Simulation of Gaussian random fields on surfaces using the isogeometric finite element method

We are concerned with the fast simulation of random fields on closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are generated by the (Whittle-) Matérn class of covariance functions. To this end, we solve the underlying fractional stochastic partial differential equation with additive white noise by using an isogeometric finite element method on the surface in combination with the Balakrishnan integral representation of the solution. The solution of the underlying linear system of equations is performed by means of a geometric multigrid method that naturally underlies the isogeometric approach. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the approach.

On the Compressibility of Integral Operators in Anisotropic Wavelet Coordinates

The present article is concerned with the s*-compressibility of classical boundary integral operators in anisotropic wavelet coordinates. Having the s*-compressibility at hand, one can design adaptive wavelet algorithms which are asymptotically optimal, meaning that any target accuracy can be achieved at a computational expense that stays proportional to the number of degrees of freedom (within the setting determined by an underlying wavelet basis) that would ideally be necessary for realising that target accuracy if full knowledge about the unknown solution were given. As we consider anisotropic wavelet bases, we can achieve higher convergence rates compared to the standard, isotropic setting. Especially, edge singularities of anisotropic nature can be resolved.

On Sobolev and Besov Spaces of Hybrid Regularity

The present article is concerned with the nonlinear approximation of functions in the Sobolev space H^q with respect to a tensor-product, or hyperbolic wavelet basis on the unit n-cube. Here, q is a real number, which is not necessarily positive. We derive Jackson and Bernstein inequalities to obtain that the approximation classes contain Besov spaces of hybrid regularity. Especially, we show that all functions that can be approximated by classical wavelets are also approximable by tensor-product wavelets at least at the same rate. In particular, this implies that for nonnegative regularity, the classical Besov spaces of regularity q+sn, integrability and weak index t, with 1/t = s + 1/2, are included in the Besov spaces of hybrid regularity with isotropic regularity q and additional mixed regularity s.

Isogeometric shape optimization for scaffold structures

The development of materials with specific structural properties is of huge practical interest, for example, for medical applications or for the development of light weight structures in aeronautics. In this article, we combine shape optimization and homogenization for the optimal design of the microstructure in scaffolds. Given the current microstructure, we apply the isogeometric boundary element method to compute the effective tensor and to update the microstructure by using the shape gradient in order to match the desired effective tensor. Extensive numerical studies are presented to demonstrate the applicability and feasibility of the approach.
