Analysis of a Coupled Fluid-Elastic Interaction Problem
(2023-01)
In this thesis, a non-linear system of partial differential equations is studied, describing the motions of an elastic structure which is immersed into an incompressible viscous fluid. The displacement of the elastic structure is modelled by a Lamé system and the fluid velocity as well as the fluid pressure are described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The structure and the fluid are coupled via two boundary conditions at the interface which correspond to continuity of velocities and forces. As the elasticity is ...

Finite Element Simulations for the Design of Therapeutic Approaches for Retinal Diseases
(2022)
The retinal disease age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in industrialized countries. In this thesis, motivated by the drug (antibody) treatment of this disease, we designed long-term three dimensional Finite Element simulations of the drug distribution in the healthy human eye. The underlying model consists of a time-dependent convection-diffusion equation coupled to a stationary Darcy equation describing the flow of the aqueous humor through the vitreous medium. We replaced the ...

Computing Ground States for Fermi-Bose Mixtures through Efficient Numerical Methods
(2023-05)
In this work, we will first review the Quantum Mechanics theory to derive the main equations. Next, we will analyze these equations by Functional Analysis methods to find conditions for existence, uniqueness, multiplicity, and other properties as positivity. Next, we will review and develop some numerical methods for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, its time version, generalizations with rotational terms, and systems of NLSE (NLSS). We notice that the main problem to run numerical methods is the memory ...

Generalized Involutive Bases and Their Induced Free Resolutions
(2022-05)
In this thesis, we generalize several types of involutive and marked bases for ideals in quotient rings of commutative polynomial rings. We apply these new types of bases to the analysis of infinite free resolutions and of Hilbert schemes defined over certain types of quotient rings. We are mostly concerned with Pommaret and Janet bases; the marked bases we consider are marked over monomial submodules that are quasi-stable, i.e., that possess finite Pommaret bases.
Involutive bases of the types we consider induce ...

Generation Human Body Motion by the Centralized Networks
(2023)
The main goal of the thesis is to describe and study reduced models for efficient simulations of human body motions (HBM). To this end, we propose new coupled oscillator models, which are networks of dynamically coupled elements. These networks consist of a few of centers and many satellites. The centers evolve in time as periodical oscillators with different frequencies. The satellite states are defined via center states by a radial basis function (RBF) networks. To simulate different motions we adjust the parameter ...

On the analysis of path-dependent functionals of stochastic PDEs
(2023)
Weak approximation methods for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) are concerned with approximating the probability distribution of the solution process rather than the realizations of the solution process itself. In this thesis, we provide new results and methods concerning the weak error analysis of numerical approximations of path-dependent functionals of solution processes of SPDEs. Two separate approaches to analyzing weak approximation errors are considered: the Itô calculus approach and the ...

No Chaos in Dixon's System
(2020)
The so-called Dixon system is often cited as an example of a two-dimensional (continuous) dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behaviour, if its two parameters take their value in a certain domain. We provide first a rigorous proof that there is no chaos in Dixon's system. Then we perform a complete bifurcation analysis of the system showing that the parameter space can be decomposed into sixteen different regions in each of which the system exhibits qualitatively the same behaviour. In particular, we prove that ...

Symmetrien von Differentialgleichungen via Vessiot-Theorie
(2021-04)
Die übliche Definition des Symmetriebegriffs einer Differentialgleichung lautet wie folgt: Symmetrien sind Transformationen, die Lösungen wieder in Lösungen überführen. Modelliert man Differentialgleichungen als Untermannigfaltigkeiten eines Jetbündels, so lassen sich zwei Arten von Symmetrien unterscheiden: innere und äußere. Der erste Fall entspricht einer Transformation, die ausschließlich auf der Differentialgleichung definiert ist. Im zweiten Fall ist die betrachtete Transformation auf dem gesamten umgebenden ...

Algorithmic Reduction of Biochemical Reaction Networks
(2022-02-25)
The dynamics of species concentrations of chemical reaction networks are given by autonomous first-order ordinary differential equations. Singular perturbation methods allow the computation of approximate reduced systems that make explicit several time scales with corresponding invariant manifolds. This thesis presents:
1. An algorithmic approach for the computation of such reductions on solid analytical grounds. Required scalings are derived using tropical geometry. The existence of invariant manifolds is subject ...

Projektbericht QPL-Maßnahme I.3: QPL-Maßnahmen im Bereich der Mathematikpropädeutik
(2021-04)
Durch das Team des Fachs Quantitative Methoden/VWL des Fachbereichs Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Universität Kassel werden seit 2012 QPL-geförderte mathematikpropädeutische Maßnahmen angeboten (Vorkurse, Brückenkurse, offene Lernumgebung, Online-Tests), um Studienanfänger*innen den Einstieg in die universitäre Mathematik und die Aufarbeitung mathematischer Defizite zu erleichtern. Die Maßnahmen wurden jährlich von eigens erstellten Leistungstests und Befragungen begleitet. Mit den erhobenen Daten können weitreichende ...
