Power Series Representations of Hypergeometric Type and Non-Holonomic Functions in Computer Algebra

A Laurent-Puiseux series
$$ \sum\limits_{n = n_0}^{\infty }{a_n (z - z_0)^{n/k} (a_n \in K, k \in ℕ, n_0 \in ℤ ) } \quad (1) $$
where $ k $ denotes the corresponding Puiseux number and $ K $ an infinite computable field - mostly $ K= ℚ(α_1,\ldots,α_n) $ : a field of rational functions in several variables, is mainly characterized by the general coefficient. We consider the case where an is a term of an m-fold hypergeometric sequence.
That is $ a_{n+m} = r(n) a_n $ for all sufficiently large integers $ n, r(n) $ ...

Development of a Preconditioning Scheme for Real Gases using Asymptotic Expansions
(2022)
Bei der Beschreibung von Strömungen wird klassischerweise zwischen inkompressiblen und kompressiblen Bereichen unterschieden. Während inkompressible Strömungen durch ein divergenzfreies Geschwindigkeitsfeld charakterisiert werden, sind kompressible Strömungsfelder durch Expansionsfächer, Kontaktunstetigkeiten und Stoßwellen gekennzeichnet. Die beiden Bereiche werden damit durch stark unterschiedliche Systeme partieller Differentialgleichungen beschrieben. Diese Unterscheidung zeigt sich auch in der numerischen ...

Optimal control of a rate-independent system constrained to parameterized balanced viscosity solutions
(2022)
In this dissertation, we analyze an optimal control problem governed by a rate-independent system in an abstract infinite-dimensional setting. The rate-independent system is characterized by a nonconvex stored energy functional, which depends on time via a time-dependent external loading, and by a convex dissipation potential, which is assumed to be bounded and positively homogeneous of degree one.
The optimal control problem uses the external load as control variable and is constrained to normalized ...

Beliefs von Lehramtsstudierenden zur doppelten Diskontinuität
(2021-09)
Das Ziel der Forschungsarbeit ist die Untersuchung von Überzeugungen von Lehramtsstudierenden zur sogenannten doppelten Diskontinuität. Genauer geht es um die Beforschung von Überzeugungen zur Kohärenz zwischen Schulmathematik und Hochschulmathematik und die Überzeugungen zur Relevanz der universitären Mathematik für die spätere Tätigkeit als Lehrkraft in der Schule. Dabei soll erstens der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Überzeugungen Lehramtsstudierende zur doppelten Diskontinuität haben und zweitens eine Antwort ...

Modeling of human vitreous as viscoelastic fluid considering the orientation of collagen fibers
(2021-11)
For the most common treatment of retinal diseases worldwide by drug distribution in the human vitreous we developed the mathematical model of the vitreous. Compare to previous works we focus on the vitreous as a viscoelastic fluid including its heterogeneous property due to the orientation of collagen fibers. By using the incompressible viscoelastic Burgers-type model based on experimental data as the specific constitutive equation in the setting of continuum mechanics we considered its non-Newtonian nature. This ...

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 ...

Mathematical Modelling and Adaptive Finite Element Simulation of Viscoelastic Fluid-Structure Interaction Systems and Chemical Processes with Applications to Ophthalmology
(2023)
The aim of this thesis is the numerical analysis of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations and their application to ophthalmology. Firstly, we consider fluid-structure interaction problems where the fluid is either Newtonian or viscoelastic. The structure is modelled as a hyperelastic material. The application to ophthalmology lies in the interaction of the vitreous with its surrounding elastic structures like the sclera and the lens. The underlying flow in the vitreous is modelled by a viscoelastic Burgers ...

Explicit Description Of Isogeny And Isomorphism Classes Of Drinfeld Modules Of Higher Rank Over Finite Fields
(2020)
When jumping from the number fields theory to the function fields theory, one cannot miss the deep analogy between rank 1 Drinfeld modules and the group of root of unity and the analogy between rank 2 Drinfeld modules and elliptic curves. But so far, there is no known structure in number fields theory that is analogous to the Drinfeld modules of higher rank r ≥ 3. In this thesis we investigate the classes of those Drinfeld modules of higher rank r ≥ 3 defined over a finite field L. We describe explicitly the Weil ...

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 ...
