Scale-Bridging Numerical Methods (Winter Semester 2025/26)

In this seminar, we will cover numerical methods to solve partial differential equations that are able to bridge scale discrepancies in the problem. This includes, e.g., methods that upscale fine information to a coarser scale or methods that operate on multiple scales. To attend the seminar, the content of the lectures Numerische Methoden für Differentialgleichungen (Numerical Methods for Differential Equations), Einführung in das Wissenschaftliche Rechnen (Introduction to Scientific Computing), and Finite Element Methods is helpful. Generally, it is possible to attend the seminar if you have heard at least one of these lectures (or are familiar with the respective content). If you want to attend the seminar with partial knowledge, please discuss with Moritz Hauck in advance.

We plan to have the seminar as a block course. That is, we will have talks from November 10 to December 2 (from 11:30am - 1:30pm on Monday, and 10:00am - 11:00am on Tuesday).

A list of possible topics can be found here. Extensions and modifications are generally possible, for instance regarding additional literature. The main language of the seminar is English, but talks can also be held in German.

The topics have already been distributed. However, there are still available slots. Please contact us if you are interested.
