Abstract

In this book we gather recent mathematical developments and engineering applications of Trefftz methods, with particular emphasis on the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS). These are true meshless methods that have the advantage of avoiding the need to set up a mesh altogether, and therefore going beyond the reduction of the mesh to a boundary. These Trefftz methods have advantages in several engineering applications, for instance in inverse problems where the domain is unknown and some numerical methods would require a remeshing approach. Trefftz methods are also known to perform very well with regular domains and regular data in boundary value problems, achieving exponential convergence. On the other hand, they may also under certain conditions, exhibit instabilities and lead to ill-conditioned systems. This book is divided into ten chapters that illustrate recent advances in Trefftz methods and their application to engineering problems. The first eight chapters are devoted to the MFS and variants whereas the last two chapters are devoted to related meshless engineering applications. Part of these selected contributions were presented in the 9th International Conference on Trefftz Methods and 5th International Conference on the MFS, held in 2019, July 29-31, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Abstract

Optimization has become an essential tool in addressing the limitation of resources and need for better decision-making in the medical field. Both continuous and discrete mathematical techniques are playing an increasingly important role in understanding several fundamental problems in medicine. This volume presents a wide range of medical applications that can utilize mathematical computing. Examples include using an algorithm for considering the seed reconstruction problem in brachytherapy and using optimization-classification models to assist in the early prediction, diagnosis and detection of diseases. Discrete optimization techniques and measures derived from the theory of nonlinear dynamics, with analysis of multi-electrode electroencephalographic (EEG) data, assist in predicting impending epileptic seizures. Mathematics in medicine can also be found in recent cancer research. Sophisticated mathematical models and optimization algorithms have been used to generate treatment plans for radionuclide implant and external beam radiation therapy. Optimization techniques have also been used to automate the planning process in Gamma Knife treatment, as well as to address a variety of medical image registration problems. This work grew out of a workshop on optimization which was held during the 2005 CIM Thematic Term on Optimization in Coimbra, Portugal. It provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in optimization in medicine and will serve as an excellent reference for researchers in the medical computing community and for those working in applied mathematics and optimization.

Abstract

No Brasil, ela já foi responsável por epidemias em diferentes cidades. Nos últimos dez anos, sua letalidade aumentou em diversas regiões do país. Em várias partes do mundo ela vem se expandindo, inclusive em lugares onde, anteriormente, não havia registro de transmissão. A infecção por parasitos do gênero Leishmania causa uma das doenças tropicais mais negligenciadas da atualidade. Estima-se que existam 350 milhões de pessoas em risco de contrair a infecção, sobretudo nas áreas mais pobres do planeta, e que dois milhões de novos casos de leishmanioses ocorram a cada ano. Esse grave cenário justifica o esforço empreendido pelos organizadores e demais pesquisadores do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC/Fiocruz) especialistas no assunto, assim como por profissionais de outras unidades da Fiocruz e instituições brasileiras: eles prepararam uma coletânea que compila o conhecimento já existente sobre o assunto, identifica os principais desafios e discute estratégias para enfrentá-los.
