This work develops a numerical solver based on the combination of isogeometric analysis (IGA) and the tensor train (TT) decomposition for the approximation of partial differential equations (PDEs) on parameter-dependent geometries. First, the discrete Galerkin operator as well as the solution for a fixed geometry configuration are represented as tensors and the TT format is employed to reduce their computational complexity. Parametric dependencies are included by considering the parameters that control the geometry configuration as additional dimensions next to the physical space coordinates. The parameters are easily incorporated within the TT-IGA solution framework by introducing a tensor product basis expansion in the parameter space. The discrete Galerkin operators are accordingly extended to accommodate the parameter dependence, thus obtaining a single system that includes the parameter dependency. The system is solved directly in the TT format and a low-rank representation of the parameter-dependent solution is obtained. The proposed TT-IGA solver is applied to several test cases which showcase its high computational efficiency and tremendous compression ratios achieved for representing the parameter-dependent IGA operators and solutions., Comment: Submitted manuscript

In this paper a general approach to reconstruct three dimensional field solutions in particle accelerator magnets from distributed magnetic measurements is presented. To exploit the locality of the measurement operation a special discretization of the Laplace equation is used. Extracting the coefficients of the field representations yields an inverse problem which is solved by Bayesian inversion. This allows not only to pave the way for uncertainty quantification, but also to derive a suitable regularization. The approach is applied to rotating coil measurements and can be extended to any other measurement procedure.

In this work, we perform Bayesian inference tasks for the chemical master equation in the tensor-train format. The tensor-train approximation has been proven to be very efficient in representing high dimensional data arising from the explicit representation of the chemical master equation solution. An additional advantage of representing the probability mass function in the tensor train format is that parametric dependency can be easily incorporated by introducing a tensor product basis expansion in the parameter space. Time is treated as an additional dimension of the tensor and a linear system is derived to solve the chemical master equation in time. We exemplify the tensor-train method by performing inference tasks such as smoothing and parameter inference using the tensor-train framework. A very high compression ratio is observed for storing the probability mass function of the solution. Since all linear algebra operations are performed in the tensor-train format, a significant reduction of the computational time is observed as well.

In this work we considered several hybrid modelling approaches for forecasting energy spot prices in EPEC market. Hybridization is performed through combining a Naive model, Fourier analysis, ARMA and GARCH models, a mean-reversion and jump-diffusion model, and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). Training data was given in terms of electricity prices for 2013-2014 years, and test data as a year of 2015., Comment: European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry

This paper developes a data-driven magnetostatic finite-element (FE) solver which directly exploits measured material data instead of a material curve constructed from it. The distances between the field solution and the measurement points are minimized while enforcing Maxwell's equations. The minimization problem is solved by employing the Lagrange multiplier approach. The procedure wraps the FE method within an outer data-driven iteration. The method is capable of considering anisotropic materials and is adapted to deal with models featuring a combination of exact material knowledge and measured material data. Thereto, three approaches with an increasing level of intrusivity according to the FE formulation are proposed. The numerical results for a quadrupole-magnet model show that data-driven field simulation is feasible and affordable and overcomes the need of modeling the material law., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures

In this paper, gradient-based optimization methods are combined with finite-element modeling for improving electric devices. Geometric design parameters are considered by affine decomposition of the geometry or by the design element approach, both of which avoid remeshing. Furthermore, it is shown how to robustify the optimization procedure, i.e., how to deal with uncertainties on the design parameters. The overall procedure is illustrated by an academic example and by the example of a permanent-magnet synchronous machine. The examples show the advantages of deterministic optimization compared to standard and popular stochastic optimization procedures such as, e.g., particle swarm optimization., Comment: 22 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables
