer Operatoren herangezogen werden. Im Gegensatz zu klassischen Krylovraumverfahren, welche Tridiagonal- oder Hessenbergmatrizen berechnen, berechnen Sonneveld-Methoden Büschel aus einer Band-Hessenbergmatrix und einer oberen Band-Dreiecksmatrix, von denen einige Eigenwerte bekannt sind. Basierend auf einer trivialen Beobachtung präsentieren wir Wege, die anderen Eigenwerte stabil zu berechnen.

PhD Guilherme Mota, Departamento de Ciência da Computação, Instituto de Matemática e Estatística - IME, USP, Brasil

Abstract:
We study the Decomposition Conjecture posed by Barát and Thomassen (2006), which states that for every tree T there exists a natural number k_T such that, if G is a k_T-edge-connected graph and |E(T)| divides |E(G)|, then G admits a decomposition into copies of T. This conjecture was verified for stars, some bistars, paths whose length is a power of 2, and paths of length 3. We verify the Decomposition Conjecture for paths of length 5. In this talk I will discuss the ideas behind the proof of this result.

Peter Heinig, Uni HH, FSP Diskrete Mathematik, Bundesstr. 55 (Geomatikum) 20146 Hamburg

Abstract:
The following is NP-hard in general:
given an edge-weighted finite graph and a set of special vertices,
compute a minimum-weight set of edges whose removal disconnects
any special vertex from any other special vertex.
Very efficient algorithms via LP-duality are known for natural subsets of graphs, though,
such as finite trees. Basic theoretical duality-type questions remain open for infinite trees.
To prepare for future talks on the problems about infinite trees,
I will explain an efficient algorithm solving the problem for finite trees.

12/05/14 02:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 H²-matrix methods for boundary integral equations*
Steffen Börm, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel

Boundary integral equations are an important tool for analyzing elliptic partial differential equations arising, e.g., in structural mechanics or the simulation of acoustic or electromagnetic fields. Standard discretization techniques lead to large and densely populated matrices that require special algorithms.

The H²-matrix method offers efficient compression schemes for large matrices and can also perform algebraic operations like multiplication, inversion or factorization directly on the compressed matrices.

This talk gives an introduction to the basic concepts of H²-matrices and routlines two recent results: the Green hybrid compression scheme can be used to construct compressed approximations of discretized boundary element systems. Preconditioners for these systems can be constructed by applying a sequence of local low-rank updates to H²-matrices.

11/13/14 03:30 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 93, Room A1.20 Recursive Low-Rank Truncation*
Wolfgang Hackbusch, Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften

The best approximation of a matrix by a low-rank matrix can be obtained by the singular value decomposition. For large-sized matrices this approach is too costly. Instead one may use a block decomposition. Approximating the smaller
block matrices by low-rank matrices and agglomerating them into a new, coarser
block decomposition, one obtains a recursive method. The required computation work is O(rnm) where r is the desired rank and n x m is the size of the matrix. New estimates are presented for the errors A-B and M-A,
where A is the result of the recursive truncation applied to M, while B is the best approximation.
11/10/14 04:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 Homogenization meets Operator-Theory
Marcus Waurick, TU Dresden

Homogenization theory comprises the study of heterogeneous
materials. In mathematical terms this goes along with the discussion of
differential equations with oscillatory coefficients and the behavior of the
respective solutions, when the oscillations become infinitely fast. The aim in homogenization theory is to show convergence of the solutions for infinitely fast oscillations and to find an effective equation satisfied by the limit. In a Hilbert space setting, we discuss homogenization of ordinary differential equations and give an operator-theoretic reason, when it is likely that the limit equation is of integro-differential type -- in contrast to the equation one started out with. We also discuss possible generalizations to non-autonomous and/or partial differential equations.

In this talk, we discuss our recent progress on the famous directed cycle double cover conjecture of Jaeger. We define the class of trigraphs and prove that a graph connections conjecture formulated on trigraphs implies general Jaeger's conjecture. In addition, we give supporting evidence for our conjecture. This is joint work with Martin Loebl.
08/04/14 09:00 am Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 Searching for defective subsets using queries of fixed size
Dominik Vu, University of Memphis

Given an $n$-element set which contains a known number $d$ of unknown special elements, we are allowed to use an oracle which accepts queries of size $k$ and responds positively if at least one of the elements of the queried set is in our set of unknowns. The case of a single unknown element has been studied and solved in the past by Rényi (1961), Katona (1966) and more recently by Hosszu, Tapolcai and Wiener (2013). We generalise their results in both the adaptive (on-line) and non-adaptive (parallelised) case for general d. Our approach provides new links between separability and (hyper-)graph girth, as well as new bounds for the problem.

Dr. Prashant Batra, Institut für Rechnertechnologie, Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Raum 3.074

In Zusammenhang mit der Nullstellenlage von Polynomen welche ausschließlich nichtnegative Koeffizienten aufweisen wurden von Holtz und Tyaglov (SIAM Review, 2012) speziell strukturierte, unendliche Matrizen betrachtet, deren Minoren sämtlich nicht-negativ sind genau dann, wenn das Polynom nur negative Nullstellen besitzt.

Wir werden zum einen diese aufwendige Charakterisierung der
Nullstellenlage von Polynomen deutlich vereinfachen, desweiteren den Satz von Holtz und Tyaglov auf eine Klasse ganzer Funktionen ausweiten sowie den Bezug zu bekannten Klassen total nichtnegativer Matrizen herstellen.

Als mathematische Anwendungen erhalten wir einen einfachen, unabhängigen Beweis der Charakterisierung von Holtz-Tyaglov, eine neue Verknüpungseigenschaft der betrachteten Matrizen sowie eine Charakterisierung der Nullstellenlage spezieller ganzer Funktionen.
06/30/14 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 Domain Decomposition for elliptic PDE eigenvalue problems*
Lars Grasedyck, RWTH Aachen

We consider the solution of a rather simple class of eigenvalue problems $Ax=\lambda{Mx}$ for symmetric positive definite matrices $A$,$M$ that stem, e.g., from the discretisation of a PDE eigenvalue problem. Thus, the problem is in principle simple, but the matrices $A$ and $M$ are large-scale and we would like to compute all relevant eigenvalues, where relevant is to be understood in the sense that all eigenvalues should be computed that can be captured by the discretisation of the continuous PDE eigenvalue problem.

We propose a new method for the solution of such eigenvalue problems.
The new method combines ideas of domain decomposition, as in the automated multi-level substructuring (short AMLS) or component mode synthesis, with the concept of hierarchical matrices (short $\cal{H}$-matrices) in order to obtain a solver that scales almost linearly (linear up to logarithmic factors) in the size of the discrete space, i.e. the size $N$ of the linear system times the number of sought eigenvectors. Whereas the classical AMLS method is very effective for PDEs posed in two dimensions, it is getting very expensive in the three-dimensional case, due to the fact that the interface coupling in the domain decomposition requires dense matrix operations. We resolve this problem by use of data-sparse hierarchical matrices. In addition to the discretisation error our new approach involves a projection error due to AMLS and an arithmetic error due to $\cal{H}$-matrix approximation. We will shortly analyse the complexity in theory and practice, and consider several numerical examples that underline the performance of the solver.
06/24/14 03:30 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 A connection between coupled and penalty projection timestepping schemes with FE spatial discretization for the Navier-Stokes equations*
Leo Rebholz

We prove that in finite element settings where the divergence-free subspace of the velocity space has optimal approximation properties, the solution of Chorin/Temam projection methods for Navier-Stokes equations equipped with grad-div stabilization with parameter $\gamma$, converge to the associated coupled method solution with rate $\gamma^{-1}$ as $\gamma\rightarrow \infty$. We prove this first for backward Euler schemes, and then extend the results to BDF2 schemes, and finally to schemes with outflow boundary conditions. Several numerical experiments are given which verify the convergence rate, and show how using projection methods in this setting with large grad-div stabilization parameters can dramatically improve accuracy.

05/28/14 02:15 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 Where is the main diagonal of my bi-infinite matrix?
Marko Lindner

Sometimes it is convenient to have a bi-infinite enumeration of the basis elements in the domain and image spaces of an operator A - leading to a representation of A by a bi-infinite matrix.
Shifting one of these enumerations shifts the matrix and hence changes the main diagonal. So which diagonal is ''the'' main diagonal? Isreal Gohberg once diplomatically said that in a bi-infinite matrix, it is every diagonal's right to claim to be the main diagonal. However, there are concrete problems in numerics and in matrix algebra that require a concrete choice - and, as it turns out, the choices coincide: From a certain point of view, there is one distinguished diagonal that deserves being called the main diagonal (a bit more than the others). We show how to find it and we discuss examples.

This talk will avoid painful technical details in so far as that is possible and focus on an application, proving a hypergraph extension of the Erdos-Gallai theorem.

The blow-up lemma of Komlós, Sárközy and Szemerédi is an important tool for embedding large graphs H into dense graphs G. We recently obtained versions of this lemma for subgraphs G of sparse random and pseudo-random graphs. This has important applications in extremal graph theory on random graphs, but can also be used for the analysis of certain maker-breaker games.

In the talk I will explain our blow-up lemmas and describe their connection to maker-breaker games, after giving some necessary background.

Dirk Pflüger, Stuttgart

High dimensionalities are a major roadblock for the numerical solution of problems in computational sciences. Straightforward discretizations are severely limited by the curse of dimensionality, the exponential dependency of the overall computational effort on the number of dimensions. It is therefore typically not feasible to treat more than four dimensions. In this talk, I will give a short introduction to Sparse Grids, which provide a versatile way to overcome the curse of dimensionality to a large extent, and show some of their applications. A special focus will be on spatially adaptive refinement, which adapts to the peculiarities of the problem at hand, and on adapted basis functions. Both are crucial whenever only few grid points can be spent, or where real-world problems do not meet the underlying smoothness requirements. The hierarchical basis formulation of the direct Sparse Grid approach conveniently provides a reasonable criterion for spatially adaptive refinement practically for free. This can serve as a starting point to develop suitable and problem-adapted modifications.

This talk gives an overview of some classical and recent uniqueness results in Discrete Tomography.

The second part of the talk deals with the computational complexity of finding a smallest set of lattice positions of a given lattice set whose disclosure yields uniqueness w.r.t. some given X-rays. It turns out that this problem is already NP-hard in the plane and for the two standard directions.

10/17/13 02:15 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95E, Room 3.074 On the Role of the Helmholtz Decomposition in Mixed Methods for Incompressible Flows and a New Variational Crime*

According to the Helmholtz decomposition, the irrotational parts of the momentum balance equations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are balanced by the pressure gradient. Unfortunately, nearly all mixed methods for incompressible flows violate this fundamental property, resulting in the well-known numerical instability of poor mass conservation. The origin of this problem is the lack of L2-orthogonality between discretely divergence-free velocities and irrotational vector fields. Therefore, a new variational crime for the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element is proposed, where divergence-free, lowest-order Raviart-Thomas velocity reconstructions reestablish L2-orthogonality. This approach allows to construct a cheap flow discretization for general 2d and 3d simplex meshes that possesses the same advantageous robustness properties like divergence-free flow solvers. In the Stokes case, optimal a-priori error estimates for the velocity gradients and the pressure are derived. Moreover, the discrete velocity is independent of the continuous pressure. Several detailed linear and nonlinear numerical examples illustrate the theoretical findings.

Dominik Enseleit, UHH, UHH

Die Technik der Hierarchischen Matrizen H-Matrizen) ermöglicht die Berechnung einer approximativen H-Inversen oder H-LU-Zerlegung in fast linearer Komplexität und kann auf diese Weise zur effizienten Lösung linearer Gleichungssysteme eingesetzt werden. Vor der Verwendung der H-Matrix-Technik ist zu untersuchen, ob eine H-Matrix Approximation der Inversen bzw. der Faktoren der LU-Zerlegung existiert.
Resultate dieser Form konnten bereits für diverse Matrizen (z.B. Finite-Element-Matrizen) gezeigt werden, im Finite-Differenzen-Kontext sind jedoch keine Veröffentlichungen zum Einsatz der H-Matrix-Technik bekannt. Mit der Zielsetzung die Anwendbarkeit der H-Matrix-Technik für eine Finite-Differenzen-Matrix aus dem meteorologischen Transport- und Strömungsmodell METRAS zu untersuchen, wird in diesem Vortrag ein Resultat für Finite-Differenzen-Matrizen vorgestellt. Aufbauend auf dem methodischen Ansatz für Finite-Element-Matrizen wird die Existenz einer H-Matrix Approximation der Inversen von Finite-Differenzen-Matrizen gezeigt.
Die Ergebnisse können mittels numerischer Tests bestätigt werden. Bei Testproblemen, die in Anlehnung an das Gleichungssystem aus dem Modell METRAS aufgestellt werden, lässt sich im Einklang mit den theoretischen Ergebnissen jedoch eine Verschlechterung des Fehlerverlaufs in Abhängigkeit von einem Parameter feststellen. Für diese Fälle wird eine modifizierte Partitionierungsstrategie vorgestellt, deren Verwendung zu deutlich besseren Ergebnissen führt.

Furthermore, a sufficient criterion for the absence of singular continuous spectrum is provided. The results are natural multidimensional analogues of classical facts from singular
Sturm–Liouville theory.

Cedric Effenberger, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, Lausanne

We consider eigenvalue problems which are nonlinear in the eigenvalue
parameter. Newton-based methods are well-established techniques for determining individual eigenpairs of such nonlinear eigenvalue problems. If a larger number of eigenpairs is sought, however, the tendency of these methods to re-converge to previously discovered eigenpairs is a hindrance. In this talk, a deflation strategy for nonlinear eigenvalue problems will be presented, which overcomes this limitation in a natural way. Furthermore, we will comment on how this deflation approach can be implemented in a Jacobi-Davidson framework with only minimal overhead.

It turns out that there is no straightforward extension of this concept to eigenvalue problems that are nonlinear in the eigenvalue parameter. One obstacle is that eigenvectors belonging to different eigenvalues may become linearly dependent in the nonlinear case. Invariant pairs offer an elegant way to avoid this obstacle and appear to be the most natural extension of invariant subspaces. In this talk, we give an overview of the properties of invariant pairs and explain how they can be used in the design of numerical algorithms for nonlinear eigenvalue problems, as they arise for example in band diagram calculations for photonic crystals and fluid-structure interaction problems.

03/14/12 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 The Lanczos algorithms and their relations to formal orthogonal polynomials, Padé approximation, continued fractions, and the qd algorithm*
Martin Gutknecht, ETH Zurich; Seminar for Applied Mathematics, LEO D3 (Leonhardstrasse 27), 8092 Zurich, Switzerland

In their seminal 1952 paper on the conjugate gradient (CG) method Hestenes and Stiefel pointed out that their method, which is applicable to linear systems of equations with symmetric positive definite matrix only, is closely related to certain orthogonal polynomials, the corresponding Gauss quadrature formulas, certain continued fractions, and their convergents (or partial sums'). The latter can be seen to be Padé approximants of a function that involves the resolvent of the matrix.

Around the same time, in 1950 and 1952, Cornelius Lanczos published two related articles, of which the second one introduced a precursor of the biconjugate gradient (BCG or BiCG) method, which generalizes CG to the case of a nonsymmetric system. Here, the residual polynomials are formal orthogonal polynomials only, but the connections to continued fractions and Padé approximants persist. Moreover, there is a relation to the qd algorithm of Rutishauser (1954). The understanding of all these connections became probably the key to Rutishauser's discovery of the LR algorithm (1955, 1958), which was later enhanced by John G.F. Francis to the ubiquitous QR algorithm (1961/62).

Martin van Gijzen, Delft University of Technology; Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Mekelweg 4; 2628 CD Delft; The Netherlands

The IDR(s) method is a family of fast algorithms for iteratively solving large nonsymmetric linear systems. In the talk we will discuss an IDR(s) variant that is specifically tuned for parallel and grid computing. In particular in grid computing the inner product is a bottleneck operation. We will discuss three techniques that we have used to alleviate this bottleneck in IDR(s). Firstly, the efficient and stable IDR(s)-biortho method is reformulated in such a way that it has a single global synchronisation point per iteration step. Secondly, the so-called test matrix is chosen so that the work, communication, and storage involving this matrix is minimised in multi-cluster environments. Finally, a methodology is presented for a-priori estimation of the optimal value of s using only problem and machine--based parameters. We will also discuss a preconditioned version of IDR(s) that is particularly suited for grid computing. We will illustrate our results with numerical experiments on the DAS--3 Grid computer, which consists of five cluster computers located at geographically separated places in the Netherlands.

This is joint work with Tijmen Collignon.

Ivo Panayotov, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, 24-29 St Giles', Oxford, OX1 3LB, England

The Lanczos algorithm was introduced in 1950 as means of solving eigenvalue problems. Despite its apparent elegance, the algorithm was initially neglected by the scientific community because it was observed to depart from its theoretical properties due to the effects of finite-precision computer arithmetic. The algorithm regained popularity several decades later when it was shown that despite its departure from theory, it nevertheless produces highly accurate eigenvalue estimates.

In my talk, I will briefly introduce the Lanczos algorithm and will present bounds characterizing the quality of eigenvalue estimates generated by the algorithm in exact arithmetic. Then, I will describe the difficulties of producing similar bounds in finite-precision arithmetic, and will present rounding error results, including recent ones, which overcome these difficulties.

In this talk, we consider the preconditioned IDR(s)-based Residual Reduction (R2) method as an extension of the IDR(s)-based SOR method in view of robust preconditioning. Moreover, we present numerical experiments that clearly show that our proposed IDR(s)-R2 method outperforms other approaches.

Lur'e equations are a generalization of algebraic Riccati equations and they arise in linear-quadratic optimal control with cost functional being singular in the input.
For Riccati equations, it is well-known that there is a one-to-one correspondence between set of solutions and certain Lagrangian eigenspaces of a Hamiltonian matrix.
The aim of this talk is to generalize this concept to Lur'e equations. We are led to the consideration of deflating subspaces of even matrix pencils.

Gerard L.G. Sleijpen, Department of Mathematics, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands

The Induced Dimension Reduction method was proposed in 1980 by Peter Sonneveld as an iterative method for solving large non-symmetric linear systems of equations. IDR can be considered as the predecessor of methods like CGS (Conjugate Gradient Squared [Sonneveld '89]) and Bi-CGSTAB (Bi-Conjugate Gradients STABilized [van der Vorst '92]). All three methods are based on efficient short recurrences. An important similarity between the methods is that they use orthogonalization with respect to a fixed shadow residual'. Of the three methods, Bi-CGSTAB has gained the most popularity, and is probably still the most widely used short recurrence method for solving non-symmetric systems.

Recently, Sonneveld and van Gijzen revived the interest for IDR. In 2008, they demonstrate that a higher dimensional shadow space, defined by an n by s matrix tR_0, can easily be incorporated into IDR, yielding a highly effective method. Convergence (in terms of steps, or, equivalently, in terms of matrix-vector multiplications) is often comparable to GRMES, but in contrast to GMRES, this ''s version'' of IDR relies on short recurrences and all steps are equally fast.

The original IDR method is closely related to Bi-CGSTAB. It is therefore natural to ask whether Bi-CGSTAB can be extended to an ''s-version'' in a way similar to IDR. To answer this question we explore the relation between IDR and Bi-CGSTAB. Our findings lead to an abstract description of the IDR method. It shows that there is a lot of freedom in implementing , leading to variants that are mathematically equivalent. The implementational variants, however, may have different stability and efficiency properties.

Bi-CGSTAB relies on degree 1 stabilization polynomials. Higher degree stabilization polynomials can also be exploited as is shown by Sleijpen and Fokkema in 1993. The resulting method BiCGstab(L) is often more stable than Bi-CGSTAB leading the much faster convergence. As shown by Sleijpen, van Gijzen 2009 and Tanio, Sugihara 2009, higher degree stabilization polynomials can also be incorporated in IDR and it can greatly improve stability of IDR with degree 1 stabilization polynomials. We argue that this is another implementational variant of IDR.

04/14/10 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 Inverse Iteration, Newton-Abschätzungen und Anwendung auf Rayleigh-Quotienten-Iterationen bei nichtlinearen Eigenwertproblemen
Prof. Hubert Schwetlick, TU Dresden, Institut für Numerische Mathematik

Bekanntlich liefert ein Schriitt $(u,\theta) \mapsto u_+^{InvIt}$ der Inversen Iteration für das nichtlineare Eigenwertproblem $T(\lambda)x=0$ dieselbe Richtung wie ein Schritt $(u,\theta) \mapsto (u_+^{Newt},\theta_+^{Newt})$ des Newtonverfahrens für das erweiterte System $T(\lambda)x=0,\;w^Hx=1$ mit einem geeigneten Skalierungsvektor $w$, d.h., es gilt $\mbox{span}\,\{u_+^{InvIt}\}=\mbox{span}\,\{u_+^{Newt}\}$. Es liegt daher nahe, zur Abschätzung der Verbesserung der Eigenvektorapproximation $u$ durch die Inverse Iteration Newton-Techniken zu verwenden. Es wird gezeigt, dass dies zu genauen Abschätzungen führt, wenn explizit mit dem Restglied zweiter Ordnung gearbeitet und dessen spezielle Produktstruktur berücksichtigt wird wie das von \textsc{Heinz Unger} [50] erstmalig (und ohne publizierten Beweis) für das lineare Problem $T(\lambda)=A-\lambda I$ getan worden ist.

Durch Kombination mit neuen Abschätzunegn für das nichtlineare klassische bzw. verallgemeinerte Rayleigh-Funktional läßt sich dann einfach die quadratische Konvergenz
der nichtlinearen Rayleigh-Funktional-Iteration wie auch die kubische Konvergenz der nichtlinearen Verallgemeinerung der zweiseitigen Ostrowskischen Rayleigh-Quotienten-Iteration herleiten.

Prof. Sarka Necasova, Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences, Praha, Czech Republic

The motion of one or several rigid bodies in a viscous fluid occupying a bounded domain ­$\Omega in R^3$ represents an interesting theoretical problem featuring, among others, possible contacts of two or more solid objects. We consider the motion of several rigid bodies in a non-Newtonian fluid of a power-law type. Our main result establishes the existence of global-in-time solutions of the associated evolutionary system, when collisions of two or more rigid objects do not appear in a finite time unless they were present initially.

We show that, for a prescribed power-law nonlinearity $\psi$ and using the solution $(w,h)$, a self-similar solution to the porous medium equation in the two-component domain can be constructed.
12/16/09 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 Inverse iteration for purely imaginary eigenvalues with application to the detection of Hopf Bifurcations in large scale problems*
Prof. Dr. Karl Meerbergen, Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven

The detection of a Hopf bifurcation in a large scale dynamical system that depends on a physical parameter often consists of computing the right-most eigenvalues of a sequence of large sparse eigenvalue problems. Guckenheimer et. al. (SINUM, 34, (1997) pp. 1-21) proposed a method that computes a value of the parameter that corresponds to a Hopf point without actually computing right-most eigenvalues. This method utilises a certain sum of Kronecker products and involves the solution of matrices of squared dimension, which is impractical for large scale applications. However, if good starting guesses are available for the parameter and the purely imaginary eigenvalue at the Hopf point, then efficient algorithms are available. In this paper, we propose a method for obtaining such good starting guesses, based on finding purely imaginary eigenvalues of a two-parameter eigenvalue problem (possibly arising after a linearisation process). The problem is formulated as an inexact inverse iteration method that requires the solution of a sequence of Lyapunov equations with low rank right hand sides. It is this last fact that makes the method feasible for large systems. The power of our method is tested on numerical examples.
12/04/09 02:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 Introduction of IDR-based Jacobi(s), Gauss-Seidel(s) and SOR(s) methods and its estimation
Prof. Seiji Fujino, Research Institute for Information Technology, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan

The conventional SOR (Successive Over-Relaxation) method originated from the dissertation by D. Young in 1950. After that, the SOR method has been often used for the solution of problems which stem from various applications. The SOR method, however, has many issues on possibility of the solution because of no robustness of convergence of the SOR method.

Recently Sonneveld and van Gijzen brought epoch-making and renewed interest in the Induced Dimension Reduction (IDR) method in 2008. In addition, the Bi_IDR(s) method which was proposed by them is more elegant and stable than IDR(s) method. Furthermore, in 2009, IDR(s)Stab(L) and GBiCGStab(s,L) methods were independently proposed as one of the generalized version of IDR(s) method with polynomial of high degree L by Sleijpen and Tanio et al.

In my talk, we extend IDR Theorem to designing of the residual of the Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel and SOR methods, and accelerate their convergence rate and robustness. Through numerical experiments, we make clear improvement of performance of IDR-based Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel and SOR methods with parameters.

Prof. Jiequan Li, School of Mathematics, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China

In this talk I will briefly review the generalized Riemann problem (GRP) method for compressible fluid flows. There were originally two versions of this method:
Lagrangian and Eulerian. The latter is always derived via a passage from the former. In our recent efforts, we developed a direct Eulerian GRP method using the ingredient of Riemann invariants. The main advantage is (1) to avoid the passage from the Lagrangian to Eulerian and thus easily to be extended into multidimensional cases; (2) treat sonic cases easily; and (3) conveniently combine with other techniques such as adaptive meshes.
We will also report some stability, convergence properties, and applications to shallow water equations on the sphere (earth).
09/02/09 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 ON THE CONTROL OF NUMERICAL EFFECTS OF DISPERSION AND DISSIPATION PREVAILING IN FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEMES*
Dr. Bippine Appadu, University of Mauritius, Reduit, Mauritius

In CFD, Atmospheric Sciences and Computational Aeroacoustics, many problems involve regions of discontinuity. When used to solve problems involving regions of shocks, dispersive schemes give rise to oscillations while dissipative schemes cause smearing, close to these regions of sharp gradients.

Based on the results of the 1-D shallow water problem, when solved using MCLF2, we observe that different cfl numbers yield results with different amount of dispersion and dissipation. This led us to devise a technique in order to locate the cfl number at which we can obtain results with efficient shock-capturing properties. This new technique involves the control of numerical effects of dispersion and dissipation in numerical schemes. We baptise this technique as Curbing of Dispersion by Dissipation for Efficient Shock-capturing, CDDES. The cfl number at which dissipation curbs dispersion optimally is then located. It is termed as the optimal cfl.

We extend the concept of CDDES to that of Minimised Integrated Square Difference Error,(MISDE). The latter is an improved technique over the CDDES technique since it can be used to obtain two optimal parameters which are generally the cfl number and another variable, for efficient-shock capturing. Another technique of optimisation is devised which enables better control over the grade and balance of oscillation and dissipation to optimise parameters which regulate dispersion and dissipation effects. This technique is baptised as Minimised Integrated Exponential Error for Low Dispersion and Low Dissipation, (MIEELDLD) and has advantages over the previous technique, MISDE.
07/10/09 10:00 am Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Building D, Room D1025 Discrete Empirical Interpolation for Nonlinear Model Reduction*
Prof. D. C. Sorensen, Rice University, Houston, Texas

A dimension reduction method called Discrete Empirical Interpolation (DEIM) will be presented and shown to dramatically reduce the computational complexity of the popular Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) method for constructing reduced-order models for unsteady and/or parametrized nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). In the presence of a general nonlinearity, the standard POD-Galerkin technique reduces dimension in the sense that far fewer variables are present, but the complexity of evaluating the nonlinear term remains that of the original problem.

I will describe DEIM as a modification of POD that reduces the complexity as well as the dimension of general nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It is, in particular, applicable to ODEs arising from finite difference discretization of unsteady time dependent PDE and/or parametrically dependent steady state problems. Our contribution is a greatly simplified description of Empirical Interpolation in a finite dimensional setting. The method possesses an error bound on the quality of approximation. An application of DEIM to a finite difference discretization of the 1-D FitzHugh-Nagumo equations is shown to reduce the dimension from 1024 to order 5 variables with negligible error over a long-time integration that fully captures non-linear limit cycle behavior. We also demonstrate applicability in higher spatial dimensions with similar state space dimension reduction and accuracy results.

05/13/09 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 On numerical simulation of flow in time-dependent domains
Prof. Miloslav Feistauer, Karls-Universität Prag, Department of Numerical Mathematics

The lecture will be concerned with the simulation of inviscid and viscous compressible flow in time dependent domains. The motion of the boundary of the domain occupied by the fluid is taken into account with the aid of the ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) formulation of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations describing compressible flow. The system of the governing equations is discretized in space by the discontinous Galerkin method. The time discretization is based on a semi-implicit linearized time stepping scheme, which leads to the solution of a linear algebraic system on each time level. As a result we get an efficient and robust numerical process. The applicability of the developed method will be demonstrated by some computational results obtained for flow in a channel with a moving wall and past an oscillating airfoil.

These results were obtained in cooperation with Vaclav Kucera and Jaroslava Prokopova from Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, and Jaromir Horacek from Institute of Thermomechanics of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

01/28/09 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 IDR in variations*
Prof. Martin Gutknecht, Seminar for Applied Mathematics, ETH Zurich

The Induced Dimension Reduction (IDR) method is a Krylov space method for solving linear systems that was first developed by Sonneveld around 1979 and documented on three and a half pages of a 1980 proceedings paper by Wesseling and Sonneveld. Soon after IDR, Sonneveld introduced his widely applied Conjugate Gradient Squared (CGS) algorithm. Then, in 1990, van der Vorst suggested Bi-CGSTAB that he claimed to improve both those methods.

Bi-CGSTAB has become a method of choice for nonsymmetric linear systems, and it has been generalized in various ways in the hope of further improving its reliability and speed. Among these generalizations there is the ML(k)BiCGSTAB method of Yeung and Chan, which in the framework of block Lanczos methods can be understood as a variation of Bi-CGSTAB with right-hand side block size 1 and left-hand side block size k.

In 2007 Sonneveld and van Gijzen reconsidered IDR and generalized it to IDR(s), claiming that IDR is equally fast but preferable to Bi-CGSTAB, and that IDR(s) may be much faster than IDR = IDR(1). It turned out that IDR(s) is closely related to BiCGSTAB if s = 1 and to ML(s)BiCGSTAB if s > 1. In 2008, a new, particularly ingenious and elegant variant of IDR(s) has been proposed by the same authors.

In this talk we first try to explain the basic, seemingly quite general IDR approach, which differs completely from traditional approaches to Krylov space methods. Then we compare the basic properties of the above mentioned methods and discuss some of their connections.
12/17/08 02:30 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 Non-Oscillatory Central Schemes -- a Powerful Black-Box-Solver for Hyperbolic PDE's
Prof. Alexander Kurganow, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA

I will first give a brief description of finite-volume, Godunov-type methods for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. These methods consist of two types of schemes: upwind and central. My lecture will focus on the second type -- non-oscillatory central schemes.

Godunov-type schemes are projection-evolution methods. In these methods, the solution, at each time step, is interpolated by a (discontinuous) piecewise polynomial interpolant, which is then evolved to the next time level using the integral form of conservation laws. Therefore, in order to design an upwind scheme, (generalized) Riemann problems have to be (approximately) solved at each cell interface. This however may be hard or even impossible.

The main idea in the derivation of central schemes is to avoid solving Riemann problems by averaging over the wave fans generated at cell interfaces. This strategy leads to a family of universal numerical methods that can be applied as a black-box-solver to a wide variety of hyperbolic PDEs and related problems. At the same time, central schemes suffer from (relatively) high numerical viscosity, which can be reduced by incorporating of some upwinding information into the scheme derivation -- this leads to central-upwind schemes, which will be presented in the lecture.

During the talk, I will show a number of recent applications of the central schemes.
12/03/08 04:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 Numerical entropy production as a regularity/error indicator
Prof. Gabriella Puppo, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Torino,Italy

Uniqueness for weak solutions of conservation laws is based on the sign of the entropy production across discontinuos solutions. Although the entropy plays a fundamental role in the theory of hyperbolic systems, it is generally not used as a computational tool.
In this talk I describe how the numerical production of entropy induced by the discretization of the equations is a reliable indicator of the quality of the numerical solution. Thus the entropy production can be used as a regularity indicator, identifying the cells in which non linear limiters must be used to prevent the onset of spurious oscillations.
More quantitatively, when the solution is smooth, the entropy production has the same size of the local truncation error and can therefore be used as an a-posteriori error indicator to drive the construction of adaptive grids.

Dr. Sfakianakis Nikos, University of Heraklion, Greece

We start with a brief introduction to Conservation Laws and to their numerical solutions. Then we discuss the construction and manipulation of non-uniform meshes, using geometric properties of the numerical solution under consideration. Next, we examine properties (such as consistency, stability and order of accuracy) of numerical schemes over both uniform and non-uniform meshes. Finally, we combine a proper mesh selection mechanism with Entropy Conservative or oscillatory numerical schemes for the evolution step.

04/02/08 03:00 pm Schwarzenbergstrasse 95, Room 3.053 On the multiscale rodlike model in polymeric fluids
Hui Zhang, School of Mathematical Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, P.R. China

We will show the new rigid rod-like model in a polymeric fluid. The constitutive relations considered are motivated by the kinetic theory. The micro equation has five spatial freedom variables, two of them are in the configuration domain and the others are in the macro flow domain. It is obtained the local existence of the solution with large initial data and global existence of the solution with small Deborah and Reynolds constants in periodic domains. For the case of no flow we will give the structure of stationary solutions to the micro equation with Maier-Saupe potential on the sphere. The stationary solutions are shown to be necessarily a set of axially symmetric functions, and a complete classification of parameters for phase transitions to these stationary solutions is obtained. It is shown that the number of stationary solutions hinges on whether the potential intensity crosses two critical values 6.731393 and 7.5. Furthermore, we present explicit formulas for all stationary solutions. It is first theoretically proven that there is a hysteresis phenomenon when the non-dimensional potential intensity among particles changes. In the weak shear flow, we show that there exist many stable dynamic states: flow-aligning, tumbling, log-rolling and kayaking, which depend on the initial concentrated orientation of liquid crystal particles. Theoretical analysis is reported the first time that the Kayaking state does not circulate around a fixed direction but the asymmetric axis will periodically change.

In this article we compare the set of integer points in the homothetic copy ${n\Pi}$ of a lattice polytope ${\Pi\subseteq{{\mathbb R}}^d}$ with the set of all sums${ x_1+\ldots +xn}$ with ${x_1,\ldots,x_n\in \Pi\cap{{\mathbb Z}}^d}$ and ${n\in{{\mathbb N}}}$. We give conditions on the polytope ${\Pi}$ under which these two sets coincide and we discuss two notions of boundary for subsets of${{{\mathbb Z}}^d}$ or, more generally, subsets of a finitely generated discrete group.
