International Conference on Continuous Optimization (ICCOPT) 2019 Conference Book

The Sixth International Conference on Continuous Optimization took place on the campus of the Technical University of Berlin, August 3-8, 2019. The ICCOPT is a flagship conference of the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS), organized every three years. ICCOPT 2019 was hosted by the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) Berlin. It included a Summer School and a Conference with a series of plenary and semi-plenary talks, organized and contributed sessions, and poster sessions. This book comprises the full conference program. It contains, in particular, the scientific program in survey style as well as with all details, and information on the social program, the venue, special meetings, and more

Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations

These lecture notes are devoted to the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). PDEs arise in many fields and are extremely important in modeling of technical processes with applications in physics, biology, chemisty, economics, mechanical engineering, and so forth. In these notes, not only classical topics for linear PDEs such as finite differences, finite elements, error estimation, and numerical solution schemes are addressed, but also schemes for nonlinear PDEs and coupled problems up to current state-of-the-art techniques are covered. In the Winter 2020/2021 an International Class with additional funding from DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and local funding from the Leibniz University Hannover, has led to additional online materials such as links to youtube videos, which complement these lecture notes. This is the updated and extended Version 2. The first version was published under the DOI: https://doi.org/10.15488/9248

The 2nd International Conference on Mathematical Modelling in Applied Sciences, ICMMAS’19, Belgorod, Russia, August 20-24, 2019 : book of abstracts

The proposed Scientific Program of the conference is including plenary lectures, contributed oral talks, poster sessions and listeners. Five suggested special sessions / mini-symposium are also considered by the scientific committe

Refresher course in maths and a project on numerical modeling done in twos

These lecture notes accompany a refresher course in applied mathematics with a focus on numerical concepts (Part I), numerical linear algebra (Part II), numerical analysis, Fourier series and Fourier transforms (Part III), and differential equations (Part IV). Several numerical projects for group work are provided in Part V. In these projects, the tasks are threefold: mathematical modeling, algorithmic design, and implementation. Therein, it is important to draw interpretations of the obtained results and provide measures (Parts I-IV) how to build confidence into numerical findings such intuition, error analysis, convergence analysis, and comparison to manufactured solutions. Both authors have been jointly teaching over several years this class and bring in a unique mixture of their respective teaching and research fields

Generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature and applications

A simple numerical method for constructing the optimal generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas will be presented. These formulas exist in many cases in which real positive GaussKronrod formulas do not exist, and can be used as an adequate alternative in order to estimate the error of a Gaussian rule. We also investigate the conditions under which the optimal averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas and their truncated variants are internal
