We study the one-dimensional Helmholtz equation with (possibly perturbed) quasiperiodic coefficients. Quasiperiodic functions are the restriction of higher dimensional periodic functions along a certain (irrational) direction. In classical…
We present a new approach to the problem of binary black holes in the pre-coalescence stage, i.e. when the notion of orbit has still some meaning. Contrary to previous numerical treatments which are based on the initial value formulation of…
The central equations in classical general relativity are the Einstein Field Equations, which accurately describe not only the generation of pseudo-Riemannian curvature by matter and radiation manifesting as gravitational effects, but more…
We propose a self-adaptive absorbing technique for quasilinear ultrasound waves in two- and three-dimensional computational domains. As a model for the nonlinear ultrasound propagation in thermoviscous fluids, we employ Westervelt's wave…
