Numerical Solution of PDEs Using the Finite Element Method

The Finite Element Method Using deal.II

 

This is an intensive course that teaches how to use the finite element library deal.II (www.dealii.org).

Reduced Order Methods for Computational Mechanics

In this course we present reduced basis (RB) approximation and associated a posteriori error estimation for rapid and reliable solution of parametrized partial differential equations (PDEs). The focus is on rapidly convergent Galerkin approximations on a subspace spanned by "snapshots'"; rigorous and sharp a posteriori error estimators for the outputs/quantities of interest; efficient selection of quasi-optimal samples in general parameter domains; and Offline-Online computational procedures for rapid calculation in the many-query and real-time contexts.
