The numerical integration of time-dependent PDEs, especially of Advection Diffusion Reaction type, for two and three spatial variables (in short, 2D and 3D problems) in the MoL framework is considered. The spatial discretization is made by using Finite Differences and the time integration is carried out by means of the L-stable, third order formula known as the two stage Radau IIA method. The m...

A mesh refinement method is described for solving a continuous-time optimal control problem using collocation at Legendre-Gauss-Radau points. The method allows for changes in both the number of mesh intervals and the degree of the approximating polynomial within a mesh interval. First, a relative error estimate is derived based on the difference between the Lagrange polynomial approximation of ...

The optimal trajectory planning problem for multiple trains under fixed block signaling systems and moving block signaling systems is considered. Two approaches are proposed to solve this optimal control problem for multiple trains: the greedy approach and the simultaneous approach. In each solution approach, the trajectory planning problem is transformed into a mixed integer linear programming...

A technique to incorporate directivity in the Pseudospectral time-domain method (PSTD) for auralization purposes is presented. The Pseudospectral time-domain method is a numerical method for solving the wave equation that requires only two spatial points per wavelength, making it more efficient compared to other wave based methods. The effect of source directivity as well as the head-related di...

The numerical approximation of the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation arising in ultrafast laser dynamics is discussed. The linear Schrödinger equation is reduced to a computationally tractable, lower dimensional system of nonlinear partial differential equations by the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock method. This method serves to approximate the original wave f...
