Domain Walls in MQCD and Monge-Ampere Equation
We study Witten's proposal that a domain wall exists in M-theory fivebrane
version of QCD (MQCD) and that it can be represented as a supersymmetric
three-cycle in G_2 holonomy manifold. It is shown that equations defining the
U(1) invariant domain wall for SU(2) group can be reduced to the Monge-Ampere
equation. A proof of an algebraic formula of Kaplunovsky, Sonnenschein and
Yankielowicz is presented. The formal solution of equations for domain wall is
constructed.Comment: Latex, 18 pages, section 4.2 modified, typos correcte
Numerics of boundary-domain integral and integro-differential equations for BVP with variable coefficient in 3D
This is the post-print version of the article. The official published version can be accessed from the links below - Copyright @ 2013 Springer-VerlagA numerical implementation of the direct boundary-domain integral and integro-differential equations, BDIDEs, for treatment of the Dirichlet problem for a scalar elliptic PDE with variable coefficient in a three-dimensional domain is discussed. The mesh-based discretisation of the BDIEs with tetrahedron domain elements in conjunction with collocation method leads to a system of linear algebraic equations (discretised BDIE). The involved fully populated matrices are approximated by means of the H-Matrix/adaptive cross approximation technique. Convergence of the method is investigated.This study is partially supported by the EPSRC grant EP/H020497/1:"Mathematical Analysis of Localised-Boundary-Domain Integral Equations for Variable-Coefficients

Iterative methods for elliptic finite element equations on general meshes
Iterative methods for arbitrary mesh discretizations of elliptic partial differential equations are surveyed. The methods discussed are preconditioned conjugate gradients, algebraic multigrid, deflated conjugate gradients, an element-by-element techniques, and domain decomposition. Computational results are included
A domain decomposition method for solving the three-dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell equations discretized by discontinuous Galerkin methods
We present here a domain decomposition method for solving the three-dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell equations discretized by a discontinuous Galerkin method. In order to allow the treatment of irregularly shaped geometries, the discontinuous Galerkin method is formulated on unstructured tetrahedral meshes. The domain decomposition strategy takes the form of a Schwarz-type algorithm where a continuity condition on the incoming characteristic variables is imposed at the interfaces between neighboring subdomains. A multifrontal sparse direct solver is used at the subdomain level. The resulting domain decomposition strategy can be viewed as a hybrid iterative/direct solution method for the large, sparse and complex coefficients algebraic system resulting from the discretization of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations by a discontinuous Galerkin method
Isogeometric Simulation and Shape Optimization with Applications to Electrical Machines
Future e-mobility calls for efficient electrical machines. For different
areas of operation, these machines have to satisfy certain desired properties
that often depend on their design. Here we investigate the use of multipatch
Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) for the simulation and shape optimization of the
electrical machines. In order to get fast simulation and optimization results,
we use non-overlapping domain decomposition (DD) methods to solve the large
systems of algebraic equations arising from the IgA discretization of
underlying partial differential equations. The DD is naturally related to the
multipatch representation of the computational domain, and provides the
framework for the parallelization of the DD solvers

Localized direct boundary–domain integro–differential formulations for scalar nonlinear boundary-value problems with variable coefficients
Mixed boundary-value Problems (BVPs) for a second-order quasi-linear elliptic partial differential equation with variable coefficients dependent on the unknown solution and its gradient are considered. Localized parametrices of auxiliary linear partial differential equations along with different combinations of the Green identities for the original and auxiliary equations are used to reduce the BVPs to direct or two-operator direct quasi-linear localized boundary-domain integro-differential equations (LBDIDEs). Different parametrix localizations are discussed, and the corresponding nonlinear LBDIDEs are presented. Mesh-based and mesh-less algorithms for the LBDIDE discretization are described that reduce the LBDIDEs to sparse systems of quasi-linear algebraic equations
