Applied and computational mathematicsAdvanced adaptive numerical methods for fully nonlinear equationsProf. Marco PicassoThe goal is to efficiently solve several, non-smooth, fully nonlinear equations using adaptive algorithms or machine learning techniques. We explore various aspects of the approximation of the Monge-Ampère equation including (but not limited to):
• adaptive mesh refinement with optimal error estimates based on finite element formulation.
• solution of the parametric Monge-Ampère equation using a PINN approach.
• solution of higher dimensional fully nonlinear equations using deep neural networks.
• inverse problems with the Monge-Ampère equation as a constraint.
The PhD candidate will work under the supervision of both Prof. Alexandre Caboussat (Haute école de gestion de Genève (HES-SO), and Prof. Marco Picasso (MATH, EPFL).
The position is subject to admission to EPFL doctoral program of mathematics. For more information, please contact [email protected] and [email protected].
