The Coolest Path Problem
(2009)
We introduce the coolest path problem, which is a mixture of two well-known problems from distinct mathematical fields. One of them is the shortest path problem from combinatorial optimization. The other is the heat conduction problem from the field of partial differential equations. Together, they make up a control problem, where some geometrical object traverses a digraph in an optimal way, with constraints on intermediate or the final state. We discuss some properties of the problem and present numerical solution techniques. We demonstrate that the problem can be formulated as a linear mixed-integer program. Numerical solutions can thus be achieved within one hour for instances with up to 70 nodes in the graph.
The Coolest Path Problem
(2010)
Optical 3D simulations in many-query and real-time contexts require new solution strategies. We study an adaptive, error controlled reduced basis method for solving parametrized time-harmonic optical scattering problems. Application fields are, among others, design and optimization problems of nano-optical devices as well as inverse problems for parameter reconstructions occuring e. g. in optical metrology. The reduced basis method presented here relies on a finite element modeling of the scattering problem with parametrization of materials, geometries and sources.
Model order reduction for the time-harmonic Maxwell equation applied to complex nanostructures
(2016)
Fields such as optical metrology and computational lithography require fast and efficient methods for solving
the time-harmonic Maxwell’s equation. Highly accurate geometrical modeling and numerical accuracy atcomputational costs are a prerequisite for any simulation study of complex nano-structured photonic devices.
We present a reduced basis method (RBM) for the time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering problem based
on the hp-adaptive finite element solver JCMsuite capable of handling geometric and non-geometric parameter
dependencies allowing for online evaluations in milliseconds. We apply the RBM to compute light-scatteringoptical wavelengths off periodic arrays of fin field-effect transistors (FinFETs) where geometrical properties such
as the width and height of the fin and gate can vary in a large range.
