1. Computational Ice Sheet Dynamics : Error control and efficiency
Abstract : Ice sheets, such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or Antarctic Ice Sheet, have a fundamental impact on landscape formation, the global climate system, and on sea level rise. The slow, creeping flow of ice can be represented by a non-linear version of the Stokes equations, which treat ice as a non-Newtonian, viscous fluid. READ MORE

2. On the Mean Square Error of Transfer Function Estimates with Applications to Control
Abstract : In this report we study the mean square error of transfer function estimates obtained by identification. The model quality is related to the use of models in regulator design, and the properties of affecting the bias part of the mean square error, both in fixed parameter control and adaptive control.

3. Pontryagin approximations for optimal design
Abstract : This thesis concerns the approximation of optimally controlled partial differential equations for applications in optimal design and reconstruction. Such optimal control problems are often ill-posed and need to be regularized to obtain good approximations. READ MORE

4. Numerical Model Reduction and Error Control for Computational Homogenization of Transient Problems
Abstract : Multiscale modeling is a class of methods useful for numerical simulation of mechanics, in particular, when the microstructure of a material is of importance. The main advantage is the ability to capture the overall response, and, at the same time, account for processes and structures on the underlying fine scales. READ MORE

5. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Compressible Two-Phase Flow
Abstract : In this thesis we develop, apply and analyse adaptive finite element methods with error control for compressible flow problems, focusing in particular on two-phase flow. The adaptive algorithms, aiming at quantitative error control with efficient use of computational resources, are based on a posteriori error estimates, where the error is estimated in terms of the computed solution, the local mesh-size and certain stability factors.
