On the optimization of initial conditions for a model parameter estimation

Matonoha, Ctirad, Papáček, Štěpán, Kindermann, Stefan (2017)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The design of an experiment, e.g., the setting of initial conditions, strongly influences the accuracy of the process of determining model parameters from data. The key concept relies on the analysis of the sensitivity of the measured output with respect to the model parameters. Based on this approach we optimize an experimental design factor, the initial condition for an inverse problem of a model parameter estimation. Our approach, although case independent, is illustrated at the FRAP (Fluorescence...

On the preconditioned biconjugate gradients for solving linear complex equations arising from finite elements

Michal Křížek, Jaroslav Mlýnek (1994)

Banach Center Publications

The paper analyses the biconjugate gradient algorithm and its preconditioned version for solving large systems of linear algebraic equations with nonsingular sparse complex matrices. Special emphasis is laid on symmetric matrices arising from discretization of complex partial differential equations by the finite element method.

On the Schwarz algorithms for the elliptic exterior boundary value problems

Faker Ben Belgacem, Miche Fournié, Nabil Gmati, Faten Jelassi (2005)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Tuning the alternating Schwarz method to the exterior problems is the subject of this paper. We present the original algorithm and we propose a modification of it, so that the solution of the subproblem involving the condition at infinity has an explicit integral representation formulas while the solution of the other subproblem, set in a bounded domain, is approximated by classical variational methods. We investigate many of the advantages of the new Schwarz approach: a geometrical convergence...

On the second-order convergence of a function reconstructed from finite volume approximations of the Laplace equation on Delaunay-Voronoi meshes

Pascal Omnes (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Cell-centered and vertex-centered finite volume schemes for the Laplace equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered on a triangular mesh and on the Voronoi diagram associated to its vertices. A broken P1 function is constructed from the solutions of both schemes. When the domain is two-dimensional polygonal convex, it is shown that this reconstruction converges with second-order accuracy towards the exact solution in the L2 norm, under the sufficient condition that the...

On the solution of a finite element approximation of a linear obstacle plate problem

Luis Fernandes, Isabel Figueiredo, Joaquim Júdice (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the solution of a finite element approximation of a linear obstacle plate problem is investigated. A simple version of an interior point method and a block pivoting algorithm have been proposed for the solution of this problem. Special purpose implementations of these procedures are included and have been used in the solution of a set of test problems. The results of these experiences indicate that these procedures are quite efficient to deal with these instances and compare favourably...

On the stability of Bravais lattices and their Cauchy–Born approximations

Thomas Hudson, Christoph Ortner (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We investigate the stability of Bravais lattices and their Cauchy–Born approximations under periodic perturbations. We formulate a general interaction law and derive its Cauchy–Born continuum limit. We then analyze the atomistic and Cauchy–Born stability regions, that is, the sets of all matrices that describe a stable Bravais lattice in the atomistic and Cauchy–Born models respectively. Motivated by recent results in one dimension on the stability of atomistic/continuum coupling methods, we analyze...
