Hard And Soft Error Resilience For One-Sided Dense Linear Algebra Algorithms, Peng Du
Hard And Soft Error Resilience For One-Sided Dense Linear Algebra Algorithms, Peng Du
Doctoral Dissertations
Dense matrix factorizations, such as LU, Cholesky and QR, are widely used by scientific applications that require solving systems of linear equations, eigenvalues and linear least squares problems. Such computations are normally carried out on supercomputers, whose ever-growing scale induces a fast decline of the Mean Time To Failure (MTTF). This dissertation develops fault tolerance algorithms for one-sided dense matrix factorizations, which handles Both hard and soft errors.
For hard errors, we propose methods based on diskless checkpointing and Algorithm Based Fault Tolerance (ABFT) to provide full matrix protection, including the left and right factor that are normally seen in …
Numerical Analysis Of First And Second Order Unconditional Energy Stable Schemes For Nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard And Allen-Cahn Equations, Zhen Guan
Doctoral Dissertations
This PhD dissertation concentrates on the numerical analysis of a family of fully discrete, energy stable schemes for nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn type equations, which are integro-partial differential equations (IPDEs). These two IPDEs -- along with the evolution equation from dynamical density functional theory (DDFT), which is a generalization of the nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation -- are used to model a variety of physical and biological processes such as crystallization, phase transformations, and tumor growth. This dissertation advances the computational state-of-the-art related to this field in the following main contributions: (I) We propose and analyze a family of two-dimensional unconditionally energy …

Analysis Of Solvability And Applications Of Stochastic Optimal Control Problems Through Systems Of Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations., Kirill Yevgenyevich Yakovlev
Doctoral Dissertations
A stochastic metapopulation model is investigated. The model is motivated by a deterministic model previously presented to model the black bear population of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. The new model involves randomness and the associated methods and results differ greatly from the deterministic analogue. A stochastic differential equation is studied and the associated results are stated and proved. Connections between a parabolic partial differential equation and a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations is analyzed.
A "four-step" numerical scheme and a Markovian type iterative numerical scheme are implemented. Algorithms and programs in the programming languages C and …
Energy Functional For Nuclear Masses, Michael Giovanni Bertolli
Energy Functional For Nuclear Masses, Michael Giovanni Bertolli
Doctoral Dissertations
An energy functional is formulated for mass calculations of nuclei across the nuclear chart with major-shell occupations as the relevant degrees of freedom. The functional is based on Hohenberg-Kohn theory. Motivation for its form comes from both phenomenology and relevant microscopic systems, such as the three-level Lipkin Model. A global fit of the 17-parameter functional to nuclear masses yields a root- mean-square deviation of χ[chi] = 1.31 MeV, on the order of other mass models. The construction of the energy functional includes the development of a systematic method for selecting and testing possible functional terms. Nuclear radii are computed within …
Electronic Excitations In Ytio3 Using Tddft And Electronic Structure Using A Multiresolution Framework, William Scott Thornton
Electronic Excitations In Ytio3 Using Tddft And Electronic Structure Using A Multiresolution Framework, William Scott Thornton
Doctoral Dissertations
We performed ab initio studies of the electronic excitation spectra of the ferro- magnetic, Mott-insulator YTiO3 using density functional theory (DFT) and time- dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). In the ground state description, we included a Hubbard U to account for the strong correlations present within the d states on the cation. The excitation spectra was calculated using TDDFT linear response formalism in both the optical limit and the limit of large wavevector transfer. In order to identify the local d-d transitions in the response, we also computed the density response of YTiO3 using a novel technique where the basis …
A Time-And-Space Parallelized Algorithm For The Cable Equation, Chuan Li
A Time-And-Space Parallelized Algorithm For The Cable Equation, Chuan Li
Doctoral Dissertations
Electrical propagation in excitable tissue, such as nerve fibers and heart muscle, is described by a nonlinear diffusion-reaction parabolic partial differential equation for the transmembrane voltage $V(x,t)$, known as the cable equation. This equation involves a highly nonlinear source term, representing the total ionic current across the membrane, governed by a Hodgkin-Huxley type ionic model, and requires the solution of a system of ordinary differential equations. Thus, the model consists of a PDE (in 1-, 2- or 3-dimensions) coupled to a system of ODEs, and it is very expensive to solve, especially in 2 and 3 dimensions.
In order to …
Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods For A Diffuse Interface Model Of Biological Growth, Andreas C Aristotelous
Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods For A Diffuse Interface Model Of Biological Growth, Andreas C Aristotelous
Doctoral Dissertations
This PhD dissertation concentrates on the development and application of adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element (DG-FE) methods for the numerical solution of a Cahn-Hilliard-type diffuse interface model for biological growth. Models of this type have become popular for studying cancerous tumor progression in vivo. The work in this dissertation advances the state-of-the-art in the following ways: To our knowledge the work here contains the first primitive-variable, completely discontinuous numerical implementations of a 2D scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard equation as well as a diffuse interface model of cancer growth. We provide numerical evidence that the schemes above are convergent, with the …
Differential Equation Models And Numerical Methods For Reverse Engineering Genetic Regulatory Networks, Mi Un Yoon
Differential Equation Models And Numerical Methods For Reverse Engineering Genetic Regulatory Networks, Mi Un Yoon
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation develops and analyzes differential equation-based mathematical models and efficient numerical methods and algorithms for genetic regulatory network identification. The primary objectives of the dissertation are to design, analyze, and test a general variational framework and numerical methods for seeking its approximate solutions for reverse engineering genetic regulatory networks from microarray datasets using the approach based on differential equation modeling. In the proposed variational framework, no structure assumption on the genetic network is presumed, instead, the network is solely determined by the microarray profile of the network components and is identified through a well chosen variational principle which minimizes …

Biological Simulations And Biologically Inspired Adaptive Systems, Edgar Alfredo Duenez-Guzman
Doctoral Dissertations
Many of the most challenging problems in modern science lie at the interface of several fields. To study these problems, there is a pressing need for trans-disciplinary research incorporating computational and mathematical models. This dissertation presents a selection of new computational and mathematical techniques applied to biological simulations and problem solving: (i) The dynamics of alliance formation in primates are studied using a continuous time individual-based model. It is observed that increasing the cognitive abilities of individuals stabilizes alliances in a phase transition-like manner. Moreover, with strong cultural transmission an egalitarian regime is established in a few generations. (ii) A …
