The library is written in C++ and is based on the \textsc{Dune} interface. The code is independent of spatial dimension and works with different grid managers. An important feature is the mix-and-match approach to discretizing systems of PDEs with different ansatz and test spaces for all variables. We describe the mathematical concepts behind the library as well as its structure, illustrating its use at several examples on the way.}, language = {en} } @article{SchielaStoeckleinWeiser, author = {Schiela, Anton and St{\"o}cklein, Matthias and Weiser, Martin}, title = {A primal dual projection algorithm for efficient constraint preconditioning}, series = {SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing}, volume = {43}, journal = {SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing}, number = {6}, doi = {10.1137/20M1380739}, pages = {A4095 -- A4120}, abstract = {We consider a linear iterative solver for large scale linearly constrained quadratic minimization problems that arise, for example, in optimization with PDEs. By a primal-dual projection (PDP) iteration, which can be interpreted and analysed as a gradient method on a quotient space, the given problem can be solved by computing sulutions for a sequence of constrained surrogate problems, projections onto the feasible subspaces, and Lagrange multiplier updates. As a major application we consider a class of optimization problems with PDEs, where PDP can be applied together with a projected cg method using a block triangular constraint preconditioner.

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} } @article{SchielaWeiser2008, author = {Schiela, Anton and Weiser, Martin}, title = {Superlinear convergence of the Control Reduced Interior Point Method for PDE Constrained Optimization}, series = {Computational Optimization and Applications}, volume = {39}, journal = {Computational Optimization and Applications}, number = {3}, pages = {369 -- 393}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{WeiserGaenzlerSchiela2007, author = {Weiser, Martin and G{\"a}nzler, Tobias and Schiela, Anton}, title = {A control reduced primal interior point method for a class of control constrained optimal control problems}, series = {Comput.
