The Design and Implementation of an Obje t - Oriented Validated ODE Solver

Aspect and XML-oriented Semantic Framework Generator: SmartTools

SmartTools is a semanti framework generator, based on XML and obje t te hnologies. Thanks to a pro ess of automati generation from spe i ations, SmartTools makes it possible to qui kly develop environments dedi ated to domain-spe i and programming languages. Some of these spe i ations (XML, DTD, S hemas, XSLT) are issued from the W3C whi h is an important sour e of varied emerging domain-spe i ...

Aerodynamic Design Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)

An efficient formulation for the robust shape optimization of aerodynamic objects is introduced in this paper. The formulation has three essential features. First, an Euler solver based on a second-order Godunov scheme is used for the flow calculations. Second, a genetic algorithm with binary number encoding is implemented for the optimization procedure. The third ingredient of the procedure is...

Tracing Surface Intersections with a Validated ODE System Solver

This paper presents a robust method for tracing intersection curve segments between continuous rational parametric surfaces, typically rational B-spline surface patches. The tracing procedure is based on a validated ordinary differential equation (ODE) system solver, which can be uniformly applied, without substantial overhead, for transversal, tangential as well as self-intersection cases. App...

Exploiting the Multilevel Parallelism and the Problem Structure in the Numerical Solution of Stiff ODEs

A component-based methodology to derive parallel stiff Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) solvers for multicomputers is presented. The methodology allows the exploitation of the multilevel parallelism of this kind of numerical algorithms and the particular structure of ODE systems by using parallel linear algebra modules. The approach furthers the reusability of the design specifications and ...
