Galerkin methods for the simulation, calibration, and control of partial differential equations on networks (C04)

• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: from 2014 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 239904186

The main goal of this subproject is the systematic numerical approximation of systems of partial differential equations on networks, which arise in the modeling of gas transport. The focus lies on new kinds of Galerkin methods which, due to their variational structure, allow an efficient treatment of corresponding problems on a higher level, e.g., the calibration and optimal control of gas networks.
