Offered Bachelor’s or Master’s Theses Topics

Entwicklung eines numerischen Integrationsalgorithmus in hochdimensionalen Räumen

You will develop novel integration algorithms in high-dimensional spaces. Possibilities include various forms of importance sampling algorithms and the further development of the Adaptive Harmonic Mean Integration algorithm using differently chosen volumes for integration. Test problems will be chosen from physics projects to validate the algorithm. Good programming skills and knowledge of linear algebra are a pre-requisite for the project.
