  2. 1. Adaptive Solvers for High-Dimensional PDE Problems on Clusters of Multicore Processors

    Author : Magnus Grandin; Sverker Holmgren; Michael Thuné; Michael Bader; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptive mesh refinement; anisotropic refinement; exponential integrators; Lanczos algorithm; hybrid parallelization; time-dependent Schrödinger equation; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Accurate numerical solution of time-dependent, high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) usually requires efficient numerical techniques and massive-scale parallel computing. In this thesis, we implement and evaluate discretization schemes suited for PDEs of higher dimensionality, focusing on high order of accuracy and low computational cost. READ MORE

  4. 2. Three-dimensional electron diffraction for studying order, disorder and flexibility in metal-organic frameworks

    Abstract : The thermoelectric effect was discovered nearly 200 years ago, but it started to be utilized for waste heat recovery only fairly recently. From an economical point of view, such applications requires a cheap and efficient material, which is able to convert heat energy into electricity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Localised Radial Basis Function Methods for Partial Differential Equations

    Author : Victor Shcherbakov; Elisabeth Larsson; Grady B. Wright; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radial basis function; Partition of unity; Computational finance; Option pricing; Credit default swap; Glaciology; Fluid dynamics; Non-Newtonian flow; Anisotropic RBF; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

    Abstract : Radial basis function methods exhibit several very attractive properties such as a high order convergence of the approximated solution and flexibility to the domain geometry. However the method in its classical formulation becomes impractical for problems with relatively large numbers of degrees of freedom due to the ill-conditioning and dense structure of coefficient matrix.
