TY - GEN A1 - Deuflhard, Peter A1 - Weiser, Martin A1 - Seebass, Martin T1 - A New Nonlinear Elliptic Multilevel FEM Applied to Regional Hyperthermia N2 - In the clinical cancer therapy of regional hyperthermia nonlinear perfusion effects inside and outside the tumor seem to play a not negligible role. A stationary model of such effects leads to a nonlinear Helmholtz term within an elliptic boundary value problem. The present paper reports about the application of a recently designed adaptive multilevel FEM to this problem. For several 3D virtual patients, nonlinear versus linear model is studied. Moreover, the numerical efficiency of the new algorithm is compared with a former application of an adaptive FEM to the corresponding instationary model PDE.

Das DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm 2388 „Hundert plus – Verlängerung der Lebensdauer komplexer Baustrukturen durch intelligente Digitalisierung“ (SPP100+) strebt an, durch digitale Innovationen und prädiktive Instandhaltungsstrategien die Nutzungsdauer bestehender Brückenbauwerke zu verlängern. Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert sich auf das SPP100+ zugehörige Cluster „Monitoring und Simulation“, das sieben Teilprojekte umfasst. Die Projekte entwickeln fortschrittliche Methoden zur Überwachung und Zustandsbewertung von Brücken mittels Digitaler Zwillinge, hochauflösender Sensortechnik und numerischer Simulationen. Innovative Ansätze wie nichtlineare Modellanpassungen, stochastische Methoden und künstliche Intelligenz ermöglichen eine präzise und frühzeitige Identifizierung potenzieller Schäden.

N2 - Bridges in Germany and across Europe face significant challenges due to increasing traffic loads and aging structures. The DFG Priority Programme 2388 “Hundred Plus – Extending the Lifetime of Complex Engineering Structures through Intelligent Digitalization” (SPP100+) aims to extend the lifespan of existing bridge structures through digital innovations and predictive maintenance strategies. This paper focuses on the SPP100+ affiliated cluster “Monitoring and Simulation,” which encompasses seven sub-projects. These projects develop advanced methods for monitoring and assessing the condition of bridge structures using digital twins, high-resolution sensor technology, and numerical simulations. Innovative approaches such as nonlinear model adjustments, stochastic methods, and artificial intelligence facilitate precise and early identification of potential damages. The combination of continuous structural monitoring and efficient data evaluation is crucial for the long-term reliability and durability of existing bridges and contributes to resource conservation.

The physical situation is readily modeled by Fourier's law. Despite the simplicity of the PDE structure, quantitatively realistic numerical 3D simulation faces two major obstacles. First, the short heating pulse induces a thin boundary layer at the heated surface which encapsulates all information and therefore has to be resolved faithfully. Even with adaptive mesh refinement techniques, obtaining useful accuracies requires an unsatisfactorily fine discretization. Second, bulk material parameters and boundary conditions are barely known exactly. We address both issues by a semi-analytic reformulation of the heat transport problem and by parameter identification. Numerical results are compared with measurements of test specimens.

For this reason gradient and quasi-Newton methods working on the reduced functional are often employed. The computation of the reduced gradient requires one solve of the state equation forward in time, and one backward solve of the adjoint equation. The state enters into the adjoint equation, again requiring the storage of a full 4D data set. We propose a lossy compression algorithm using an inexact but cheap predictor for the state data, with additional entropy coding of prediction errors. As the data is used inside a discretized, iterative algorithm, lossy coding maintaining an error bound is sufficient.

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.

Pointwise elimination of the control leads to a homotopy in the remaining state and dual variables, which is addressed by a short step pathfollowing method. The algorithm is applied to the continuous, infinite dimensional problem, where discretization is performed only in the innermost loop when solving linear equations. The a priori elimination of the least regular control permits to obtain the required accuracy with comparable coarse meshes. Convergence of the method and discretization errors are studied, and the method is illustrated at two numerical examples.

Time-dependent electrical currents injected at different spatial positions act as the control. Inexact Newton-CG methods are used, with reduced gradient computation by adjoint solves. In order to reduce the computational complexity, adaptive mesh refinement for state and adjoint equations is performed. To reduce the high storage and bandwidth demand imposed by adjoint gradient and Hessian-vector evaluations, a lossy compression technique for storing trajectory data is applied. An adaptive choice of quantization tolerance based on error estimates is developed in order to ensure convergence. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated on numerical examples.

The evaluation of the reduced gradient requires one solve of the state equation forward in time, and one backward solve of the ad-joint equation. The state enters into the adjoint equation, requiring the storage of a full 4D data set. If Newton-CG methods are used, two additional trajectories have to be stored. To get numerical results which are accurate enough, in many case very fine discretizations in time and space are necessary, which leads to a significant amount of data to be stored and transmitted to mass storage. Lossy compression methods were developed to overcome the storage problem by reducing the accuracy of the stored trajectories. The inexact data induces errors in the reduced gradient and reduced Hessian. In this paper, we analyze the influence of such a lossy trajectory compression method on Newton-CG methods for optimal control of parabolic PDEs and design an adaptive strategy for choosing appropriate quantization tolerances.

We interprete SDC methods as fixed point iterations for the collocation system and propose new DIRK-type sweeps for stiff problems based on purely linear algebraic considerations. Good convergence is recovered also on non-equidistant grids. The properties of different variants are explored on a couple of numerical examples.
