  1. 26. Multiscale Methods and Uncertainty Quantification

    Författare :Daniel Elfverson; Axel Målqvist; Frédéric Legoll; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multiscale methods; finite element method; discontinuous Galerkin; Petrov-Galerkin; a priori; a posteriori; complex geometry; uncertainty quantification; multilevel Monte Carlo; failure probability; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we consider two great challenges in computer simulations of partial differential equations: multiscale data, varying over multiple scales in space and time, and data uncertainty, due to lack of or inexact measurements.We develop a multiscale method based on a coarse scale correction, using localized fine scale computations.

  3. 27. Sequential Monte Carlo Filters and Integrated Navigation

    Författare :Per-Johan Nordlund; Fredrik Gustafsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we consider recursive Bayesian estimation in general, and sequential Monte Carlo filters in particular, applied to integrated navigation. Based on a large number of simulations of the model, the sequential Monte Carlo filter, also referred to as particle filter, provides an empirical estimate of the full posterior probability density of the system.

  4. 28. Studies of Supported Catalysts for Environmental Applications: - Flow Reactor Measurements, Monte Carlo Simulations and High Throughput Screening

    Författare :Peter Thormählen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide; supported heterogeneous catalysts; flow reactor measurements; high throughput screening; low temperature catalytic activity; cobalt oxide; platinum; temperature programmed methods; Monte Carlo simulations; environmental catalysis;

    Sammanfattning : The use of heterogeneous catalysts for environmental applications, primarily for reduction of harmful emissions from vehicles and stationary sources, has successively increased during the last three decades. Driven by emission regulations, research and development within this area attract large interest and resources, especially for automotive applications. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Breaking the Dimensionality Curse of Voronoi Tessellations

    Författare :Vladislav Polianskii; Florian T. Pokorny; Michael Bronstein; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; geometric methods; machine learning methods; Voronoi; Delaunay; high dimensional geometry; curse of dimensionality; monte carlo; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Considering the broadness of the area of artificial intelligence, interpretations of the underlying methodologies can be commonly narrowed down to either a probabilistic or a geometric point of view. Such separation is especially prevalent in more classical "pre-neural-network" machine learning if one compares Bayesian modelling with more deterministic models like nearest neighbors. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Towards Efficient Monte Carlo Calculations in Reactor Physics : Criticality, Kinetics and Burnup Problems

    Författare :Ignas Mickus; Jan Dufek; Andrea Zoia; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kärnenergiteknik; Nuclear Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a compilation of work focused on Monte Carlo crit-icality, kinetics and burnup calculations in reactor physics. Performing suchcalculations usually comes at a high computing cost. Therefore, the main mo-tivation behind the presented work is lowering the computing cost of MonteCarlo calculations. LÄS MER
