Research profile

My primary research interests are in construction and analysis of numerical schemes for solutions of partial differential and integral equations with an emphasis on high-order numerical methods [4,5,6].
I am particularly interested in numerical analysis of problems with random data [2,3]; construction
and analysis of efficient automatic integration algorithms, especially for high-dimensional
singular integrands [1]; construction and analysis of numerical schemes for variational inequalities,
in particular, for contact problems in elasticity [7,8,9].

Contribution to Research Areas

Research Area J
In [1] we constructed and analyzed a family of quadrature rules for approximate computation of high dimensional integrals with diagonal singularity over regular simplices. The approach is based on a family of regularizing coordinate transformations simplifying simultaneously the structure of the singularity and the integration domain and works in any dimension.
In [2] we developed a sparse spectral approximation theory with polynomials on finite intervals. This discretization techniques can be used to overcome the curse of dimensionality in numerical approximation of statistical moments of solutions of elliptic equations with a random loading term. After an appropriate linearization procedure [3] this approach is applicable to nonlinear problems as well.
In [4] we studied the approximation properties of the trace of the L^2-polynomial projection operator on a simplex. This fundamental approximation result has applications in many areas of numerical analysis, e.g. in analysis of hp-Discontinuous Galerkin Methods, Nitsche's methods [5].
In [6] we aim at an efficient numerical solution of elliptic pseudodifferential equations on the surface of the sphere with applications in geodesy.
Research Area G
The quadrature algorithms developed in [1] can be used in particular for pricing of financial options based on Levy-driven assets. The special difficulty here is that the singularity order is a model parameter which might take fractional values.
In [2] we work on numerical schemes for the statistical moment equation. This techniques compares favorably with alternative methods based on the Karhuhen-Loeve expansion, especially if the convergence of the Karhuhen-Loeve expansion is slow.
