Some of the simulation methods that have been proposed and used in computations are reviewed here, from a stability point of view. This involves concepts of differential-algebraic equation (DAE) and ordinary differential equation (ODE) invariants. An explanation of the difficulties that may be encountered using Baumgarte's method is given, and a discussion of why a further quest for better parameter values for this method will always remain frustrating is presented. It is then shown how Baumgarte's method can be improved. An efficient stabilization technique is proposed, which may employ explicit ODE solvers in case of nonstiff or highly oscillatory problems and which relates to coordinate projection methods. Examples of a two-link planar robotic arm and a squeezing mechanism illustrate the effectiveness of this new stabilization method.},

  abstract  = {We consider the numerical treatment of Hamiltonian systems that contain a potential which grows large when the system deviates from the equilibrium value of the potential. Such systems arise, e.g., in molecular dynamics simulations and the spatial discretization of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. Since the presence of highly oscillatory terms in the solutions forces any explicit integrator to use very small step size, the numerical integration of such systems provides a challenging task. It has been suggested before to replace the strong potential by a holonomic constraint that forces the solutions to stay at the equilibrium value of the potential. This approach has, e.g., been successfully applied to the bond stretching in molecular dynamics simulations. In other cases, such as the bond-angle bending, this methods fails due to the introduced rigidity. Here we give a careful analysis of the analytical problem by means of a smoothing operator. This will lead us to the notion of the smoothed dynamics of a highly oscillatory Hamiltonian system. Based on our analysis, we suggest a new constrained formulation that maintains the flexibility of the system while at the same time suppressing the high-frequency components in the solutions and thus allowing for larger time steps. The new constrained formulation is Hamiltonian and can be discretized by the well-known SHAKE method.},

  abstract  = {Als ich anfing, ein Thema f{\"u}r meine Promotion zu erarbeiten, fand ich Massentests ziemlich beeindruckend. TIMSS: {\"u}ber 500000 Sch{\"u}ler getestet. PISA: 180000 Sch{\"u}ler getestet. Ich wollte diese Datenbasis nutzen, um Erkenntnisse f{\"u}r die Gestaltung von Unterricht zu gewinnen. Leider kam ich damit nicht weit. Je tiefer ich mich mit den Tests und den dahinterstehenden Theorien befasste, desto deutlicher sch{\"a}lte sich heraus, dass mit diesen Tests keine neue Erkenntnis generiert werden kann. Fast alle Schlussfolgerungen, die aus den Tests gezogen werden, konnten gar nicht aus den Tests selbst gewonnen werden. Ich konzentrierte mich zunehmend auf die Testaufgaben, weil die Geltung der Aussage eines Tests an der Aufgabe erzeugt wird: In der Aufgabe gerinnt das, was die Tester als „mathematische Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit" konstruieren. Der Sch{\"u}ler wiederum hat nur die Aufgabe vor sich. Es gibt nur „gel{\"o}st" (ein Punkt) und „ungel{\"o}st" (kein Punkt). Damit der Sch{\"u}ler den Punkt bekommt, muss er an der richtigen Stelle ankreuzen, oder er muss etwas hinschrei-ben, wof{\"u}r der Auswerter einen Punkt gibt. In der Dissertation wird untersucht, was die Aufgaben testen, was also alles in das Konstrukt von „mathematischer Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit" einfließt, und ob es das ist, was der Test testen soll. Es stellte sich durchaus erstaunliches heraus: - Oftmals gibt es so viele M{\"o}glichkeiten, zur gew{\"u}nschten L{\"o}sung (die nicht in jedem Fall die richtige L{\"o}sung ist) zu gelangen, dass man nicht benennen kann, welche F{\"a}higkeit die Aufgabe eigentlich misst. Das Konstrukt „mathematische Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit" wird damit zu einem zuf{\"a}lligen. - Es werden Komponenten von Testf{\"a}higkeit mitgemessen: Viele Aufgaben enthalten Irritationen, welche von testerfahrenen Sch{\"u}lern leichter {\"u}berwunden werden k{\"o}nnen als von testunerfahrenen. Es gibt Aufgaben, die gel{\"o}st werden k{\"o}nnen, ohne dass man {\"u}ber die F{\"a}higkeit verf{\"u}gt, die getestet werden soll. Umgekehrt gibt es Aufgaben, die man eventuell nicht l{\"o}sen kann, obwohl man {\"u}ber diese F{\"a}higkeit verf{\"u}gt. Als Kernkompetenz von Testf{\"a}higkeit stellt sich heraus, weder das gestellte mathematische Problem noch die angeblichen realen Proble-me ernst zu nehmen, sondern sich statt dessen auf das zu konzentrieren, was die Tester angekreuzt oder hinge-schrieben sehen wollen. Prinzipiell erweist es sich als g{\"u}nstig, mittelm{\"a}ßig zu arbeiten, auf intellektuelle Tiefe in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Aufgaben also zu verzichten. - Man kann bei Multiple-Choice-Tests raten. Die PISA-Gruppe behauptet zwar, dieses Problem technisch {\"u}ber-winden zu k{\"o}nnen, dies erweist sich aber als Fehleinsch{\"a}tzung. - Sowohl bei TIMSS als auch bei PISA stellt sich heraus, dass die vorgeblich verwendeten didaktischen und psychologischen Theorien lediglich theoretische M{\"a}ntel f{\"u}r eine theoriearme Testerstellung sind. Am Beispiel der Theorie der mentalen Situationsmodelle (zur Bearbeitung von realit{\"a}tsnahen Aufgaben) wird dies ausf{\"u}hrlich exemplarisch ausgearbeitet. Das Problem reproduziert sich in anderen Theoriefeldern. Die Tests werden nicht durch Operationalisierungen von Messkonstrukten erstellt, sondern durch systematisches Zusammenst{\"u}ckeln von Aufgaben. - Bei PISA sollte „Mathematical Literacy" getestet werden. Verk{\"u}rzt sollte das die F{\"a}higkeit sein, „die Rolle, die Mathematik in der Welt spielt, zu erkennen und zu verstehen, begr{\"u}ndete mathematische Urteile abzugeben und sich auf eine Weise mit der Mathematik zu befassen, die den Anforderungen des gegenw{\"a}rtigen und k{\"u}nftigen Lebens einer Person als eines konstruktiven, engagierten und reflektierten B{\"u}rgers entspricht" (PISA-Eigendarstellung). Von all dem kann angesichts der Aufgaben keine Rede sein. - Bei der Untersuchung des PISA-Tests dr{\"a}ngte sich ein mathematikdidaktischer Habitus auf, der eine separate Untersuchung erzwang. Ich habe ihn unter dem Stichwort der „Abkehr von der Sache" zusammengefasst. Er ist gepr{\"a}gt von Zerst{\"o}rungen des Mathematischen bei gleichzeitiger {\"U}berbetonung des Fachsprachlichen und durch Verwerfungen des Mathematischen und des Realen bei realit{\"a}tsnahen Aufgaben. Letzteres gr{\"u}ndet in der Nicht-beachtung der Authentizit{\"a}t sowohl des Realen als auch des Mathematischen. Die Arbeit versammelt neben den Untersuchungen zu TIMSS und PISA ein ausf{\"u}hrliches Kapitel {\"u}ber das Prob-lem des Testens und eine Darstellung der Methodologie und Praxis der Objektiven Hermeneutik.},

With the aid of Maslov theory, we give a geometrical formula for the semiclassical asymptotics as \$h\to 0\$ of the scattering amplitude \$f(\omega_-,\omega_+;\lambda,h)\$ \$\omega_+\neq\omega_-\$) which remains valid in the presence of focal points at infinity (caustics). Crucial for this analysis are precise estimates on the asymptotics of the classical phase trajectories and the relationship between caustics in euclidean phase space and caustics at infinity.},

  abstract  = {For a general attractive Probabilistic Cellular Automata on S-Zd, we prove that the (time-) convergence towards equilibrium of this Markovian parallel dynamics, exponentially fast in the uniform norm, is equivalent to a condition (A). This condition means the exponential decay of the influence from the boundary for the invariant measures of the system restricted to finite boxes. For a class of reversible PCA dynamics on {1,+1}(Zd), wit a naturally associated Gibbsian potential rho, we prove that a (spatial-) weak mixing condition (WM) for rho implies the validity of the assumption (A); thus exponential (time-) ergodicity of these dynamics towards the unique Gibbs measure associated to rho hods. On some particular examples we state that exponential ergodicity holds as soon as there is no phase transition.},
