Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe principles of up-to-date methods used in physical modelling
- analyse the selected problem and suggest suitable method for its solution
- apply both of the previous steps to formulate the problem within a chosen model and to obtain its solution.
Learning outcomes
The students - know the theoretical basis of finite difference and finite element methods - are able to use these methods for the discretisation and solution of equations of mathematical physics
Syllabus
  • Finite differences: discretisation of the problem, approximation of the differential operator, border condition of the mixed type.
  • Finite elements method: weak formulation of the variational problem, discretisation of the problem and approximation of the sought for function, n-dimensional generic element, approximation and shape function over the element, isoparametrical elements, momentum integrals of the element; mesh generators, border conditions and the damping zone method.
  • Beyond FEM: finite differences in the time domain (FDTD), generic and adapted for elmag. field modelling; description of plane incident light on a layered periodic structures (RCWA)

Course objectives
The course introduces students into the methods presently used in modelling - the knowledge on the physical and mathematical background of these methods is inevitable for their succesfull implementation both individually as well as when using a third-party software.
Particularly, basics of selected topics from modern methods of numerical solution of the direct partial differential equation problem with initial/border conditions are taught.
The necessary theory is lectured simultaneously with application to basic type of examples (including hydrodynamics, Laplace equation, heat transfer equation and equation of diffusion, wave equation and its harmonic subcase (Helmholtz equation); Schrodinger equation, etc.).

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe principles of up-to-date methods used in physical modelling
- analyse the selected problem and suggest suitable method for its solution
- apply both of the previous steps to formulate the problem within a chosen model and to obtain its solution.

Also, the available software packages for particular types of problems are introduced.
Syllabus

  • Finite elements method: weak formulation of the variational problem, discretisation of the problem and approximation of the sought for function, n-dimensional generic element, approximation and shape function over the element, isoparametrical elements, momentum integrals of the element; mesh generators, border conditions and the damping zone method.
  • Beyond FEM: finite differences in the time domain (FDTD), generic and adapted for elmag. field modelling; description of plane incident light on a layered periodic structures (RCWA)

Timetable
Tue 12:00–12:50 Fs1 6/1017
Prerequisites
the knowledge of the basic numerical methods (e.g. at the level up to and including F6150)
basics of MATLAB (possibly to gain during the semester)
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
there are 6 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
Course objectives
The course is primarily intended for those students of the Master degree and/or doctoral degree programmes who consider future involvement in modelling in physics, both in academic and commercial domain.
The course introduces students into the methods presently used in modelling; the knowledge on the physical and mathematical background of these methods is inevitable for their succesfull implementation both individually as well as when using a third-party software.
Particularly, basics of selected topics from modern methods of numerical solution of the direct differential equation problem with initial/border conditions are taught as well as a selection from advanced topics in experimental data processing.
The necessary theory is lectured simultaneously with application to basic type of examples (including hydrodynamics, Laplace equation, heat transfer equation and equation of diffusion, wave equation and its harmonic subcase (Helmholtz equation); Schrodinger equation).

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe principles of up-to-date methods used in physical modelling
- analyse the selected problem and suggest suitable method for its solution
- apply both of the previous steps to formulate the problem within a chosen model and to obtain its solution.

Also, the available software packages for particular types of problems are introduced.
Syllabus
  • Finite differences: discretisation ofthe problem, approximation of the differential operator, border condition of the mixed type.
  • Finite elements method: weak formulation of the variational problem, discretisation of the problem and approximation of the sought for function, n-dimensional generic element, approximation and shape function over the element, isoparametrical elements, momentum integrals of the element; mesh generators, border conditions and the damping zone method.
  • Beyond FEM: finite differences in the time domain (FDTD), generic and adapted for elmag. field modelling.
  • Advanced data manipulation: wavelet transformation and noise reduction, cosine transformation.
  • Specialised minimalisation: function of many variables, problem of many extremes, Ritz variation.
  • Genetic algorithms: chromozome and genotype, crossover (single-point, multiple-point, cyclic), mutation, star schemes, effectifisation (Grey coding).
  • Forward neural networks with backpropagation learning and mutually connected NN: function of several variables and the notion of neuron (configuration space splitting), perceptron and its activation, neural network (forward, Hopfield), learning (backpropagation), network optimalisation (initial guesses, GA).

basics of programming (possible to gain during the semester), presumably in either Matlab, fortran, C/C++, python.
Suggested knowledge: F5330 Basic numerical methods, F4500 Python for physicists
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe principles of up-to-date methods used in physical modelling
- analyse the selected problem and suggest suitable method for its solution
- apply both of the previous steps to formulate the problem within a chosen model and to obtain its solution.
Learning outcomes
The students - know the theoretical basis of finite difference and finite element methods - are able to use these methods for the discretisation and solution of equations of mathematical physics
Syllabus
  • Finite differences: discretisation of the problem, approximation of the differential operator, border condition of the mixed type.
  • Finite elements method: weak formulation of the variational problem, discretisation of the problem and approximation of the sought for function, n-dimensional generic element, approximation and shape function over the element, isoparametrical elements, momentum integrals of the element; mesh generators, border conditions and the damping zone method.
  • Beyond FEM: finite differences in the time domain (FDTD), generic and adapted for elmag. field modelling; description of plane incident light on a layered periodic structures (RCWA)

Course objectives
The course is primarily intended for those students of the Master degree and/or doctoral degree programmes who consider future involvement in modelling in physics, both in academic and commercial domain.
The course introduces students into the methods presently used in modelling; the knowledge on the physical and mathematical background of these methods is inevitable for their succesfull implementation both individually as well as when using a third-party software.
Particularly, basics of selected topics from modern methods of numerical solution of the direct differential equation problem with initial/border conditions are taught as well as a selection from advanced topics in experimental data processing.
The necessary theory is lectured simultaneously with application to basic type of examples (including hydrodynamics, Laplace equation, heat transfer equation and equation of diffusion, wave equation and its harmonic subcase (Helmholtz equation); the equilibrium lattice parameters, phonons; eikonal equation).

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe principles of up-to-date methods used in physical modelling
- analyse the selected problem and suggest suitable method for its solution
- apply both of the previous steps to formulate the problem within a chosen model and to obtain its solution.

  • Beyond FEM: boundary element method and its combination with FEM using outer radial discretisation, finite differences in the time domain; basics of level set methods for Hamilton-Jacobi type equations: Fast Marching Algorithms.
  • Advanced data manipulation: wavelet transformation and noise reduction, 2D Fourrier transformation in NMR, cosine transformation.
  • Specialised minimalisation: function of many variables, problem of many extremes, Ritz variation.
  • Genetic algorithms: chromozome and genotype, crossover (single-point, multiple-point, cyclic), mutation, star schemes, effectifisation (Grey coding).
  • Forward neural networks with backpropagation learning and mutually connected NN: function of several variables and the notion of neuron (configuration space splitting), perceptron and its activation, neural network (forward, Hopfield), learning (backpropagation), network optimalisation (initial guesses, GA and simmulated annealing).
