Like hybrid methods, the approach aims at combining the advantages of direct and indirect methods. Unlike hybrid methods, however, our method is directly based on interior-point concepts in function space --- realized via an adaptive multilevel scheme applied to the complementarity formulation and numerical continuation along the central path. Existence of the central path and its continuation towards the solution point is analyzed in some theoretical detail. An adaptive stepsize control with respect to the duality gap parameter is worked out in the framework of affine invariant inexact Newton methods. Finally, the performance of a first version of our new type of algorithm is documented by the successful treatment of the well-known intricate windshear problem.}, language = {en} } @incollection{ZachowWeiserHegeetal.2005, author = {Zachow, Stefan and Weiser, Martin and Hege, Hans-Christian and Deuflhard, Peter}, title = {Soft Tissue Prediction in Computer Assisted Maxillofacial Surgery Planning}, series = {Biomechanics Applied to Computer Assisted Surgery}, booktitle = {Biomechanics Applied to Computer Assisted Surgery}, editor = {Payan, Y.}, publisher = {Research Signpost}, pages = {277 -- 298}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{MoualeuNgangueWeiserEhrigetal., author = {Moualeu-Ngangue, Dany Pascal and Weiser, Martin and Ehrig, Rainald and Deuflhard, Peter}, title = {Optimal control for a tuberculosis model with undetected cases in Cameroon}, series = {Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation}, volume = {20}, journal = {Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation}, number = {3}, doi = {10.1016/j.cnsns.2014.06.037}, pages = {986 -- 1003}, abstract = {This paper considers the optimal control of tuberculosis through education, diagnosis campaign and chemoprophylaxis of latently infected.

In the course of many years of close cooperation with clinics, the medical problem gave rise to quite a number of subtle mathematical problems, part of which had been unsolved when the common project started. Efficiency of numerical algorithms, i.e. computational speed and monitored reliability, play a decisive role for the medical treatment. Off-the-shelf software had turned out to be not sufficient to meet the requirements of medicine. Rather, new mathematical theory as well as new numerical algorithms had to be developed. In order to make our algorithms useful in the clinical environment, new visualization software, a virtual lab, including 3D geometry processing of individual virtual patients had to be designed and implemented. Moreover, before the problems could be attacked by numerical algorithms, careful mathematical modelling had to be done. Finally, parameter identification and constrained optimization for the PDEs had to be newly analyzed and realized over the individual patient's geometry. Our new techniques had an impact on the specificity of the individual patients' treatment and on the construction of an improved hyperthermia applicator.}, language = {en} }
