AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

after completing this course, the student will be able to:

  • apply the acquired knowledge on the treatment of experimental data, the numerical calculation, the variational methods and PDE to the formulation of physico-mathematical models
  •  

know how to choose from time to time the best numerical methods for the treatment of the experimental data and the simulation of models

TEACHING METHODS

Lecture hours: 80; Practise hours: 10 (MATLAB)

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Normed spaces, orthonormal spaces, operators. Function approximation in a normed space, best uniform approximation. Numerical differentiation and integration. Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODE). Compatibility of linear systems. Least squares solution. Singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix with applications. Variational calculus: Euler-Lagrange equations. Variational formulation of physico-mathematical models. Classification of partial differential equations (PDE). Hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic second-order linear PDEs. Examples of PDE-based models. Separation of variables. Approximate solution of linear and nonlinear PDEs by weighted-residual methods. Applications: traffic models, nonlinear propagation (solitons).
