Role
Numerical methods for solving higher order nonlinear partial differential equations (2016 - 2019/20)
- My role involves investigating new gradient flow schemes for solving higher-order nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs).
- Initially, this will involve investigating evolution equations with underlying gradient flow structures and the variational formulation of these equations in the Wasserstein case.
- This project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and supervised by Bertram Duering, assisted by David McCormick.
