401-3667-67LCase Studies Seminar (Autumn Semester 2017)3 credits2SV. C. Gradinaru, R. Hiptmair, K. Nipp, M. Reiher
AbstractIn the CSE Case Studies Seminar invited speakers from ETH, from other universities as well as from industry give a talk on an applied topic. Beside of attending the scientific talks students are asked to give short presentations (10 minutes) on a published paper out of a list.
Objective
Prerequisites / Notice75% attendance and a short presentation on a published paper out of a list or on some own project are mandatory. Students that realize that they will not fulfill this criteria have to contact the teaching staff or de-register before the end of semester from the Seminar if they want to avoid a "Fail" in their documents. Later de-registrations will not be considered.
401-4671-00LAdvanced Numerical Methods for CSE9 credits4V + 2U + 1PR. Hiptmair
AbstractThis course discusses modern numerical methods involving complex algorithms and intricate data structures that render an efficient implementation non-trivial. The focus will be on boundary element methods, hierarchical matrix techniques, convolution quadrature, and reduced basis methods.
Objective- Appreciation of the interplay of functional analysis, advanced calculus, numerical linear algebra, and sophisticated data structures in modern computer simulation technology.
- Knowledge about the main ideas and mathematical foundations underlying boundary element methods, hierarchical matrix techniques, convolution quadrature, and reduced basis methods.
- Familiarity with the algorithmic challenges arising with these methods and the main ways on how to tackle them.
- Knowledge about the algorithms' complexity and suitable data structures.
- Ability to understand details of given implementations.
- Skills concerning the implementation of algorithms and data structures in C++.
Content- Boundary element methods for second-order elliptic boundary value problems.
- Local low-rank compression and hierarchical matrices.
- Numerical convolution.
- Reduced basis methods.
Lecture notesLecture material will be created during the course and will be made available online and in chapters.
