Numerical Methods for the Chemical Master Equation
The dynamics of biochemical networks can be described by a Markov jump process on a high-dimensional state space, with the corresponding probability distribution being the solution of the Chemical Master Equation (CME). In this thesis, adaptive wavelet methods for the time-dependent and stationary CME, as well as for the approximation of committor probabilities are devised. The methods are illustrated on multi-dimensional models with metastable solutions and large state spaces

A literature survey of low-rank tensor approximation techniques
During the last years, low-rank tensor approximation has been established as
a new tool in scientific computing to address large-scale linear and
multilinear algebra problems, which would be intractable by classical
techniques. This survey attempts to give a literature overview of current
developments in this area, with an emphasis on function-related tensors
Tensor Numerical Methods in Quantum Chemistry: from Hartree-Fock Energy to Excited States
We resume the recent successes of the grid-based tensor numerical methods and
discuss their prospects in real-space electronic structure calculations. These
methods, based on the low-rank representation of the multidimensional functions
and integral operators, led to entirely grid-based tensor-structured 3D
Hartree-Fock eigenvalue solver. It benefits from tensor calculation of the core
Hamiltonian and two-electron integrals (TEI) in complexity using
the rank-structured approximation of basis functions, electron densities and
convolution integral operators all represented on 3D
Cartesian grids. The algorithm for calculating TEI tensor in a form of the
Cholesky decomposition is based on multiple factorizations using algebraic 1D
``density fitting`` scheme. The basis functions are not restricted to separable
Gaussians, since the analytical integration is substituted by high-precision
tensor-structured numerical quadratures. The tensor approaches to
post-Hartree-Fock calculations for the MP2 energy correction and for the
Bethe-Salpeter excited states, based on using low-rank factorizations and the
reduced basis method, were recently introduced. Another direction is related to
the recent attempts to develop a tensor-based Hartree-Fock numerical scheme for
finite lattice-structured systems, where one of the numerical challenges is the
summation of electrostatic potentials of a large number of nuclei. The 3D
grid-based tensor method for calculation of a potential sum on a lattice manifests the linear in computational work, ,
instead of the usual scaling by the Ewald-type approaches
