    TetGen: 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, Hang
    TetGen 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.

    WIAS-TeSCA - Two-dimensional semi-conductor analysis package
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Gajewski, Herbert; Liero, Matthias; Nürnberg, Reiner; Stephan, Holger
    WIAS-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.

    Genealogical properties of spatial models in Population Genetics
    (Hannover : Technische Informationsbibliothek, 2023-09) Wirtz, Johannes
    At the interface between Phylo- and Population Genetics, and recently heavily inspired by Epidemonology, the discipline of Phylogeography comprises modelling techniques from classical theoretical biology and combines them with a spatial (2D or 3D) aspect, with the purpose of utilizing geographical information in the analysis to understand the evolutionary history of a biological system or aspects of virology such as directionality and seasonality in pandemic outbreaks [1, 2, 3, 4]. An prime example of this are datasets that take into account the sampling locations of its components (geo-referenced genomic data). In this project, we have focused on the model called "spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process" ( V [5, 6]) and analzed its statistical properties forward in time as well as in the ancestral (dual) process, with results that may be used for parameter inference. Of particlar interest was the spatial variance, denoted , a parameter controlling the speed at which genetic information is spread across space and therefore an analog of the reproduction number (R0) used in epidemonology e.g. to assess the infectiousness of differing viral strains. We explored the relation of this parameter to the time to coalescence between lineage pairs in this model and described methods of estimating it from sampled data under different circumstances. We have furthermore investigated similarities and differences between this model and classical models in Population Genetics, particularly Birth-Death processes, which are heavily used for all kinds of biological inference problems, but do not by themselves feature a spatial component. We compared the Vto a variant of the Birth-Death process where the location of a live individual changes over the course of its lifetime according to a Brownian motion. This process is not as easily viewed backward in time as the V, but the genalogical process is accessible by Markov-Chain Monte Carlosimulation, as the likelihoods of ancestral positions and branch lengths are easily calculated, making this model easily applicable to data. Our analysis highlights the analogy between the two processes forward in time as well as backward in time; on the other hand, we also observed a divergent behavior of the two models when no prior on the phylogenetic time scale was assumed. Lastly, this project has given rise to a study of combinatorial properties of tree shapes relevant to the V, the Birth-Death and other biological processes. In particular, we were able to identify the combinatorial class genealogical trees generated from these processes belong to and verify a conjecture regarding their enumeration. Preliminary versions of software tools for the aforementioned inference have also been provided.

    Calibration methods for gas turbine performance models
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Borchardt, Jürgen; Mathé, Peter; Printsypar, Galina
    The 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.

    Jewellery from tessellations of hyperbolic space
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach gGmbH, 2022) Gangl, Herbert
    In this snapshot, we will first give an introduction to hyperbolic geometry and we will then show how certain matrix groups of a number-theoretic origin give rise to a large variety of interesting tessellations of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. Many of the building blocks of these tessellations exhibit beautiful symmetry and have inspired the design of 3D printed jewellery.

    Comparison 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, Andreas
    We 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.
