These lecture notes are based on an introductory course given by the author at the summer school "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at MSRI in June 2012. The emphasis throughout is on examples to illustrate the many different facets of…
This is the summary of 4 Lectures given at the XIX Canary islands winter school of Astrophysics ''The Cosmic Microwave Background, from Quantum Fluctuations to the present Universe''. Lectures were intended for master/beginning PhD students…
We describe a method to numerically compute multi-loop integrals, depending on one dimensionless parameter $x$ and the dimension $d$, in the whole kinematic range of $x$. The method is based on differential equations, which, however, do not…
Linear scaling methods, or O(N) methods, have computational and memory requirements which scale linearly with the number of atoms in the system, N, in contrast to standard approaches which scale with the cube of the number of atoms. These…
This is an extended and corrected version of lecture notes originally written for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the notes is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing…
We generalise theorems of Cochran-Lickorish and Owens-Strle to the case of links with more than one component. This enables the use of linking forms on double branched covers, Heegaard Floer correction terms, and Donaldson's diagonalisation…
Cumulation of shock snd detonation waves was considered. Computations were carried out by use of second-order central-difference scheme. Cumulation of waves in cone region with scales of 1 meter was studied. Pictures of flow in shock and…
This paper is a review of recent mathematical and computational advances in optical tomography. We discuss the physical foundations of forward models for light propagation on microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scales. We also consider…
In the framework of mapped pseudospectral methods, we introduce a new polynomial-type mapping function in order to describe accurately the dynamics of systems developing almost singular structures. Using error criteria related to the…
This book is organized into eight chapters. The first three gently introduce the basic principles of hybrid high-order methods on a linear diffusion problem, the key ideas underlying the mathematical analysis, and some useful variants of…
New implicit and implicit-explicit time-stepping methods for the wave equation in second-order form are described with application to two and three-dimensional problems discretized on overset grids. The implicit schemes are single step,…
In this paper we study some Erdos type problems in discrete geometry. Our main result is that we show that there is a planar point set of n points such that no four are collinear but no matter how we choose a subset of size $n^{5/6+o(1)} $…
The paper has a form of a survey and consists of three parts. It is focused on the relationship between the many-sorted theory, which leads to logical geometry and one-sorted theory, which is based on the important model-theoretic concepts.…
In this paper we employ three recent analytical approaches to investigate the possible classes of traveling wave solutions of some members of a family of so-called short-pulse equations (SPE). A recent, novel application of phase-plane…
We present a variant of the immersed boundary method integrated with octree meshes for highly efficient and accurate Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of flows around complex geometries. We demonstrate the scalability of the proposed method up…
The formulation of the on-surface radiation condition (OSRC) is extended to handle wave scattering problems in the presence of multiple obstacles. The new multiple-OSRC simultaneously accounts for the outgoing behavior of the wave fields,…
In this work we develop a high-resolution mapped-grid finite volume method code to model wave propagation in two dimensions in systems of multiple orthotropic poroelastic media and/or fluids, with curved interfaces between different media.…
The present work reports a general method for the calculation of t he polarizability of a truncated sphere on a substrate. A multipole ex pansion is used, where the multipoles are not necessarily localized in the center of the sphere but…
Diffusion maps are a nonlinear manifold learning technique based on harmonic analysis of a diffusion process over the data. Out-of-sample extensions with computational complexity $\mathcal{O}(N)$, where $N$ is the number of points…
This expository thesis contains a study of four interpolation theorems, the requisite background material, and a few applications. The materials introduced in the first three sections of Chapter 1 are used to motivate and prove the…
