Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Since Patankar first developed the SIMPLE (Semi Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have been solved using a variety of pressure-based methods. Over the last twenty years these methods have been refined and developed however the majority of this work has been based around the use of structured grids to mesh the fluid domain of interest. Unstructured grids offer considerable advantages over structured meshes when a fluid in a complex domain is being modelled. By using triangles in two dimensions and tetrahedrons in three dimensions it is possible to mesh many problems for which it would be impossible to use structured grids. In addition to this, unstructured grids allow meshes to be generated with relatively little effort, in comparison to structured grids, and therefore shorten the time taken to model a particular problem.

ABSTRACT Manifold Learning with Tensorial Network Laplacians by Scott Sanders The interdisciplinary field of machine learning studies algorithms in which functional- ity is dependent on data sets. This data is often treated as a matrix, and a variety of mathematical methods have been developed to glean information from this data struc- ture such as matrix decomposition. The Laplacian matrix, for example, is commonly used to reconstruct networks, and the eigenpairs of this matrix are used in matrix decomposition.

  • Matrices and Graphs of Relations [The Gist of Sec
    Matrices and Graphs of Relations [the gist of Sec. 7.2 of Grimaldi] If A = n and B = p, and the elements are ordered and labeled (A = a ;a ;:::;a| | , etc.),| then| any relation from A to B (i.e., a subset of A B) can { 1 2 n} R × be represented by a matrix with n rows and p columns: Mjk , the element in row j and column k, equals 1 if aj bk and 0 otherwise. Such a matrix is somewhat less inscrutable than a long list ofR ordered pairs. Example: Let A = B = 1; 2; 3; 4 . The relation { } = (1; 2); (1; 3); (1; 4); (2; 3); (3; 1); (3; 4) R { } has the matrix 0111 0 00101 : B 1001C @ 0000A Boolean arithmetic Recall the operation tables for logical AND and OR: 0 1 0 1 —–—–—∧| | —–—–—∨| | 0 0 0 0 0 1 —–—–—| | —–—–—| | 1 0 1 1 1 1 | | | | Let’s compare this with arithmetical TIMES and PLUS: 0 1 + 0 1 —–—–—×| | —–—–—| | 0 0 0 0 0 1 —–—–—| | —–—–—| | 1 0 1 1 1 2 | | | | (If the addition is modulo 2, then the 2 in the crucial corner becomes 0.) We see that the logical operations are identical to the arithmetical ones, except that “1+1” must be redefined to be 1, not 2 or 0. Finally, notice that the logical relation of implication is equivalent to “less than or equal” in this numerical representation: 0 1 −→— –—–— | | 0 1 1 — –—–—| | 1 0 1 | | 1 Now recall (or learn, from Appendix 2) that multiplication of matrices is defined by (MN) = M N ik X ij jk j (i.e., each element of the product is calculated by taking the “dot product” of a row of M with a column of N; the number of columns of M must be equal to the number of rows of N for this to make sense).
