This thesis focuses on fundamental control-theoretical issues of quantum dynamics described by the Lindblad-Kossakowski master equation which arises as a bilinear control system on some underlying real vector spaces, e.g controllability aspects and the structure of reachable sets. Based on Lie-algebraic methods from nonlinear control theory, the thesis presents a unified approach to control problems of finite dimensional closed and open quantum systems. In particular, a simplified treatment for controllability of closed quantum systems as well as new accessibility results for open quantum systems are obtained. The main tools to derive the results are the well-known classifications of all matrix Lie groups which act transitively on Grassmann manifolds, and respectively, on real vector spaces without the origin. It is also shown in this thesis that accessibiity of the Lindblad-Kossakowski master equation is a generic property.

If F does not depend on additional parameters, numerous zero-finding techniques are available for this purpose. It is a natural generalization however, to consider time-dependent optimization problems that require the computation of time-varying zeros of time-dependent vector fields F(x,t). Such parametric optimization problems arise in many fields of applied mathematics, in particular path-following problems in robotics, recursive eigenvalue and singular value estimation in signal processing, as well as numerical linear algebra and inverse eigenvalue problems in control theory. In the literature, there are already some tracking algorithms for these tasks, but these do not always adequately respect the manifold structure. Hence, available tracking results can often be improved by implementing methods working directly on the manifold. Thus, intrinsic methods are of interests that evolve during the entire computation on the manifold. It is the task of this thesis, to develop such intrinsic zero finding methods. The main results of this thesis are as follows: - A new class of continuous and discrete tracking algorithms is proposed for computing zeros of time-varying vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. This was achieved by studying the newly introduced time-varying Newton Flow and the time-varying Newton Algorithm on Riemannian manifolds. - Convergence analysis is performed on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. - Concretization of these results on submanifolds, including for a new class of algorithms via local parameterizations. - More specific results in Euclidean space are obtained by considering inexact and underdetermined time-varying Newton Flows. - Illustration of these newly introduced algorithms by examining time-varying tracking tasks in three application areas: Subspace analysis, matrix decompositions (in particular EVD and SVD) and computer vision.}, subject = {Dynamische Optimierung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Pechmann2008, author = {Pechmann, Patrick R.}, title = {Penalized Least Squares Methoden mit st{\"u}ckweise polynomialen Funktionen zur L{\"o}sung von partiellen Differentialgleichungen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-28136}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2008}, abstract = {Das Hauptgebiet der Arbeit stellt die Approximation der L{\"o}sungen partieller Differentialgleichungen mit Dirichlet-Randbedingungen durch Splinefunktionen dar.

(2004), which does not differ in the area of interest from those of other authors. We first show some theoretical properties and introduce important examples of GPDs. For the further investigation of these distributions simulation methods are an important part. We describe several methods of simulating GPDs, beginning with an efficient method for the logistic GPD. This algorithm is based on the Shi transformation, which was introduced by Shi (1995) and was used in Stephenson (2003) for the simulation of multivariate extreme value distributions of logistic type. We also present nonparametric and parametric estimation methods in GPD models. We estimate the angular density nonparametrically in arbitrary dimension, where the bivariate case turns out to be a special case. The asymptotic normality of the corresponding estimators is shown. Also in the parametric estimations, which are mainly based on maximum likelihood methods, the asymptotic normality of the estimators is shown under certain regularity conditions.

Such problems arise from a variety of applications such as equilibria models of economics, contact and structural mechanics problems, obstacle problems, discrete-time optimal control problems etc. In this thesis we present a new formulation of nonlinear and mixed complementarity problems based on the Fischer-Burmeister function approach. Unlike traditional reformulations, our approach leads to an over-determined system of nonlinear equations. This has the advantage that certain drawbacks of the Fischer-Burmeister approach are avoided. Among other favorable properties of the new formulation, the natural merit function turns out to be differentiable. To solve the arising over-determined system we use a nonsmooth damped Levenberg-Marquardt-type method and investigate its convergence properties. Under mild assumptions, it can be shown that the global and local fast convergence results are similar to some of the better equation-based method. Moreover, the new method turns out to be significantly more robust than the corresponding equation-based method. For the case of large complementarity problems, however, the performance of this method suffers from the need for solving the arising linear least squares problem exactly at each iteration. Therefore, we suggest a modified version which allows inexact solutions of the least squares problems by using an appropriate iterative solver. Under certain assumptions, the favorable convergence properties of the original method are preserved. As an alternative method for mixed complementarity problems, we consider a box constrained least squares formulation along with a projected Levenberg-Marquardt-type method. To globalize this method, trust region strategies are proposed. Several ingredients are used to improve this approach: affine scaling matrices and multi-dimensional filter techniques. Global convergence results as well as local superlinear/quadratic convergence are shown under appropriate assumptions. Combining the advantages of the new methods, a new software for solving mixed complementarity problems is presented.}, subject = {Komplementarit{\"a}tsproblem}, language = {en} } @book{FalkMarohnMicheletal.2006, author = {Falk, Michael and Marohn, Frank and Michel, Ren{\´e} and Hofmann, Daniel and Macke, Maria and Tewes, Bernward and Dinges, Peter}, title = {A First Course on Time Series Analysis : Examples with SAS}, organization = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg / Lehrstuhl f{\"u}r Statistik}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-16919}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2006}, abstract = {The analysis of real data by means of statistical methods with the aid of a software package common in industry and administration usually is not an integral part of mathematics studies, but it will certainly be part of a future professional work.
