  2. 1. Wave interactions by Hamiltonian methods

    Author : Krister Wiklund; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Hamiltonian formulation; wave interaction; stability; variational principles;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the description of fluids and gases from a Hamiltonian point of view. The method we apply is a development of the theory invented by Hamilton (1805-1865). The original formulation is restricted to a certain family of dynamical variables; the canonical variables. READ MORE

  4. 2. Symplectic methods for Hamiltonian isospectral flows and 2D incompressible Euler equations on a sphere

    Author : Milo Viviani; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fluid dynamics; Symplectic methods; Isospectral flows; Geometric integration; Hamiltonian systems; Structure preserving algorithms; Euler equations; Lie–Possion systems; Fluid dynamics.;

    Abstract : The numerical solution of non-canonical Hamiltonian systems is an active and still growing field of research. At the present time, the biggest challenges concern the realization of structure preserving algorithms for differential equations on infinite dimensional manifolds. Several classical PDEs can indeed be set in this framework. READ MORE

    Abstract : This is a thesis on general relativity. It analyzes dynamical properties of Einstein's field equations in cosmology and in the vicinity of spacetime singularities in a number of different situations. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis of Adaptive Finite Element Methods

    Author : Mats G Larson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the analysis and design of adaptive finite element methods for a variety of differential equations in mechanics and physics, including linear and semilinear elliptic equations, eigenvalue problems, the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, and Hamiltonian systems. The analysis focuses on sharp a posteriori error estimates, sharp a priori error estimates, stability properties, and the design of adaptive algorithms. READ MORE
