Numerical integration of Geometric Partial Differential Equations

Objective

"The goal of this project is to develop new numerical methods for the approximation of evolution equations possessing strong geometric properties such as Hamiltonian systems or stochastic differential equations. In such situations the exact solutions endow with many physical properties that are consequences of the geometric structure: Preservation of the total energy, momentum conservation or existence of ergodic invariant measures. However the preservation of such qualitative properties of the original system by numerical methods at a reasonable cost is not guaranteed at all, even for very precise (high order) methods.

The principal aim of geometric numerical integration is the understanding and analysis of such problems: How (and to which extend) reproduce qualitative behavior of differential equations over long time? The extension of this theory to partial differential equations is a fundamental ongoing challenge, which require the invention of a new mathematical framework bridging the most recent techniques used in the theory of nonlinear PDEs and stochastic ordinary and partial differential equations. The development of new efficient numerical schemes for geometric PDEs has to go together with the most recent progress in analysis (stability phenomena, energy transfers, multiscale problems, etc..)

The major challenges of the project are to derive new schemes by bridging the world of numerical simulation and the analysis community, and to consider deterministic and stochastic equations, with a general aim at deriving hybrid methods. We also aim to create a research platform devoted to extensive numerical simulations of difficult academic PDEs in order to highlight new nonlinear phenomena and test numerical methods."
