- ItemWPM package manager version 1.0 : software documentation(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Streckenbach, TimoWPM is a command-line tool designed to support build and installation facilities. It is implemented as a collection of script files, written in Bourne shell syntax. For the sake of portability the code takes care of the common pitfalls of shell programming.
- ItemTetGen: A quality tetrahedral mesh generator and a 3D Delaunay triangulator (Version 1.5 — User’s Manual)(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Si, HangTetGen is a software for tetrahedral mesh generation. Its goal is to generate good quality tetrahedral meshes suitable for numerical methods and scientific computing. It can be used as either a standalone program or a library component integrated in other software. The purpose of this document is to give a brief explanation of the kind of tetrahedralizations and meshing problems handled by TetGen and to give a fairly detailed documentation about the usage of the program. Readers will learn how to create tetrahedral meshes using input files from the command line. Furthermore, the programming interface for calling TetGen from other programs is explained.
- ItemWIAS-TeSCA - Two-dimensional semi-conductor analysis package(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Gajewski, Herbert; Liero, Matthias; Nürnberg, Reiner; Stephan, HolgerWIAS-TeSCA (Two- and three-dimensional semiconductor analysis package) is a simulation tool for the numerical simulation of charge transfer processes in semiconductor structures, especially in semiconductor lasers. It is based on the drift-diffusion model and considers a multitude of additional physical effects, like optical radiation, temperature influences and the kinetics of deep impurities. Its efficiency is based on the analytic study of the strongly nonlinear system of partial differential equations – the van Roosbroeck system – which describes the electron and hole currents. Very efficient numerical procedures for both the stationary and transient simulation have been implemented. WIAS-TeSCA has been successfully used in the research and industrial development of new electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor devices such as transistors, diodes, sensors, detectors and lasers and has already proved its worth many times in the planning and optimization of these devices. It covers a broad spectrum of applications, from heterobipolar transistor (mobile telephone systems, computer networks) through high-voltage transistors (power electronics) and semiconductor laser diodes (fiber optic communication systems, medical technology) to radiation detectors (space research, high energy physics). WIAS-TeSCA is an efficient simulation tool for analyzing and designing modern semiconductor devices with a broad range of performance that has proved successful in solving many practical problems. Particularly, it offers the possibility to calculate self-consistently the interplay of electronic, optical and thermic effects.

- ItemCalibration methods for gas turbine performance models(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Borchardt, Jürgen; Mathé, Peter; Printsypar, GalinaThe WIAS software package BOP is used to simulate gas turbine models. In order to make accurate predictions the underlying models need to be calibrated. This study compares different strategies of model calibration. These are the deterministic optimization tools as nonlinear least squares (MSO) and the sparsity promoting variant LASSO, but also the probabilistic (Bayesian) calibration. The latter allows for the quantification of the inherent uncertainty, and it gives rise to a surrogate uncertainty measure in the MSO tool. The implementation details are accompanied with a numerical case study, which highlights the advantages and drawbacks of each of the proposed calibration methods.
- ItemCascades of heteroclinic connections in hyperbolic balance laws(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Ehrt, JuliaThe Dissertation investigates the relation between global attractors of hyperbolic balance laws and viscous balance laws on the circle. Hence it is thematically located at the crossroads of hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations with one-dimensional space variable and periodic boundary conditions given by: (H): u_t + [f(u)]_x = g(u) and (P): u_t + [f(u)]_x = e u_xx + g(u). The results of the work can be split into two areas: The description of the global attractor of equation (H) and the persistence of solutions on the global attractor of (P) when e vanishes. The key idea of the work is the introduction of finite dimensional sub-attractors. This tool allows to overcome several difficulties in the description of the global attractor of equation (H) and closes one of the last remaining gaps in its complete description: Theorem 2.6.1 yields a complete parameterization of all finite dimensional sub-attractors in the hyperbolic setting. The second main result corrects a result on the persistence of heteroclinic connections by Fan and Hale [FH95] for the case e-->0 (Connection Lemma 3.2.8). The Cascading Theorem 3.2.9 then yields convergence of heteroclinic connections to a cascade of heteroclinics in case of non-persistence. In addition to the introduction and conclusions, the work consists of three chapters: Chapter 2 gives a self contained overview about what is known for global attractors for both equations and concludes with the result on the parameterizations of the sub-attractors of the hyperbolic equation (H). Chapter 3 is exclusively concerned with the question of persistence. The two main results on persistence (the Connection Lemma and the Cascading Theorem) are stated and proved. Chapter 4 concludes with geometrical investigations of persisting and non-persisting heteroclinic connections for e-->0 for some low dimensional sub-attractor cases. Not all results are rigorous in this chapter.

Namely, we discuss modeling of external cavity diode lasers, numerical simulations and analysis of these devices using the software package LDSL-tool, as well as the development of this software.
- ItemComparison of numerical methods for the reconstruction of elastic obstacles from the far-field data of scattered acoustic waves(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Elschner, Johannes; Hsiao, George C.; Rathsfeld, AndreasWe consider the inverse problem for an elastic body emerged in a fluid due to an acoustic wave. The shape of this obstacle is to be reconstructed from the far-field pattern of the scattered wave. For the numerical solution in the two-dimensional case, we compare a simple Newton type iteration method with the Kirsch-Kress algorithm. Our computational tests reveal that the Kirsch-Kress method converges faster for obstacles with very smooth boundaries. The simple Newton method, however, is more stable in the case of not so smooth domains and more robust with respect to measurement errors.
- ItemOn properties of different notions of centers for convex cones(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Henrion, René; Seeger, AlbertoThe points on the revolution axis of a circular cone are somewhat special: they are the "most interior'' elements of the cone. This paper addresses the issue of formalizing the concept of center for a convex cone that is not circular. Four distinct proposals are studied in detail: the incenter, the circumcenter, the inner center, and the outer center. The discussion takes place in the context of a reflexive Banach space.
- ItemStability of the solution set of quasi-variational inequalities and optimal control(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Alphonse, Amal; Hintermüller, Michael; Rautenberg, Carlos N.For a class of quasivariational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle-type the stability of its solution set and associated optimal control problems are considered. These optimal control problems are non-standard in the sense that they involve an objective with set-valued arguments. The approach to study the solution stability is based on perturbations of minimal and maximal elements to the solution set of the QVI with respect to monotonic perturbations of the forcing term. It is shown that different assumptions are required for studying decreasing and increasing perturbations and that the optimization problem of interest is well-posed.
