Computation, Volume 5, Issue 4

The routinely made assumptions for simulating solid materials are briefly summarized, since they need to be critically assessed when new aspects become important, such as excited states, finite temperature, time-dependence, etc. The significantly hig...

By reversing paradigms that normally utilize mathematical models as the basis for nonlinear adaptive controllers, this article describes using the controller to serve as a novel computational approach for mathematical system identification. System id...

Heterogeneous clusters are a widely utilized class of supercomputers assembled from different types of computing devices, for instance CPUs and GPUs, providing a huge computational potential. Programming them in a scalable way exploiting the maximal...

Extracorporeal organ perfusion, in which organs are preserved in an isolated, ex vivo environment over an extended time-span, is a concept that has led to the development of numerous alternative preservation protocols designed to better maintain orga...

This paper is devoted to modelling tissue growth with a deformable cell model. Each cell represents a polygon with particles located at its vertices. Stretching, bending and pressure forces act on particles and determine their displacement. Pressure-...

We present a hierarchical coarse-graining framework for modeling semidilute polymer solutions, based on the wavelet-accelerated Monte Carlo (WAMC) method. This framework forms a hierarchy of resolutions to model polymers at length scales that cannot...

A self-organizing map (SOM) is an artificial neural network algorithm that can learn from the training data consisting of objects expressed as vectors and perform non-hierarchical clustering to represent input vectors into discretized clusters, with...

We propose a limited-memory quasi-Newton method using the bad Broyden update and apply it to the nonlinear equations that must be solved to determine the effective Fermi momentum in the weighted density approximation for the exchange energy density f...
