    Periodic solutions of isotone hybrid systems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Seidman, Thomas I.; Klein, Olaf
    Suggested by conversations in 1991 (Mark Krasnosel'skii and Aleksei Pokrovskii with TIS), this paper generalizes earlier work (Krasnosel'skii-Pokrovskii 1974) of theirs by defining a setting of hybrid systems with isotone switching rules for a partially ordered set of modes and then obtaining a periodicity result in that context. An application is given to a partial differential equation modeling calcium release and diffusion in cardiac cells.

    Transient numerical study of termperature gradients during sublimation growth of SiC: Dependence on apparatus design
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2005) Geiser, Jürgen; Klein, Olaf; Philip, Peter
    Using a transient mathematical heat transfer model including heat conduction, radiation, and radio frequency (RF) induction heating, we numerically investigate the time evolution of temperature gradients in axisymmetric growth apparatus during sublimation growth of silicon carbide (SiC) bulk single crystals by physical vapor transport (PVT) (modified Lely method). Temperature gradients on the growing crystal's surface can cause defects. Here, the evolution of these gradients is studied numerically during the heating process, varying the apparatus design, namely the amount of the source powder charge as well as the size of the upper blind hole used for cooling of the seed. Our results show that a smaller upper blind hole can reduce the temperature gradients on the surface of the seed crystal without reducing the surface temperature itself.

    Optimal control of semiconductor melts by traveling magnetic fields
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Nestler, Peter; Schlömer, Nico; Klein, Olaf; Sprekels, Jürgen; Tröltzsch, Fredi
    In this paper, the optimal control of traveling magnetic fields in a process of crystal growth from the melt of semiconductor materials is considered. As controls, the phase shifts of the voltage in the coils of a heater-magnet module are employed to generate Lorentz forces for stirring the crystal melt in an optimal way. By the use of a new industrial heater-magnet module, the Lorentz forces have a stronger impact on the melt than in earlier technologies. It is known from experiments that during the growth process temperature oscillations with respect to time occur in the neighborhood of the solid-liquid interface. These oscillations may strongly influence the quality of the growing single crystal. As it seems to be impossible to suppress them completely, the main goal of optimization has to be less ambitious, namely, one tries to achieve oscillations that have a small amplitude and a frequency which is sufficiently high such that the solid-liquid interface does not have enough time to react to the oscillations. In our approach, we control the oscillations at a finite number of selected points in the neighborhood of the solidification front. The system dynamics is modeled by a coupled system of partial differential equations that account for instationary heat condution, turbulent melt flow, and magnetic field. We report on numerical methods for solving this system and for the optimization of the whole process. Different objective functionals are tested to reach the goal of optimization.

    On forward and inverse uncertainty quantification for models involving hysteresis operators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Klein, Olaf; Davino, Daniele; Visone, Ciro
    Parameters within hysteresis operators modeling real world objects have to be identified from measurements and are therefore subject to corresponding errors. To investigate the influence of these errors, the methods of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) are applied.

    Mathematical modeling of Czochralski type growth processes for semiconductor bulk single crystals
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Dreyer, Wolfgang; Druet, Pierre-Étienne; Klein, Olaf; Sprekels, Jürgen
    This paper deals with the mathematical modeling and simulation of crystal growth processes by the so-called Czochralski method and related methods, which are important industrial processes to grow large bulk single crystals of semiconductor materials such as, e.,g., gallium arsenide (GaAs) or silicon (Si) from the melt. In particular, we investigate a recently developed technology in which traveling magnetic fields are applied in order to control the behavior of the turbulent melt flow. Since numerous different physical effects like electromagnetic fields, turbulent melt flows, high temperatures, heat transfer via radiation, etc., play an important role in the process, the corresponding mathematical model leads to an extremely difficult system of initial-boundary value problems for nonlinearly coupled partial differential equations ...

    Representation of hysteresis operators for vector-valued continuous monotaffine input functions by functions on strings
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Klein, Olaf
    In Brokate-Sprekels-1996, it was shown that scalar-valued hysteresis operators for scalar-valued continuous piecewise monotone input functions can be uniquely represented by functionals defined on the set of all finite alternating strings of real numbers. Using this representation, various properties of these hysteresis operators were investigated. In this work, it is shown that a similar representation result can be derived for hysteresis operators dealing with inputs in a general topological linear vector space. Introducing a new class of functions, the so-called emphmonotaffine functions, which can be considered as a vector generalization of monotone scalar functions, and the convexity triple free strings on a vector space as a generalization of the alternating strings allows to formulate the corresponding representation result. As an example for the application of the representation result, a vectorial formulation of the second and third Madelung rule are discussed.

    Uncertainty quantification for hysteresis operators and a model for magneto-mechanical hysteresis
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Klein, Olaf
    Many models for magneto-mechanical components involve hysteresis operators. The parameter within these operators have to be identified from measurements and are therefore subject to uncertainties. To quantify the influence of these uncertainties, the parameter in the hysteresis operator are considered as functions of random variables. Combining this with the hysteresis operator, we get new random variables and we can compute stochastic properties of the output of the model. For two hysteresis operators corresponding numerical results are presented in this paper. Moreover, the influence of the variation of the parameters in a model for a magneto-mechanical component is investigated.

    On the representation of hysteresis operators acting on vector-valued, left-continuous and piecewise monotaffine and continuous functions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Klein, Olaf
    In Brokate-Sprekels 1996, it is shown that hysteresis operators acting on scalar-valued, continuous, piecewise monotone input functions can be represented by functionals acting on alternating strings. In a number of recent papers, this representation result is extended to hysteresis operators dealing with input functions in a general topological vector space. The input functions have to be continuous and piecewise monotaffine, i.e., being piecewise the composition of two functions such that the output of a monotone increasing function is used as input for an affine function. In the current paper, a representation result is formulated for hysteresis operators dealing with input functions being left-continuous and piecewise monotaffine and continuous. The operators are generated by functions acting on an admissible subset of the set of all strings of pairs of elements of the vector space.

    Hausdorff metric BV discontinuity of sweeping processes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Klein, Olaf; Recupero, Vincenzo
    Sweeping processes are a class of evolution differential inclusions arising in elastoplasticity and were introduced by J.J. Moreau in the early seventies. The solution operator of the sweeping processes represents a relevant example of emphrate independent operator containing as a particular case the so called emphplay operator which is widely used in hysteresis. The continuity properties of these operators were studied in several works. In this note we address the continuity with respect to the strict metric in the space of functions of bounded variation with values in the metric space of closed convex subsets of a Hilbert space. We provide a counterexample showing that the solution operator of the sweeping process is not continuous when its domain is endowed with the strict topology of BV and its codomain is endowed with the L1-topology. This is at variance with the case of the play operator which instead is continuous in this sense.

    Optimal control of 3D state constrained induction heating problems with nonlocal radiation effects
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Druet, Pierre-Étienne; Klein, Olaf; Sprekels, Jürgen; Tröltzsch, Fredi; Yousept, Irwin
    The paper is concerned with a class of optimal heating problems in semiconductor single crystal growth processes. To model the heating process, time-harmonic Maxwell equations are considered in the system of the state. Due to the high temperatures characterizing crystal growth, it is necessary to include nonlocal radiation boundary conditions and a temperature-dependent heat conductivity in the description of the heat transfer process. The first goal of this paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the state equation. The regularity analysis associated with the time harmonic Maxwell equations is also studied. In the second part of the paper, the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the corresponding linearized equation is shown. With this result at hand, the differentiability of the control-to-state mapping operator associated with the state equation is derived. Finally, based on the theoretical results, first oder necessary optimality conditions for an associated optimal control problem are established.
