DAFNE: Discretisation and numerical analysis of fully nonlinear equations

Our project DAFNE deals with the numerical analysis of fully nonlinear PDEs, as Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, the Monge-Ampère equation or optimal transport, by the finite element method.

The topic of DAFNE is the theoretical and practical foundation of FEM and automatic mesh-refinement algorithms for fully nonlinear equations. We analyze a large class of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. They comprise many classical and relevant equations like Pucci’s equation or the Monge-Ampère equation with applications in finance, optimal transport, physics, and geometry.
