Conservation Laws and Electromagnetic Interactions
… between light and matter is governed by conservation laws that can manifest themselves as mechanical effects acting on both matter and light waves. This interaction permits remote, precise, and noninvasive manipulation and sensing at microscopic levels. In this dissertation, we …

Local conservation laws in quantum integrable systems
… of the current operator, and calculable from the conservation laws of the system. In a particular system, previous attempts to calculate a known residual current from the conservation laws have failed. A numerical investigation is undertaken, and this disparity with the formal results is resolved …

Solution of conservation laws via convergence space completion
… of the initial value problem for a scalar conservation law may fail to exist on the whole domain of definition of the problem. For this reason, suitable generalized solutions of such problems, known as weak solutions, have been considered and studied extensively. However, weak solutions are …

High Resolution Time-Limiter Schemes for Conservation Laws
… the high resolution time-limiter schemes for conservation laws. These schemes are proposed (K.Duraisamy, J.D.Baeder, J-G Liu, 2003) to enhance the stability of high order implicit time marching when the time step is beyond the original TVD limit. The improved stability is realized by taking …

Optimal and Feedback Control for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
… hyperbolic partial differential equations for Conservation Laws motivated by traffic control problems. New traffic models for multi-directional flow in two dimensions are derived and their properties studied. Control models are proposed where the control variable is a multiplicative term in the …

High Order Fluctuation Splitting Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

Large Time Step and Overlapping Grids for Conservation Laws
… numerical solutions to hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. We also consider a method of overlapping spatial grids for which variants have proved to be an important consideration in large scale applications. In practice we often run into grids which have a fairly large range of cell sizes …

A Spacetime Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
The basic SDG approximation is a simple Bubnov-Galerkin projection that is not prone to global patterns of spurious oscillations. However, it does require stabilization to eliminate local overshoot and undershoot in the immediate vicinity of shocks and other discontinuous solution features. We …

Entropy Stable Approximations of Nonlinear Conservation Laws and Related Fluid Equations

Meta-learning and Enforcing Useful Conservation Laws in Sequential Prediction Problems

Sensitivity Calculations For Conservation Laws With Application To Discontinuous Fluid Flows
Flow sensitivities are the derivatives of the variables that describe the fluid flow with respect to the parameters that determine the fluid flow. Sensitivities are of interest in their own right and are also of use in flow optimization, control and design and in the calculation of perturbed flows. …
