Parallel refined Isogeometric Analysis in 3D
(IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2018-11)We study three-dimensional isogeometric analysis (IGA) and the solution of the resulting system of linear equations via a direct solver. IGA uses highly continuous $C^{p-1}$ basis functions, which provide multiple benefits ... -
Parameterization of Invariant Manifolds for Periodic Orbits I: Efficient Numerics via the Floquet Normal Form
(SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2015-12-31)We present an efficient numerical method for computing Fourier-Taylor expansions of (un)stable manifolds associated with hyperbolic periodic orbits. Three features of the method are that (1) we obtain accurate representation ... -
A partition of unity finite element method for computational diffusion MRI
(Journal of Computational Physics, 2018)The Bloch–Torrey equation describes the evolution of the spin (usually water proton) magnetization under the influence of applied magnetic field gradients and is commonly used in numerical simulations for diffusion MRI ... -
Performance of a multi-frontal parallel direct solver for hp-finite element method
(Proceedings of the IASTED International Conference on Advances in Computer Science and Engineering, ACSE 2009, 2009-12-31)In this paper we present the performance of our parallel multi-frontal direct solver when applied to solve linear systems of equations resulting from discretizations of a hp Finite Element Method (hp-FEM). The hp-FEM ... -
PetIGA-MF: A multi-field high-performance toolbox for structure-preserving B-splines spaces
(Journal of Computational Science, 2017-01)We describe a high-performance solution framework for isogeometric discrete differential forms based on B-splines: PetIGA-MF. Built on top of PetIGA, an open-source library we have built and developed over the last decade, ... -

(Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2019-09-23)The numerical simulation of the diffusion MRI signal arising from complex tissue micro-structures is helpful for understanding and interpreting imaging data as well as for designing and optimizing MRI sequences. The ... -
Quantities of interest for surface based resistivity geophysical measurements
(Procedia Computer Science, 2015-12-31)The objective of traditional goal-oriented strategies is to construct an optimal mesh that minimizes the problem size needed to achieve a user prescribed tolerance error for a given quantity of interest (QoI). Typical ... -
Red refinements of simplices into congruent subsimplices
(Computers and Mathematics with Applications, 2014-12-31)We show that in dimensions higher than two, the popular "red refinement" technique, commonly used for simplicial mesh refinements and adaptivity in the finite element analysis and practice, never yields subsimplices which ... -
Reducing variability in the cost of energy of ocean energy arrays
(Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2019-09)Variability in the predicted cost of energy of an ocean energy converter array is more substantial than for other forms of energy generation, due to the combined stochastic action of weather conditions and failures. If the ... -
Refined Isogeometric Analysis for a Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Solver
(Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2018-06-15)Starting from a highly continuous Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) discretization, refined Isogeometric Analysis (rIGA) introduces $C^0$ hyperplanes that act as separators for the direct LU factorization solver. As a result, ... -
REFINED ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS: A SOLVER-BASED DISCRETIZATION METHOD
(2018-06-22)Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a computational approach frequently employed nowadays to study problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). This approach defines the geometry using conventional computer-aided ... -
Regions of prevalence in the coupled restricted three-body problems approximation
(Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 2012-12-31)This work concerns the role played by a couple of the planar circular restricted three-body problem in the approximation of the bicircular model. The comparison between the differential equations governing the dynamics ... -
Reproductive value, sensitivity, and nonlinearity: Population-management heuristics derived from classical demography
