Many physical phenomena such as the flow of an aircraft, heating process, or wave propagation are modeled mathematically by differential equations, in particular partial differential equations (PDEs). Analytical solutions to PDEs are often unknown or very hard to obtain. Because of that, we simulate such systems by numerical methods such as finite difference, finite volume, finite element, etc. When we want to control the behavior of certain system components, such as the shape of a wing of an aircraft or an applied heat distribution, it becomes equivalent to optimizing certain parameters of the underlying PDEs. Optimization of real-world systems in this way is called PDE-constrained optimization or optimal control problems. To have a more accurate mathematical model, we employ uncertain coefficients in PDEs since nature has different sources of intrinsic randomness. In this thesis, we study a numerical investigation of a strongly convex and smooth tracking-type functional subject to a convection-diffusion equation with random coefficients. In spatial dimension, we use the Finite Element Method (FEM), in probability dimension, we use the Monte Carlo (MC) method, and as an optimization method, we use the stochastic gradient (SG) method, where the true gradient is replaced by a stochastic one to minimize the expected value over a random function. To accelerate the convergence of the stochastic approach, momentum terms, i.e., Polyak’s and Nesterov’s momentums, are added. A full error analysis including Monte Carlo, finite element, and stochastic momentum gradient iteration errors are done. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed stochastic approximations in the PDE-constrained optimization setting.

Time Dependence of Joint Entropy of Oscillating Quantum Systems ÖZCAN, ÖZGÜR; Akturk, Ethem; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-12-01) The time dependent entropy (or Leipnik's entropy) of harmonic and damped harmonic oscillator systems is studied by using time dependent wave function obtained by the Feynman path integral method. The Leipnik entropy and its envelope change as a function of time, angular frequency and damping factor. Our results for simple harmonic oscillator are in agreement with the literature. However, the joint entropy of damped harmonic oscillator shows remarkable discontinuity with time for certain values of damping fa...
Distributed Optimal Control Problems Governed by Coupled Convection Dominated PDEs with Control Constraints Yücel, Hamdullah (2013-08-30) We study the numerical solution of control constrained optimal control problems governed by a system of convection diffusion equations with nonlinear reaction terms, arising from chemical processes. Control constraints are handled by using the primal-dual active set algorithm as a semi-smooth Newton method or by adding a Moreau-Yosida-type penalty function to the cost functional. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a posteriori error estimates is applied for both approaches.
Time-domain calculation of sound propagation in lined ducts with sheared flows Özyörük, Yusuf (1999-01-01) A recent application of the time-domain equivalent of the classical acoustic impedance condition, i.e. the particle displacement continuity equation, to the numerical simulations of a flow-impedance tube in the time domain yielded reasonably good results with uniform mean flows. The present paper extends this application to include sheared mean flow effects on sound propagation over acoustically treated walls. To assess the prediction improvements with sheared flows, especially at relatively high Mach numbe...
Least squares differential quadrature time integration scheme in the dual reciprocity boundary element method solution of convection-diffusion problems Bozkaya, Canan (2005-03-18) The least squares differential quadrature method (DQM) is used for solving the ordinary differential equations in time, obtained from the application of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for the spatial partial derivatives in convection-diffusion type problems. The DRBEM enables us to use the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation which is easy to implement computationally. The time derivative and the convection terms are considered as the nonhomogeneity in the equation which are ap...
Oscillation of second-order nonlinear differential equations with nonlinear damping Tiryaki, A; Zafer, Ağacık (2004-01-01) This paper is concerned with the oscillation of a class of general type second-order differential equations with nonlinear damping terms. Several new oscillation criteria are established for such a class of differential equations under quite general assumptions. Examples are also given to illustrate the results.
