Content: Nonlinear Optimization

Unconstrained optimization problems are considered and different solution methods are presented, e.g. the conjugate gradient method, steepest descent and Newtons method. In addition to the numerical implementation, an analysis of the methods will be carried out. Programming tasks (in MATLAB or PYTHON) are very important in the exercises. Prerequisites for the course are basic knowledge in Analysis, Linear Algebra and an introduction to Numerical Analysis as well as MATLAB or PYTHON programming skills

This course has been held online by Jun.Prof. Gabriele Ciaramella at the University of Konstanz in the (German) summer term 2020 with lecture material in English, Italian and German. Participants will have access to the lecture videos, a manuscript and corresponding exercises each week. An advanced student from the University of Konstanz will guide through the course and in particular discuss the solution of the exercise sheets (in English).

Participation is free, but limited. For registration please follow this link.

There are two possibilities to participate. The first one is an individual participation as capacity-building program. A certificate will be issued in case of a regular participation. The second possibility is that university docents embed this lecture into their class, which means that both students and professors will have access to the lecture material and the students will be additionally guided by their docent.

This course is devoted to the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). A PDE is a function of at least two independent variables in which both derivative information and function values may appear. PDEs play a very important role in continuum mechanics for modeling applications in physics, biology, chemistry, finance, mechanical/civil/environmental engineering. The focus in this course is on numerical modeling of PDEs, which allow us to discretize them for computer simulations. We discuss various discretization schemes, design of algorithms and their rigorous numerical analysis. Moreover, we discuss the numerical solution of the arising linear equation systems. This class is an important part of scientific computing eduction in which mathematical modeling, numerical methods, and computer implementations interact.

The course is held online by Prof. Dr. Thomas Wick at the University of Hannover in the (German) winter term 2020/21. Participants include students from Hannover as well as students and docents from India and Peru. The lecture material will be in English with a manuscript and corresponding exercises each week. There will be live discussions offered by Prof. Wick as well as weekly tutorials offered by advanced students from the University of Hannover that will discuss the solution of the exercise sheets.
