Abstract

The project PolyPDEs aims at developing and analysing a new class of high-order non-conforming numerical methods on polytopal grids for the numerical solutions of partial differential equations and applying these innovative methodologies to the simulation of earthquake scenarios in moderate-to-high Italian seismic areas.

Description

The project PolyPDEs is a starting grant funded by MIUR-Ministero dell'Istruzione dell'Universita' e della Ricerca. It is among the 144 selected projects out of 5252 grant proposals in all fields of Sciences and Humanities (success rate 2.7%).
