In general relativity, there is a class of solutions that currently do not have observed analogues, but on which the theory is shaped, giving an understanding what is fundamentally possible within its framework. Such ...

In this paper we treat the cell-centred multigrid approach, which distinguishes itself from the classical vertex-centred multigrid by a non-nested hierarchy of grid nodes and the use of constant, problem-independent transfer operators even in complicated situations. We demonstrate, that the tool of Local Fourier Analysis can also be profitably applied in this setting. We consider in detail the standard transfer operators from literature and their respective polynomial and Fourier orders, paying special attention to the combination of piecewise constant interpolation and its adjoint. Furthermore, we give several numerical examples for model problems and an application from biomedical engineering.

This book broadly covers the given spectrum of disciplines in Computational Life Sciences, transforming it into a strong helping hand for teachers, students, practitioners and researchers. In Life Sciences, problem-solving and data analysis often depend on biological expertise combined with technical skills in order to generate, manage and efficiently analyse big data. These technical skills can easily be enhanced by good theoretical foundations, developed from well-chosen practical examples and inspiring new strategies. This is the innovative approach of Computational Life Sciences-Data Engineering and Data Mining for Life Sciences: We present basic concepts, advanced topics and emerging technologies, introduce algorithm design and programming principles, address data mining and knowledge discovery as well as applications arising from real projects. Chapters are largely independent and often flanked by illustrative examples and practical advise.

This paper presents the application of iterative solution techniques to large sparse equation systems derived from PEEC modeling. The PEEC method (partial element equivalent circuit) is an approach to transform conducting objects into linear networks with basic electrical elements. Such equivalent circuit models can be simulated by conventional circuit solvers such as SPICE (simulation program for integrated circuit emphasis) based on the MNA (modified nodal analysis) approach. By applying appropriate sparsification techniques sparse system matrices can be obtained, adequate for iterative solvers. By using multilevel approaches linear complexity in time and memory requirements can be achieved in the best case. The suitability of different iterative methods as applied to such systems is compared by means of examples

Rearranging cars of an incoming train in a hump yard is a widely discussed topic. We focus on the train marshalling problem where the incoming cars of a train are distributed to a certain number of sorting tracks. When pulled out again to build the outgoing train, cars sharing the same destination should appear consecutively. The goal is to minimize the number of sorting tracks. We suggest a graph-theoretic approach for this NP-complete problem. The idea is to partition an associated directed graph into what we call pseudochains of minimum length. We describe a greedy-type heuristic to solve the partitioning problem which, on random instances, performs better than the known heuristics for the train marshalling problem.
Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimators in their various forms, including the popular Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator, are frequently applied for the evaluation of complex econometric models with not analytic...

scientific workflows have emerged as an important tool for combining computational power with data analysis for all scientific domains in e-science. They help scientists to design and execute complex in silico experiments. However, with increasing complexity it becomes more and more infeasible to optimize scientific workflows by trial and error. To address this issue, this paper describes the design of a new optimization phase integrated in the established scientific workflow life cycle. We have also developed a flexible optimization application programming interface (API) and have integrated it into a scientific workflow management system. A sample plugin for parameter optimization based on genetic algorithms illustrates, how the API enables rapid implementation of concrete workflow optimization methods. Finally, a use case taken from the area of structural bioinformatics validates how the optimization approach facilitates setup, execution and monitoring of workflow parameter optimization in high performance computing e-science environments.
