A numerical method is proposed to approximate the solution of a nonlinear and nonlocal system of integro-differential equations describing age-dependent population dynamics with spatial diffusion. We use a finite difference method along the characteristic age-time direction combined with finite elem

β¦ Synopsis
Numerical simulations of large nonlinear dynamical systems, especially over long-time intervals, may be computationally very expensive. Model reduction methods have been used in this context for a long time, usually projecting the dynamical system onto a sub-space of its phase space. Nonlinear Galerkin methods try to improve on this by projecting onto a sub-manifold which does not have to be flat. These methods are applied to the finite element model of a wind-turbine, where both the mechanical and the aerodynamical degrees of freedom can be considered for model reduction. For the internal forces (moments, section forces) the nonlinear Galerkin method gives a considerable increase in accuracy for very little computational cost.

We present new truly multidimensional schemes of higher order within the framework of finite volume evolution Galerkin (FVEG) methods for systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. These methods couple a finite volume formulation with approximate evolution operators. The latter are construct
Nonlinear nondynamic systems which can be modelled by a linear combination of nonlinear functions are considered. An algorithm, based on correlation techniques, is presented for reducing the number of terms in such a model to a fixed but arbitrary number, n. It is shown that when the model is a line
