Abstract:
The presentation deals with a modified nodal approach (MNA), a part of mathematical control
theory. First, a short derivation of equations to gain the MNA form is shown. The main focus of the
presentation is a numerical algorithm to synthesize linear electric circuits. That means a
transformation of a given descriptor system to a MNA form. Then it is possible to reinterpret a
descriptor system as an electric circuit.
Abstract:
Excitations of technical systems, such as wind gusts or road roughness,
can be described by random variables. This leads to stochastic
differential equations. Their probability density function solves (under
certain conditions) the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE). This talk is about
the numerical solution of linear homogeneous systems of equations
arising from solving the FPE.
Abstract:
We discuss different time discretizations of variational type
applied to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential
equations which is typically generated by a semi-discretization in space
of a given nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation
like, for instance, the non-stationary Burgers equation.
Among these methods we compare the known continuous
Galerkin-Petrov and the discontinuous Galerkin method with
time polynomial ansatz functions of order k (cGP(k)- and
dG(k)-method) with respect to accuracy, stability and
computational costs. Moreover, we propose two new extended
methods (cGP-C1(k+1)- and dG-C0(k+1)-method) which have on the
one hand a one higher degree of ansatz functions and accuracy,
the same stability properties and on the other hand the same
computational costs as the original methods.
We prove A-stability for the cGP-methods and strong A-stability
for the dG-methods.
We present optimal error estimates and the close relationship
between the original and extended methods which prove as a
byproduct the super-convergence of the original methods cGP(2)
and dG(1) in the endpoints of all discrete time intervals.
Finally, we present first numerical results for the
non-stationary Burgers equation in one space dimension.
Abstract:
The concept of a coordinated linear system is introduced, and the construction and control of coordinated linear systems is discussed.
Abstract:
Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) are efficient tools for
modelling and simulation in various areas such as electrical circuit
design, multibody mechanics, fluid dynamics, etc. For solving DAEs,
well-known implicit schemes like Backward Differentiation Formula
(BDF) or collocation Runge-Kutta methods are most popular. For
semi-explicit DAEs, a class of so-called half-explicit methods
provides an alternative efficient solution. The main idea is to apply
an explicit discretization scheme to the differential subsystem and an
implicit one to the algebraic subsystem. Thus the computational cost
due to solving nonlinear system at each time step can be be reduced
significantly. In this talk I will give an overview on Half-Explicit
Runge-Kutta methods (HERKs) for index 1 or index 2 DAEs of
semi-explicit form. The construction as well as the convergence
analysis of these methods are discussed.
Abstract:
I will give some remarks on the use of half-explicit methods in
solving a special class of matrix-valued DAEs that arise in the
computation of spectral intervals of linear DAEs by QR or SVD methods.
Abstract:
We consider a model involving uncertain data and are interested in
propagating uncertainty of the models parameters into the solution. To obtain the
stochastic modes of the solution, we integrate over d-dimensional domains
with the help of Smolyak sparse grids. Higher accuracy of the approximation is obtained by either splitting the
expansion domains (h-refinement) or increasing the local projection order (p-refinement).
Abstract:
Consider a stirred vessel filled with two immiscible fluids. To control
the turbulent mixing via the stirrerspeed one has to face three major
difficulties.
Firstly, in the mathematical model for the control problem the control
variable appears in the boundary conditions.
Secondly, the model equations contain algebraic constraints.
Thirdly, the equations are nonlinear.
In my talk I will present two transformations, that reformulate the
model as a nonlinear ODE. For this form the design of the optimal
controller is straight forward.
Abstract:
Ordering heuristics for the Cholesky factorization of a sparse
symmetric positive definite matrix aim at minimizing the number of
elements in the Cholesky factor. Intuitively this should also
minimize the number of FLOPs necessary to compute it. The class of
graphs that we present shows that this is not the case. The minima
for these two objectives may even be attained on disjoint sets of
minimal triangulations. The same class of graph shows that the
minimum treewidth problem is different from minimum fill and minimum
FLOPs.
Abstract:
Continuous-time control problems with a singular matrix R arise in several applications, both in optimal control and model reduction,
but are often neglected in literature. When R is singular, one cannot reduce the problem to a Hamiltonian subspace problem nor form an
algebraic Riccati equation. Instead, a system of equations called Lur'e equations can be constructed from the invariant subspace problem
in the same fashion.
We present two approaches for the solution of Lur'e equations with singular R. The first approach consists in a deflation
technique different from the usual one, that reduces the problem to a pencil in standard symplectic form while deflating some
of the eigenvalues at infinity. This method transforms the problem to one that can easily be solved using methods such as the
structure-preserving doubling algorithm (SDA) of Chu, Fan and Lin.
The second approach, which is suitable to sparse large-scale equations, consists in computing the infinite and singular
structure of the pencil and projecting it to zero. The problem can then be reduced to an algebraic Riccati equation,
whose coefficients are represented implicitly as the solutions of singular linear systems. Using some care in representing these coefficients,
we can solve the ARE with the Newton-ADI method using the Lyapack toolbox, without resorting to dense matrix arithmetic.
This talk is based on joint work with Timo Reis.
Abstract:
In this talk I will present the results of V. Mehrmann, P. Kunkel and Kurina and März from the study of the lnear
quadratic optimal control problem s.t. DAE discryptorsystem.
Formulate them for the semi explicit case and try to solve the Riccati-equations with a half explicit method.
Abstract:
This talk aims at Delay Differential Algebraic Equations of Neutral and Retarded type with linear time invariant
matrix coefficients (LTI DDAEs). We propose a reformulation of a given system that can help us partially answer
the question "How can we characterize structural properties of the system like regularity, solvability, model consistency,
etc. via the structure of their matrix coefficients?"
Abstract:
Positive differential equations arise in every application, in which the considered quantity is real and cannot take negative values; for example in biological or chemical processes, where one deals with densities or concentrations of a given species.
Besides positivity, such processes often satisfy additional constraints that result from limitation of resources, balance equations or equilibrium conditions and which lead to a differential-algebraic system structure.
To obtain a physical meaningful numerical solution of these Differential-Algebraic-Equations (DAEs), the applied discretization methods need to meet the algebraic constraints and preserve the positivity of the solution.
In this talk, we analyze this topic for Runge-Kutta and Multistep methods and present conditions under which these methods provide a consistent a positive discretization of positive DAEs. The crucial tool in this analysis is the decomposition of the problem into its dynamic and constrained components, which admits a separate discussion of each part. For the differential part, we extend the already existing result for positive ODEs, while for the algebraic part we exploit the consistency of the applied method.
We check the derived conditions for some common one- and multistep methods and show possibilities to obtain better results for smaller classes of positive DAEs.
Abstract:
In this talk I will give an introduction to symplectic methods for Hamlitonian systems.
Hamiltonian systems are very useful for modeling conservative mechanical systems.
A characteristic property of the flow of Hamiltonian systems is symplecticity which in the two dimensional
case can be interpreted as area preservation of the flow. Numerical methods that preserve symplecticity when applied
to a Hamiltonian system give better long-time approximations than non-symplectic methods.
In the talk I will give some examples of symplectic methods and analyze their behavior. The talk is based on my bachelor's thesis.
