1. Parallelizing the Method of Conjugate Gradients for Shared Memory Architectures
Sammanfattning : Solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is an important problem in many fields of science and engineering. For most real-world problems modeled by PDEs, we can only approximate the solution using numerical methods. Many of these numerical methods result in very large systems of linear equations. LÄS MER
2. Iterative and Adaptive PDE Solvers for Shared Memory Architectures
Sammanfattning : Scientific computing is used frequently in an increasing number of disciplines to accelerate scientific discovery. Many such computing problems involve the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE). LÄS MER
3. On Methods for Solving Symmetric Systems of Linear Equations Arising in Optimization
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we present research on mathematical properties of methods for solv- ing symmetric systems of linear equations that arise in various optimization problem formulations and in methods for solving such problems.In the first and third paper (Paper A and Paper C), we consider the connection be- tween the method of conjugate gradients and quasi-Newton methods on strictly convex quadratic optimization problems or equivalently on a symmetric system of linear equa- tions with a positive definite matrix.

4. Approaches to accelerate methods for solving systems of equations arising in nonlinear optimization
Sammanfattning : Methods for solving nonlinear optimization problems typically involve solving systems of equations. This thesis concerns approaches for accelerating some of those methods. In our setting, accelerating involves finding a trade-off between the computational cost of an iteration and the quality of the computed search direction. LÄS MER
5. Some Mathematical Aspects of Thermo and Fluid Dynamics
Sammanfattning : This thesis contains mathematical treatments of three issues in thermo and fluid dynamics: swirling jets and vortex breakdown, Taylor's hypothesis and conjugate heat transfer. The work on swirling jets is focused on the study of the well-posedness of the conically self-similar free-vortex solutions to the Navier--Stokes equations. LÄS MER
