A deep theoretical understanding is necessary to produce a powerful idea leading to a successful algorithm. Efficient and robust implementation is the key to make the algorithm perform satisfactorily. The extra insight obtained by solving real--life problems brings out the structure of the method more clearly and suggests often ways to improve the numerical algorithm. It is my intention to impart the beauty and complexity found in both the theoretical investigation of the adaptive algorithm proposed here, i.e., the coupling of Rosenbrock methods in time and multilevel finite elements in space, and its realization. I hope that this method will find many more interesting applications.}, language = {en} } @misc{LangErdmann2000, author = {Lang, Jens and Erdmann, Bodo}, title = {Adaptive Linearly Implicit Methods for Heat and Mass Transfer Problems}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-5892}, number = {00-21}, year = {2000}, abstract = {Dynamical process simulation of complex real-life problems often requires the use of modern algorithms, which automatically adapt both the time and space discretization in order to get error-controlled approximations of the solution. In this paper, a combination of linearly implicit time integrators of Rosenbrock type and adaptive multilevel finite elements based on a posteriori error estimates is presented. This approach has proven to work quite satisfactorily for a wide range of challenging practical problems. We show the performance of our adaptive method for two applications that arise in the study of flame balls and brine transport in porous media.}, language = {en} } @misc{ErdmannKoberLangetal.2001, author = {Erdmann, Bodo and Kober, Cornelia and Lang, Jens and Sader, Robert and Zeilhofer, Hans-Florian and Deuflhard, Peter}, title = {Efficient and Reliable Finite Element Methods for Simulation of the Human Mandible}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-6403}, number = {01-14}, year = {2001}, abstract = {By computed tomography data (CT), the individual geometry of the mandible is quite well reproduced, also the separation between cortical and trabecular bone. Using anatomical knowledge about the architecture and the functional potential of the masticatory muscles, realistic situations were approximated. The solution of the underlying partial differential equations describing linear elastic material behaviour is provided by an adaptive finite element method. Estimations of the discretization error, local grid refinement, and multilevel techniques guarantee the reliability and efficiency of the method.}, language = {en} }
