We invite you to the December RoCS Solar/Stellar Lunch. You are invited to discuss your work with colleagues.

Children of Men fra 2006 handler om at mennesker ikke kan få barn lenger, og konsekvensen dette har for samfunnet. Storbritannia har blitt et innvandringsfiendtlig diktatur som mottar desperate flyktninger fra hele verden som interneres i leire med forhold som minner om det vi ser i flyktningleire i dag.

C*-algebra seminar by Emilie Elkiær (University of Oslo)

Kine Ødegård Hanssen will defend her thesis “Effects of perineuronal nets on conductive and capacitive properties of neurons: Computational studies” for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

December 11th-15th 2023 will see the second edition of the Oslo Bioinformatics Workshop Week at the University of Oslo, Norway.

A peculiarity of nonlinear hyperbolic problems is that they must be interpreted as limits of second-order equations with vanishing viscosity. Despite not explicitly being present in the hyperbolic case, diffusion is needed, e. g., at discontinuities or to avoid the occurrence of nonphysical states. In the case of gas dynamics, for instance, dissipation corresponds to the production of thermodynamic entropy. To solve hyperbolic problems numerically, one needs to adapt these ideas to the discrete setting. Standard high-order methods, however, do not incorporate the appropriate amounts of artificial viscosity because these need to be chosen adaptively based on the solution. Among the high-resolution schemes capable of doing so are the recently proposed monolithic convex limiting (MCL) techniques [1] to be discussed in this talk. They offer a way to enforce physical admissibility, entropy stability, and discrete maximum principles for conservation laws. These methods can also be generalized to systems of balance laws in a well-balanced manner [2]. In addition to second-order finite element methods, extensions to high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes shall also be presented [3]. Numerical examples for the so-called KPP problem, the nonconservative shallow water system, and the compressible Euler equations will be shown. An overview of MCL and other property-preserving methods can be found in our recently published book [4].
