A Shape-Newton method for free-boundary problems subject to the Bernoulli boundary condition (2024)
Journal Article
Fan, Y., Billingham, J., & van der Zee, K. (2024). A Shape-Newton method for free-boundary problems subject to the Bernoulli boundary condition. SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 46(6), A3599-A3627. https://doi.org/10.1137/23M1590263

We develop a shape-Newton method for solving generic free-boundary problems where one of the free-boundary conditions is governed by the nonlinear Bernoulli equation. The method is a Newton-like scheme that employs shape derivatives of the governing... Read More about A Shape-Newton method for free-boundary problems subject to the Bernoulli boundary condition.

Laplace-based strategies for Bayesian optimal experimental design with nuisance uncertainty (2024)
Journal Article
Bartuska, A., Espath, L., & Tempone, R. (2025). Laplace-based strategies for Bayesian optimal experimental design with nuisance uncertainty. Statistics and Computing, 35(1), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11222-024-10544-z

Finding the optimal design of experiments in the Bayesian setting typically requires estimation and optimization of the expected information gain functional. This functional consists of one outer and one inner integral, separated by the logarithm fun...
