In this paper, we present a numerical method, based on iterative Bregman projections, to solve the optimal transport problem with Coulomb cost. This is related to the strong interaction limit of Density Functional Theory. The first idea is to introduce an entropic regularization of the Kantorovich formulation of the Optimal Transport problem. The regularized problem then corresponds to the projection of a vector on the intersection of the constraints with respect to the Kullback-Leibler distance. Iterative Bregman projections on each marginal constraint are explicit which enables us to approximate the optimal transport plan. We validate the numerical method against analytical test cases.

The tempered fractional diffusion equation could be recognized as the generalization of the classic fractional diffusion equation that the truncation effects are included in the bounded domains. This paper focuses on designing the high order fully di screte local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method based on the generalized alternating numerical fluxes for the tempered fractional diffusion equation. From a practical point of view, the generalized alternating numerical flux which is different from the purely alternating numerical flux has a broader range of applications. We first design an efficient finite difference scheme to approximate the tempered fractional derivatives and then a fully discrete LDG method for the tempered fractional diffusion equation. We prove that the scheme is unconditionally stable and convergent with the order $O(h^{k+1}+tau^{2-alpha})$, where $h, tau$ and $k$ are the step size in space, time and the degree of piecewise polynomials, respectively. Finally numerical experimets are performed to show the effectiveness and testify the accuracy of the method.

This paper deals with simulation of flow and transport in porous media such as transport of groundwater contaminants. We first discuss how macro scale equations are derived and which terms have to be closed by models. The transport of tracers is stro ngly influenced by pore scale velocity structure and large scale inhomogeneities in the permeability field. The velocity structure on the pore scale is investigated by direct numerical simulations of the 3D velocity field in a random sphere pack. The velocity probability density functions are strongly skewed, including some negative velocities. The large probability for very small velocities might be the reason for non-Fickian dispersion in the initial phase of contaminant transport. We present a method to determine large scale distributions of the permeability field from point-wise velocity measurements. The adjoint-based optimisation algorithm delivers fully satisfying agreement between input and estimated permeability fields. Finally numerical methods for convection dominated tracer transports are investigated from a theoretical point of view. It is shown that high order Finite Element Methods can reduce or even eliminate non-physical oscillations in the solution without introducing additional numerical diffusivity.
Performing analysis, optimization and control using simulations of many-particle systems is computationally demanding when no macroscopic model for the dynamics of the variables of interest is available. In case observations on the macroscopic scale can only be produced via legacy simulator code or live experiments, finding a model for these macroscopic variables is challenging. In this paper, we employ time-lagged embedding theory to construct macroscopic numerical models from output data of a black box, such as a simulator or live experiments. Since the state space variables of the constructed, coarse model are dynamically closed and observable by an observation function, we call these variables closed observables. The approach is an online-offline procedure, as model construction from observation data is performed offline and the new model can then be used in an online phase, independent of the original. We illustrate the theoretical findings with numerical models constructed from time series of a two-dimensional ordinary differential equation system, and from the density evolution of a transport-diffusion system. Applicability is demonstrated in a real-world example, where passengers leave a train and the macroscopic model for the density flow onto the platform is constructed with our approach. If only the macroscopic variables are of interest, simulation runtimes with the numerical model are three orders of magnitude lower compared to simulations with the original fine scale model. We conclude with a brief discussion of possibilities of numerical model construction in systematic upscaling, network optimization and uncertainty quantification.

In this paper, we propose a new parallel algorithm which could work naturally on the parallel computer with arbitrary number of processors. This algorithm is named Virtual Transmission Method (VTM). Its physical backgroud is the lossless transmission line and microwave network. The basic idea of VTM is to insert lossless transmission lines into the sparse linear system to achieve distributed computing. VTM is proved to be convergent to solve SPD linear system. Preconditioning method and performance model are presented. Numerical experiments show that VTM is efficient, accurate and stable. Accompanied with VTM, we bring in a new technique to partition the symmetric linear system, which is named Generalized Node & Branch Tearing (GNBT). It is based on Kirchhoffs Current Law from circuit theory. We proved that GNBT is feasible to partition any SPD linear system.
A version of generalized eigenoscillation method is applied to the problem about resonant effects in metallic nanoparticles. An approach is proposed, that permits to avoid calculating all higher eigenoscillations except the resonant one. An algorithm for determination of the resonant eigenoscillation, based on the Galerkin procedure, is described in details for the case of bodies of revolution. Model numerical results are presented.
